FRANCE threatened to block the UK's Christmas supplies and cut energy supplies as they mocked the nation’s fuel crisis.
Europe minister Clement Beaune vowed to exploit the supply chaos to try to win more access to UK waters as the Brexit fishing row turned nasty.
The president of the fishing committee for the northern Hauts-de-France region, Olivier Lepretre, said it was an "option" to block the port in Calais and exports into the United Kingdom. He said: "As far as French fishermen in northern France are concerned, in the absence of any results, the blocking of the port of Calais and exports to the United Kingdom for the period leading up to Christmas is an option."
