Boris Johnson has said the UK is committed to protecting the country’s “economic and political integrity”. The right to override the Brexit deal must be reserved.
The PM said legislation was needed to resolve the “tension” in the EU-UK deal.
He said he would ensure that the UK was not “broken” by foreign powers and that the EU behaved “extremely” by threatening food exports.
Labor said the prime minister had “messed up” by renewing on a deal he had previously called a “victory.”
Domestic Markets is expected to pass its first parliamentary exam since the bill, when MPs vote on it at 22.00 BST, despite the reservations of many MPs that give the UK the power to break international law.
A number of Conservative lawmakers have said they will not support the bill because it stands in the way and some may file a complaint avoiding it.
The UK left the EU on January 1, negotiating with the group and signing a withdrawal agreement.
The main part of the treaty – now an international treaty – was the protocol of Northern Ireland, designed to prevent a strict border returning to the island of Ireland.
The government’s proposed internal market bill will override that part of the agreement when it comes to the movement of goods between Northern Ireland and Britain and will allow the UK to reinterpret “state aid” rules on subsidies for payments in Northern Ireland. In the event that both parties do not agree on a future trade deal.
‘Defensive power’
Speaking at the start of the five-hour debate, the Prime Minister said the bill, which takes care of “UK sovereignty and integrity”, should be “welcomed by everyone”.
He said the UK had signed a “fairly balanced” withdrawal agreement in good faith, including the Northern Ireland Protocol, and was committed to honoring its obligations, including the introduction of a “light touch” inquiry into trade between Britain and the North. Ireland.
But he said that now the additional “defensive powers” need to defend against the “proven will” of the European Union, to “negotiate” aspects of the agreement in an “absurd” way in those negotiations, just to negotiate.

“Our country’s borders cannot be determined by any foreign power or international organization.”
He also suggested that the EU threaten not to allow British companies to export products of animal origin to the continent or Northern Ireland.
He told MPs, “Rude and self-destructing because that action would be the same … The European Union has not yet taken this revolver off the table.”
However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat President Conte’s government, but sought to justify military action, saying “for some time now, we have not been able to get the vote.”
‘Bullying’
But former Labor leader Ed Miliband, who was forced to leave home after the Labor leader came out in favor of Sir Care Starr, said “the very act of passing the law” would violate international law.
He told lawmakers that the prime minister “cannot blame anyone else” and that he had signed the Brexit deal.
“It’s his deal, it’s his mess, it’s his failure,” he said. For the first time in his life, he said, it was time to take responsibility and sit down. “Either he wasn’t straight with the country in the first place or he didn’t understand it.”
He added: “This is not legal bullying on any issue, it is on everyone’s sensitive issue.”
Conservative MP Sir Bob Neal said the government must “exhaust” all the measures available under the current agreement to resolve differences before taking in-depth action.
He said the government’s action was “unnecessarily provocative” for ongoing trade negotiations and “unnecessarily damages our reputation for sticking to the rule of law”.
And former Chancellor Sajid Javid has joined the ranks of potential rebels, saying he could not see why it was necessary to “pre-emptively renew” the withdrawal agreement.
“Breaking international law is never a step to be taken lightly.” He tweeted.
A senior government source told the BBC that “all options are on the table” in terms of possible action against Tory MPs who do not support the bill.

Five former prime ministers have raised concerns about the bill, including Boris Johnson’s predecessor Theresa May – who is absent from Monday’s discussion as she visits South Korea.
