For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Lots in the deal, Labour has been working on since opposition. Eg the veterinary agreement has been part of work since 2020. There is a lot riding on it now.

Maybe the only effective way to respond to people playing their phone out loud on public transport is to earnestly enquire: “I have a spare set of headphones, do you need them?”
