Much like with David Frost’s interview today in @MailonSunday this evening’s news that the government is planning domestic legislation that would undermine parts of the Withdrawal Agreement incl Irish Protocol, now has EU figures asking “Who is this news aimed at?” /1

More at a domestic audience.. specifically at ardent Brexiters, including backbench Tory MPs unhappy with government handling of exams and more this summer and worried government might be tempted to make concessions to EU to secure a trade deal /3

Because, EU contacts tell me, if tonight’s news of the planned legislation was aimed at EU as a negotiating tactic in trade talks, then they say, it was a very bad tactic as it only succeeds in getting EU backs up, whatever the detail of the planned legislation turns out to be /4
