communities. i know as someone whose father was a fish merchant and grandparents went to see to fish. i understand how fishing communities feel about the situation and share their disappointment. way i can say it is like the fishing communities in scotland or the u.k. they will never be trusted again. what a fisherman can expect from his government? >> they are treating the industry as expendable. the secretary of state talked about revival. the industry cannot revive based on the status quo that the government has delivered. constituents in great britain will see this is a total sellout. >> what did we get in return? prize allows us as a

country to prepare for the benefits that brexit will bring. >> michael in hot water over the incident fishing deal. eu with draw fill puts all eu law into u.k. law to stop a legislative blackhole from opening up. parliaments revising second chamber prepares to begin their plan. at the end of january they held a two-day debate on the principles of the bill. >> the duty of your house is very clear. should mention, is to the ship -- assert our rights, scrutinize, to amend, and if need be, to reject unacceptable pats of this bill. the more we argue here the

more we weaken the position. should we not be implemented the falling together and presenting a united front. let us not frustrate it. no let up in our efforts to make this bill somehow against all of work in the interest of the british people as we leave europe. as we leave europe, an act of extraordinary political self harm that our grandchildren, and their children will not forgive us for. parliament,reign and the reality at pate of it is unclear is entitled to change if it wants to. to seek the opinion from the british people as to whether this is what they want. >> we could've made a success of the united kingdom in the european union. we can make a success of cost
