🎄 Happy Christmas to everyone in the distant fishing fleet and to every fish & chip shop in the land.

Lack of cod fishing in our waters makes it all the more important for the UK to secure increased cod quota in the Barents Sea from Norway so that our distant fleet can catch the fish where there is an abundance.

The UK's distant fleet gets around a 25% of the cod quota we used to, so reducing jobs, our economy and our food security. Let us hope that this year our government gets us more quota in Norwegian waters so that we can catch cod for our fish & chip shops rather than importing it.
