5xy - "The IM Bill is no get out of jail card, Mr Habib claimed. The WA needs to go, the UK has to repudiate it to be free of it."

Agreed, the EU have made it abundantly clear that there is no other course to take.

So where does the Brexit Party go next? Well I think everyone agrees this will only become clear when the current Brexit negotiations are completed. Almost laughable is the current pantomime of brinkmanship we see being played out. Of course this is the EU form of negotiation and we have learned the hard way that you have to fight 'like with like!' When eventually, and it may even be later than the October the 15th deadline where we have an agreement or we walk away, the Brexit Party, which is in the wings and waiting, will either redeploy or rebrand. Often on social media, the critics of Nigel are keen to label him as irrelevant.  How so wrong they are!  Boris Johnson is well aware of the clear and present danger of a Brexit Party redeployment in the eventuality of a BRINO deal with the EU. Any blink by the Prime Minister will, overnight, turn his eighty seat majority into a fragile position! Yesterday Nigel Farage issued a tweet that reminded the Prime Minister he is watching the Brexit negotiations with interest: "The withdrawal agreement as it stands is not the Brexit we fought for. Boris misled us but is now trying to make amends. MPs who vote for Brexit in name only will see campaigns launched against them in their seats." It immediately caught the attention of those monitoring the parliamentary debate and made people wonder, what next? Farage has brilliantly reminded the PM of the danger of straying off course with his almost single-handed campaign of the dangers of illegal channel crossings. Farage forced this issue into the mainstream media and had our Secretary of State, Priti Patel, running around humiliated as she tried to report belatedly on the disgraceful situation she had allowed on her watch. As mentioned, Farage usually reads the landscape well and here he showed how influential and dangerous he is to the Conservatives – especially should Boris renege over Brexit. ....Full article...

What's wrong with the Withdrawal Agreement? Ben Habib explainsSeptember 15, 2020IN THIS SHORT INTERVIEW Brexit-watch.org Chairman Ben Habib lays out the case against the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and the deficiencies of the Internal Market Bill (IM Bill) to Jonathan Saxty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoELs_3RSEE Article 4 of the WA requires UK courts to set aside domestic legislation if it conflicts with the WA, while the IM Bill requires UK courts to set aside terms of the WA if they conflict with domestic law. There are thus opposing forces. Mr Habib explained his is concern that during the Transition Period the ultimate supreme legal body in such matters remains the Court of Justice of the European Union, so if the European Commission brings an action against the UK to perform the Northern Irish Protocol (NIP) and prevent the IM Bill coming into force, it will be the sole determiner.  Even if this case goes on outside the Transition Period and the ECJ is not the supreme legal body anymore, the ECJ could still bring a case in UK courts and could appeal all the way to the UK Supreme Court. The Supreme Court might find in favour of the EU. The IM Bill is no get out of jail card, Mr Habib claimed. The WA needs to go, the UK has to repudiate it to be free of it. You can view other interviews and subscribe to our brexit-watch YouTube channel here.   Subscribe to our daily tea-time newsletter here,
