Alright. Fuck knows why I'm doing this, but I'm going to live tweet tonight's Commons debate. God help me.

If you're not interested in in the internal market bill & the end of Britain's commitment to international law, then for heaven's sake mute this thread now. Cos this fucker is going to run. Vote will be at 10pm tonight.

This won't be like the old days of Brexit votes. Back then there were knife edge votes and decent amendments passed by seriously smart strategic thinkers. We've got none of that today.

Before I start wittering on about it, can I suggest you follow people like @woodstockjag @ThimontJack @CSBarnard24 @RuthFox01 & @Brigid_Fowler, all of whom know far more abut this kind of stuff than me.

Alright here's the bill. Godawful thing.

The key bit is Part Five, on the Northern Ireland (NI) Protocol, particularly clauses 41, 42, 43 & 45.

Most important clauses are: 43.2 - powers in the bill can 'disapply' or 'modify' Article 10 of the NI Protocol.

45.1 - provisions have effect 'notwithstanding any relevant international law'.

45.2 - regulations won't be regarded as unlawful on the grounds of incompatibility with international or domestic law.
