The Internal Market Bill and the Brexit Trilemma.

Post by bindeweede »

A new article from Jon Worth on the mess the UK Government has got itself into with the The Internal Market Bill.
You would not hear a Brexiter explain it as such, but essentially the response of Redwood, Johnson, Hannan and their ilk to the accusation that the Internal Market Bill is breaking international law is “So what? If we even entertain that debate, that means we have to acknowledge the trade offs implicit in Brexit. And we would sooner not acknowledge there are even any for a while longer yet.” And whoever it is trying to deliver that message that it is time for responsible decisions – be it the House of Lords or Biden or Coveney or von der Leyen – Brexiters sure do not want to hear it.

And all of that – with time running out towards the end of 2020 and the end of the transition period – only leads towards one outcome: No Deal.
