Scottish Secretary Ian Murray asserts that the new UK-EU trade deal offers 12 years of certainty for fishermen, with unchanged quotas and improved access to EU markets. Despite this, the Scottish Fishermen's Federation condemns the agreement as a 'horror show'. The deal has also incited anger from the Scottish government, which claims it was not consulted during negotiations. Murray, however, defends the process, stating ongoing communication with Scottish officials. This reflects deeper tensions between devolved governments and Westminster, particularly over issues related to fishing and trade.
