Incredible admission by leadingTory Brexiteer Steve Baker. They were told to vote for WA without reading it “on the basis Michael Gove articulated: we could change it later”.
So they voted for it. And now discover there will be an border in the Irish Sea.

And Michael Gove is the man Boris Johnson appointed to be the UK representative on the Joint Committee — to implement the Irish sea border. This week the gov finally admitted that there will be checks at the border.
It goes without saying such reports from a senior well-connected Brexiteer will fuel EU fears that the UK government can’t be trusted. And as the EU always has, they will press for strong legal guarantees/safeguards in the future relationship.
