Maybe Barnier saying we must abide and the ECJ must have jurisdiction over any trade deal?
Maybe Macron demanding 25 years’ fishing rights as the price of getting a deal?
Maybe the perfidious Varadkar and his similar utterings?

That hasn’t changed since October - the EU have been saying it for years...
From May 2018
Quote:
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, today warned the U.K. that it must accept the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in order to achieve a successful withdrawal treaty and transition period when leaving the EU.
“We cannot accept that a jurisdiction other that the Court of Justice of the European Union determines the law and imposes its interpretation on the institutions of the Union,” Barnier said in prepared remarks at a meeting of EU law experts in Lisbon.
