Best tell BJ, David Frost, and the Centre for Brexit Policy that, then...

The WA in effect amounts to a ‘poison pill’ for the UK’s future relationship with the EU, giving power to the EU and encroaching on UK sovereignty:
• The Northern Ireland Protocol (the Protocol) would
– Restrict UK competitiveness through dynamically evolving EU State aid law that grants the European Commission executive power over significant parts of UK fiscal policy, subject to exclusive oversight of the ECJ
– Render Northern Ireland (NI) businesses completely unprotected from EU anticompetitive behaviour (including NI operations of UK-wide businesses)
– Create burdensome EU customs mechanisms at an East-West Irish Sea border
– Impose new checks on all agri-food imports into NI
– Require NI to enforce EU VAT regulations
Over time, the cumulative effect of the Protocol woul, if allowed to become permanent, realign NI away from the UK’s single market and towards the EU’s Single Market
• Other aspects of the WA would have similar injurious effects:
– EU citizens’ rights could be instilled that have ‘direct effect’ overriding future Acts of Parliament, coupled with European Court of Justice (ECJ) binding interpretation
– ‘Divorce payment’ liabilities that are vastly greater than the zero UK obligation under international law, coupled with ECJ binding adjudication
– Future financial liabilities that are very large associated with the UK’s membership of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and participation in other funds
– EU data protection laws entrenched for the long-term under the guise of EU citizens rights
– EU Geographical Indications of Origin entrenched to the detriment of UK trade
agreements with non-EU countries
– Provisions relating to UK sovereign bases in Cyprus and Gibraltar, as well as other matters that encroach on UK sovereignty
