Sir Jonathan Jones’ email to GLD officials says that ‘certain provisions of the Bill ... are contrary to the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU’. (He also uses the phrase ‘notwithstanding the breach of international law’.) So his view is that taking the powers is itself a breach. https://t.co/SO22jvVWYQ — PolitiTweet.org

If taking the power to override a treaty is in itself a breach of international law (which is implicit in what Brandon Lewis said), additional safeguards on the exercise of any such power (such as requiring a Commons vote) doesn’t stop it being a breach of international law. — PolitiTweet.org

Arguments that international law is only breached when the powers in the Bill are exercised is inconsistent with what a Minister - reading from a prepared script - has already told the Commons and the view of the Govt’s most senior lawyer. — PolitiTweet.org
