Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Interesting commentary from the FT's editorial board.
Quote:
At a delicate stage in the Brexit process, Conservatives may be wary of defying the government and exposing themselves to the charge of helping the EU against the UK. But they should reflect on the fate of the US Republican party as it failed, time and again, to check the constitutional excesses of Donald Trump. There is more than a whiff of the Trump approach to dealmaking in this government’s actions.

UK Conservatives are thus facing their Trump moment. This will not be the last time they face such a challenge from a government whose disdain for parliament and process is apparent. If laws can be broken for reasons of inconvenience, which others might the government choose to disregard?

On the other side of the party, the ERG want the government's controversial bill to go even further. Not an easy few weeks for BoJo.
