The UK fisheries minister has admitted to not reading the post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels when it was agreed because she was busy organizing "a nativity trail", report various UK media outlets.

Asked if her jaw had dropped when she saw the deal with the EU on Christmas Eve, Victoria Prentis reportedly told the Lords EU environment subcommittee: “No, the agreement came when we were all very busy on Christmas Eve, in my case organizing the local nativity trail."
