You have to wonder what is the UK Governments end game here... By breaking or threatening to break agreements made by the Government itself less than 4 months ago is not a good look internationally. Dominic Raab is currently criticising China for not honouring their treaties regarding Hong Kong while at home, there seems to be a will to break our treaty with the EU.

I can see three possible reasons for the approach being taken;

Theatrics for political reasons - the EU don't like the taste of British steel and we quietly roll back later
The treaty does not get signed off by the EU Parliament making the EU to blame for 'no deal'
The EU makes good on its' threat to launch a legal dispute making the EU bullies

As ever, there is a strange situation where we are Great Brtian and don't you forget it, while simultaneously being bullied by the EU

My biggest concern is that it seems that actions taken which look good in the pages of The Telegraph, Mail and Express may not look so good internationally. Or, to put it on a closer to home example, you know that a plumber ripped off your neighbour, would you hire him?
