Former Brexit Party MEP Martin Daubney took to Twitter to sound his dire warning in the face of widespread reports suggesting British demands for a 60 percent reduction in the catch by value in British waters had been cut to 35 percent - much closer to the 25 percent proposed by Brussels. Mr Daubney posted: "If this is true, it will be a total betrayal of our coastal communities. "The Tories will never be forgiven."
His comments are indicative of a deep-seated unease among ex-Brexit Party MEPs fearful of Mr Johnson signing up to a deal which compromises UK sovereignty, with the transition period ending on December 31.
Speaking after Mr Johnson's joint statement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier this month, David Bull told Express.co.uk: "I've never seen a bigger pantomime in my life and it is exactly what we were expecting.
"Look at the language of that statement. The fact that it is a joint statement is really fishy for a start.
"There is also no deadline for the ongoing talks, which is also really suspicious.

8.05am update: Brexit nightmare as Boris Johnson could let EU take 'retaliatory action' against UK
Brexit concessions made by Boris Johnson could "allow the EU to take action" against the UK in the future, experts have warned as negotiations falter.
As the threat of a no deal Brexit coincides with fears over the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is resisting an extension to negotiations with Brussels.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and a number of Conservative MPs have called for talks to go into next year after France banned UK freight from entering the country.
This means there is just a week and a half for Brussels and London to agree and then ratify a trade deal before the transition period ends on January 1.
Disagreements that have prevented a trade deal from being agreed include clashes over fisheries and regulatory divergence.
7.56am update: Food prices may go up, warn MPs
Food prices may rise if the Government does not make changes to post-Brexit immigration policy, MPs have said.
Plans to restrict UK food producers' access to workers from the rest of Europe risks undermining their competitiveness, according to the Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Efra) Committee.
British food and farming industries face "dramatic changes" when freedom of movement from the EU ends with the post-Brexit transition period on December 31, the committee's report said.
The study noted that people from European Economic Area (EEA) countries currently account for the majority of workers in sectors of the food industry like meat processing and picking crops.
The committee said: "The Government must be ready to make changes to its new immigration policy, or risk increased food prices."
7.48am update: Brexit just the beginning! Brits told talks with EU to go on for YEARS even if deal done
An EU trade deal will not be the end of negotiations with Brussels, one of the architects of Brexit has warned.
There are just 10 days now until the UK leaves the transition period with the EU. Four and a half years after the 2016 referendum, Britain will finally break free from Brussels.
Deal or no deal, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed the UK will be no longer be tied to the bloc's rules from January 1.
But Baroness Gisela Stuart of Edgbaston, one of the most prominent eurosceptics during the Brexit campaign has warned the end of the transition period will not spell the end of talks with the EU, even if a deal is signed.
7.41am update: 'Irresponsible' France uses border FURY to take Brexit swipe - ‘Could have helped!’
A French official has claimed the nation "could have helped" the UK battle the new COVID-19 strain if it hadn't voted for Brexit as the two nations battle over the shutdown of the French border.
The comments come as Natalie Elphicke, Conservative MP for Dover, attacked the French Government for its decision to suddenly close its border with the UK amid concern over the new strain.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the coronavirus mutation appears to be more infectious than the previous strain.
Ms Elphicke hit out at France’s border closure, calling it "unnecessary, unhelpful, and irresponsible".
Thierry Breton, France’s EU commissioner, used the border shutdown to describe Brexit as a “tragedy”.
He told business news outlet BFM Business: “It's a tragedy what's happening in Britain, and this Brexit is a tragedy – we see it more and more every day."
He also claimed the country could have provided assistance to the UK if it had “chosen to remain in the European Union”.
7.30am update: "Tories will never be forgiven"
Boris Johnson will never be forgiven if he signs up to a deal which sells out Britain's fishing industry, a leading Brexiteer has said, amid rumours UK negotiators are on the verge of striking an agreement with the EU.
Former Brexit Party MEP Martin Daubney took to Twitter to sound his dire warning in the face of widespread reports suggesting British demands for a 60 percent reduction in the catch by value in British waters had been cut to 35 percent - much closer to the 25 percent proposed by Brussels.
Mr Daubney posted: "If this is true, it will be a total betrayal of our coastal communities.
"The Tories will never be forgiven."
