Conservative MPs are throwing fish into the Thames in protest at Theresa May's Brexit deal

LONDON - Conservative MPs and Leave-voting fisherman took to a fishing boat on the Thames on Wednesday morning in protest at the Theresa May's decision to keep Britain withing EU fishing rules during the Brexit transition.

May's decision is causing uproar among Conservative MPs in coastal constituencies with 14 writing to May threatening to withdraw their support from the government over the issue.

Now two of their number have decided to lay anchor beside parliament and toss dead fish into the sea in protest. No, we're not making this up. Here is how it is all going down.

Here are the fish

And here is the boat

And here are the crew, white rollnecks and all

It is apparently not the most pleasant of boats to be on

The media are struggling to keep up
