hernando - difficult subject - but you can not be half pregnant.

Talking to a friend today on the South coast telling me that recent weeks have been total chaos with zero discipline. Not acceptable either.

Today: Internal Market Bill returns to committee before tomorrow's votes; anger from Unionists over threats from Brussels and Washington to GFA; Liz Truss starts second round of trade talks with Australia.Internal Market Bill returns to committee stage: The Internal Market Bill resumes at committee stage this afternoon, with a focus on the most controversial part - the Northern Ireland Protocol, before debates continue tomorrow, with a vote expected on the Sir Bob Neill amendment. This amendment would impose a "parliamentary lock" on any changes to the Withdrawal Agreement, giving Parliament the final say on whether it is appropriate to renege on the treaty.The UK's internal market was created in 1707, following the Treaty of Union, to ensure "open and unhindered trade" across the four nations. However when the UK joined the then-EEC in 1973, much of British Trade law was replaced by European law. With EU member states regarded as one single territory, the bloc devised rules about everything from food standards to fisheries to ensure consistency. The Internal Market Bill is the proposed replacement, aiming to ensure all four of the UK's home nations are not limited by regulations devised by the devolved governments and to guarantee that international trade deals will apply to the UK as a whole, with the same regulations and standards throughout. Northern Ireland poses a dilemma due to its shared border with the EU state of Ireland. Unionists speak out over threat to GFA: Northern Ireland Assembly Member, Steve Aiken MLA has claimed that recent comments from Dublin, Brussels and Washington are "in danger of pulling the Belfast Agreement apart in the Brexit negotiations"."The continuing commentary from Dublin, Brussels and Washington demonstrates either extreme naivety about the Belfast Agreement or else deliberate manipulation to sustain partisan pro-united Ireland positions which will do long term damage to relationships across these islands and particularly within Northern Ireland." said Mr Aiken, continuing:"It`s as if the Belfast Agreement only refers to one community within Northern Ireland and fundamentally ignores the imposition of a border down the Irish Sea – an internal border within a sovereign country."Mr Aiken went on to slam Ursula von der Leyen, saying: "The irony of the President of the EU talking in her speech last week about EU member states that 'can always count on Europe's full solidarity on protecting their legitimate sovereignty rights' at the same time as ignoring the legitimate rights of the people of Northern Ireland to have unfettered access to the rest of our own country is extraordinary."President von der Leyen would be well advised to read the Belfast Agreement especially this part: '...the present wish of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland, freely exercised and legitimate, is to maintain the Union and, accordingly, that Northern Ireland's status as part of the United Kingdom reflects and relies upon that wish; and that it would be wrong to make any change in the status of Northern Ireland save with the consent of a majority of its people...'"A UK government spokesperson said: "The UK Government's top priority is to protect the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement and gains of the peace process. Our approach is at all times guided by these priorities."UK law must take precedence: Barrister Martin Howe QC sets out for Politea an explanation for why UK law must prevail over the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement. Emphasising the importance of the constitutional foundations of the UK and the key status of the unified single internal market, he explains how detrimental it would be in both economic and political terms for them to be undermined or restricted.Sir Bill Cash MP, writes for Conservative Home, expressing his views on why the UK would be well within their rights to over-ride the Withdrawal Agreement, saying: "The Withdrawal Agreement was written on the basis of recognising our sovereignty – which has not happened. This UK Internal Market Bill is a necessary insurance policy preventing us from subjection to EU jurisdiction, and ensures the necessary competitiveness upon which the jobs and businesses of every voter in every constituency depends, with our own state aid rules."Sir Bill also looks at the EU's own frequent violations of International law, and the track-record of certain EU member states in that area.Liz Truss back at the talks table: International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss, will meet Australia today for Round Two of the FTA talks. The UK is due to table texts and to focus talks on areas such as food and drink, financial services and digital, date and telecoms sectors.The Trades Union Congress (TUC), Australian Council of Trade Unions and New Zealand Council of Trade Unions published a joint statement ahead of the negotiations, calling for workers' rights to be prioritised in discussions.Meanwhile, the Telegraph writes that Liz Truss is ready to rip up the Trade Department's rule books on assessing deals in a bid to improve how it measures the economic benefits of its post-Brexit "Global Britain" project. The Trade Secretary has drafted in a team of experts, to overhaul the department's models, including Tony Venables, an economics professor at Oxford University, Graham Gudgin of Cambridge University, Swati Dhingra of the London School of Economics, Michael Plummer of John Hopkins University and Christine McDaniel of George Mason University.Ms Truss said: "Better modelling will help us capture the full benefits of free trade agreements and strike British-shaped deals that suit our economy and deliver for the whole country."For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Italy Spain and France locked down harder than Britain, they used the police to enforce these lockdowns with (for Britain), the use of unacceptable force.

We don’t really want that in our country i would say.

[alphorn] 21/9/2020 15:39

max - the last two sentences really sum up the cultural differences on each side of the Channel.

[daddy warbucks] 21/9/2020 15:25

Let's hope the death rate stays low. I thought it lagged behind new case numbers by three weeks or so.

[careful] 21/9/2020 15:21

..assuming numbers double every week.
yet again utter tosh from so called experts.

[maxk] 21/9/2020 15:13

Professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance have laid the ground for a second lockdown, warning that without further measures the UK will see 50,000 cases a day by mid-October....

[mitchy] 21/9/2020 14:51

In the end people are just going to revolt against another lockdown if their homes and businesses are at risk.. The NHS seem to have got a handle on effective treatments now as the death rates are staying low and aren't mirroring the increased new case numbers. Most businesses have installed protection for their staff and public so they can go on trading.
Lets hope the government see sense..!

Damn !

Health chiefs react with dismay as Dido Harding is suggested as possible candidate for NHS top job

Baroness Harding is thought to be the favourite to replace Sir Simon Stevens despite her controversial leadership of Test and Trace

Health leaders have reacted with dismay to suggestions that the head of the Test and Trace programme may be appointed chief executive of the NHS next year.

According to reports, Sir Simon Stevens is poised to step down as head of the NHS next spring, with Baroness Dido Harding among the favourites to replace him.

It comes despite criticism of Baroness Harding’s leadership of NHS Test and Trace, which has descended into crisis in recent weeks with a shortage of tests at coronavirus hotspots across the country.
