Looks like Brexit was worth it in the end..

Boris Johnson has urged Conservative MPs to back his plan to override part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.

In a Zoom call with about 250 of them, he said the party must not return to "miserable squabbling" over Europe.

The EU has warned the UK it could face legal action if it does not ditch controversial elements of the Internal Market Bill by the end of the month.

And a Tory MP has proposed an amendment to the bill, which would affect trade between Britain and Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile, the European Parliament has threatened to scupper any UK-EU trade deal if the bill becomes UK law.

Why all this squabbling all the time.  If this can be achieved easily, then why not a deal with us? It seems like the EU are bent on making life difficult for us.

"Mr Johnson added that he would not countenance "the threat of a border down the Irish Sea".

"But he said there was still a "very good chance" of the UK and EU striking a deal by mid-October similar to that previously agreed between the EU and Canada - which got rid of most, but not all, tariffs on goods."

I think the reason why they are making it so hard is so that other countries will think twice about leaving. I'm sure there are some waiting to see how Britain fares, then there may be an avalanche.

Good point.

Not forgetting that if there is no deal the EU will legally have almost full control over our sovereignty

The EU has begun legal proceedings against the UK over its plans to override sections of the Brexit divorce deal it signed in January.

It comes after an EU request for the government to remove controversial sections of the Internal Market Bill passed on Wednesday.

The "letter of formal notice" could lead to a court case against the government at the EU's top court.

It comes as trade talks between the two continue in Brussels.

More taxpayers money being wasted..!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Should Boris back down?

No!!!!!!!

The UK has upset the EU again, they've made a fishing agreement with Norway

France publicly threatened to veto a 'bad' Brexit deal today as negotiations teeter on the brink of collapse.

Paris has emerged as the major obstacle to a pact amid warnings that just 48 hours are left to break the bitter deadlock over fishing rights and level playing field rules.

However, with confusion mounting there are also claims from Brussels that a deal is 'imminent' and the UK side is sounding negative in an effort to extract concessions. Government sources told MailOnline the briefing about an agreement being almost done was 'rubbish'.

Will the frogs allow us to fish in our own waters I wonder

The French will still be able to fish in EU waters as will all the other EU members, we wont.
