- A proposed law giving Boris Johnson's government the power to override parts of the Brexit agreement with the EU has passed its first hurdle in the Commons. Subscribe to our channel here: goo.gl/31Q53F
MPs backed the Internal Market Bill by 340 votes to 263.
Ministers say it contains vital safeguards to protect Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, if negotiations on a future trade deal break down.
But critics, including a number of Tory MPs, warned it risks damaging the UK by breaching international law.
Although the government has a majority of 80 in the Commons, it is braced for rebellions in the coming weeks as the legislation receives detailed scrutiny.
Several prominent Conservatives, including former Chancellor Sajid Javid, have said they could not support the final bill unless it is amended, with a number expected to have abstained in Monday's vote.
Political Editor Nick Watt reports and in the studio Emily Maitlis is joined by Conservative MP Sir Roger Gale, who did not vote with the government, Tory Peer Lord Lilley who supports the Internal Market Bill and European Parliament Vice-President Katarina Barley.

Paul Cockram he’s probably a remoaner. So the answer to your question is yes 😂

Acting ‘in good faith’ does not mean putting your revolver on the table and threatening to use it if the negotiations fail,...... utterly deplorable
EU did that first, we are just making sure we can shoot back, just in case
@Rory Quinn The EU's only goal here is maintaining control of the UK by any means possible. But they will fail.
audrey pard nobody forced you to sign the agreement 9 months ago. You did it and now you are not assuming it. That’s just sad.
Also you are saying « UK » first but nobody in NI would agree with you. Therefore when you say « UK » first you mean « english people first » maybe ? Anyway you don’t give a fuck about others.
However I don’t mind, I just can’t wait for the no deal and that you are out so you stop making yourself important.
@Rory Quinn Just have a border between Southern Ireland and the rest of the EU and the internal Irish border can carry on as is, easy peasy.
@Rory Quinn LOL just think about it, the border would only need to operate in one direction that is goods coming from Ireland to the EU and basically just for food and only then because the EU cannot trust Ireland to police itself.
Why are they social distancing I thought it was safe for us common folk to go back to work......
Labour, Libdem, SNP & Green MP's keep crying not wanting to go back to parliament.
@@BroadHobbyProjects so you do want them to catch covid in a cramped parliament
New law 6 people down from 30 a.d wanting your neighbours to grass to police on tour if have anymore in your house or in a park with etc fines from 100 bucks to 3200 are applied! They have to get back the money now they have thrown away through this pandemic someway anyway and being sneaking efforts the Government is top class at that!
Everyone I know who has gone back to work is still required to either social distance or wear PPE, or both.
Because the virus is now endemic. How are you still asking such basic questions.
You know what i want to know. How do the people of North Ireland feel about all this? I mean did we even ask? Does anyone care? Like if N Ireland leaves how will we feel about it? How does any entire country get ignored by rest of UK?
Relatable, here in Wales. Can't fathom how stressful this bill is for NI.
Happy with this.
The government are playing a very dangerous game for us here NI....and might live to regret it.
NI voted to remain in the EU and the majority of parties pleaded to remain in the customs union but have been ignored. England has no concern whatsoever for what is actually in the best interest of NI.
What do you call Brits sitting at a pub table????
A six pack of lies!
The EU insisting on (for example) export declarations was precisely the risk that Brexiteers chose to run in (1) backing Brexit and (2) negotiating in the manner they have. The only reason this mess exists is because of the naive doublethink that the UK could leave the EU but enjoy materially identical benefits - a position that it was obvious from the start the EU could not permit. "No deal is better than a bad deal," anyone?

I expect when this fascist lite regime get round to it.
Then you can have North Korea style news with pro Boris BS 24/7.
@George Stokes. I said fascist lite. A rebranded fascism for the 21st century. Demonise the free press (and the BBC when it dares challenge the ruling elite) Give the people a target to hate.

Stop watching if you don’t like it.
"We run out of time"

The unsolvable riddle at the heart of Brexit - what to do about Ireland/Northern Ireland and avoiding a hard border to avoid a return to the violent bad old days?
Emily needs to let her guest speak but not interrupt
Not when they are lying.
That's the problem isn't it, too many times tories avoid interviewers that will give them a hard time, they love interviewers that will baby them so they don't need to answer the hard questions and they can lie all they want, so people like you can soak up their lies
He was chatting complete and utter nonsense - journalists aren't there to simply give people a platform.
Correct me if I am wrong, I thought this was an insurance policy and will only break international law if it is enacted - note the term "enacted" ? So if you buy a car insurance you would not necessarily use it until you have a crash? so what's the big fuss?
Forgot hour toxic the comment sections get when it's time for Brexit. The lady is holding quotes of colleagues against the Lily guy and she's attacked.
not even just comments sections, its genuinly been shocking just how widespread peoples nasty nature is in this nation. i figured people were stilll racist and sexist and biogoted and didnt give a fuck about laws and rules or anything but themselfs. but the last year has really shone a light on british society.
ive already taken down my union jack, and im sure ill be told to leave if i dont like it. i mean it not like im british or anything, but i would have been had i not already called it. im so disapointed in british folk.
Unbelievably biased commentator, so disappointing and letting down the country - again.
Embarrassing and shameful
I dunno why you brexiteers are so defensive abt it. Just because the anchor attacked your side doesn't mean she didnt attacked the other side just as hard.
That's called journalism. If they only threw out whimpy questions, anyone can do that, why even pay people to do it?
Britain has gone off the rails. Truth and fact is irrelevant now. You're either with us or against us etc etc
Does anyone buy Peter Lilley's line of argument at all? It goes like this, we want to pass this law that allows us to change the Withdrawal Agreement (that was signed by this same sitting Tory Government, and sold by this Prime Minister) when things don't work out the way the UK wants by Dec 31st. So imagine this, the UK's food standards are currently the same as the EU's. But if the UK and the US sign an FTA, and US agri-animal products come into the UK, what would prevent these products from moving to the EU via Northern Ireland and the Republic? Growth hormone US beef, chlorinated chicken, etc. Would it be ok if the EU also add a clause that upon violation of any such import of non-sanctioned agri-products, that the UK will be liable for damages and all costs for removal/withdrawal and restitution to affected parties? Would that be fair?
No. The Eu ate not acting in good faith. They’re scum.
It doesn't matter with how much clarity this MP explains the circumstances in which Clause 38 could be brought into effect. The interviewer continually badgers for a different answer that the MP can just not give. There is no alternative to His answer. The potential circumstance is a very real threat by the EU to put a blockade between Northern Ireland and Britain if there is a no deal. The EU woman when taken to task stumbled her answer in protest to the UK stance on this matter because it is plainly obvious to her to the EU to this interviewer and I suspect to the National community that Great Britain has every right to secure the sovereign integrity of it's internal markets.
Grow up! You are not that important. Nobody is putting a blockade on you. Just fulfill your side of the bargain and move on
As a proud Irishman, normally we would get a slight smile out of seeing England fall from grace. But this. This is just too much.
Lets call it for what it is; English nationalism. No problem has ever been solved that cant be identified.
I take it as a ''proud Irishman,'' you have no problem with me, and others like me being proud Englishmen?
John Day none whatsoever. But let’s call it what it is and celebrate it; it may even amount in that rarest of beast; a win-win
*The Internal Market Bill is a simple statement from the UK to the EU: Don't bulls#**#t** us sonny, We've got a turd in every pocket.*
Trump's not coming bsck as US President to do a trade deal with the UK to send the imported sludge and slurry of cheap and nasty American food and drink across the open Irish border into the EU totally unchecked to breach the single market.
Who the fook wants to eat and drink American based poison anyway.
Burglars complaining about the HOUSEHOLDER installing a burglar alarm. Funny old world.
More like changing the locks without giving your wife the keys.
@@Cheedillow lol
EU BANS BURGER ALARMS.
The burglars here are the U.K. who want to inflict misery on a neighbouring country they have repeatedly burgled for hundreds of years. And want to be treated by the EU as if they were a far away just looking for a trade deal. They are not the same as any other country. The U.K. has responsibilities on the island of Ireland that other countries doing a trade deal with the EU do not have.

You're right she should just sit there and accept the claptrap Lily was spouting before standing up, applauding him and sacrificing a goat in honor of Bojo on camera.
More bull shut from the BBC...
The Withdrawal Agreement is an international treaty subject to the Vienna Convention with jurisdiction by the International Court of Justice. The question whether or not the UK is justified in amending, clarifying, or cancelling the treaty is a matter for the Court. Not a flock of headless chickens.
Glad I’m not English. Would be totally embarrassed if I was.
Vote against this bill then you should lose the whip.
He's got to be careful and keep as many of his MPs on the side, even if they vote against him. That majority is HUGELY important.
It was worth watching just to see the contempt and frustration on Maitlis's face !!
Yes
Imagine if we actually elected people to fix our social and economic issues in 2015 instead of this group of lying, corrupt and greedy charlatans.
WELL DONE BOJO! 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Maitlis should have been sacked ages ago. She is an embarrassment for an International news broadcaster, Burley is nearly as bad!!
You're sounding like Boris. Blame blame blame.

I could be wrong, but I'm sure i heard that Barnier was actually recorded on a BBC programme, saying he was going use the Ireland situation against us
Barley from Köln - give us all a break.
what does GOOD FAITH mean ?
LETS BREAK THE LAW, is that in the treaty ?

Biased BBC reporting as usual
You say they are biased, the left say they are biased
You're saying they are biased coz it doesn't suit your narrative
If the right and left both say BBC is biased that can only mean that the BBC is in the middle
But in all honestly yes I agree they are a bit biased, but definitely not to the left.
@@calvinlimgo in this interview, there was an extreme bias to the EU position. Blatently cutting off a guest several times during his answers, making suggestive coment as fact during questioning. Even the most unbiased independent person, or for that matter a pro remain/EU could not disagree with that if they are truthful.
@@piratescoron hahaha as long as it doesn't suit your narrative they are biased right? As long as you don't hear the things you want to hear they are biased right?
That's how I feel when they interview the left as well.
Oh BTW I'm in the centre. But leaning to the left a bit more
@Mitch haha you're describing the right with your comment
Its not about if the BBC agree or disagree with anyones narrative.
They should be independent and not express any view either way.
The BBC recieveds its funding on the agreement it remains impartial. Therefore it should not use language that implies left of right is right or wrong. Or in this case any othe the three guests
An example of impartiality and misleading by suggestion was; the interviewer stated as if it were fact that the bill would break international law!
That is an incorrect fact. There are many legal experts with differnt legal opinions on this, but this being legal or ilegal can only be established in a court.
That is a clear example of bias. By misleading the viewing publiic stating it is against international law and expert legal experts had said so . Very very wrong and very very dangerous as a supposedly impartial public broadcaster
How can there be good faith after this bill?
Article 38 of the Withdraw Agreement states under Parliamentary sovereignty
"It is recognised that the Parliament of the United Kingdom is sovereign".
@Sean David to me it says that our Parliament has the last word not the EU.
KB speaks English amazingly well!

Frank Birch I think it’s no disadvantage to have people in the Brexit negotiations on the EU side with a sympathetic view and understanding of Britain in general. It is not “us” versus “them” and I think it has never been like that, despite the efforts of some arch Brexiteers to sell it that way
@@Andreas-rm7yc Yes, I agree with you.. Britain will alway be part of Europe, unless the continents start drifting and should be a good neighbour. Level heads are required though. Cheers!
So, the man breaks the contract.... The Irish border put back in place and the breaking of the Good Friday agreement.
The only 'bright side' is that politicians are now forced to be far more wary of public opinion nowadays 🙂.
A dangerous path when one side creates a law that say "when the other side does not what we want, we do what ever we want"
I can assure the guest in the room that the world will see it otherwise. There is a difference between "making it difficult" and "not giving everything away"
I hate the peace in Ireland and hope Scotland leaves the UK.

@@stu1463 if you think the BBC is promoting hard left policies then either you don't know what hard left is or your opinions are so far right that you automatically classify anything you disagree with as hard left.
Maitlis said it is a backstop.......is she changing her stance I doubt it
There cannot be a hard border between the Ireland and the rest of the EU, there cannot be a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, and there cannot be a hard border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Thus Brexit has always been a *mathematical* impossibility, like 2+2 being 22.
Yet, back before being PM, Boris and Nigel convinced a majority of the Brits that 2+2 could be 22, if only they wanted it to be. So the Brits voted for an irrevocable decision that 2+2 shall be 22; and they elected Boris because he promised that he would get it done by the end of that year.
Naturally, neither Boris nor the EU could figure out a way to make 2+2 be 22. But the EU, not wanting to be a party spoiler, agreed with the general idea of 2+2 possibly somehow yielding 22, and gave the UK a generous deadline to come up with a solution.
Naturally, the UK could not find any solution. So Boris is now trying to pass a law that says that 4 shall be 22, explicitly violating all laws of international trade, of the UK, and of mathematics...
Does it matter if the public are on side???? Isn’t that a democracy?
The public are not on side with the government breaking international law.
@Matt T And the REAL public don't want their nation to be shamed by breaking International law. No true patriot could ever want that.
I’m guessing my 6 medals probably would give me the right of calling myself a true patriot. I’m more than happy adjusting a law to stop the EU from manipulating our markets to further their own interests. However, time will tell. I’m sure if it’s very unpopular the conservatives will lose the next election. I’ll keep an Eye 👁 on the polls 👍
@@stu1463 If you're breaking international law then you're working against Britain's best interests. If you're working against Britain's best interests then your not a patriot.
You earned those medals in defence of your nation, that is an honourable thing to do and I hope in future you will defend your nation again. But right now in the present, instead of defending your nation, you are doing the job of those who want to see it suffer and shamed.
I don't say that to show any disrespect to you or your service. I say that because it is the truth. And telling someone the truth, even when they have their head in the sand, is the most respectful thing you can do to a person.
@Matt T Who's assuming? It's not logical to think that the majority of people in a country hate their own country so much that they would want to see it shamed. That is clearly the action of a small group of extremists like you who hate our nation.

The joint committee disputes will be resolved in the European Court
If this is a question of treaty law between the EU and UK, the dispute falls under the Vienna Convention and will be adjudicated by the International Court of Justice.
The EU cannot be both a party to a dispute with a non-member country and also act as judge in that dispute. Fundamental legal principle.
Since when is the EU judge?
Only an Eton education prepares politicians to dissemble at this level.
And by 2:37 minutes, I've given up. A very few MPs arguing amongst themselves, and only to pursue their own pursuit of power.
The EU turned into nothing other than a pursuit of power, and is behaving accordingly now.
Excuse me? Whose side wants to unilaterally change the agreement negotiatiated last year and break International Law in the process? Certainly not the EU
@@edipires15 "side"?
You are clearly a remainer or a citizen of the EU.
As far as I can make out, the majority of the Brit. citizenship are sick and tired of the games being played by both the EU and the UK.
More than 4 years ago they voted to leave the EU, and politicians have ensured this has not happened....
When the electorate voted into power boris (and trump) - it is more than obvious that there is something went very wrong...
But I'm sure you prefer to believe that it is all the fault of anything other than the truth. i.e. the majority finally woke up and realised the current system did not represent them - even slightly.
Liisa KS that’s the problem between you and your government. As far as we in the continent are concerned, we’re through with Brexit, we have other pressing things to worry about (especially a global pandemic). We made an agreement last year, it’s up for both sides to uphold it. If the British government want to unilaterally change it without the EU’s consent, then let’s stop the negotiations and prepare for a no-deal: we’re tired of playing the nice guys, let you guys deal with the consequences of it

You'd prefer a govt. dog, showing obedience. I dread that. Maitlis will ask tough questions and put arguments to interviewees. If she didn't she would be worth nothing.
What's to be impartial about? The UK and the EU agreed on a mechanism to resolve disputes. The UK PM signed it, hailed it as a massive victory, won an election on the back of it and rushed it through parliament at breakneck speed when it might have been blocked. Now the same PM is attempting to distance himself from his own deal. I challenge anyone to find anything I've written which is actually factually incorrect.

Perhaps the Eu response to the bill is just anger because it’s exactly what they were going to do.
My understanding is that this bill gives the commons powers but isn’t a breach of international law until it is enacted.
If we leave without a deal then attempts by Brussels to control our internal market would be a more significant breach of international president than the use of this bill to defend sovereignty

Canada technically broke international law by legalising cannabis.

@@catinthehat906 Canada is in good company with many states in the US doing the same and following good practice in Uruguay and probably more. Their law came before acting upon a number of options to make it fully in line with international law.
In Germany there was never an intention to break international law. Germany was therefor a good faith actor and corrected things afterwards. The UK on the other hand singed the WA with the explicit intend to break the a core factor of the agreement later on in order to get the WA through parliament. That is very simply put untrustworthy which will have serious consequences when trying for instance to get trade agreements.
@@alanandconnielast I think you meant to say English person in stead of British. The Scotts clearly disagree and for the NI folk this spells very dark future (until of course they leave the UK to join Ireland. The Welsh were already in deep trouble by leaving the EU as the EU was a very large investor in Wales.
But for your information: the UK was always a sovereign nation, also when it was a member of the EU.
The unsolvable riddle at the heart of Brexit - what to do about Ireland/Northern Ireland and avoiding a hard border to prevent a return to the violent bad old days?
In the 4 years since the referendum has there ever been a satisfactory answer to the riddle, ever? To discuss the GFA was too difficult because it showed how Brexit was not thought through (and that Leavers never had a plan to win anyway). The “backstop” was promising but clearly was a paradox - how can the UK be out of the EU if a part of it is still in? Along with the loss of UK dominance in lucrative financial services (barely 100 words in the 580 page withdrawal agreement), the riddle of Ireland/Northern Ireland is why Brexit was an unwinnable project for Britain that ignored certain realities. The sums are clearly not adding up now that the details,have to be worked out.
Boris doesn't care........... he will be in London doing his lifelong routine of lying daily and as long his is on power and backstabing even those on his own party. Decades to stop the Bloodsheed, One Boris to reignite the bloodsheed AGAIN.
Well it sounds if EU and UK agree to act in good faith and actually agree how the NI border should be handled. So why haven't we got a deal already?
Nick Barton boris Johnson’s incompetence
Here we go this woman won’t let him answer the question the media in this country is a disgrace
It's not the media, just a woman trying so hard to be tough
BBC propaganda machine at worl again.
Not propaganda but 5 Tory leaders uniting against populist travesty Johnson and his breaking of International Law
@CrouchyTV 51.9% 0r 1.9% either way is marginal and would meet no threshold as required in most sensible countries to account for when this gets difficult and unpopular as it is now. Polls now show 57% wanting to stay in EU. The vote was won on £8m in Russian money via IoM & Banks, illegal use of personal data, illegal campaign collusion, overspending, with a Police investigation halted by this government. Leave told a pack of lies that are all unwound. Johnson got his 43% of the vote because he was opposite Corbyn, not for approval. His personal approval is behind Starmer's.
@CrouchyTV I have been a Press Officer for a major Political Party constituency, so I don't think so. You are a slave to this right wing nationalist nonsense that risks ending in war and will cause a trade war. It is not worth feeling patriotic over
@CrouchyTV Polls have a 2-3% margin for error and have to be right, or their main work, on commercial market research will not be credible. I actually play english and scottish traditional music so I know about culture here. Nasty right wing aggressive nationalism and keeping out workers we need will make us all poorer
@@ParcelOfRogue What about the workers other countries need? Why should we poach their labour.
Definitely need to defund the so called British Broadcast Corporation.
Boring
How biased can a host of a so called impartial media broadcast be... unreal
Richard F So please explain exactly how Newsnight failed to give an accurate report on this latest development. What would you have done differently had you been the programme editor? I'm genuinely interested.
@@clearlake3492 Accurate report perhaps, but there is a clear bias against Boris and his supporters, as shown when the interviewer interrupted boris supporter multiple times, but told him to allow the EU representative to finish i would say there is a clear bias.
just look at her face every time she looks at the guy in support of his party. If that isn’t enough for you to see how she views him and his opinions then no amount of explaining specifics would help you see my point.
@@THEBATTLEXSHOW I have seen only members of Parliament. Some opposed to break an international treaty other favour to break an international treaty.
@@TorianTammas The media has continued to be bias towards Boris and his supporters, if you are failing to see the difference in treatment between the groups then you need to pay more attention.
Boris doing it for Britain.
I think he's doing it for England, definitely not for the UK
@@calvinlimgo Well, if the Irish, Welsh and Scottish governments want to complain and rant about their independence, then fuck 'em.
Jynxed Koma - the break up of GB looks increasingly likely at this rate. And you nobs voted for this! God help us all
Boris is shaming Britain. No true patriot can want to break international law and bring shame upon their nation.
Thank god, imagine anyone defending the EU threatening to cut food imports from Britain to Northern Ireland.
As Ed pointed out, it really doesnt do that. Another lie.
@@iman2341 "Under the terms of the deal export of "products of animal origin" such as meat, fish, shellfish, eggs and dairy from the UK mainland over to Northern Ireland will become subject to EU oversight.
The EU has a “Third Country” list of approved third parties that can legally import agricultural goods into areas subject to their rules.
The UK being put on that approved list was assumed to be a given and not subject to negotiation, but Brits were left seething after Michel Barnier’s team hinted the UK may not be given that legal status if talks collapse.
In a No Deal scenario it left open the chance that the EU could declare food exports from Great Britain to Northern Ireland illegal."

Stevio Gaming You’ve just copied the same comment. What you say may well be true but the problem is that the government signed off on the withdrawal agreement last year, if they had a problem it should’ve been raised then but it seems in their haste to get it finished they missed the possibility of this current situation developing. I don’t want to take sides on this but the fact the UK government missed this is not the EUs fault...
Imaging GB exporting food TO Ireland :)
Why would anyone seek a trade agreement=international agreement with someone who breaks another international agreement? Answer: No one will. Seem UK get it´s well deserved No Deal.

hitman777100 okay, so you will just carry on harassing any person with a different opinion?
Boris made a very clear and rationale explanation. Ed Miliband’s reply was just too painfully silly to sit through. No wonder Labour lost the general election. As for the BBC, they bring forth objector after objector after objector. No attempt at presenting an equal number of proponents. I used to be so proud of the BBC, say twenty years ago. What a sorry state they are now. Doesn’t the BBC realize that the majority of the British people voted for Boris and want our country to do well under him. This constant unequal bias against him by the BBC is just so irritating. Wouldn’t it be nice if our main broadcaster could talk our leaders up a bit and make us feel good about our country.
When I hear Boris stating that the deal is a bad one and it's the reason they're breaching it now my main question is :
Why did you sign it in the first place ? Either he's unsuited for the job because he doesn't have the qualification, either he's deliberately misleading and lying to the people.
Both.
If it was a wonderful deal then, how can it suddenly be a terrible one now?
He even did himself an injury in Downing Street celebrating it.
FTSE 100 up tormorrow then
Johnson will prevail....
You do understand he’s not Churchill and this isn’t the war? Bojos face said it all when Miliband (A guy who can’t eat a sandwich) handed him his ass on a plate.. I’m not a lefty but Jesus..wake up!
What does 'prevail' mean? He may wine votes but he is a hopeless leader! Try getting a covid test.
Shameful. Our own government is shaming our nation.
Yep he'll line his, all his chums and dodgy backers pockets with money. Our nation will suffer, but it's ok you feel like a winner. Ffs project fear is and never was a leftist agenda, it was the obvious reality. Bojo is a lazy chancer and you hail him as great. He's a incompetent man and we're desending into chaos.

Bye bye act of Union. English law cannot be forced on Scotland under the treaty of union.
That means not only is this a breach of international law but it is a breaking of the union too. Scottish legal experts have said this.
I now expect the referendum the SNP promised to come as soon as this law passes the HoL. And no theres no need for a section 30 either!!!
Key point : Brexit promised something they cannot deliver and are already looking for a way to blame the EU.
A convenient scapegoat for a party that underestimated the challenges and undersold the public.
The unspoken aspect is that NI will be reincorporated into Ireland if the English don’t sort out the mess they made. That’s what the GFA is based on - so in this and all the brexit talks is also the end of the peace agreement in NI.
Scotland is already guaranteed to become independent.
