Boris Johnson has told MPs he believes the EU may not be negotiating with the UK in good faith.
The PM was explaining why he wants to overwrite parts of the Brexit deal he signed with the EU in January. He said it was to prevent the EU behaving in an "unreasonable" way if the UK fails to agree a trade deal. Pressed by Labour's Hilary Benn on whether he thought the EU was negotiating in good faith, he said: "I don't believe they are." This contradicted Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis, who earlier told MPs he believed the EU was acting in good faith. When that was put to him, Mr Johnson said it was "always possible that I am mistaken and perhaps they will prove my suspicions wrong". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54170397 |

Government plans to amend a controversial bill that overrides sections of the Brexit divorce deal have been rejected by former Tory leader Lord Howard.
The peer said the compromise between No 10 and Tory MPs "isn't enough" for him to back it in the House of Lords. The proposed changes would hand the Commons a say before powers to break international law could be used. MPs will vote on them next week, before the bill heads to the Lords. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54190242 |
Amal Clooney has quit her role as the UK's envoy on press freedom "in dismay" at the government's willingness to break international law over Brexit.
The human rights lawyer said it was "lamentable" for Boris Johnson to be contemplating overriding the Brexit agreement he signed last year. She could not tell others to honour legal obligations when the UK "declares it does not intend to do so itself". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54210658 |

Have to be honest It's hard to keep up with all the information from both parties UK and EU and friends pro and anti EU...
So for me I wait until dec. 31 2020 one minute before midnight to see if an agreement has been reached and the day after to see if there has been a hard exit. Markus |
