The UK government has 'absolutely the right' to tear up parts of post-Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland, Kwasi Kwarteng has insisted
UK ministers threatening to walk away from talks; EU negotiators refusing to rewrite deals; and Irish politicians urging compromise for the sake of peace on the island.
The Westminster government is using the threat of domestic legislation in the same way that"no deal" was weaponised as leverage in previous talks.Despite repeated mentions of the Article 16 process by Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, sources confirmed it was the separate option of domestic legislation that was being actively considered.
There’s also a degree of mismatch in the UK encouraging power-sharing to resume, while also using the stalemate as a way to try and squeeze concessions out of the EU. He said:"Ireland is also frustrated. We are dealing with the consequences now of a decision by the British people on our own country that has cost us hundreds of millions of euros, that is risking the peace process and its institutions on the island of Ireland.
