' Chief negotiator Michel Barnier has said the bloc would seek non-regression clauses to ensure Britain does not backslide on rules and try to undercut its neighbours.'GodIsADeeJay81 wrote:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 25596.html
Knock yourself out.
Specifically the part where we'd have to agree to non regression rules etc if we want a deal.
That's something they'd be looking for in a trade deal, not a threat of no deal. If we didn't agree to that we may get a lesser deal. However, if you read the rest of the article we've already decided to do it of our own accord anyway, so it wouldn't really work as a threat even if it was one!
