BORIS Johnson has rubbished EU claims he was planning to rip up the Withdrawal Agreement, as a massive war of words exploded over Brexit.
Top EU negotiator Michel Barnier said talks would end if the Withdrawal Agreement - and particularly the Northern Ireland Protocol, which avoids a hard border - were not honoured. The UK/EU group have been meeting regularly all year to hammer out the list, but the UK fears the list will not be ready by the end of the year.
A new law will be published this week that sets out Britain’s position — with No10 arguing it had to come this week in order to get through Parliament by December.BOTH Boris Johnson and Brussels say trade talks are stuck on major issues — state aid, fish and Northern Ireland — but both agree a deal has to be done by next month.
