It& #39;s important to be precise about the exact implications of this, in the context of the Internal Market Bill.

Reminder that the Bill *does* break international law and breach the Protocol, but it *does not*, *in of itself*, create a hard land border or violate the GFA https://twitter.com/DarranMarshall/status/1310660399004516353">https://twitter.com/DarranMar...

In terms of the latter two the risk is not so much the Internal Market Bill but the upcoming Finance Bill - which again wouldn& #39;t *directly* create a hard border or violate the GFA but *could* lead to a chain of events where this becomes the case.

Nevertheless, the fact this comes from the Trump administration is a useful reminder for HMG that it isn& #39;t just Democrats in the US who care about Northern Ireland....
