Resiling is something you can do when you have a right to do it. They would have to repudiate it. Renege is another word.
The usually shifty Brandon Lewis brazenly said in an obviously prepared statement that the Government was proposing to breach international law. How then can the Attorney General and the Solicitor General let this go. They should stop it or resign, and the people who thought this up and went ahead with it along with them.
I don't care if it is a negotiating tactic - if it is, it's a bad one that will undermine credibility for years to come.
In a way of course it was inevitable as they had painted themselves into a corner but if the agreement already made needs to be changed then it should be done legally.
