  THE European Union has been blasted for the mountain of paperwork fishermen have to complete in order to export to the trading bloc.

"So we are pushing sales in the UK and pushing sales in the Far East to attempt and compensate for what we have lost from Europe." June Mummer

 The Biden administration is thinking about extending a pandemic freeze on Americans’ student-loan repayments beyond its scheduled expiration in September and turning to piecemeal measures to lower their student-debt bills.
