There's Barnier's lies on fishing and transport driving in the EU.
The UK is signatory to the AETR rules on driving, and they are aligned with the EUs.
The claim is that the UK is unfairly blocking a historic right to fish in UK waters. If there is meant to be a "historic right", doesn't that also mean the UK and everybody else, can freely fish in EU waters with no quotas of any sort? It is the UN agreement on Laws of the Seas, that removed any notion of historic rights. Yet this is meant to be the issue that the EU is insisting is blocking ALL notions of a trade deal.

The common fisheries policy was a power grab by the EEC in the first place. It was conveniently introduced just as several countries with large control over fishing, were looking to join.
