Brexit endgame: UK to remove law-breaking clauses from internal market bill

The UK drops its plans to break international law over the Northern Ireland protocol - as it reaches a deal with the EU.
In Brussels, as talks remain stalled, both sides await a visit by Boris Johnson to see if it can bring about a Brexit breakthrough.

So the British governments great break though is "will not break the law any more"

[doemijmaarfriet]

Not bored, annoyed. Putting law breaking items in as a deal strategy vs EU should not have been rewarded. Its bad faith.

[asanulsterman]

Just tickle Boris's tummy a little and he's yours... disgusted

[fkend]

Start of the sellout that we knew would come.

[jamesmccard]

to say that the BRITISH people are sick of the defeatist PM's we have is just heart breaking.

[Angel-dark]

They make me laugh...they have had four and a half years to make a deal.people are fed up of it now.They are all messing about it's ridiculous.

[gemstar]

Don't get excited. It's just to mitigate blame.

[jamesmccard]

BORIS GOES INTO THE EU spiders web where they will eat him up . Why did he go unless he is going to give up.

[nigeljohnson]

No, it said it would only withdraw the internal markets bill if there is a trade deal. If not, the EU can expect the UK to drive a coach and horses through the EU internal market and the withdrawal agreement.

When it comes to fishing the solution is really easy. EU fishermen apply to the British government individually for a license to fish in British waters. That license will tell them where they can fish and what and how much they can catch. The problem is, Macron wont agree to any trade deal that does not include the status quo on fishing. This means Boris is wasting his time with these talks and should tell the country to prepare for a no deal brexit at the end of the year.

The Dutch have a lot to lose keep your nerve Boris you hold all the cards

[bruceburnett]

It was only put in to become a negotiating tool. How could we ever break international law?
We are now in the final stages of those negotiations. Give and take on both sides. We will probably give more fishing rights away than the British public would like, but a deal is better than no deal. However, if the Eu refuse to concede on their part we should just walk away. Everyone loses.

Gove stabbed Boris in the back before. Just hope this isn't the second time.

[bnlbnl]

UK lost this fight. Will BoJo back down on the rest to hand a total victory t the EU?

[Redf]

Pulled a branch off the olive tree then handed it back.

[brianjelly]

Europe has wasted too much time and money with BoJo, the clown and the liar who doesn’t even respect the commitments he signed with 27 governments. Go home in UK, BoJo !

[johnmitchell]

Punish the 17.4 million who voted brexit by tossing them into the sea. Or else No Deal!😂😂🤣🤣🤣😷

[slatecat]

"So your saying" if Britain doesn't catch the fish and doesn't sell it to the EU market... I fail to see the leverage from the EU here if the UK share is currently so low...
I'm sure the UK will offer fishermen from the EU a fair share under a UK governance for sustainable fishing.

I just hope Nigel Farage and his new political Reform Party takes off, without the Reform Party I would have no one to vote for !
