GB News members have been asked whether they think Britain should scrap the EU deal after France detained two UK fishing boats

French authorities have been condemned for detaining two British fishing boats in the same week the Prime Minister was heavily criticised and accused of "surrendering" UK fishing rights to the EU.

In the latest enforcement operation, the French Maritime Prefecture confirmed that a French patrol vessel had intercepted and seized a UK trawler off the Baie de Somme in the English Channel.


The incident happened on Thursday, just hours after a record number of 825 small boat migrants had crossed illegally into UK waters.

The seizure comes just days after Keir Starmer was heavily criticised over a landmark deal with the EU over fishing rights.

European trawlers will now be granted access to British waters for a further 12 years under the new agreement, which has been condemned by the majority of UK fishermen.

With that in mind, do you think Britain should scrap the EU deal after France detained the two UK fishing boats? Have your say by voting in the poll below.
