Chances of Brexit deal fading every day, EU Commission chief says – Reuters

Posted: September 18, 2020 at 1:23 am

BRUSSELS/LONDON (Reuters) - The head of the European Commission said on Wednesday the chances of reaching a trade deal with Britain were fading by the day as the British government pushes ahead with moves that would breach their divorce treaty.

The British government announced draft legislation last week which it acknowledges would violate its international legal obligations and undercut parts of the divorce deal it signed before Britain formally left the European Union in January.

Brussels wants Prime Minister Boris Johnson to scrap what is known as the Internal Market Bill, saying it could sink talks on future trade arrangements before Britain finally leaves the EUs orbit when a status quo transition period ends in December.

Johnson has refused.

With every day that passes, the chances of a timely agreement do start to fade, said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, the EU executive.

In a speech to the European Parliament, she said the divorce agreement cannot be unilaterally changed, disregarded or dis-applied.

This is a matter of law, trust and good faith ... Trust is the foundation of any strong partnership, she said.

The EU fears a disorderly Brexit if the terms of the trade relationship are not agreed, and former British prime ministers have said breaking the law is a step too far that undermines the countrys reputation.

Johnson has said the bill was essential to counter absurd threats from Brussels including that London be required to put up trade barriers between Britain and its province of Northern Ireland and that the EU would impose a food blockade. Such steps, he said, would threaten the unity of the United Kingdom.

Asked on Wednesday if the EU was negotiating in good faith, Johnson said: I dont believe they are.

Perhaps they will prove my suspicions wrong, Johnson said.

Johnsons Internal Market Bill has been criticised by senior members of his governing Conservative Party and the previous five prime ministers have also expressed concern at the damage it might do to Britains international standing.

However, he appeared to have averted a rebellion by Conservative lawmakers which might have derailed it altogether after agreeing to a compromise with them on Wednesday.[L8N2GD4RA]

It is agreed that the parliamentary procedure suggested by some colleagues provides a clearer, more explicit democratic mandate for the use of these powers, and also provides more legal certainty, the government and two of the rebel lawmakers said in a joint statement.

It will mean parliament will have to give its approval before ministers can use the powers which override the Brexit divorce deal.

Earlier, Britains Northern Ireland minister Brandon Lewis told parliament he stood by remarks he made last week that the bill would break international law in a very specific and limited way.

However in a sign of continuing unease with the plans, Scotlands top law adviser to the British government, Richard Keen, quit his role, saying he could not reconcile his legal obligations with the governments policy intentions.

His resignation comes after the head of the British governments legal department quit last week over the issue.

EU diplomatic sources told Reuters that if the bill was passed in its current form, Brussels felt it could not deal with London.

A no-deal Brexit would be more costly for the UK than coronavirus, Goldman says – CNBC

LONDON Theblow to theU.K. of failing to reach a trade deal with the European Union would be more costly than dealing with the coronavirus, Goldman Sachs economists have warned.

In fact, the investment bank said the fallout of a no-deal outcome was likely to be "two to three times larger" than that of "the worst pandemic witnessed in post-war history."

The U.K. government has over the last weekchallengedprevious commitments with the European Union, increasing the odds that both sides will not manage to put a trade agreement together before the end of the year. This "no-deal" outcome would result in higher costs for exporters on both sides.

Some analysts have suggested that these costs would blend in with the hit to the U.K. economy from the global pandemic, making it difficult to determine what will be the real source of economic pain in the years to come. However, Goldman Sachs economists disagree.

"We are sceptical of the argument that the sheer scale of the economic fallout from Covid-19 will obscure the economic impact from a breakdown in Brexit negotiations," they said in a research note Monday.

The investment bank argued that the industries hit hardest by the coronavirus such as recreational, food and drink, and wholesale businesses are different from the sectors mostly likely to be punished by the U.K.'s departure from the European Union, which include chemicals, textiles and electrical equipment businesses.

I'm afraid that next year (the performance of the U.K. economy) is going to be even worse.

Anatole Kaletsky

founder and co-chairman of Gavekal Research

However, they added that when considered together, "from an aggregate perspective, the present value of the long-run impact of failing to reach an EU-U.K. free trade agreement is likely to be two to three times larger (on reasonable assumptions) than the present value of the cyclical damage wrought by the coronavirus crisis."

The U.K. economy grew by 6.6% in July the third consecutive monthly rise, according to data from the Office for National Statistics released last week. However, the public body warned that the U.K. "has still only recovered just over half of the lost output caused by the coronavirus."

In addition, the unemployment rate increased to 4.1% in the three months to July 0.3 percentage points above the rate seen a year ago, according to data out Tuesday.

"The world's worst performing major currency, stock market and economy have all been located in Britain since Boris Johnson was re-elected last December," Anatole Kaletsky, founder and co-chairman of Gavekal Research, said in a note Monday.

Speaking to CNBC on Tuesday, he added that he was "very worried about the performance of the U.K. economy going forward.

"I'm afraid that next year is going to be even worse because of this combination of Covid, which is still very much out of control, and this additional blow from actually almost anything that comes out of these Brexit negotiations," he said.

The EU and the U.K. have said they remain in close contact and their plans to have another round of trade talks at the end of the month are still on the table.

However, the EU has made it clear that it cannot sign new trade arrangements if the U.K. violates previous already-legislated commitments.

On Monday, U.K. legislators cleared the first legal hurdle in implementing the so-called Internal Market Bill a set of new laws that, if cleared in both chambers of the U.K. parliament, would breach international law. The EU has asked the U.K. to amend the bill as soon as possible and no later than until the end of the month if it fails to do so, the EU will likely challenge the U.K. government in court.

Both sides have given themselves until October to put together an agreement that can then be ratified before the end of the year, but analysts are growing increasing skeptical that this is going to happen.

Cloud Security Challenges in 2020 And How to Avoid Them – TechFunnel

Posted: at 1:23 am

Check Point and Cybersecurity Insiders have released their global 2020 Cloud Security Report, wherein the emphasis was placed on the cloud security challenges that business security systems face in the protection of data and workloads in their public cloud systems.

According to the report, 75% of respondents revealed that they were highly concerned about public cloud security as it continues to remain a big challenge for them.

One of the current cloud computing security issues and challenges affecting cloud security in 2020 is the problem of data breaches. The data breach has several consequences, some of which includes:

This is another of the most widespread cloud security challenges facing cloud technology in 2020. For example, a misconfigured AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) cloud storage bucket leaked accurate and sensitive data of about 123 million American families in 2017.

The dataset was owned by Experian, a credit bureau that engaged in the selling of the data to an online marketing and data analytics organization called Alteryx. The file was exposed by Alteryx. Such an incidence can have lethal consequences.

All over the world, several businesses are moving parts of their IT infrastructure to public clouds. A major issue with this migration is the incorporation of adequate security structures to tackle cyber threats.

The challenge however is that most businesses still find it almost impossible to implement this process. Datasets are vulnerable to several attacks when businesses make the assumption that cloud transition is a simple-to-execute task of just migrating their present IT system and security architecture to a cloud environment. Another contributing factor is also a lack of understanding of the shared security role model.

With cloud computing comes several changes to typical internal system management practices associated with identity and access management (IAM). Although these arent really new cloud security challenges, they are however more important challenges when working on a cloud-based environment.

This is because cloud computing has great effects on identity, credential, and access management. In both private and public cloud environments, there is a need for CSPs and cloud users to manage IAM without impairing security.

The hijacking of accounts is an issue characterized by the access to and abuse of accounts that contain extremely sensitive or private details, by malicious attackers. Usually, the accounts with the most threats in cloud environments are subscriptions or cloud service accounts.

These accounts are prone to compromise as a result of stolen credentials, exploiting cloud-based systems, and phishing attacks.

According to the 2018 Netwrix Cloud Security Report, 58% of organizations indicate insiders as the cause of security breaches. Thus, most security incidents are caused by insider negligence.

The report from the Ponemon Institutes 2018 Cost of Insider Threats study indicated that 13% of the reported insider incidents were caused by credential theft, 23% were associated with criminal insiders, and a whopping 64% was as a result of employee or contractor negligence.

Some of the cited common scenarios are: employees or other internal staff being victims of phishing emails that resulted in malicious attacks on business assets, employees saving private company data on their own poorly secure personal systems or devices, and cloud servers that have been configured inappropriately.

In order to enable consumers to manage and utilize cloud systems, cloud computing providers release a set of software user interfaces (UIs) and APIs. These APIs are the ones that determine how secure and available the overall cloud servers services will be.

From access management and authentication to activity control and encryption, it is necessary that these interfaces are designed for protection against both malicious and accidental attempts to infiltrate the security policy. The implications of insecure APIs can be the abuse or even worse the breach of a dataset.

A number of major data breaches have been caused by hacked, exposed, or broken APIs. In essence, it becomes imperative for companies to have an understanding of the security features that characterize the design and presentation of these interfaces on the internet.

The transition from the data platform to the cloud environment creates certain issues for the creation of adequate data storage and protection protocol. It is now important for the user to create fresh processes for duplicating, migrating, and storing data.

This process becomes even more complex if the user would be employing Multi-cloud. These problems should be solved by a control plane. This is because it provides the integrity and security that would complement the data plane which brings about stability and runtime of the data.

An inefficient control plane indicates that whoever is in charge either a DevOps engineer or a system architect does not have complete control over the verification, security, and logic of the data infrastructure.

In this kind of situation, major stakeholders are unaware of how data flows, the security configuration, and the positions/areas of structural weak points and blind spots. As a result of these challenges in cloud security, the company could experience data leakage, unavailability, or corruption.

Every now and then, cloud service providers reveal processes and security protocols that are needed in order to successfully integrate and safeguard their systems. In most cases, this information is disclosed via API calls and the protections are integrated into the CSPs metastructure.

The metastructure is regarded as the customer line/CSP of demarcation, also called the waterline. In this model, several levels are characterized by error possibilities. For instance, inappropriate API integration by the CSP makes it easier for attackers to hinder cloud customers through the interruption of integrity, confidentiality, of service availability.

Restricted cloud usage visibility is the outcome of the inability of a company to visualize and analyze the safety or maliciousness of the cloud service used within the organization. There are two major cloud security challenges in this concept.

The first is un-sanctioned app use. This happens when employees are making use of cloud tools and applications without the specific authorization of corporate IT and security. This, therefore, leads to a self-assistance model known as Shadow IT.

It is risky when insecure cloud services activity is not in accordance with corporate guidelines, especially when integrated with sensitive corporate data. According to forecasts made by Gartner, by 2020, of all successful security infiltration in businesses will be driven by shadow IT systems and resources.

Secondly, is sanctioned application misuse. It is usually difficult for companies to carry out analysis on how approved apps are being taken advantage of by insiders who make use of the sanctioned app.

Most often, this utilization takes place without the specific permission of the organization, or by external threat agents that target the service though methods like Domain Name System (DNS) attacks, Structured Query Language (SQL) injection, credential theft, and others.

Malicious attackers may take advantage of cloud computing resources to target cloud providers, as well as other users or organizations. It is also possible for malicious actors to host malware on cloud services.

Malware that is hosted on cloud service may appear to have higher legitimacy because the malware utilizes the domain of the CSP. In addition, cloud-based malware can utilize cloud-sharing resources like an attack vector to propagate itself the more.

According to a survey, about 60% of respondents ascertain or strongly ascertain that the launching of business services in the cloud has skyrocketed beyond their ability to effectively maintain them in a timely manner. This figure remains the same since it was reported. This means that there has been no progress in that aspect. With the increasing rate of public cloud adoption, it is safe to conclude that the ground has been lost.

The primary objective of DoS attacks is to disable a system, network, or machine so that it becomes inaccessible to its intended users. The development and growth of cryptocurrencies like Ripple and Bitcoin make it easy for DoS attacks to occur the more.

By using cryptocurrency, it is no longer a must for cybercriminals to acquire the needed skills or possess control over a botnet. All they need to do is hire another hacker via these funding options to execute the work on their behalf.

In terms of security features, Vendor Lock is identified as a risk factor. It is highly restrictive to be limited to just one compatible security solution choice for a cloud service. The impact of this can be a low ROI for security.

This is because the locked-in vendor does not need to be in competition with other vendors. They are with your company since youre their only choice if you desire a functional service without starting all over from the scratch.

Thus, it is necessary that you ascertain how effective it would be to move from a particular service provider to another when choosing cloud-based services. It is pertinent that you consider certain factors before choosing a cloud computing service in order to avoid vendor lock-in (for either your cloud service itself or your security solutions). Consider these factors:

Awareness and adequate communication of security risks is an important aspect of network security, as well as cloud security. A thorough security solution must be able to alert the respective website or app managers immediately it perceives a security threat.

Without clear and prompt communication, the appropriate entities will not be able to quickly mitigate the threat and take proper steps that will minimize the threat.

In all, although all of the issues discussed above pose a threat to cloud security, they are however not insurmountable. With the proper approach, technology, and partners, businesses can overcome the cloud security challenges and begin to enjoy the abundant benefits of cloud technology.

Brexit: Ireland’s land bridge to the continent boosts air pollution in the UK – The Conversation UK

Posted: at 1:23 am

A no-deal Brexit could cost up to 5,000 jobs in Irelands fisheries, but its not just access to the UKs coastal waters that the country is hoping to hold on to in any post-Brexit arrangement. Perhaps more important to Ireland is the UKs motorway network.

Every year, more than 150,000 trucks transport over 3 million tonnes of freight to and from Ireland to the rest of the single market across the UK land bridge an arrangement that involves Irish trucks using British motorways to reach the continent. One route involves goods being shipped from Dublin to Holyhead by ferry and then by road to Dover before being shipped to Calais.

Its difficult to overestimate the importance of this land bridge for Ireland. A 2017 study found that 40% of Irelands exports to the EU reached the continent via the UKs roads, with an estimated value of 18.2 billion (16.3 billion). Journey times to the EU market are less than 20 hours by the land bridge, but up to 40 to 60 hours by sea. Thats why its the preferred route for companies moving food, live animals and other high-value goods, such as heavy machinery and transport equipment.

A no-deal outcome could sever Irelands most important route to EU markets. But what might the loss of Irelands land bridge mean for the UK? Our research has found that it could entail substantial benefits for air quality and roads throughout the country.

From January 1 2021, British goods will be treated as third-country freight by the EU, meaning they will be subject to customs and regulatory controls at European ports. These ports arent yet able to differentiate between British and Irish freight, but once they are, a two-speed processing system would ensure Irish trucks are fast tracked through the system and UK trucks subject to regulatory delays. The Irish government is keen to ensure that the land bridge isnt considered a major negotiating point in UK-EU trade negotiations.

But for the UK, there is another dimension to the land bridge that has been completely overlooked. All the benefits that come from it accrue to Ireland and the EU, while all the negatives are borne by British citizens and companies.

The 150,000 truck journeys that Irelands imports and exports add to the UKs road network often cause local congestion. Lorries also cause more damage to road surfaces than most other vehicles, with one study calculating that a six-axle, 44-tonne truck is over 138,000 times more damaging to the foundations of a road than a small, one-tonne car with two axles. These extra costs are covered by the UK taxpayer.

For the UK, the land bridge means that a third country is directly contributing to national air pollution, with all the health consequences that entails. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide pollution can trigger and exacerbate asthma symptoms, and its also associated with heart disease and birth complications. Inhaling fine particulate matter (often called PM2.5, as these particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometres) is linked to a host of medical conditions, including lung cancer.

We calculated the quantities of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and PM2.5 produced from 150,000 heavy goods vehicle journeys from Holyhead to Felixstowe (329 miles, or 529 kilometres) and found that it results in an additional 34 tonnes of NOx and 0.7 tonnes of PM2.5 per year being emitted across Wales and England. The PM2.5 calculation is based on exhaust emissions only though, it excludes particulates shed from brakes and tyres. Total UK road transport NOx emissions in 2018 were 258,000 tonnes.

The Irish lorry fleet is also quite a lot older than the UKs. By 2020, 90% of UK lorries were at Euro VI standard and none were Euro III. In comparison, the latest data for the Irish fleet reveals that almost 20% is Euro III and only 22% Euro VI. This matters, as Euro III engines emit about 30 times more NOx than Euro VI.

Brexit has made visible a source of UK air pollution that is unrelated to the UK economy. The UK-EU trade negotiations should include air pollution and any agreement should include regulations that prevent highly polluting heavy goods vehicles from using the land bridge.

Perhaps one of the strangest outcomes of a no-deal Brexit may be that, for all the potential economic consequences for both Ireland and the UK, Britains air pollution problem might substantially improve.

Revealed: ‘Alternative Irish border’ Brexit lobbyist in fresh conflict of interest row – Open Democracy

Posted: at 1:23 am

A controversial former lobbyist was reappointed to advise the British government on trade while continuing to work for undisclosed private clients, prompting concerns over conflict of interest.

Shanker Singham, who resigned from a similar role in 2018 after openDemocracy reported that he was also working for a commercial lobbying firm, was appointed to the Department for International Trades trade and agriculture commission in July.

Singham is reported to be in the running for all or part of a 200m government contract related to post-Brexit checks down the Irish Sea. Now evidence reviewed by openDemocracy and Source Material suggests that, as he returns to the Department for International Trade, he remains active as a lobbyist.

Singhams personal consultancy firm spent $20,000 on Democrat-aligned lobbyists in Washington to advocate for a US-UK free trade deal last year. The lobbyists helped broker a series of meetings in Washington for Singham and former Northern Irish first minister David Trimble, including with Congressman Richard Neal, head of the influential Ways and Means Committee that would greenlight a post-Brexit trade deal.

Neal is one of a number of Democrats who has voiced serious concerns about Boris Johnsons proposed changes to the protocol on the Northern Ireland border. On Wednesday, presidential nominee Joe Biden tweeted that any post-Brexit trade deal would be contingent on respecting the Good Friday Agreement.

Angus MacNeill, chairman of the parliamentary select committee on international trade, said of Singhams lobbying work: If hes been lobbying and there is money involved then all other commission members should know that. It shouldnt take journalists to dig up this information.

These relationships should be known and not hidden, the Scottish National Party MP added.

Singham is listed by the committee as representing Competere Ltd, the company he owns. Competere is not a lobbyist but a trade consultancy, he told SourceMaterial.

Singham said that his trip to Washington was a pro-bono mission paid for out of his own pocket. But David Trimble said he understood the trip to have been paid for by some conservatives, though he was unsure of the exact source of the money.

Dubbed the Brexiteers brain, Singham is a fellow at the Institute for Economic Affairs, a free-market think tank that takes money from undisclosed corporate clients. The charities regulator criticised Singhams previous work at the Legatum Institute for pro-Brexit bias.

In November, Singham and Trimble travelled to Washington for some jet-set diplomacy, aimed to smooth the path to a UK-US trade agreement by selling Boris Johnsons Brexit arrangements to wary US congressmen.

A key part of the DC charm offensive was making the case for the Northern Ireland protocol agreed between Johnson and the European Union which the prime minister himself is now rowing back on.

Singham has been one of the main advocates of the so-called alternative arrangements for the Irish border, a scheme backed by a number of Tory MPs and funded by a private company called Prosperity UK, owned by Brexit donor Paul Marshall.

In a single day in Washington, Singham and Trimble held almost a dozen meetings, mainly with Irish-American politicians on Capitol Hill. Smoothing the way was Transnational Strategy Group, a Washington DC-based lobbying firm that Singhams personal company paid $20,000 specifically to lobby for a US-UK Free Trade Agreement, according to documents filed in the US.

Among the meetings arranged by the US lobbyists - former Obama staffer Joel Rubin and Ari Mittelman, who had previously represented Libyan militias was one with Richard Neal, the Democrat chair of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, which would oversee any US-UK trade deal.

Singham and Trimble also met veteran Republican congressman Pete King, who had spoken in favour of the Irish Republican Army during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. After the meeting King tweeted that while he and Trimble didnt always agree in the past, they were on same page now about a UK-US free- trade deal.

Harnessing the Power of Cloud Computing in Kenya – IT News Africa

Posted: at 1:23 am

The topic of cloud computing has been doing the rounds for quite some time now, and businesses have been flooded with information promoting and supporting the use of cloud technology. With so much information out there about the cloud, it may take some time to fully wrap our heads around the implications of connecting to the cloud.

What does cloud technology mean for Kenya and Africa, and how can we leverage these services to adapt and thrive in a digital world?

The potential benefits of mass cloud adoption across Africa

The benefits offered by cloud computing will differ within each individual business based on their unique needs. However, the underlying advantages boil down to the same three points: strategic value, flexibility and efficiency.

Having access to cloud computing means that businesses can access all of their resources from any Internet-enabled device, no matter where they are. The result of this is that the ability to collaborate with colleagues is no longer limited to one location, providing a competitive advantage over businesses that use fixed, onsite IT infrastructure.

Another advantage of having instant access to business-related files and information from any location or device is that companies will experience less downtime as a result of hardware failures and device theft. Your data will always be safe and secure with an offsite backup.

In addition to instant access, switching to the cloud means cost savings, as businesses no longer need to invest in physical infrastructure that needs to be continuously updated. This ties in with the flexibility of cloud solutions. You can scale your solution to fit the size and needs of your business as a business grows, you can add users and services, and when needs decrease, you can downscale. This can have a significant effect on managing cash flow.

A good cloud service provider should give you the freedom to choose the services that suit your business. Your provider should also manage your application and install the latest updates behind the scenes. This means that you can continue operating without having to worry about keeping up with technological developments in the cloud. This will also result in savings on capital costs and increases business efficiency.

With the significant advantages to productivity and flexibility that come with the adoption of cloud technology, enabling cloud services in Africa should be a priority for government and business.

Barriers to cloud uptake in Kenya

Adoption of cloud technology has accelerated in recent years, driven by better broadband connectivity and more affordable data. However, many private businesses and public institutions in East Africa are yet to fully embrace these services due to insufficient knowledge, public perception, confusing regulations, and cost and security concerns to name a few challenges.

Another barrier to the uptake of cloud technology is inadequate access to a reliable, high-speed Internet connection. Without one, cloud technology is redundant. We have seen an increase in Internet usage in Kenya, with 39.3 million Internet subscriptions recorded in 2019/2020, according to the Communications Authority of Kenya.

Awareness has to be created around what technology is available in Kenya and how people can go about harnessing it. This means that the risks associated with an Internet-driven world need to be addressed as well.

There has already been an increase in the uptake of cloud technology in Kenya over the last few years, with 35.6 per cent of public institutions and 22.9 per cent of private businesses using this technology in 2017/2018, according to the Communications Authority of Kenya. Given the time since these figures were released as well as recent global events we anticipate seeing a significant increase in the number of cloud computing users and in-demand for cloud technology in Kenya.

Enabling the cloud for a future-forward Kenya

If Kenya is to take advantage of the opportunities that the cloud can provide, businesses and government need to work together to create a more enabling, conducive cloud environment. Nurturing the development of a stable, reliable communications infrastructure network in Kenya is key to ensuring the continuous uptake of cloud technology. By providing infrastructure that is able to withstand the demands of an Internet-driven world, the Kenyan economy will be able to grow and develop into a thriving business hub.

Examination of the sectoral overlap of COVID-19 and Brexit shocks – Gov.ie

Posted: at 1:23 am

Ireland is currently dealing with a severe public health crisis from Covid-19, which has substantially reduced social and economic activity. Prior to the onset of the pandemic, the most imminent risk to the strong performance of the Irish economy seemed likely to come from a hard Brexit. This paper looks at sectoral exposure to both the COVID-19 and Brexit shocks to assess if there is a risk that the impact of a hard Brexit on an economy weakened by dealing with COVID-19 could make the previously estimated effects of Brexit worse. Using a range of data sources, we assign an exposure rank to 57 sectors of the economy for each shock, from most severely affected sectors to those that are effectively unaffected. Overall, we find that there is limited overlap in the sectors exposed to the different shocks. We further examine the flow of goods and services between sectors affected by the two shocks to establish the extent of potential supply chain transmission of the shocks. Our main finding is that the sectors exposed to each shock are not particularly closely connected to those affected by the other shock. These results suggest that adding the Brexit shock to that of COVID-19 brings a wider range of sectors exposed to risk but that the impacts are not magnified by interaction effects.

Brexit bill hugely damaging to UK’s reputation, says ex-ambassador – The Guardian

Posted: at 1:23 am

Britains former ambassador to Washington has described the internal market bill as hugely damaging to our international reputation, warning that it could deter other countries from entering into agreements with the UK in the future.

Kim Darroch told the Guardian that if it becomes law, in violation of the withdrawal agreement signed with the EU last year, it would endanger the countrys prospects of achieving trade deals with the EU and the US, and have an enduring impact on its global standing.

It is the most astonishing thing I can recall through my entire public service career: a minister said we are knowingly breaking international law, said Darroch in an interview. Over the course of a 43-year career at the foreign office, he served as envoy to the EU in Brussels and national security adviser, before becoming ambassador to the US.

Its potentially hugely damaging to our international reputation. It puts at risk future international agreements, if people think the Brits are just going to say: we didnt like this on reflection, and we would like to rewrite this part unilaterally, the retired diplomat, now Lord Darroch of Kew, said.

The bill survived its latest parliamentary hurdle on Monday night, passing its second reading in the House of Commons by a margin of 77 votes.

Governing the flow of goods and services between the UKs four constituent nations, the bill stipulates it takes precedence where it contradicts elements of the withdrawal agreement, and the British government has admitted that would break international law.

Darroch said the impact could be first felt in negotiations with the EU to establish new trade relations after Brexit.

Ive talked to a few people in Brussels, and they are determined not to just walk away from the table because of this. Its equally inconceivable you would get the UK-EU deal through if this passes into law, he said.

The effect of the bill on Northern Ireland would have other ramifications, particularly if it led to customs checks on the border with the Republic of Ireland, something the withdrawal agreement was designed to prevent. The return of a hard border would jeopardise the 1998 Good Friday agreement, to which the US is guarantor.

The UK-US deal is at risk because, even if Donald Trump is reelected, its quite hard to see the Republicans taking back the House [of Representatives], Darroch said. And as long as the House is in Democratic hands, the leadership have made it clear that a UK-US free trade deal wouldnt be possible if we put at risk the Good Friday agreement.

Darroch was forced to resign as ambassador to Washington in July last year after his reports back to London on the turmoil and dysfunction in the Trump administration were leaked. Donald Trump declared his officials would no longer deal with the UK ambassador, and Boris Johnson, who was at the time running to replace Theresa May as prime minister, failed to offer Darroch a clear statement of support. The former diplomat gives an account of his turbulent time in Washington in a memoir, Collateral Damage, published in the UK on Tuesday.

Darroch speculated the internal market bill could be a negotiating ploy to force concessions from Brussels. If so, he said, it was not a very good one.

If we were to back down or find a way through with the EU, that would limit the damage, but the fact that we contemplated it is still damaging, he said. The downsides, with the EU free trade deal, the US free trade deal and our international reputation are so big, I cant quite believe they will carry through on it.
