Binding or not, what UK did is allowed by EU law, so it was not resulting from an additional freedom caused by Brexit.

It would breach EU agreements. Obviously that's ok if you are German as all member states are equal but some are more equal than others.

The agreement was not imposed. Member states made a choice.

Many memberstates bought vaccines individually, it seems they were all free to do that.

Wrong again. No they weren’t. 

 

Germany did it anyway because Germany gets to do what it wants without reprisal.

You couldn't write this stuff....what a farce

When pushed on his “oven-ready” Brexit deal, Boris Johnson said that he had meant the withdrawal agreement, and not the political declaration and subsequent trade deal. Now he is disowning that agreement and threatening to override it. Was it his agreement or wasn’t it? Did he understand it when he signed it and then pushed it through parliament, or not?

 

Letters to the Guardian

OK I can understand that many Brexiters on here don't understand what the UK becoming a third country means and the implications of that for exporting to the EU, but   George Eustice, the Secretary of State ? He wrote to the EU commission complaining that "  trade which has been in place for many years” is no longer permitted.

 

What part of "Brexit means Brexit" does he not understand ?
