What do people in N.Ireland need to know about the #WithdrawalAgreementBill?
(for reasons obvs to folk in NI, I won’t use the acronym 😕).
I gave an interview to @BBCgmu this am, & here are the key points...
TL;DR: Hugely important for NI but ltd. scope & time to affect.

@BBCgmu The Bill puts the #WithdrawalAgmt into domestic law.
📣**REMEMBER: the difference btn this WA & May’s is the Protocol on NI/IRL – so hugely important for N.Ireland **
This Bill sees amendments to the NI Act (1998) to reflect the Protocol. But no new devolved powers per se.

@BBCgmu The last time this WA came to Parl it fell on the matter of the timetable for processing the Bill.
MPs then saw the 3 days allowed for scrutinising the detail & tabling amendments as outrageously tight for such an important bill.
It'll be 3 days this time round too. 🗓️
