Not sure what you're on about but if a government minister concedes it breaks international law, I can't see any motivation for them to lie about it.

Civil servants pride themselves on being apolitical and have worked hard to deliver Brexit, regardlessof their feelings one way or the other. Those I've met have actually been largely pro Brexit due to the career opportunities it's opened up.
Slurring a senior civil servant as a Remainer because he takes a stand on being asked to undermine or potentially break an international treaty is lazy, desperate or probably both.
Let's see how this plays out. It's not a good omen.
Civil Servants used to be independent, but these days, too many of them don't know the meaning of the word. That's precisely why we are seeing the start of a clearout. Long overdue, too.

What exactly is meant to be breaking international law?
Everybody is a bit short on specifics.
The old backstop provisions had that it remained in place unless and until the EU agreed to otherwise. A similar situation arises with the new agreement. If the EU side of the Joint committee don't agree on anything, then everything is blocked.

So he got us the crap agreement,no wonder he's jumped ship now it's under review.

I think you are on the right lines, nomadking. If we ignored the treaty or did not abide by it there would be a case to answer, because the treaty remains in effect after the Withdrawal Agreement ends regardless of the outcome of negotiations.

We haven't seen the detail yet, but it seems that all they are doing is tying up some loose ends.

Exactly what I thought until today's surprise resignation. You don't resign over a tidying-up exercise.

Yea sounds like he made a right balls up of the agreement or he wrote it to favour the EU.
