Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion

Quote from The Sun: BORIS Johnson plans to give British judges the power to overturn EU court rulings in his landmark Brexit bill.
The PM has vowed to ensure Britain “take back control of our laws” with lower courts given the power to ditch European Courts of Justice rulings.
Mr Johnson’s move is set to divide the cabinet when MPs vote on the bill on Friday, The Times reported today.
And Boris' spokesperson confirmed the news earlier.
They said: "The bill will ensure that the Supreme Court is not the only institution able to consider the European Court of Justice rulings.
"This is an important change, which will ensure that we do not face a legal bottleneck and inadvertently stay bound by EU rulings for many years.
"We will take back control of our laws and disentangle ourselves from the EU's legal order, as was promised to the British people."

I've put the Times link in for those who subscribe.
Presumably this would also scupper moves in Brussels regarding the non-appointment of an EU comissioner for the UK.
