Amal Clooney quits UK envoy role over 'lamentable' international law breach

Amal Clooney has quit as a special envoy for the United Kingdom on media freedom over the British government's threat to renege on the Brexit deal it signed with the European Union less than 12 months ago.

The human rights lawyer with London's Doughty Street Chambers – which represents Julian Assange – said she had waited to discuss the matter with Raab directly before quitting, but had had "no alternative to resign" having received "no assurance that any change of position is imminent".

"It threatens to embolden autocratic regimes that violate international law with devastating consequences all over the world."

Who? Send her over to the Democrats to get a 'feel for things'. Sure Biden would oblige.

Brexit was always fundamentally impossible on the terms they wanted with the Good Friday Agreement. They have to accept it. Peace trade 'Britain fears the Withdrawal Agreement gives the EU powers over Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK and shares a border with Ireland.'
