US Politics | Britain simply cannot let half the nation’s fish and chip shops go bust

THE pub. The corner shop. The chippy. Cornerstones of our communities. . Getty '/ ' We get why Boris Johnson insists on a 35 per cent tariff on the Russian fish on which our takeaways rely so heavily. We must defend freedom via economic pressure on the Kremlin.

Only half their passport agents turned up to work at Dover last weekend, before languidly checking every detail. Yesterday France suggested we could always just allow free movement again, like our referendum never happened. Macron's transport minister Clément Beaune sneered: "France is not responsible for Brexit." Paris must know this tantrum is self-harming. Brits won't volunteer for these queues for long. They will spend their holiday money anywhere but France. For French politicians, though, even economic harm is a price worth paying to poke Brexit Britain in the eye.
