Publicae's video: Brexit bombshell: Britain abandons parts of deal with EU Truss thrashes Labour criticism

The British government unilatterly abandons parts of the Brexit deal signed with the European Union. Britain's Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said there is a need to "restore the balance " in the Brexit agreement made with the EU over Northern Ireland as the "practical problems are clear to see". Britain says its move to change the legally binding treaty — an apparent breach of international law — is an insurance policy in case it can’t reach an agreement with the bloc to end a long-running dispute over post-Brexit trade rules. Liz Truss says the Northern Ireland Protocol needs to change as it is not working for Northern Ireland, but says the EU's mandate does not allow for the protocol to be changed.
