Govt is introducing a Bill that (a large number of) its own MPs are saying is going to violate international law.
Bill not dictated by national interest (in fact it undermines it).
Only comes in so that PM will 'shore up his support on Right of the party' after confidence vote

2. Bill will be sold to the MPs on the Right of the party—and Brexiteer voters—wrapped in the usual anti-juridical, anti-European, narrative: "European judges to be stripped of Northern Ireland Protocol powers under new Brexit law"

3. This is the anti-human rights narrative too. Many will confuse 'European judges' for those in Strasbourg. The attack on the European Court of Human Rights is of course alive and well in the UK.

4. While Govt is seeking to distract people with another attack on 'European judges', the real face of Brexit is political turmoil in NI—which the Govt knew was inevitable once Brexit happened, but of course never owned up to the fact.

5. The real face of Brexit is also this 👇

6. "Without the same numbers of Romanians, Poles and Lithuanians ... and the Ukrainians who made up a significant portion of seasonal workers last year, [Jack Pearce, a 3rd-generation farmer in Norfolk] has had no choice but to let about £75,000 of his produce rot".

7. "For the second year since the UK formally left the European Union there are not enough seasonal workers to pick and process the food grown in British fields."

8. "The land army of British workers that was occasionally predicted to replace them has not materialised, nor has the technology."

9. The real face of Brexit is this too:
