It's surely either we had no intention on ever following through on the mutually agreed political declaration which doesn't bode well for future negotiations or circumstances have changed.
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.
