PMQs: Boris Johnson questioned ahead of lockdown vote - BBC News
MPs question the prime minister ahead of vote on new coronavirus lockdown restrictions for England
Boris Johnson was challenged in Prime Minister’s Questions about the UK’s Internal Market Bill, and how it could complicate relations with the United States - if Joe Biden were to win the Presidential election.

Mr Biden has never been a fan of Brexit and his view would be closer to the European - and more specifically the Irish view of what it means.

Donald Trump has also listened to Irish concerns about Brexit. But he has always made it clear that he is comfortable with a more radical split between the UK and the rest of Europe.

Biden has already warned that the Internal Market Bill, which allows the government to ignore specific obligations on Northern Ireland contained in the Brexit withdrawal agreement, could have a negative impact on efforts to agree a free trade deal between the UK and the US.

“We can’t allow the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of Brexit,” Mr Biden said in a tweet in September, referring to the 1998 agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland.

He made his comments after details of the Internal Market Bill were first published.

“Any trade deal between the US and UK must be contingent,” Mr Biden said, “upon respect for the Agreement and preventing the return of a hard border. Period.”

Boris Johnson of course argues that he is not trying to undermine the Good Friday agreement, simply to maintain the integrity of the United Kingdom.

If there were to be a Biden administration, they might not see things in quite the same way.
