A Bill to amend the Northern Ireland Protocol will be introduced in Parliament, but there are claims the legislation will break international law
The Financial Times reported that an internal note had been circulating among those against the Bill, which said: "Breaking international law to rip up the Prime Minister's own treaty is damaging to everything the UK and Conservatives stand for."
Unionists in Northern Ireland are vociferously opposed to the international treaty, claiming it has undermined the region's place within the United Kingdom. This could include allowing ministers to remove all customs processes for goods moving within the United Kingdom and enable the frictionless movement of agri-food goods staying within the UK.
He has also said the Government will set out its legal position on the Bill when the legislation is introduced to Parliament on Monday."We will be setting out our legal position on this. She said: "This Government seems to be developing a record for law-breaking and it is not one that the Labour Party can support."
