well are there are obviously teething problems we are going to be never going to find the novel or to 50 years our end is that it's a failure to pass properly not teething problem failure to plan properly and you will want about it no i think what is clear is that we didn't know the situation regarding a trade deal until the very last minute the 20 it was christmas eve and i believe that we alliance i deal with and the europeans to the fact that people are criticizing the under par in this or either the government or the european union customs officials in terms of getting everything up and running is a little bit unfair there were no the militia called considerably earlier than christmas eve we are aware that there are issues in terms of free stuff coming across the irish sea into northern ireland and what we none of us want to see every again and shell from markets in the united kingdom so we are very sure and certain that the steps we have taken since the early weeks trying to make sure that they

start get not nolen means that we will not be seeing those scenes nobody wants to happen in the least about it was staggering to read mr johnson's christmas eve speech that his back to tail means certainty for business from financial services to our world leading manufacturers in fact there's no certainty it over britain's financial services is that because. there's almost nothing in the deal about them and the johnson itself regretted that hadley's didn't he said that the odd sale to meet exam visions in that sector certainly no certainty that in fact the earlier certainty was came in the losses that hit the city of london the 1st full day of trading this year i think the prime minister was saying on the 24th was that what this deal does is guarantee 7 secret where we are heading of united kingdom where relationship will be with european union so the business can go on plan for the next few years and decades. as we move forward that is what the prime minister

saying about hardly encouraging signs were there nearly 6000000000 euros worth of dealing shifted right out of london on that 1st day of trading and into other european capitals the chief executive of akki chain said it's not big bang it's bang and it's gone the city has lost its european share business that's a hefty cut in tax receipts for the government and some of that prediction didn't make it its way into the black city as. prospectors did it before the referendum. really there are obviously areas of the deal or maybe we might just always have gone further and we night may have liked to see in financial services included in terms of the overall effect of the able what we achieved was what people normally expect are we anybody anywhere expect the stables it's even the prime minister said we are to stop and say for business that's exactly what we did this is not i know what our relationship with the content of your will be for the next year and probably ask you that if the markets are

a very good place to start with the government they don't know if they don't know because the e.u. hasn't accepted the equivalence between britain's financial services and its own so you have no idea whether they're going to do that and perhaps the only certain thing is what the office of budget what the people because i think the next crisis when they get the office of budget responsibility says you're going to take a 4 percent hit to g.d.p. over the next 10 years that's the only certainty that's coming up really good well i mean the only certainty is that i'd be making accommodation for the millionaires barons to be better to be proven wrong in some respects indeed i can't even remember the last and the only arbitration that was and anyway near correct the last 10 years the united in the fact is in your opinion you know it's ethical or the president sacked for them they would be coming off their nose at us by their faith relationship between the london stock exchange right promoter of a speech and injury and will continue to be so and i will always the european union

expecting that accepting a quick words is beneficial not just to us the but to them as well well it's good of you to tell them what's beneficial for them but they may well have other ideas about it as they have done throughout the negotiations over this comes as a new study from the london school of economics predicts british exports to the e.u. will nose dive by around a 3rd over the next 10 years with total u.k. trade falling by 13 percent those dark predictions about topped by figures for last year compiled by the financial times released in december they show that u.k. goods. exports have lagged behind countries in 2020 in both the e.u. and other markets where we have more work commissary harvest to build up our manufacturing sector and to increase exports from the united kingdom but the dire predictions from the london school of economics from the financial times and others were is exactly the same people that were predicting dark consequences on the day that we left the european union last year they were taking no hits we go and

somehow become a pariah state movers in the north sea the absolutely not the case this year we're demonstrating hosting conference he says hosting the g 7 that we are a leading player on the world stage we will continue to be so working with our friends and allies in the european union yes of course we want x. we're more yes of course we want to move ahead of italy again at 40 c. and i says americans should be building more british things in here and things absolutely we should be selling them abroad and that's not just is not just or is it is not just predictions just about in the 6 months to october us imports from the u.k. fell by almost 30 percent that's almost twice the drop recorded by germany in spain so there's clearly nervousness about trading with britain at the moment isn't that one people hope the countries in the world in companies across growth overcome that nervousness in the months ahead as they see lowish and just blossom between ourselves and the europeans they see that there is nothing and nothing has changed

that within the united kingdom in terms of our mission to be an outward facing exports a trading nation and that is exactly what we are going to be focusing on as we move ices this period of contact all the rest of the over the next few months and you have the fact that having sovereignty is little more than a myth as former deputy prime minister michael heseltine said recently a sovereign in charge control regained none of that creates a single job one pounds worth of invest. well any rise in living standards that's what he said he's right isn't he and that's what the figures already are showing all of those there's an argument about whether a country is so over not under an argument about how you develop the economy create jobs we can't do both then by britain has achieved sovereignty it's you independence from the european union now our focus is on building off our economy recovering from coronavirus creating jobs and the prime minister is a leveling off across the united kingdom and that is very much where our focus is

now that you are not until a just because one has become sovereign does not mean that was suddenly a choice exceed in every other aspect and we are determined you can get your voters back you've got a 25 percent quota transfer over the next 5 years far less than you originally demanded and you fishermen are now accusing you rightly of a trial of pay why people who may promise is going 100 on my understanding christiane are upset exceptions in the northeast but i represent i understand very much the concerns in the fishing industry and yes we've got 25 percent accord with transfer over the next 5 years i give us the opportunity to build up our fishing industry so that in 5 years' time when we become independent coastal states taking our seat at the table and negotiate access courses and all the rest of it with european union with norway with iceland that we will be doing that on the same basis as all the others so yes i understand the frustration in the beijing industry

it's not what they expected on day one but we have now the prospect of years of becoming an independent sovereign coast state and nice what we're working towards next below our home fishing industry the rain reap the rewards of the sea of opportunity that life with us from 2025 onwards it wasn't what they expected because it wasn't what you told them to expect it was never going to happen that way was it because some of that sovereignty that you won through leaving the european union you bargain the way in the day. ill fitting shoe as you always do with sovereignty you bargain bits away 70 is bargain by britain's membership of the w t l the world health organization nato it's not an absolute is it sovereignty no it's not about the british people but it was hard to an absolute it was sold as an absolute what the british people voted for in june 26th in was to have control over their borders and their laws and where british money british tuskers money was

indeed being nice but we're cheap through reading your opinion and leaving the transition agreement with this deal and in 5 years time british fisherman will have control over more stocks of fish and they have ever had since we 1st joined the european community as it was in the 1970 s. it was only then by the way that the europeans even created the common fisheries policy so yes we are going to have to buy our plan and be patient the next 5 years doesn't do it a little dust over a 100000000 times in building up our fishing industry so it can reap the rewards when the day comes that we take our seat as an independent. i would look in coastal states in the negotiations of your enormous well your currents and your businesses are buying that the national federation of fisherman's organizations told mr johnson recently it would be much better if you with humility and on a state that word again humility and honesty conceded that you tried but failed

rather than implying that you've handed us the keys of our liberation when you haven't so there's a long way to go to convince your clients that you've actually got what you say you've got because in all the wrong and now they're not buying now there is a long way to go i guess now and i get the frustration i speak to them on european daily basis so i understand what we have to do to make sure that we retain the trust of fishermen in the fishing industry in the united kingdom but it's all the banks are saying that we have got this deal across the line. we are still able to trade and sell british parish in the european union would otherwise be 85 percent or transfer by the way what the e.u. were initially asking for a troll in 5 years' time given we have been member of this conflict we always say which our own people say ruined the british fishing industry of last year's i think all right you overpriced and we will return benefits in a few years all right anger about it's been great having you all come for example
