- The government has been accused of ripping up part of the Brexit withdrawal deal that took the country out of the European Union earlier this year. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
But ministers insist that a new law to change the way customs checks and subsidies work in Northern Ireland under the agreement is just "tidying up loose ends".
That's not how it is being seen in Brussels though, where they said the commitments the UK has already made were "legal obligations" and a "matter of trust".

"Why does the EU not offer a retaliating threat?" Because EU member states actually still have morals and values and don't go down to the UK's level of dirty politics. Trust is hard-earned and quickly lost. So annoyed with the UK at this point. I'm hoping they leave asap. We don't want members like that in the union.
The EU have threatened from day one. Are you living under a rock? I hope the EU collapses, in the biggest way possible.
J Williams Nup, they have never threatened. But they're not gonna fold to the UK ridiculous political games. Look at them! Just look at it. Absolutely no principles and values left over there. Signing agreement and leaving a few months later. It's just such a joke.
@@thisismetoday so they didn't threaten the UK if we didn't give up our fishing grounds? The threats were endless, your rock must be comfortable.
Barnier has no morals. The whole thing has been conducted in bad faith.
@@jpw6893 Look back on Doris's record, on his reputation. Even other tories don't trust him. Did you consider for a moment that the Daily Mail bubble might be a false picture ? or do Rupert Murdoch's and the Barclay Brothers interests align with yours ?
One mans threats to give up fishing grounds is another mans insisting we stand by our word and the agreements made. The secret's in the spin and these boys are slippery.
Ouch, the Belgium MEP has sharp words. Sadly quite true too.
Well hey, a bureaucrat being blunt and pulling no punches in his words is a bureaucrat I'm not going to complain about.
@@MrManBuzz well someone had to say it loud... right? Sad it was someone from outside ;-( I hope there is not a lot of people thinking he is mistaken... harsh as it sounds its just reality...
@gx240 yeah I see from where you are coming from but I think his point of view is common across whole Europe... and most of the civilised world. What makes me sad that the biggest beneficiary of this dispute is Russia. Every fight among EU members & their neighbours makes them stronger...
@gx240 and brexiters moan about being called thick 🤣
Barnier ain't been sidelined. Ignore the Express. If this was true it would be all over the EU newspapers.
@M. Olsen. Pretty sure I've seen British commentators nicknaming him IDS for the IDiot Syndrome or some such. But I know little of the man so how accurate that is, I do not know.
M. Olsen. Ian duncan smith was certainly smart enough to include his middle christian name (duncan) in his titular name as though it’s a form of double barreled name, and ! Managing to evade anyone in the media from picking up on it , alas that’s the only smart thing he in reality claim
M. Olsen. Sorry not middle christian name but ‘ second christian name “
Barnier will be sidelined - because they will be nothing to negotiate anymore once the UK breaks an International agreement. You don´t need a negotiater if their are no negotiations anymore.
I can hear it already. The sound of galloping unicorns approaching the peak of the hill in the distance. Four more months and unicorns for everyone!! 🥳
Galloping unicorns is right and vintage Hi-Fi for all sfmkm.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_20.html , if you can get to it before the 'trash picker'.

Arrow HEart yes and if you drink unicorn blood you live a cursed existence as long as we are in fantasy land anywho the EU have us by the short and curlys were bluffing whilst holding a 2 and 9 unsuited in our hand, whilst the EU had a flush as soon as the flop landed you don’t need to understand this it’s important from the governments perspective that you don’t believe this because it undermines years of bluster and con tricks that they call policy.
Arrow HEart first off I’m part Scottish so well aware of the unicorn symbology reference to the blue flag, the land of unicorns is in reference to the headspace of Brexiter mentality, we are no longer a world power we are not an empire we are ruled by the least among us and we are losing our economic stability we have lost 27% of our wealth since Brexit was kicked off the EU are now 5% richer than when we’re a member figure it out we are the junior partner in this and a play thing for the super powers of the world say it with me we are heading for disaster whilst the conservatives are in power there’s a good lad

@Albert Pike as I said - nobody will miss you ;-)
Hope you enjoy picking up the bill now we have left
I am Irish; the EU must be the sane party in these negotiations and engage constructively looking for an acceptable outcome. This becomes especially true when when the other side is not even acting in its own interests. Trade negotiations by their nature take years, negotiation fatigue isn't acceptable in our negotiators however much we tire from the saga. There's a lot at stake and they must be resolute. They have been just that, we're well represented. Nobody benefits if the extreme Brexiteers get their insane way but the integrity of the single market takes precedence and a deal must be to the advantage of the 27 now that the UK is a 3rd party nation state.
That said, the UK tearing up existing agreements means that future agreements cannot be made and a red line must be drawn on that front.

It's amazing to reflect that Duncan Smith thinks it's a good thing that the EU don't know what the UK is up to.
Good way to negotiate lol Dont know what opposition demands are just the red lines. Tory government is an absolute joke
If Donald Trump looses the elections in November UK should hire him as chief negotiator. He is the only person who could probably make it more awkward, than it already is!
"If you don't give us what we want we will turn ourselves into a roque nation."
If you don't bend to our will and submit to our courts and laws and give us UK territorial waters you can't have a trade deal.
resiplayerz That the U.K. desperately wants.
At least we decided to go rogue
@@resiplayerz Brexit is aggressive. Various people funded the UK turning on its closest allies. And millions of us Brits are not going to forget that. And we'll be back in the EU.
Did you decide to be a bell end?
What negotiations?
With UK unilaterally braking international law previously agreed?
As EU citizen I support NO DEAL!
Good riddance!
I'm so ashamed that this leader, this government and brexit is dragging the UK to new lows. Millions of us say this is not in our name ... we are not little Englanders, not anti European, not intolerant and think we have some God given right to any special place in the world. We have been reduced to a laughing stock.
spoken like a true remainer. We're only a laughing stock to those who agree with you. to the world that understands that global elites are trying to destroy nation states and turn the west into a communist, borderless superstate they aren't laughing (well only at you). They are watching closely to see if we can make it as they have dreams of following us out. Why do you assume that the whole world supports globalism? I have conversations with many conservative intellectuals who know what's going on in the world, and fear the desrtruction of the west as we know it, and are supporting Brexit and the taking back of all nation sttates in Europe out of the control of the EU.

@@imacomputerbuddie whereas the EU aren't greedy dictators robbing citizens to line their own fat pockets, no? Don't talk stupid, he's sinply honouring the referendum result, all you little jealous bitches bring up the British empire cause you thing becoming sovereign is akin to building an empire lol. Stupid!!!
EU Negociation mandate is in no way tied to Barnier's will. It was set up by member states and MEP. UK still don't get how the EU works 🙃 If member states and MEP decide to change the mandate, Barnier will stick to it EU mandate is clear and stable. Still waiting for a clear and consistent mandate from the UK to date ... Westminster elites attempting to blame Brussels while not being a member anymore, what a joke. Brexit is delivered go and seek another scapegoat at home now 👌
I doesn't seem that Barnier is going to be sidelined, he is doing an amazing job
Nope. Fake news from The Telegraph.
A no deal brexit bring it on
Mario Rossi ha ha ha says a EU loving idiot
Funny they will side line the guy who's taking orders from the EU commission. Maybe the EU will send 27 different negotiators instead of 1😂
@Sylvia Hollely great isn't it Sylvia independence at last
Bridgin got away again when asked why he and his party signed up to the Northern Irish part of the agreement. Interviewers are so light weight.
Where did channel 4 dig that idiot Bridgen up from, I would have thought he would be standing outside the Irish Passport office waiting to collect the Irish Passport he thinks he is entitled to.
He didn’t call UK a rogue state, But if Britain was to renege on the International legal binding “withdrawal agreement” then UK would be rogue state that didn’t honor their international treaties!
You guys seriously need to start listening to what people are actually saying and stop spinning it into something else!
@Albert Pike Nobody forced the UK to join, nobody is stopping you from walking away. Take all of the fish you yourself don't consume and choke on it for all I care. If the UK considered the EU illegal it shouldn't have joined nor should it have enjoyed its benefits for so long. Start whining now about the "EU being illegal" is really not a grown-up excuse.
@Albert Pike That would make the UK government illegal, wouldn't it? You seemed to put up with it being so illegal for tens of years. Rogue state indeed.
For a start the EU has already violated their withdrawal agreement bye not respecting Britain's sovereignty over its Waters and its businesses therefore for the withdrawal agreement is null and void
Soft lad! Don't ever go to court without a lawyer!
What a load of shite
England sold its fishing rights, the EU never took it England sold it
@Albert Pike You are FSB. #ShitpostQuean
Andrew Bridgen 🤣 🤣🤣!
I can’t take brexiters serious anymore! I used to think this situation was bad but i realise they have to find reality before the country can move. Now i find them so funny to hear!! They are so blinded by their arrogance!! Its like they read the Express and actually believe it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The deal will come when we are in the elevator threatening to leave the building.....and the eu will say- ok bye bye.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And IDS, is he talking about trade negotiations or a war?? 🤣🤣🤣
Albert Pike ok!! Great idea, lets leave the EU nazis to war together!! 🥳
'The days of the British Empire are long gone' ...................... very well said. Just a pity that this message does not sink in with ca. 50% of the uk population.
What would that make the EU then. The French empire. Or the fourth reich?
52% , the rest lost !!
@Brother Spartacus So that is what Empire 2.0 looks like. International law, agreed by the UK just a year ago, is unilaterally rewritten and Brexiteers talk about sovereignty.
If that is the new British sovereignty, every country in the world will know what any agreement with this new "Sovereign UK" is worth: Nothing. The US is not going to miss out on that either and in fact, if the UK is reneging on the Withdrawal agreement, chances are very high that any US-UK trade deal will be vetoed by Congress, also be important Conservatives.
@@sagichnicht6748 Good job that logic isn't followed through when it comes to NATO defence spending commitments, otherwise a good majority of Europe wouldn't be trusted either
@Tracchofyre By the looks of Germany's AfD and the popularity of France's Le Pen, it could just as well turn out to be the Third Reich 2.0. I mean, if UK independence is somehow the British empire 2.0, how much more likely is that?
I don’t think the citizens of the UK realize how very weak their negotiating position is. If the y do unilaterally change what the agreed to and pass it into law it will hamstring their ability to do any deals. No one needs the UK as a customer or a supplier. Of course they would like to have a relationship but it’s not life shattering. The UK on the other hand just fired its number one customer. The UK badly needs customers.
A lot of us do. We said Brexit was a bad idea.
We've been hijacked by gaming a flawed system with mystery foreign money.
William Truscott . It's not a matter of negotiation, it's a matter of perceived control. Mr Johnson can control a no-deal Brexit, so that is what he is doing and presenting to the electorate as a success.
My takeaway from this: short GBP.
all his mates have already.....they just wait to pass 'GO' and collect...
Short gbp and pile into uk ftse 100. Cheaper uk exports and earnings in US dollars .
Spot on! Rees-Mogg, Redwood, and their fellow Tory shysters will rake it in and have a good larf at the expense of the brexwitted muppets who voted for them.
@Andy Frost And yet another Brexwit in full meltdown mode ... Brexit takes its toll.
@@markchesters8861 would help if we still made stuff to export.
I wanted Britain to be part of EU or least part of EEC. Now I am tired of hearing rubbish from Mr Jonson and brexiteers. Just leave the EU, just get out and go, man. Stop wasting peoples time. You will find out if you can find those glory days back.
Boris might have the title prime minister but Dominic Cummings is the one pulling the strings.
It always makes me laugh when a Brexiteer says, “Pressure is coming on to the EU” (8:57) by Britain basically threatening to hurt itself. - Reneging on international law? Sure, great idea, what could go wrong?
He is like that Iraq minister of information in 2003 "There are no american tanks near baghdad" As tanks are rolling through in the background lol
Andrew Bridgen... the guy so well informed he was under the impression all Brits were entitled to an Irish passport. How anyone can take him seriously just baffles me
He is the personification of the brexitard.
All Brits are entitled to an Irish passport if they follow the rules, it's even written into the Irish constitution

Don't know why you asked the man from Coalville for an interview.
He is a typical dumb head talking about things he doesn't understand. Could be a relative of Nigel Fartass..
yeah I'm scratching my head about this -_-
I get the impression that the interviewer during the interview realizes what an absolute mistake it was to have this man froim Coalville interviewed. The Coalville person is clearly out on deep waters and doesn't know the first thing about what is going on - did he just quote the Express?
He makes two short planks look like a computer.
Because nobody that comes from the big electorate is keen on discussing this matter and paying the political price alongside voters for a big mess that neither the conservatives nor liberals support.
The government is looking out for the country in my opinion to help with international law this is Britain
It is not Versailles?> ;)
That MP is also blinded by Brexit believes. If the UK, does alter an international agreement onesided, it has no worth in the future. This has nothing to do with the EU, the EU is the testing ground for the UK, but on the long road, it will damage the UKs reputation for decades. If you want to change an agreement, both sides have to involved, this is how is business is done, not believed.

Labour did not respect the will of the people and their leaders are all anti democratic traitors. At least the Tories are getting us disentangled from that EU mess, like we voted for.
@@jasondevon481 Labour never said there wouldn't be a brexit if they won, they just said there would be a second referendum.
"Sovereignty is limited by the sovereignty of others". Remarks like that could only come from the mouth of a big headed bully.
English people are so selfish in Brexit, they are happy leaving EU, but didn't consider the willing of Scottish, and leave many difficulties to Northern Irish.
The UK votes to leave that includes the Welsh the Scots and the ulstermen
@Brother Spartacus English take advantage of population. Scottish can not affect the result, they are forced to accept this result. Both Scottish and Northern Irish voted for staying in EU 4 years before.
@@danieloliver4558 are you pretending that you don't know the population of the 4 areas? Why Scots nearly gave all their votes to SNP last December, they don't want to leave EU.
The EU are just upset that they are finally finding out what Clause 38 of the Withdrawal Agreement means. For anyone not aware, it declares that the UK Parliament is 'sovereign' regardless of the WA's special status in domestic law. Basically, it gives our Parliament the right to act unilaterally under the Agreement as we see fit. The EU ratified that same agreement in January as we did. If they didn't understand what Clause 38 would mean, that is a painful lesson they are sure to learn very quickly. It is not our problem. Anything we now do we are free to do under the right of Clause 38, in exercising our sovereignty :)
That would be nice if it wasn't overridden by Clause 5 and the fact that Clause 38 has no legal effect.
Hence why this is a deeply controversial story and not just "news".
@@Malky24 The clause was inserted by Bill Cash. He's a UK law constitutional expert. I'll take his word and advice over yours any day I'm afraid, he may be old......but the old fox knows exactly what he was doing when he insisted the sovereignty clause be in the WA. Bearing in mind, the Sovereignty clause states regardless of the WA's 'special status' in domestic law, Parliament is sovereign. Parliament passed that law, so it has full legal standing. Note the final sentence that says "Nothing in this act derogates from the Sovereignty of the Parliament of the United Kingdom." In other words.....Parliament can do exactly what it wants around the WA. No other clause cancels this out.
@@bobpage6597 Clause 38 has no *legal* basis and all domestic actions are subject to the withdrawal agreement which will override any parliamentary statutes.
This was explicitly agreed to by Parliament which means Clause 38, in legal terms, is "ceremonial" for want of a better word. The WA will always be enforced by the courts.
@@Malky24 I'm afraid not. Every country has the right to also unilaterally withdraw from any international treaty. As was stated in Parliament today, the EU are in effect in violation of their own agreement because they are not respecting UK sovereignty which they said they would do (by insisting ECJ oversight, state aid rules etc.....that is interference in our own legal framework) and they are refusing to even discuss an FTA, which is another key point they promised.
If there is no deal, then the WA doesn't matter anyway. Its void. The WA was there on the proviso of a deal being agreed in the first place, and that's been said since the beginning.
Clause 38 gives the UK full sovereign rights over the Act. Bill Cash didn't insert it for kicks, he's a constitutional law expert for heavens sake, and a very good one. He's outfoxed the EU because the EU made a mistake in ratifying the WA as it stands.
The EU recently negotiated FTAs with South Korea and Japan and has just signed an updated trade agreement with the US. It is negotiating with 13 other countries as I write. None of these other countries, *_none_* have been as fractious and awkward as the UK. It's time the UK grew up and stopped acting like the Kevin & Perry country of Europe.
Going back on their word in an international agreemnt is going to do wonders for their international credibility. Doesn't look good for future trade deals.
So the EU now controls japans waters and controls its state aid?
But the EU is not asking for their fishing waters or the ECJ controlling some parts of their country. That’s why the UK is in a unique position and will not let the EU control our lives.
@@anymonkey70 You are a fucking moron, the UK sold those rights willingly, they were never taken. Jesus, you people are so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt.
Conservative MP in Coalville is in Cloud Cuckoo Land. EU needs other 28 states more than UK. At least they appreciate their sovereign rights within the EU, and have exercised them successfully on many occasions; unlike the UK government who were too lazy too and just played the blame game as the easy way out. Borris is laziest of all and will blame anyone else when his incompetence is found out.
Do you really think your little island can win against the most powerful trading block on the planet?
catchfish205 yes but those same morons are calling the shots and don’t seen to grasp the actual consequences.
There is so much on the line for the EU and a bad deal is out of the question.

Then who would clean all that dirty money from Russia if not London? Don't think much will change in that sense.
Things have already started to change with financial institutions putting investment in mainland Europe instead of London. With car manufacturers putting UK investment on hold.
@Andy Frost God, you really are a moron. London is the largest financial center in the Europe BECAUSE the UK was in the EU and since the brexit vote the value of the UK external financial market, relative to Frankfurt and Paris, has been consistently shrinking year on year. Also, you munchkins have been saying "the EU will collapse" since the 1980's! In fact, most analysts agree that the EU will probably be stronger after brexit as there will be greater cohesion among the remaining members.
Don't know what the fuss is about, the EU broke international law because the ECB's public sector purchase programme and the EU did nothing, and Germany the decision by the German constitutional court effectively means the Bundesbank won't be able to participate in the ECB’s bond-buying programme, at least not unless either the law or the treaties are changed.

Well said :D
Well that's the name given to states who lie and do not honor the signed international deals and treaties they sign up to. Rogue, untrustworthy, states.
@Sylvia Hollely Great! So your entire argument is based on events from 75 years ago. The EEC was created, post war, in order to preserve life and ensure that WWIII didn't occur (check out Heseltines interview last week, he was instrumental in joining and explains the reasons perfectly) Now there is one state which isn't happy just leaving, but wants to sabotage the whole idea.
@Sylvia Hollely so you think WW2 and 25m dead was "haha"? Didn't you mommy love you enough or are you just incapable of critical thinking. Trolls are getting boring nowdays...
This is Johnsons way of not taking blame.
If he changes the withdrawal agreement then the uk breaches international law and the eu will have not be able to proceed.
Johnson will then announce that we would of had a great deal and it would be amazing if it wasn’t for the pesky Eu that refuses to deal with us.
Michael McCullagh yeah 😂 they don’t realise they’re arrogance and attitude is driving the union apart faster than independence parties ever could!!
I am blessed to work for an international company and international colleagues. From a European perspective from colleagues, the distrust lies with Germany. The EU is GERMANY!
The fact that my five year old daughter is able to write with better grammar than you, suggests that you work in Lidl or Aldi as a shelf stacker (or some other menial job); I honestly doubt you have much experience of anything European, outside sitting in an english pub in either Benidorm or some other Spanish town full of english immigrants.
I don’t know which international company you work for but I think a special one.
The EU has 27 veto votes for all international treaties, each country has one vote , so your argument that EU is Germany is wrong.
Speak for yourself, shyster!
@@arfnore sanctimonious moron
"write with better grammar"? I'd suggest home schooling hasn't benefitted your daughter and I'm glad she's back at school.
We're not Russia or China and God forbid that we even venture there. UK needs to act honourably. The point of Brexit was just a farce from the outset. We need to value unity in Europe right now.
The bullies are now getting bullied!!!! PRICELESS!!
Threatening to disrespect an international agreement is a sign of weakness not of strength.
There's nothing like the " unbiased " views of C4.
How would you know, whinger.
Why cant the EU follow international law whem it comes to natural resources in our territorial waters, they want to access our waters without our permission and blockade our ports with the permission and encouragement of the EU politicians. If they expect us to obey international law, then they should abide by international law and respect our sovereign rights as an independent country.
The only easy way for hard Brexit or British Independent is United Ireland and independent Scotland then British can join Yankee union.
If NI and Scotland leave the UK, then there are no "British" left. You can then call them English again. Wales doesn't count. With their measly 3 million people, they have no say in UK politics whatsoever. They are just occupied territory.
@@janickpauwels3792 that's the root of the problem for the English, the UK is actually a Bonzai EU, 4 countries where only the English have a say about what's happening, they are used to this for centuries and now suddenly inside the EU they have to make agreements and make a compromise with other countries, that's where taking back control comes from, let's just bully the Nirish, Scotts and Welch ...
Samuel Olaogun And continue on the road to ruin! The world and so many people are utterly bonkers.
Good idea
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The agreement was predicated on the assumption of a trade deal. In the absence of one, it ceases to have a purpose, and we have a right to protect ourselves. This ought to be made clear but instead we get BS saying it is out fault when in fact the EU idea of compromise in a trade deal is that the UK has to simply give way and hand over our territorial waters and anything else the EU wants including a mountain of cash.
Why do people even interview Andrew Bridgen? It's blatantly obvious he just repeats whatever he sees in the Daily Express.
Nice of Bridgen to get dressed up for this.
Honestly, if I wanted to know whats going on with the Brexit deal, channel 4 news would be the last place I'd go to
Indeed
Is it the first when you want to shitpost?
Boris Johnson using the actual oven-ready dish as a PR stunt was quite comical. Mainly because the chef is staring at it as if thinking "He has no idea how much effort has gone into getting it there...". If the UK decides to rip up the withdrawal agreement then it will only show the world that their word is unreliable.
And yet again NI is expendable. 26 + 6 = 1.
Boris should never have signed up to the first EU demands. They were nothing more than Republican demands designed to drive another wedge between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK by making us pay higher customs and be treated as If we are still part of the EU. That means higher cost of living for us as goods coming into Northern Ireland via our main supply route from the UK will cost more. While the rest of the UK will enjoy lower world prices we would be forced to pay higher EU prices. Not good for Northern Irelands low paid workers nore the workers on main land UK who supply us with goods. The EU demands will see job losses all over the UK including Northern Ireland. That shows you how much the EU care.
What you say here is of course true. But if we leave the customs union, which seems to be a key Brexiter objective, we have to have customs controls somewhere, otherwise we haven’t left. So where do you want the border? Seems to me it’s either between NI and Eire or the mainland and NI. What’s the third option? I haven’t heard one.
Coalville some missinformed bloke mansplaning down the pub....
What nonsense - they sell us far much more than we do. And that's why the EU needs the deal? Why do you buy from them? Only because you like them so much? Stupid! Because you need the goods. So who needs whom?
And which country will want to make any agreements with the U.K., after this 4-year long show?
USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and others are lining up now for trade agreements with the UK.
North Korea that’s for sure
There are a lot of agreements ready to go.
Tell me how many FTA does the EU have? Do you know?
Janet D They are? Are they gonna provide you with fresh meat and veggies, and a workforce as well?
Governments who have watched how the EU have behaved.
If no deal is better then a bad deal, and the UK will not be able to get a deal better than we currently have/had, why are the UK still in talks? Is it to put the blame for any mess at the EU's door?
What an arrogant reaction from some Brexiteers, even MP’s who took the agreement in law, about the possible unilateral change to this agreement and law. But I know: it only for the own stage to look brave sticking by their guns (which does’nt excist in reality!).
One sided comment from Fokke, who ignores the fact the EU have reneged on the promise of an FTA, therefore the UK quite rightly can review the whole WA. All you f*ckers on here should look again at history. The EU has a strong track record in not following rules, breaking its own rules, and also reneging on rules. One example of the rebate and CAP. The UK gave up rebate and the EU and France reneged. This is an historical fact. So please all your TOSSERS stop mouthing off and actually do some research.
"The government has been very clear..." 😂😂😂
This is downright nostalgic after news platforms like Channel 4 imposed a news blackout in order to scare us.
Hahaha That's exactly what Barnier did at day one getting a naive Theresa May and Robbins to sign off on the Withdrawel agreement taking care of all EU concerns and even bung them 39 Billion as part of the divorce. Once bitten twice shy. We now know how slanted that agreement was with only vague promises of a Free Trade agreement in the distant future." Sling yer ook" Barnier and the EU. We can agree to disagree and simply part and go our own way as friends and neighbours.
Malachy Clancy Johnson signed the deal🤥
Not much mentioned about the Birmingham knife attacker was it a hate crime or could it be terrorism related once again the story was spiked
it's just not a big enough story, chill
A S Humphrey you seem like a real free thinker
Belgium MEP comments - sad but true. The UK somehow needs to get its head around the fact that days gone by are just that, gone! Does anyone believe that these ex-colonies are going to be so forgiving and enter into sweet trade deals with the UK after the empire spent years pillaging them for its own economic gain?
Realistic people don't believe that. And even if it happened, we'd still be screwing ourselves over!
EU spokesperson: Happy to come on and discuss the issue
UK spokesperson:
Channel 4: Wait, no one will come on?
UK spokesperson:
Channel 4: Really?
UK government, 'taking back control' and too afraid to talk about it!
The British government is doing the only thing it can do under the circumstances, the British public are not willing to sacrifice the sovrenty of the UK becouse of an eu negotiator that has a one track mind, the word obstinate and stubborn comes in to mind, its an attempt to keep the UK looked in to there level Plainfield & under there rule,*sovrenty is knot negotiable.
Lets just walk away and forget about the EU .
Are you living in fantasy land?? The single market is the biggest trading arrangements for the UK. There is no walking away from that.
@@daviddavidson7079 We will thrive without the EU .What are you afraid of ?
you don't understand the consequences of that obviously. WTO rules put a tariff of up to 40% on some goods. The pound in your wages would be worth 30% less overnight. That's on top of the 17% it's already fallen in the last three years and the world sees us as welching on a deal. That's all a tiny fraction.
50% of our trade is with the EU. We can't forget about them. It is not the EU that is holding us it is the trade itself.
@@l1sakr1s *"What are you afraid of ?"* - Bad economics.
is it not the eu that keeps changing the goalposts and threatening great britain,
Nice of Andrew Bridgen to dress up for the occasion. He was probably out chopping wood stockpiling.
What is it that the UK is providing the EU that makes the EU need the UK more than the UK needs the EU? I am asking out of sheer ignorance, so please do not be offended.
Aw, man! I thought this season of Brexit was getting a bit stale, with all the focus that they've put on this wierd sideplot "Covid" that the writors threw in for no real reason, but now the series is really starting to ramp up again. Someone get me more popcorn! =D
Perfect
The phrase “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed” was knocked about from both the EU side and Britain’s side a lot in the last 4 years.... they can’t complain because everything his not been agreed yet as the EU would put it 🤷🏿♂️
So if an Australia type agreement would be good for the UK why are we trying to negotiate a free trade deal?
Bore off m8
So agree we should walk away tomorrow with the Australian type deal. As you imply we've already waisted four years negotiation with these German-run protectionists. Let's have betters live tomorrow.
FYI. Australia type deal is a no deal.
@@rebeccawrongdaily7332 Dream on.🤣🤣🤣😎
You are in the transition period, which ends in 31st of December. Nothing has changed yet.. it will on the 1st of January.
If the people of the U.K. choose to believe Bridgen (if he had a brain cell it would die of loneliness!!) then they will deserve all that is coming to them!!!
great news
Oh my God, the UK is kidding itself big time.
Boris is a Very Beautiful Man.👍🏿🤟🏿🤎👌🏿🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇱

Well, Andrew Bridgend's confidence in Cummings is commendable. The EU was committed to negotiations, tying up loose ends, for the full year of the transition agreement. That they are still there and willing after months of nonsense is a statement of their respect for agreements and honouring their word. Unlike the UK.
Bye bye UK dont let the Door kick you on the way out😂😂😂😂
The normal lies and scare tactics we come to expect from Johnings.....or is it Cumson?
@Sylvia Hollely Why is it that Brexiters can never spell you're the right way?

Wrong. All member states elect MEPs and can veto any law.

England is the greatest country on earth.
The 27 remaining EU member states and all it's 450m people have had it to. Just get out! I can't be bothered with this anymore. Who cares about BoJo and the UKs future problems? You've made your bed, now go lie in it. You'll do fine completely dependent on the US from now on!

Enjoy your decline! Since 2016, intra trade of the EU27 has grown by 8%. UK-EU intra trade by 0% (yes, zero percent). The UK GDP has dropped the most in Europe since CV-19. Oh, yes, the decline has already started and will accelerate as the country loses being part of over *_750_* trade agreements on Jan 1st.
Sasamach now!!
Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
The U.K. Government make every other Government look absolutely on their job and so professional by comparison !

Clause 38 of the Agreement says that UK Parliamentary Law reigns supreme in the treaty so im not sure what the EU or Ireland or the SNP or anyone else for that matter can do about it. Stop whining and suck it up.
Britains wants a good relationship with Europeans not necessarily the European Union
People are human, they make mistakes, when mistakes happen they have to be put right. All Boris is doing is tightening up the agreement in favor of Britain. I expect him to do this as soon as the mistake is recognized. Good on Boris.
Boris Johnson thinks he can use Ireland to force concessions from the EU. An interesting move since through most of the negotiations, the UK acted as though Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland were unimportant side issues. If changes to the withdrawal agreement results in a hard border, Johnson will try to blame the EU for any negative fallout. He is also betting that the EU will do anything to maintain peace in Ireland.
