Mordaunt: Many have pointed to the fact that the EU has struggled to treat the UK as a sovereign equal in these negotiations, and we must ensure that not just at the end of transition but further down the line our sovereignty is fully protected and restored
Mordaunt: it won't be until negotiations have concluded that the issues around the Protocol that JC and specialised cttee will be able to conclude their work. [asked if the UK wd bring more leg forward which wd disapply aspects of the Protocol]
Mordaunt keeps referring to "negotiations" at JC level; the EU regard the JC as simply implementing what has already been negotiated
Mordaunt: [makes a clear pitch for keeping the IMB clauses as a insurance policy] Says the "ECJ years from now might take a particular view which, unless we are alive to that fact, might open up problems for us".
