Tory Gov weaponised article 16 - committee hearing reveals all (27.04.22)
Channel: UK Parliament focus
Date: 2022-05-01

Law Officer resigns over Downing Street’s intention to override the EU withdrawal agreement & breach international law.
Gov to use clauses in UK Internal Market Bill to trigger article 16 and breach Brexit contract. The advocate general Lord Keens resignation has been over shadowed by the pandemic and partygate...until now.
Unbelievable meeting where ministers are faced with the lawlessness of the Tory government from its own law maker/officer.
