Just to check I understand what you’re saying - the UK isn’t breaking a treaty, it’s only threatening to break a treaty if it doesn’t get what it wants?
What happens if it doesn’t get what it wants?

Then it’s either bluffing, or it breaks a treaty. Either way, that’s not what they’re doing right now.
In fact, el gov is trying to clarify things this morning (apparently the weekend press was a leak) - they claim they’re trying to close a legal loophole that would exist in the event of No Deal, as the joint U.K./EU supervisory committee that seeks to ensure the WA is adhered to, would automatically cease to exist in those circumstances.
