Michael Gove has said parts of a bill which override provisions in the Brexit deal agreed with the EU would remain, despite EU requests to remove them.
The Cabinet Office minister said he is "committed" to reaching a deal on the UK's future relationship with the EU. He met the European Commission's Maros Sefcovic to discuss the UK's future relationship with the EU on Monday. Mr Sefcovic said the UK's negotiating position is still "far apart from what the EU can accept". Formal trade talks resume on Tuesday. Mr Gove said the talks on implementing the withdrawal agreement are at a "healthy stage". But both sides say there is still disagreement over the UK's plan to override parts of the withdrawal agreement relating to Northern Ireland in a bill currently going through the House of Commons. Speaking after his meeting with Mr Gove, Vice President Mr Sefcovic said there was a "window of opportunity" to come to an agreement on the Northern Ireland protocol, but added that was "rapidly closing". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54318987 |
It would appear the UK are now prepared to offer a major concession so now it is up to the EU to reciprocate yes?

Boris and the Fish. And Farage and the fish. And reality.
https://theconversation.com/fact-che...f-europe-39966 Also look at the comments. Or here: https://www.dw.com/en/uk-fishing-ind...ngs/a-51418061 So you have a new single trade deal with Japan. Another trade deal was and is in existence with the EU. Is your new single deal better than the one Japan has and had with the EU and all its members? Immigration? Did you get the sovereignty back you never lost? Do you stop immigration now? In this other thread about the policeman who has been shot - what has this to do with the EU or brexit as some wrote? So it was or is the EU's fault? Or the penalty, is it not serious enough? Did you change any rule because of being in the EU regarding prison, in the past? Are you changing laws and rules now? Nothing convinced me by now that brexit has brought anything positive yet, but wait and see. |
Far too early to say but I can predict the Tories will be quick to ditch Boris if the house of cards and party public opinion starts to diminish.

Agreed but too late. They should have stopped him before the damage was done:
https://www.dw.com/en/uk-lawmakers-a...tum/a-55098694 The Peers will debate till early December. If the bill passes the House of Lords, the EU should stop negotiations immediately. There is no point trying to come to terms if one side doesn't play by the rules. |
I wonder if my British friends have made any thoughts on what will happen if no agreement is made=hard brexit.
Do they think the life will turn to the good or bad if this should happen ? Markus |

Boris Johnson will speak to the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen on Saturday to "take stock" of post-Brexit trade negotiations and "discuss next steps".
The UK and the EU have been holding their final formal rounds of trade talks in Brussels this week. And chief negotiators Lord David Frost and Michel Barnier met earlier. Both sides have said a deal needs to be agreed this month to take over from the transition period at the start of 2021. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54384437 |

As far as the legal side of things goes, the UK must not worry about the EU calling the courts now. The EU can go as farh as to the EU High Court only and with the UK having brexitted, that court has nothing to tell the UK anymore.
But others take note of the UK not honouring its legal obligations. I am convinced for exmaple that the Japanese would not have signed their deal with the UK, if Johnson's stunt would have been staged before they signed it. These things matter much to Japanese, the formal correctness. Other potential trade deal partners will also think twice about what a piece of paper signed by the UK can mean in relevance and trustworthiness. And a trade deal with the US is in doubts. Which maybe is better for the UK, since the US will pull it over the table. |
Looking at the current time frames we should all know much better pretty soon.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says there is a "good deal to be done" on a post-Brexit trade agreement, ahead of a video call with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Negotiations broke up without agreement and both sides are calling on the other to compromise on key issues, including fishing and government subsidies. Mr Johnson said he wants a deal like one struck between the EU and Canada. He added the relationship the bloc has with Australia "would work well" too. "We're resolved on either course, we're prepared for either course and we'll make it work but it's very much up to our friends and partners," Mr Johnson said. It comes after Mrs von der Leyen called for talks to "intensify", as both sides set an October deadline to settle their differences. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54397942 |
