He tweeted: “Today the UK government must tell Mr Barnier again we will become an independent country making our own laws, controlling our own fish and no longer under the European Court.

The comments were subject to some online derision, with MP’s name trending on Twitter.

One user tweeted: “Appreciate John Redwood explaining the point of Brexit: so that we get to finally *checks notes* control fish.”

Another said: “Have you ever tried controlling a fish? Virtually impossible, they're slippery, evasive, demonstrate random behaviour, have very short memories, are slimy and don't articulate very well. A bit like yourself.”

John Redwood controlling our fish.


Paul Bernal, a law professor at the University of East Anglia, tweeted: “‘Controlling our own fish’. John Redwood is Aquaman."


John Redwood, MP for Wokingham, also warned President-elect Joe Biden not to meddle with Brexit.

He said that despite Mr Biden having a "clear mandate" in America, there was a "larger percentage mandate" in the UK for the EU referendum result.

He wrote in a letter: "The UK’s EU referendum gave us a larger percentage mandate for exit than your own convincing win, so you will understand the importance to us of becoming a truly independent country again on 1 January next year."

He urged the president-elect to work with the British government to achieve its goals on both sides of the Atlantic and denied there was a Tory plot to undermine the Good Friday Agreement (GFA).
