The multi-million pound Navy warships sent to protect Jersey amid fisheries row
Royal Navy ships have been sent to patrol waters around Jersey amid an ongoing post-Brexit fishing row between the island and France.
The EU has complained to Birtain that the terms of its post-Brexit trade deal are being ignored.
The European Commission said French fishing boats were facing “additional conditions” if they were to carry on operating, in breach of the terms of the agreement hammered out on Christmas Eve.
But in a call with Jersey’s chief minister John Le Fondre, Boris Johnson again voiced his “unequivocal support” for the actions taken by the island’s government.
