MPs will have their first opportunity later on Monday to vote on the bill. The foreign secretary,, has put the UK on a collision course with the EU by pressing ahead with the legislation, which will allow ministers to override parts of the agreement Johnson signed in 2019.
“We are moving forward with legislation to fix the specific problems that the protocol is causing while maintaining those parts that are working. This is both necessary and legal. All other options within the current EU mandate are currently exhausted,” she said. The EU has suggested repeatedly that its own proposals would resolve many of the worst delays at the Irish Sea border, accusing the UK of failing to engage with these properly.Speaking on Sunday, the EU ambassador to the UK, João Vale de Almeida, called Truss’s legislation “illegal and unrealistic”. The EU has hit back by restarting legal action against the UK over the protocol.
The DUP has refused to take part in power-sharing at Stormont unless the issue of the protocol is resolved – though it is unclear whether the bill will satisfy the party’s demands.
