Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Problem is, the UK are breaking a signed treaty, at the time we want to be signing new treaties with lots of countries - why should any country trust us to uphold the terms of a treaty, when we are showing we won’t?

The UK is planning new legislation that will override key parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, risking the collapse of trade negotiations with Brussels.
Sections of the internal market bill — due to be published this Wednesday — are expected to “eliminate the legal force of parts of the withdrawal agreement” in areas including state aid and Northern Ireland customs, according to three people familiar with the plans...
..."It is a very blunt instrument,” said one of those familiar with the matter. “The bill will explicitly say the government reserves the right to set its own regime, directly setting up UK law in opposition with obligations under the withdrawal agreement, and in full cognisance that this will breach international law"
