The EU have just said:
"Should the UK authorities breach – or threaten to breach – the Withdrawal Agreement, through the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill in its current form or in any other way, the European Parliament will, under no circumstances, ratify any agreement between the EU and the UK."
Our trade with the EU is currently worth something like £660 billion; Japan is on the other hand something like £30 billion 🙄
So what. See you EU, you're toast!

The Polish community cannot live without their crazy snacks and spicy sausage, Spanish restaurants always want Scottish langoustine it's the finest there is, Staropramen will not refuse a licence to brew their awesome beer very badly in Nottingham. Life and trade will go on.
