Former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib claimed the withdrawal agreement the UK and EU had already signed would cause future issues for Britain. During an interview with Express.co.uk, Mr Habib said there were many problems with the withdrawal agreement regarding Northern Ireland. Mr Habib argued these crucial issues would prevent Boris Johnson from fulfilling his Brexit promises on borders, money and sovereignty.

Mr Habib said: "We can't be certain of getting the best deal possible in these Brexit trade negotiations.

"In many respects, we have already failed the United Kingdom.

"When we signed the withdrawal agreement last year, we signed up to the Northern Irish protocol."

Mr Habib went into greater detail of why he felt the Tory Government and Mr Johnson had failed to do what is best for the UK.

He continued: "The Northern Irish protocol is a binding international treaty.

"That aspect of the withdrawal agreement commits Northern Ireland, therefore any company that has offshoots from Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, to EU state laws.

"It commits Northern Ireland to EU tax laws as far as excise duties and VAT are concerned.

"It commits Northern Ireland to phytosanitary and sanitary measures, as determined by the European Union.

"And finally commits Northern Ireland to have a border down the Irish sea, between Great Britain and itself."

Mr Habib argued these measures meant Boris Johnson and the Government would not be sticking to the promises they were elected on.

The Brexit Party member said: "All these things make it impossible for the Prime Minister to deliver his manifesto pledges of taking back control of our cash, laws and borders."

He closed by admitting his concerns of any deal the UK and EU agree in the Brexit trade talks.

Mr Habib said: "Whatever deal comes out between David Frost and Michel Barnier, they so far have not even begun to tackle the Northern Irish protocol.

"There is an elephant in the room that neither party has yet tackled.

"That will become a bigger and more looming elephant as we reach December 2020."
