United Kingdom will remain under European laws’ jurisdiction after Brexit

Brexit negotiations are still being ajusted according to decisions taken between the prime minister Theresa May and the European Union. The lastest deal so far is that the UK will remain under EU laws’ jurisdiction for at least 21 after leaving the EU. Therefore, the 1972 Act will be completely revoked only after the transition period, in late 2020 – instead of the exit day, March 29th. According to Sky News, this measure was taken to provide more stability to business and individuals so that there is a continuous effect in the process of leaving the European Union. The negotiation has caused irritation between those who were in favor of Brexit, and created a legal paradox, because Great Britain will no longer have a chair in the European parliament, even when remaining under most of Brussels’ laws. The Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab, stated that most proposals were a clear signal from Brussels that “The UK is a trustworthy and dependent negotiation partner”. He highlighted that only some parts of the European law would be followed after Brexit’s D day, March 29th. Keri Starmer from labour party criticised the deal by saying it was an eufemism and that the government’s key act would be the leaving the EU. He also claimed “The European Communnities act of 1972 is revoked when UK leaves the European zone. We warned that “time would not be enough, and that it would have to be erased – here is the proof”, the politician said in the House of Commons in London. Steve Baker, a Brexit minister, who has recently renounced from Theresa’s May cabinet, called it the least worst mecanism to revoke the old law.

LEGAL MINUTE: the United Kingdom may favor qualified European citizens after Brexit.

The United Kingdom may offer a preferential treatment to some immigrants from the EU as part of a future commerce deal with EU. The proposal is part of a document published by the British government about the proposals of ties with the EU after Brexit. Even though the publishing is emphatic when affirming that free circulation of European citizens will come to an end after the transitory period, in December of 2020, the document says it’ll be necessary to acknowledge the “depth of the relation and close bonds between people of the United Kingdom and the EU”. Government of the United Kingdom pauses hostile immigration politics after Windrush According to The Guardian, the hostile immigration policy has been paused after the Windrush scandal. The aim is to avoid that more people who lived in the United Kingdom for over 30 years are “wrongly impacted”. The Home Office chief, Sajid Javid, confirmed the pause in the data sharing between services of the British government. Trump says Europe is “losing” its culture because of immigration President Donald Trump has criticized Europe’s immigration policies during an interview to The Sun, saying that “the amount of immigrants running away from violence and asylum seekers have caused the loss of European culture”. “And I do not say this in a positive way”, said Trump. “I believe that admitting millions and millions of people in Europe is very, very sad”. In the same interview, Trump criticized the prime minister Theresa May, saying that her “soft Brexit” proposal would probably kill any commerce deal with the USA. Secretary of European Comission criticizes Brexit after England’s defeat The secretary of the European Comission, Martin Selmayr, has provoked discontent this week with a tweet that mocked England’s defeat in the World Cup. Martin Selmayr has posted a series of EU flags and emojis just a few minutes after the match in Moscow.

“Brexit dream is dying”, Boris Johnson alerts in his resignation letter

The Minister of Foreign Relations, Boris Johnson, one of Brexit’s biggest supporters and faces of the campaign, has resigned just a few hours after Theresa May’s cabinet secretary, David Davis announced his own dismissal. In this resignation letter, Boris Johnson alerted that “the Brexit dream is dying”. According to him, Theresa May’s plans may mean that the United Kingdom will become a “EU” colony. Just like David Davis, Johnson attended a meeting in Chequers last week, when the prime minister Theresa May believed she had been able to unite the British government’s ministers. However, any hope of peace has been broken within the first 48 hours, when both representatives decided to go against the rules of collective responsibility, in which ministers are obliged to be lined up with the government. In his letter, Johnson alerts that the Brexiteers’ dreams of a Great Britain focused outside Europe were being “suffocated by unnecessary insecurity”, and that the negotiators were being sent with “flyaway white flags”. He carried on: “the British government spent decades arguing against this or that EU rule. Now we are in a ridiculous position to affirm that we have to accept a certain amount of EU rules, without changing them, because it is essential to our economic health – and in a moment when we do not have any capacity to change these laws. In this aspect, we really are moving towards a colony status.” Johnson broke the protocol by releasing his own resignation letter, instead of waiting for it to be published together with the prime minister’s reply, as usual. Earlier, a Downing Street spokesman announced: “this afternoon, the prime minister has just accepted Boris Johnson’s resignation as Minister of Foreign Relations. His substitute will be announced soon. The prime minister would like to thank Boris Johnson for his service.” Photo: Toby Melville – WPA Pool/Getty Images Europe

LEGAL MINUTE: Minister loses his temper and rips Brexit report apart

The British minister for the Environment, Michael Gove, has supposedly stolen documents about post-Brexit operations after his concerns on the proposals were ignored. The newspapers The Sun and The Guardian informed that Gove was so irritated with the disregard that he ripped apart a report on Theresa May’s plan for a new customs partnership with the EU in a meeting in the government’s cabinet. May has divided a Brexit committee into two groups so that the work can be done in each of the Brexit options. May calls for cabinet’s union for Brexit Cabinet’s ministers have gathered in Chequers in an attempt to discuss a deal on the future of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, according to the BBC. Theresa May has said that they have the obligation to come up with a deal, in a discussion about how strictly the United Kingdom should follow EU’s rules after Brexit. It is expected that she will keep the United Kingdom lined up with the EU’s rules for commerce of goods, but not when it comes to services. If ministers get to an agreement, the EU may choose to accept or reject their proposals. United Kingdom’s customs are accused of racism According to The Guardian, at least a dozen of tourists’ visas have been refused for apparently imprecise and frivolous reasons. The British customs have denied the allegations, describing them as “incorrect and deceptive”. The visa applicants were from African countries, the Indian subcontinent, Cuba, Vietnam, Fiji and Thailand. Jeremy Corbyn asks for postponement on Trump’s visit because of his views on immigration Jeremy Corbyn asked for Donald Trump’s visit to the United Kingdom next month to be postponed among the discontent with the president of the USA’s immigration politics, of children being separated from their parents and being kept in cages. The Labour Party’s leader has attacked Theresa May for not standing up properly against the president, claiming that she would have “many reasons to refuse the visit”. May said in the House of Commons this week that images of children in cages in the USA are distressful and that the effects of Trump’s politics are wrong, but she abstained from explicitly attacking the president himself. The information is from The Independent.
