Have you noticed it's remainiacs who cry foul ! Illegal ! ?

"Better together" the Brexers will cry.

Ironic how they claim that the UK is stronger as a 'union' but reject a much stronger 'union'...

But even worse is now that brexiteers have stamped their toddler feet and forced the UK to leave the EU, many of those toddlers wish the EU itself to fail.

I wonder when those tantrum throwing toddlers will realise it is nothing to do with them anymore!

Oh, but then I forgot. They are in need of something/someone else to blame for their utter stupidity!

The backstop however was sold to UK n the basis that it would likely never be used, Barnier has since threatened to ban trade between NI and the rest of the UK.
That's a very serious threat, and downright nasty.

Has he indeed. How's he going to do that?
The Backstop was only to be used in the event of a No Deal, and at that time UK were insisting they wanted a deal.

Like I said, Barnier is a nasty piece of work, and he's brought all this on himself.

EU negotiators reportedly threatened to block the transport of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland during Brexit trade negotiations.

The threat from Brussels infuriated Downing Street, leading to its decision to breach the Brexit withdrawal agreement by adding “clarifications” to the deal in a bill to be put before parliament today.

I can't wait for all this to go to court, doubtless even more dirty EU shenanigans will emerge.

No, but I have noticed a propensity for Brexers at the top to be liars, cheats and lawbreakers. (Proroguing Parliament, breaking the WA, dodgy eye tests etc.)

Funny thing that...

Those who wish to remain used the correct legal and parliamentary processes...

The tantrum throwing toddler brexiteers it seems are willing to accept any form of law breaking by those who conned them on an unprecedented scale!

But then I guess that's their idea of 'taking back control'!

There's a line from a song I remember...

"Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law"

A song called 'dirty davey'...

Ironic since a certain 'dirty dave' got the UK in the brexit mess it's in now due to him wishing to hang on to power!

The Sun reports that breach was due to veiled threats from EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier

Veiled threats...

Get Brexit Done, lol.

EU negotiators reportedly threatened to block the transport of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland during Brexit trade negotiations.

But how can that be?

We were assured that the 'deal' would be the 'easiest in history'

The fact is that it is borisconi and goebbels who are threatening to tear up the signed WA, not the EU!

But brexiteers always blame the wrong 'target'!

Most of N. Irelands food comes from G.B.
I went into Tescos last night and they had run out of Newcastle Brown Ale, that has never happened before in my lifetime.
Barnier is meddling in a region of Europe that he knows very little about, he needs to wind his neck in.

Now who reported that?
Ah, yes, you carefully cherry-picked the bits you quoted. From your source:

The Sun reports that breach was due to veiled threats from EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier that Brussels would exploit the withdrawal agreement to cripple trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.​

Of course, we all know The Sun is a serious paper capable of in-depth analysis of political stories. And Stefan Boscia ia a serious political analyst.
Got anymore like that?

Jeff Taylor is an uninformed gammon brexer with a fan base of Gasbanni metoos

The bloke makes some very salient points, UK imports more seafood than it exports.
True or false.

The full story from The Sun.

But The Sun has learnt that London's attempt to “clarify” parts of the 2019 exit treaty came after what they saw as veiled threats from Michel Barnier’s team that the EU could exploit parts of the Withdrawal Agreement if the UK did not bow to their trade deal demands.

Under the terms of the deal export of "products of animal origin" such as meat, fish, shellfish, eggs and dairy from the UK mainland over to Northern Ireland will become subject to EU oversight.

The EU has a “Third Country” list of approved third parties that can legally import agricultural goods into areas subject to their rules.

The UK being put on that approved list was assumed to be a given and not subject to negotiation, but Brits were left seething after Michel Barnier’s team hinted the UK may not be given that legal status if talks collapse.

In a No Deal scenario it left open the chance that the EU could declare food exports from Great Britain to Northern Ireland illegal.

I guess Boris not only didn't read the small print, but also assumed UK would continue to enjoy special benefits after Brexit.

Of course, we have to remember that only The Sun reported this story. I would have thought that the NI Protocol would be invoked initially. Which would mean that a) UK could ensure the food meets EU standards, and b) EU/UK could conduct suitable tests at the border, which they'll have to do anyway.

You seem to be forgetting that the legal precedent the govt are citing is the Gina Miller case.

BRUSSELS threatened to disrupt food exports from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland as negotiating leverage, The Sun can reveal.

The incendiary trade talks power play infuriated the UK side and helped trigger their bombshell bid to make legal changes to the Withdrawal Agreement.
