This article discusses how Brandon Lewis, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland announced that the Internal Market bill will break international law by altering the Northern Ireland Protocol, which was part of the Brexit deal Boris Johnson agreed to.The U.K government stated that this was just to ensure that ministers can uphold the Good Friday peace agreement. This drew criticism from Theresa May, who negotiated most of the Brexit deal. She claimed that this would make it difficult for future partners to trust that the U.K will abide by their legal obligations. On Tuesday, the head of the U.K's legal department, Jonathan Jones, resigned over a reported dispute over plans to challenge parts of the Brexit deal. The reasons for him stepping down are not confirmed, Downing Street only confirmed that Jones has stepped down.
