A UK minister conceded Boris Johnson’s government will break international law by attempting to re-write the Brexit divorce deal the prime minister signed with the European Union only last year.

Johnson’s spokesman, James Slack, declined to comment on the reasons for Jones’s departure. Collins Rice, whose departure had been in the offing for several months, is taking up another public appointment, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

He went on to all it an “unwelcome distraction” and that such an approach would be “hugely problematic and illegal.” Johnson’s office said the prime minister made promises prior to signing the divorce deal that he wanted to uphold, including that there would be no paperwork on trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.

That assertion was immediately questioned, and could leave the government open to challenge in the courts.
