So the question is more like "how can we now boycott the committees when we're no longer in them?", then.

I want to know who the Brexit Party are going to turn their back on. That's what I want to know.
MPs have rejected all Lords amendments to the Brexit bill:

And we can see how much more influence we are going to have. Want a USA trade deal, then don't use Huawei, want a USA trade deal, then don't tax revenues in your country else we will put tariffs on British cars...
We've not even left and the USA knows it can push us around without consequences.
If only we was part of the world's biggest economy so we couldn't be pushed around....

The Lords have already approved the Bill without any of the amendments. So now it just requires royal assent. They decided not to engage in a ping pong match.

Becoming Beth
Now, be fair. She can hardly be held to task. How could anyone possibly have anticipated such an utterly unrelated side-effect?
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings in China and causing a hurricane in the Atlantic. Totally unpredictable.
Just be grateful she noticed when she did, so she could pass the word and it wouldn't come as such an epiphany to all the other Brexiters.
Boris Johnson has announced that Brexit is done

IMO shades of George W Bush and "Mission Accomplished", the real hard work is just beginning - unless the plan is to exist on WTO terms with the EU for the next few years and simply accept whatever terms the US offers for a trade deal.

He's from the comfortable class, their idea of saying something has been done means they've told someone else to do it.Boris Johnson has announced that Brexit is done

As for the fishing industry
90% of the fish processed in the country comes in on foreign boats and after process is exported to mainland Europe.
Various industry figures, locals MPs and processing businesses around Grimsby (the main fish processing centre) are asking Boris to make Grimsby a special case and remain part of EU for purposes of trade.
Grimsby was a big Brexit voting area in the ref.

It's almost as if Brexit voters hadn't thought through the implications of their actions.

They were lied to, extensively.
The billionaire owned press distributed massive misinformation to make uneducated turkeys vote for christmas.
I@m afraid this is the new normal. We're past the tipping point. We're an oligarchy in all but name now.
The most powerful person in the UK is Murdoch.
Nah, it's still Viscount Rothermer as it has been for many a decade.
And they can **** right off.
Own it...
If the rest of us have to put up with this **** show, then the bloody places that voted for it can as well.

That sounded too stupid to be true.
Turns out I was right. The headline badly mischaracterizes her complaint, which is not that they don't have EU representation, but that the EU still has control over UK waters.

Not really. They still should've seen this coming. Also, "Who held them to account before Brexit?" asked June Turnbull. "Nigel Farage only attended one meeting of the Fisheries Committee out of 42."
Was there anything on the agenda of those committee meetings that he personally should have been covering? Also, what makes you think she didn't see this coming? I don't see this in her Tweet. It's hardly a situation that is implicit in Brexit, just the deal that the Brexit party moaned was a bad deal.
Personally, I'd see it as the beginning of the push to maintain pressure to leave for good at the end of the year.
If I was going to attack the Tweet, this quote from Farage about why he didn't attend would be the line I'd take: "There was no legal role, no legislative role in that committee whatsoever, you couldn't do a thing. It was pointless."
