The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS), Centre for Public Law (CPL) and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (LCIL) warmly invite you to an online Rapid Response Seminar on the UK Internal Market Bill. The United Kingdom Internal Market Bill 2019-21 was introduced on 9 September 2020 and contained what observers have called constitutional dynamite and the newspapers described as ‘Britannia waives the rules.’ Ministers have alternatively called it ‘his does break international law in a specific and limited way’ or justified it as a reaction to a material breach by the EU to the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland/Ireland Protocol. A detailed provision authorising Ministers (possibly with consent of Parliament) to breach international law and preventing access to the courts is unprecedented. The three Research Centres of the Faculty of Law have joined forces to analyse three aspects of the UK Internal Market Bill in a rapid response seminar. Experts on EU law, international law and public law will jointly discuss different aspects of the introduction, passage and potential consequences of the Bill. While the content of the Bill and the rules governing the internal market are equally controversial, these will be discussed in detail in November during an academic CELS seminar. The rapid response given by members of the three research centres is designed to bring different legal perspectives together and provide expert opinions on this new legislation from diverse points of view. It will allow enough time for an online Q&A, so please submit your questions through the chat.

Borders is borders? Impact from the EU’s aborted triggering of Article 16 of the NI Protocol continues to reverberate. Could the UK government really use this episode to tear up their own border agreement? Special guest Tony Connelly, RTE’s Europe Editor and co-presenter of the Brexit Republic Podcast, joins us to explain the Byzantine nature of the Border Protocol.

Following the UK Government's success in passing the controversial Internal Market Bill through Westminster in the face of opposition in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the future of the UK is again under the microscope. With Scotland nearing the exit and this UK Government seemingly intent on re-centralising power in London, the British Labour Party are launching a constitutional convention, which the Welsh party has been championing for years. Will it lead to anything substantial and could it ever be enough to improve the UK so that it persuades Scotland to decline independence? To discuss with us are Mick Antoniw MS, trade unionist Harriet Protheroe-Soltani and Ben Gwalchmai of Labour for an Independent Wales.

Conversion Campaign   Today’s show begins with Brexit and ends with a Conversion Campaign.  We effectively segue neatly through the topics making it a single connected conversation.  On the way we mention issues raised in articles by Peter A Bell,  Jo Cherry and Iain Lawson.   You can’t leave the club and keep the privileges;    making a U-turn may not be that painful;   Welsh Labour have shamed BLiS (viz Iain Murray) and led the way for a legal challenge of the Internal Market Bill which gives Lord Advocate James Wolfe a quandary in Scotland;   Iain Lawson challenges the SNP old guard especially those on wages and reminds us of the failure of the 2017 campaign.

Imní faoi mhargadh anois i gcainteanna Brexit. Officials from the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) are continuing their talks tonight in a bid to reach a deal in the Brexit talks. Tá feidhmeannaigh ón Aontas Eorpach (AE) agus ón Ríocht Aontaithe (RA) ag leanacht lena gcainteanna anocht féachaint le theacht ar mhargadh sna cainteanna Breatimeachta. Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said there was despair at the moment. Dúirt an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha,Simon Coveney go bhfuil éadóchas le brath faoi láthair. There could be poor pressure at various ports in Britain and Ireland in the event of a Brexit without a market. Dfheadfadh brú bocht a bheith ann ag calafoirt éagsúla sa Bhreatain agus in Éirinn i gcás Brexit gan mhargadh Bhí sé ag tagairt don méid atá ráite roimhe seo ag Príomh Idirghabhálaí an AE, Michel Barnier. Mr Barnier said he was not overly optimistic that a deal could be made with the UK. Dúirt an tUasal Barnier nach raibh sé féin ró-dhóchasach go bhféadfaí margadh a dhéanamh leis an RA. 'We have to settle for Brexit by Wednesday, or the European Commission will go ahead with plans on the basis that there will be no market,' he said. Caithfidh socrú a bheith againn ar an mBreatimeacht faoin gCéadaoin, nó gabhfaidh an Coimisiún Eorpach ar aghaidh le pleananna ar an mbunús nach mbeidh margadh a dúirt sé. The Taoiseach said that these talks are clearly 'very challenging'. Dúirt an Taoiseach gur léir go bhfuil na cainteanna seo thar a bheith dúshlánach. In the evening, the British Government has announced that the controversial provisions relating to Northern Ireland will be withdrawn in the Internal Market Bill if they reach a settlement on free trade. Tráthnóna tá Rialtas na Breataine tar éis a rá go dtarraingeofar siar na forálacha conspóideacha a bhaineann le Tuaisceart Éireann, sa Bhille faoin Margadh Inmheánach má thagann siad ar réiteach faoin saor-thradáil. Earlier today, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said she believed that a bargain could always be made, and that no one wanted Brexit without a market and 'job losses and the other negative implications that go with it'. Níos túisce inniu, dúirt ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald go gcreideann sise gur féidir margadh a dhéanamh i gcónaí, agus nár theastaigh ó aon duine Brexit duireasa margaidh agus cailliúint postanna agus na himpleachtaí diúltacha eile a théann leis. Mairéad McGuinness expects a lease of hope in the evening Deputy McDonald said that 'Britain with Claire Byrne' is currently on Britain's 'political breakdown in connection with the Brexit talks'. Mairéad McGuinness ag súil go mbeidh léas dóchais éigin ann tráthnóna Dúirt an Teachta McDonald go bhfuil bruachaireacht pholaitiúil ar bun ag an Bhreatain faoi láthair i dtaca leis na cainteanna Breatimeachta ar an gclár raidió de chuid RTÉ, Today with Claire Byrne. On the same program, EU Commissioner for Ireland MEP Mairéad McGuinness (FG) said there will be no winners no matter what happens, whether there is a market or not. Ar an gclár céanna, dúirt an Coimisinéir Éireannach san AE, An Feisire Eorpach Mairéad McGuinness (FG) nach mbeidh aon bhuaiteoirí ann is cuma céard a tharlaíonn, bíodh margadh ann nó ná bíodh. 'I don't think the British understood the full implications of Brexit when a majority of them voted to leave the EU in 2016,' she said. Ní dóigh liom gur thuig na Breatainigh na himpleachtaí iomlána i dtaca le Brexit nuair a vótáil a bhformhór ar an AE a fhágáil i 2016 a dúirt sí. Ursula Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (left) and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson 'Britain cannot fully find its own way in these talks, and it must understand that,' she added.

he big story in indy circles this week has been the stooshie over the name for the grass roots indy group set up after the AUOB online conference and the composition of its newly elected committee.  Was calling it Yes Alba a serious misjudgement and was it right to label the committee as " male , pale and stale"? Last night saw ,yet another, series of votes on Brexit.This time on the Lords' amendments to the Internal Market Bill.  The deadline for getting some sort of trade deal with the EU is also looming. We try and work out what significance these recent events have in terms of Boris Johnson's premiership, devolution, and independence. State aid rules are one of the sticking points in these final days of Brexit negotiations and these were brought into sharp focus by the announcement that BiFab was going into administration with claims by both the Scottish and UK governments that EU state aid rules had scuppered any moves to save it. Lesley examines those assertions and questions the will of the Scottish government to intervene by taking the firm into state control. All this plus a wee tribute to a bonnie fechter for Scottish independence Craig Munro, Peter Alliss,and other lost voices  of radio.

"The prospect of an agreement between the UK and EU over a trade deal, and the additional conditions that accompany it remains in the balance. A spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed yesterday that the UK’s position over the Internal Market Bill remains unchanged. This could be a supplementary stumbling block even if agreement over the other outstanding issues is reached. When it was passed by Parliament recently the Bill was labelled by Brussels as being in contravention of the agreement that is already in place. Since the Bill was put in place to provide clarity in what happens over the passage of goods between the Mainland and Northern Ireland in the event of no trade deal being agreed, it will become moot, only if an agreement is reached. Monday's combination of a weakening dollar and almost a sense of euphoria over Brexit led the pound into waters that have not been visited for some considerable time. The last time the pound closed above 1.34 versus the dollar was almost a year ago and was in response to the result of the General Election.

This week, Michael speaks to Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Duncan of Springbank. Before resigning from the Government in 2019, Lord Duncan served as the Minister for Climate Change in Boris Johnson's Government. Prior to this, he was both the Undersecretary of State for Scotland and Northern Ireland, the latter of which involved overseeing the Northern Ireland Protocol aspects of the Brexit negotiations; the introduction of gay marriage; and legalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland. Before that, he began his ministerial position as Undersecretary of State for Wales. He was a Member of the European Parliament from 2014-17, playing key roles in Fisheries and Energy. First, he began his career as an academic and has a PhD Palaeontology. As the window of opportunity to secure a Brexit deal gets smaller and smaller, Michael quizzes Lord Duncan on how we have got where we are on Brexit and the UK Government's strategy. They discuss how he feels about the Internal Market Bill dismantling his work in Northern Ireland; the other constitutional problems for the UK; and why reforming the House of Lords is like "juggling sh*t with white gloves"... You can follow Lord Duncan on Twitter @IanDuncanHMG. The podcast was recorded outside and socially distanced, so please excuse the occasional sound of wind and a screaming child.

The Internal Market Bill is a controversial piece of legislation that threatens the rule of law, devolution, and the maintenance of high standards across the UK. It is also a very complex piece of legislation covering issues such as mutual recognition that many are not familiar with. To learn more about what the Bill aims to do, why it is a threat, and why the Bill is important, Jacob Millen-Bamford spoke to Charles Whitmore. Charles Whitmore is the Coordinator for the Wales Civil Society Forum on Brexit and has also conducted doctoral research on mutual recognition.

Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the US Presidential race but the majority of the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump, seem hell bent on overturning the result. There are also rumblings from the left that a Biden Presidency wont be the victory for progressive values that it seemed at face value. How gloomy or optimistic should we be? As the UK seems to be moving almost inevitably towards a no deal Brexit what will the impact of Biden's election be on our domestic politics given his unequivocal condemnation of the Internal Market Bill's weakening of the Good Friday Agreement? John Major floated the idea of two referendums on Scottish independence. Something worth examining or a Unionist Trojan Horse? All this plus. Just what does the SNP media rebuttal team actually rebut? Lord Kilclooney,"I'm not racist. Honest". And musings on Scottish primary schools singalongs in the 60s.

Meanwhile, the House of Lords is expected to remove the law-breaking parts of the Internal Market Bill.

Plus, Alan Wager, research associate at The UK in a Changing Europe, explains why he's still optimistic a trade deal will be reached.

This is an audio recording of an IfG Live Event The UK Internal Market Bill has sparked controversy on multiple fronts. It has wide-ranging implications for devolution, placing constraints on the exercise of devolved policy powers. The UK government argues it is simply replacing frameworks that existed in EU law, while the Scottish and Welsh government have argued that the bill is a “power grab” by Westminster. And by the government's own admission, some provisions, if triggered, would empower ministers to break international law and override elements of the Northern Ireland protocol.As the bill enters the Lords, peers look poised to make amendments. This event explored issues in the bill, the likely amendments and what this will all mean for the Union.Panellists:Rt Hon the Baroness Smith of Basildon, Shadow Leader of the House of LordsRt Hon the Lord Bruce of Bennachie, Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson on ScotlandRt Hon the Lord Dunlop, former Minister for Scotland and Northern IrelandJess Sargeant, Senior Researcher, Institute for GovernmentThe event was chaired by Maddy Thimont Jack, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government.

An independent investigation into the International Criminal Court has revealed examples of bullying, sexual harassment and judicial incompetence. Victims of war crimes are having to wait a lifetime for reparations. But, as Joshua Rozenberg has been hearing, those same victims are hugely grateful to a court that has given them a voice. And with a week to go before the presidential election, courts across the United States have already been dealing with voting-related challenges. Will the next US president be chosen by the judges? The former president of the Supreme Court, Lord Neuberger, says the government's Internal Market Bill is a threat to the nation's reputation as a stalwart of the rule of law, especially when it is asking citizens to abide by restrictions during the pandemic. "It is a massive own goal for the government to be announcing to the people of this country that it does not keep its word, that it does not obey international law," he tells Joshua.

If you thought chlorinated chicken was as bad as it gets, how do you fancy a "white protein" pie from untraceable sources? In this fascinating interview, former Scottish  MEP and organic farmer Heather Anderson explains the threats hidden within the Internal Market Bill and the awful implications of Brexit on our parliament, our agriculture, our economy and the very food we eat.  Unmissable!

“If carefully negotiated terms are not honoured and laws can be ‘legally' broken, on what foundations does our democracy stand?” The Internal Market Bill would ride roughshod over the Withdrawal Agreement signed with the EU last year – and potentially put peace in Northern Ireland at at risk. It's a gamble, by a gambling man, who doesn't seem to know the odds and is unclear for which team he is batting.

Few members of the Senedd are as distinctive as long serving liberal Conservative David Melding, the 'Last of the Unionists'. Known for his thoughtful and considered approach to political discourse, he will be stepping down from the Senedd in May 2021. We discuss his political journey from Neath Young Conservatives, through opposition to devolution in 1997 to his campaign for a new act of union and deep, deep disdain for the UK Government's Internal Market Bill.

Brexit - remember it? Way back in the distant past of 2019 it felt like it was all the newspapers could talk about. It might feel like it’s done and dusted, but the process is still rumbling on. We’ve got an Internal Market Bill that the government itself admits will break international law. MPs just voted through a Bill refusing to guarantee food and farming standards after we leave the EU. And apparently we’re moving the UK border to Kent. So, what exactly is going on? What will happen when the transition period ends on New Years Eve? And what does it all mean for the UK economy?

Happy Friday! This week most of Holyrood unites against the Tories' Westminster powergrab and refuses consent to the Internal Market Bill on the grounds that it damages devolution and breaks international law.  The Scottish Tories had a killer fact lined up to refute this but unfortunately for them, their fact had been fact checked and found to be "Not True" Closer to home, the WFIs unveil our autumn covid-friendly activity plan and set about picking up the pieces.  If you would like to see a short video about our adventures you can find it in the Clacks WFI podcast playlist on the Indylive Radio Youtube channel or on the Women for Independence Clackmannanshire facebook page. Enjoy!

This week we come back to Brexit and ask whether Boris Johnson has a good way out of the current negotiations with the EU over a trade deal. First we talk with Kenneth Armstrong, Professor of European Law, about the thinking and the reality behind the government's Internal Market Bill. Then David, Helen and Chris Brooke explore the politics of success and failure in the negotiations. Can the Union survive? Does the government have a coherent strategy? And how much trouble is Johnson really in?Talking Points:Is the Internal Market Bill just a negotiating tactic, or is it a genuine safeguard for a future world in which there is no trade deal? The government is worried that the wording of the Northern Ireland Protocol risks the possibility of the EU overreaching in its interpretation in ways that would make it more difficult for the UK to pursue its own state aid policy, for example.The government is now saying that it would only invoke these provisions if the EU acts in ‘bad faith.’The problem with that argument is that the agreements already have their own safeguard mechanisms. Why do you need a domestic legal mechanism?The substance of the Internal Market Bill is also getting serious pushback from the devolved authorities.The EU has launched infringement proceedings against the UK. It’s a structured process with different phases. The imperative is to try to seek a resolution without needing to take the action before the Court of Justice.The Commission’s argument is that the UK is acting on bad faith. In the transition period, the UK is effectively treated as a member state. What happens when the UK is fully outside of the transition period? For now at least, all this political theatre isn’t immediately derailing the process of getting an agreement on a future relationship.The ultimate obstacles to a deal are existential: the UK wants to guarantee respect for its autonomy, so does the EU.The EU’s great fear is that the model of a social market economy that it has been building among its member states would be threatened if the UK could engage in regulatory competition or distorted subsidies with the EU.That’s why the level playing field rules and state aid are so important for the EU. There’s also the geopolitical question: the consequences for both sides of not reaching a deal would be significant.Johnson gave his conference speech and he barely mentioned Brexit.The stakes of the ongoing negotiations are as high as they were a year ago, but the political heat—at least for now—has gone out of it.Johnson hopes that if you can get through the next few years and stabilize the Union from the present threats then it will be possible to put the Union on more solid constitutional groundings.This is a politics of crisis. There’s not a clear strategic vision.The pandemic has made the politics of devolution even more complicated because it’s created a de facto English government, which is the UK parliament.The more the Scottish government, the Northern Irish government and the Welsh government disagree about what the rules should be, the more the fact that there is an English government comes to the surface.This becomes an electoral issue too.Is Johnson on his way out?His track record may be a liability where the Union is concerned. There may be better people to lead the Conservative party on the Scottish question.Making a deal with the EU could hurt him with the Spartans of the European Research Group.Johnson’s health could also be an issue; that’s why he’s determined to show that he doesn’t have long-COVID.Mentioned in this Episode:

"Just turn around now, 'Cause you're not welcome anymore" That's what the Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa, (practically) told the current President of the Court of Audit, Vitor Caldeira, which is the supreme entity to monitor the legality of public expenses, according to article 214º n.º1 of the Portuguese Constitution. Therefore, Vítor Caldeira will no longer be offered to a new term, now that his first has come to an end. But why? Basically the government's new bill on public construction works, more specifically on its public tenders, would increase corruption. And that warning made him get hmm… “fired”? Yes, pretty much.

The EU has given London three weeks to remove what it regards as the offending clauses in the Internal Market Bill. Our Europe Editor, Tony Connelly brings us the details.

In this episode Dapo Akande, Marko Milanovic, Sarah Nouwen and Philippa Webb analyse the Internal Market Bill currently pending before the UK Parliament, which the UK government's own legal officers admit breaches international law by reneging on parts of the Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union and the Northern Ireland Protocol thereto that the UK had freely entered into less than a year ago. The team discuss why the UK government has put this Bill forward, how it is fairly unique for a state to admit to breaking international law before actually doing so, and why no international legal argument would work to justify this course of action. The team also discuss whether the concept of the rule of law should be bifurcated between the domestic and the international spheres, and what the role of governmental legal advisors should be in such situations.
