U.K. P.M. Boris Johnson

 

(Bloomberg) -- The UK is making last-minute tweaks to planned legislation to override a portion of its Brexit deal, as the European Union prepares to relaunch legal proceedings as part of the bloc’s response to the move.

 

The EU has drawn up a draft statement to follow a UK move, emphasizing a calm response and reiterating the need to return to negotiations, while reminding the UK that their trade agreement is predicated on the Brexit accord, according to people familiar with the issue.

 

The draft, which is subject to change, has been prepared by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, ahead of London presenting a planned bill designed to give ministers the power to unilaterally rewrite post-Brexit rules governing Northern Ireland, said the people who declined to be named on confidential preparations.

...

Unfreezing infringement proceedings, which have so far been suspended on good faith during negotiations and could ultimately lead to financial penalties being imposed on the UK, would be a first step but the trade agreement between the two may have to come up for discussion later, they said.

Get on with Boris. First the bill and then make as many changes to the NIP as necessary.

It's already enraging the EU and Ireland so it must be the best option for the UK. That it will incense the Lib/Lab/Rejoin pact is a fantastic bonus, as is anything that sours EU relations and stymies their plot.

here we go ????

 

why can't we just put a full embargo to send the right message to the Brexiters? ????

 

That will also hurt the Remainers , don't forget that less than 50 % of the UK population voted for Brexit .

   Do you want to punish the majority of the Country who didn't vote to leave ?

Aye, right you are, Vladimir. But why don't you concentrate on your war of conquest in Ukraine first?

Kiev is about 2,000 miles away from Belfast. I can’t quite see your connection?
