Boris Johnson has dismissed post-Brexit red tape problems in the fishing industry, promising British fleets they can expect “El Dorado” in the years ahead – referring to the mythical land of endless riches.

It comes as farmers warned that reductions in EU food imports may force the UK to accept sub-standard supplies from other parts of the world just to feed the population. The National Farmers Union said post-Brexit supply problems “are going to get bigger”.

Elsewhere, Mr Johnson said he was looking forward to working “hand in hand” with incoming US president Joe Biden, as No 10 scrambles to reach out to the new administration. Labour’s shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy called Mr Biden a “woke guy”.
