"France has agreed to delay collecting a new tax on multinational technology firms until the end of 2020, a French government official has told the BBC. The digital services tax has provoked an angry response from Washington. The US had threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on $2.4bn (£1.8bn) of French goods, including champagne and cheese, after the tax was passed in July 2019"

At the risk of contradicting myself that this thread should be closed, quote from today's 'i' newspaper. 

 

"Britain is definitely leaving the EU on 31 January.  There will DEFINITELY NOT BE ANY LAST MINUTE REPRIEVE."

Unchecked EU control? 

 

The fishing quotas for 2020 were set in December last year, when we were obviously still part of the EU. These quotas will cover the transition period. Beyond that it'll be  different kettle of fish.... I don't see the problem?

Well why is she moaning about it then? She chose to give up her place in the EU.

 

Besides, UKIP have never been interested in fishery policy anyway, just look at Farage's attendance record.
