Boris Johnson has caused a furor after revealing his Internal Market Bill, which could nullify elements of the Withdrawal Agreement already signed. This caused outrage after a government minister admitted that the move would violate international law. The EU has also threatened to withdraw entirely from Brexit trade talks, telling the prime minister that he has a month to remove elements of the bill.
While speaking on Spectator TV, Andrew Neil warned that if this attempt to change the Withdrawal Agreement goes wrong, Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer would be quick to criticize.
Mr. Neil argued that the Labor Party and Sir Keir have repeatedly accused the Government of incompetence.
If this tactic by Johnson causes further disruption or doesn’t work, Neil said confidence in the Conservative Party would slip further, playing Sir Keir’s hands.
Mr Neil said: “One of the dangers for the government is that Keir Starmer has been playing on the issue of incompetence.

“The polls are good for the government at the moment, but in the long run that has to be corrosive.”
Political commentator Katy Balls agreed and claimed that the Labor Party wants to continually insist that the Conservative party is incompetent on Brexit.
She said: “There is definitely a sense of incompetence and that is what the Labor Party wants to talk about.
“We don’t hear much from Keir Starmer in terms of politics, so we don’t know exactly what he’s about.

“But what we do know is that Keir Starmer is about pointing out Boris Johnson and saying that I would be less bad than him.”
Despite this possibility, Balls argued that Boris Johnson’s brazen decision could put further pressure on the Labor Party and Sir Keir.
He noted that if this move by the Prime Minister leads to a no-deal scenario, the Labor leader could be forced to clearly outline his position on the possibility.
