Alright. Fuck knows why I& #39;m doing this, but I& #39;m going to live tweet tonight& #39;s Commons debate. God help me.
If you& #39;re not interested in in the internal market bill & the end of Britain& #39;s commitment to international law, then for heaven& #39;s sake mute this thread now. Cos this fucker is going to run. Vote will be at 10pm tonight.
This won& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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 & #39;disapply& #39; or & #39;modify& #39; Article 10 of the NI Protocol.
45.2 - regulations won& #39;t be regarded as unlawful on the grounds of incompatibility with international or domestic law.
