A top Tory has refused five times to say if he 'll resign for breaking international law in a car crash TV interview .
Robert Buckland , the Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor , squirmed as he was challenged over the government 's Brexit plans by the BBC .
It comes as fury mounts from the EU , Tory backbenchers and three former Prime Ministers over Boris Johnson 's plan to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement .
Despite being in charge of the English legal system , and literally pledging an oath to `` respect the rule of law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Buckland has refused to quit .
Attorney general Suella Braverman , who issued a legal opinion trying to justify the breach of international law , has also refused to resign .
The row revolves around a law called the Internal Market Bill which came to Parliament last week .
It will give ministers the ultimate power over which goods need EU tariffs paid , or EU forms filled out , when they are traded between Britain and Northern Ireland .
That has prompted outrage because the Withdrawal Agreement said the EU and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through a joint committee .
Mr Buckland today insisted the law was a `` break the glass in emergency provision '' , which will only be used if there 's no trade deal and if the UK needs it .
So the BBC 's Andrew Marr Show asked Mr Buckland if he would quit if the UK enacted the law , therefore officially breaking international law .
He said : `` If I see the rule of law being broken in a way that I find unacceptable , then of course I will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I don ’ t believe we ’ re going to get to that stage.
” MPs blasted Mr Buckland for picking and choosing which breaches of international law he finds `` unacceptable '' .
Labour 's Shadow Justice Secretary David Lammy fumed : `` Each time the government breaks the law it ’ s a travesty .
`` By ignoring this , the Lord Chancellor is putting career before country . ''
Former Lord Chancellor under Tony Blair , Charlie Falconer , said : `` He swore to uphold the law .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honourably then there is absolutely no hope for the rule of law in this government . ''
Mr Buckland refused to say if he personally agreed to the policy , instead telling Times Radio : `` The policy has been agreed '' .
But he insisted there is a `` conflict or dislocation '' between the Withdrawal Agreement - which Boris Johnson signed - and domestic law , which needs ironing out .
“ What I will be seeking to do and what the government will be seeking to do is to resolve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' he said .
He even bizarrely claimed that by trying to solve the problem , he was acting `` in accordance with the most honourable traditions of the British state . ''
In embarrassing scenes the minister repeatedly urged the British public to obey strict coronavirus laws , while defending a breach of international law at the same time .
Sky News interviewer Sophy Ridge suggested the UK had bought a crowbar and a balaclava in case it needed to stage a robbery .
Mr Buckland claimed : `` Analogies with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What we ’ re talking about here are intricate international law arrangements.
” Boris Johnson is under pressure from all sides to drop controversial plans to rip up parts of his own Brexit deal .
Labour accused ministers of `` reopening old wounds '' and `` unnecessarily inflicting '' Brexit chaos on the country .
Ireland ’ s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney accused No10 of ‘ spin ’ and untruths over reports the EU had been trying to scupper trade between Britain and Northern Ireland .
He told the BBC : “ There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the kind of inflammatory language coming from No10 which is spin and not the truth.
” Former PMs Tony Blair and Sir John Major urged parliament to reject the “ shameful '' Brexit legislation .
In a joint attack on the Government , the pair accused ministers of risking the Good Friday Agreement , trade talks and the UK 's integrity with the new Internal Markets Bill .
“ This government ’ s action is shaming itself and embarrassing our nation , ” they wrote in the Sunday Times .
Mr Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the plans during a chaotic Zoom call with backbenchers on Friday .
And his warning that the EU will `` carve up our country '' without his new Bill has failed to impress critics .
Rebel Tory backbenchers will bring an amendment tomorrow which would give Parliament a veto on the changes - allowing MPs to block them .
Sir Bob Neill , who chairs the Commons Justice Committee , led the amendment which looks set to win the backing of a string of senior MPs .

Robert Buckland, the Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor, was skewered over the government's Brexit plans in a car crash interview with BBC host Andrew Marr
Brexit: Squirming Tory refuses 5 times to say if he'll resign for breaking international law
A top Tory has refused five times to say if he'll resign for breaking international law in a car crash TV interview.
Robert Buckland, the Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor, squirmed as he was challenged over the government's Brexit plans by the BBC.
It comes as fury mounts from the EU, Tory backbenchers and three former Prime Ministers over Boris Johnson's plan to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement.
Despite being in charge of the English legal system, and literally pledging an oath to "respect the rule of law, so help me God", Mr Buckland has refused to quit.
Attorney general Suella Braverman, who issued a legal opinion trying to justify the breach of international law, has also refused to resign.
The row revolves around a law called the Internal Market Bill which came to Parliament last week.
It will give ministers the ultimate power over which goods need EU tariffs paid, or EU forms filled out, when they are traded between Britain and Northern Ireland.
That has prompted outrage because the Withdrawal Agreement said the EU and UK would reach those decisions together, through a joint committee.
Mr Buckland today insisted the law was a "break the glass in emergency provision", which will only be used if there's no trade deal and if the UK needs it.
So the BBC's Andrew Marr Show asked Mr Buckland if he would quit if the UK enacted the law, therefore officially breaking international law.
Five times Mr Buckland refused to give a straight answer.
He said: "If I see the rule of law being broken in a way that I find unacceptable, then of course I will go."
But he insisted “I don’t believe we’re going to get to that stage.”
MPs blasted Mr Buckland for picking and choosing which breaches of international law he finds "unacceptable".
Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary David Lammy fumed: "Each time the government breaks the law it’s a travesty.
"By ignoring this, the Lord Chancellor is putting career before country."
Former Lord Chancellor under Tony Blair, Charlie Falconer, said: "He swore to uphold the law.
"If this is his idea of behaving honourably then there is absolutely no hope for the rule of law in this government."

Mr Buckland accused the EU of being “unreasonable” about how the checks would operate.
And the UK's chief Brexit negotiator Lord Frost tweeted today: "It has been made clear to us in the current talks that there is no guarantee of listing us [as a 'third country'].
"I am afraid it has also been said to us explicitly in these talks that if we are not listed we will not be able to move food to Northern Ireland.
"The EU's position is that listing is needed for Great Britain only, not Northern Ireland.
"So if GB were not listed, it would be automatically illegal for NI to import food products from GB."
But Mr Coveney told the BBC: “There is no blockade proposed.
"That is the kind of inflammatory language coming from No10 which is spin and not the truth.”
Former PMs Tony Blair and Sir John Major urged parliament to reject the “shameful" Brexit legislation.
In a joint attack on the Government, the pair accused ministers of risking the Good Friday Agreement, trade talks and the UK's integrity with the new Internal Markets Bill.

Labour's Rachel Reeves said the party could not support the Bill in its current form and would consider whether to support the Tory amendment.

INSIDE STEPH MCGOVERN'S COLOURFUL HOUSE AS SHE PRESENTS NEW SHOW FROM HER ACTUAL KITCHEN
Steph McGovern turned to counselling after suffering a years of nightmares which focused on her losing her newborn baby and became increasingly more vivid
Steph McGovern has spoken out about the vivid night terrors she has suffered, which focused on her losing a baby.
The 38-year-old BBC Breakfast presenter has revealed that she needed therapy to overcome the nightmares, which she had suffered for years before becoming a mother.
Steph gave birth to a daughter last November but has since been fearing she has lost her, after nightly dreams that have terrorised her.
As she prepares to launch her new daytime live show, Steph's Packed Lunch, she has spoken out in the hope it might help others that have befallen a similar fate.

Speaking to The Sun, Steph said: “I don’t ever actually feel stressed but the way it manifests in me is at night.
“I have crazy dreams and awful night terrors.
“When I was younger, it would be worrying about school stuff. I once went out of the door and actually went to school — in my sleep, in my uniform — at two in the morning."
Steph said that in her adult years, the nightmares have seemingly become more real.
She continued: "As I’ve got older, they have become more vivid. And since having a baby, I will regularly wake up and think I’ve lost her."

Steph said the nightmares consist of thinking that she had "dropped" or "lost" her baby.
It had got so bad that Steph's partner had found her "on the floor scrabbling around under things or in cupboards, looking for the baby."
She said that it is "really quite scary" what her "brain is tricking" her into doing while asleep.
Steph confessed that "lately the night terrors are of not being able to do my job."
Detailing a recent incident at her home, Steph said that she dreamt she was "live on the studio floor and saw a man exposing himself to me, pressing himself up naked against the glass. It was awful."

She said that her partner had to calm her down after finding her "screaming away" as Steph had "leapt out of bed and ran over to the wall and was shouting, ‘That’s indecent exposure! I could have you arrested for that!’"
Steph sought counselling after this episode and while she said that she is not "cured", it has given her coping mechanisms to deal with the disturbing dreams.
She said that there is a new bedtime routine to help and Steph revealed: "Everything now revolves around the baby.
“The thoughts aren’t rational — it’s totally irrational. But it’s something I have had help for."
She said that that therapist has helped her find that it is "all to do with how you go to bed at night, about your peace of mind when you go to sleep."
Now there is no "looking at your phone, not reading terrible stories or watching the news," before heading to bed.

thedailymirror--2020-09-13--Full 'rule of six' restrictions outlined just 15 minutes before going into force

The full 'rule of six ' restrictions banning large social gatherings have been outlined just 15 minutes before they went into force .
The new coronavirus law came into force in the UK at midnight , with people facing fines of up to £3,200 if they fail to abide .
The rule applies to both indoor and outdoor settings and follows a rapid increase in the number of daily positive cases .
Regulations enabling the enforcement of the rule were published late on Sunday night , just minutes before they came into effect .
More than 3,000 Covid-19 cases were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day in a row on Sunday - the first time since May that cases were above 3,000 on three consecutive days .
The new law comes amid concerns about an increase in cases in care homes and growing criticism of the NHS Test and Trace system .
Aside from limited exemptions including work and education , police will be able to disperse gatherings of more than six people and issue fines ranging from £100 to £3,200 .
Home Secretary Priti Patel said the recent rise in cases `` makes it clear that more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread of this disease '' .
The rule applies across England and replaces the existing ban on participating in gatherings of more than 30 and the current guidance on allowing two households to meet indoors .
Chair of the National Police Chiefs ' Council Martin Hewitt has urged the public to `` stick to the limits '' .
He said : `` Preventing the spread of coronavirus is a shared effort and police are playing our part alongside Government , businesses , hospitality owners , local authorities and others .
`` Officers are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engage , explain and encourage people to follow the rules .
We will issue fines when people refuse to comply .
`` The demands on the police service are now at similar levels to before the pandemic , which makes it crucially important that we all take personal responsibility , stick to the limits and prevent the spread of this deadly virus . ''
Meanwhile , a survey suggests a second peak is the number one concern among medics who want to avoid a return to the `` horror and tragedy '' of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British Medical Association ( BMA ) poll found that 86 % of more than 8,000 doctors and medical students in England said that a second peak was likely or very likely in the next six months .
Dr Chaand Nagpaul , BMA council chairman , said : `` With daily cases still alarmingly high , and winter just around the corner , we are at a critical crossroads in the fight against this deadly virus .
`` All efforts must be made to avoid a repeat of the horror and tragedy we all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be hoping the warm and sunny weather forecast for Monday does not encourage people to gather in groups in outdoor spaces .
Temperatures as high as 29C ( 84F ) are expected in some parts , according to the Met Office .
The Government said that as of 9am on Sunday , there had been a further 3,330 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK .
Tough new Covid-19 lockdown measures were announced for parts of the UK on Friday as cases continued to rise and as the R number - the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above one .
According to Government advisers , the last time R was above one was in early March .
How are the new rules being applied in each nation ?

What are the new rules on social gatherings?
The new coronavirus law banning social gatherings larger than six in the UK came into force from midnight with flouters facing fines of up to £3,200
Full 'rule of six' restrictions outlined just 15 minutes before going into force
The full 'rule of six' restrictions banning large social gatherings have been outlined just 15 minutes before they went into force.
The new coronavirus law came into force in England at midnight, with people facing fines of up to £3,200 if they fail to abide.
The rule applies to both indoor and outdoor settings and follows a rapid increase in the number of daily positive cases.
Regulations enabling the enforcement of the rule were published late on Sunday night, just minutes before they came into effect.
More than 3,000 Covid-19 cases were recorded in the UK for the third day in a row on Sunday - the first time since May that cases were above 3,000 on three consecutive days.
The new law comes amid concerns about an increase in cases in care homes and growing criticism of the NHS Test and Trace system.
Aside from limited exemptions including work and education, police will be able to disperse gatherings of more than six people and issue fines ranging from £100 to £3,200.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said the recent rise in cases "makes it clear that more needs to be done to stop the spread of this disease".
The rule applies across England and replaces the existing ban on participating in gatherings of more than 30 and the current guidance on allowing two households to meet indoors.
Chair of the National Police Chiefs' Council Martin Hewitt has urged the public to "stick to the limits".

He said: "Preventing the spread of coronavirus is a shared effort and police are playing our part alongside Government, businesses, hospitality owners, local authorities and others.
"Officers are in their communities following our approach to engage, explain and encourage people to follow the rules. We will issue fines when people refuse to comply.
"The demands on the police service are now at similar levels to before the pandemic, which makes it crucially important that we all take personal responsibility, stick to the limits and prevent the spread of this deadly virus."

Meanwhile, a survey suggests a second peak is the number one concern among medics who want to avoid a return to the "horror and tragedy" of the pandemic's early days.
The British Medical Association (BMA) poll found that 86% of more than 8,000 doctors and medical students in England said that a second peak was likely or very likely in the next six months.
Dr Chaand Nagpaul, BMA council chairman, said: "With daily cases still alarmingly high, and winter just around the corner, we are at a critical crossroads in the fight against this deadly virus.
"All efforts must be made to avoid a repeat of the horror and tragedy we all experienced earlier this year."
Officials will be hoping the warm and sunny weather forecast for Monday does not encourage people to gather in groups in outdoor spaces.
Temperatures as high as 29C (84F) are expected in some parts, according to the Met Office.
The Government said that as of 9am on Sunday, there had been a further 3,330 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.
Tough new Covid-19 lockdown measures were announced for parts of the UK on Friday as cases continued to rise and as the R number - the reproduction number of coronavirus transmission - climbed above one.
According to Government advisers, the last time R was above one was in early March.
How are the new rules being applied in each nation?
The new rules are being applied slightly differently in each devolved administration.
England
From Monday, gatherings of more than six people are illegal.
The rules apply across England to all ages and in any setting either indoors and outdoors, at home or a pub.
A single household or support bubble that is larger than six will still be able to gather.
Covid-secure venues like places of worship, gyms, restaurants and hospitality settings can still hold more than six in total.
Education and work settings are not affected by the new rules.
Weddings and funerals can still go ahead with a limit of 30 people if conducted in a Covid-secure way.

Wales
People in Wales are only able to meet in groups of six or under indoors and must all belong to the same extended household group.
Up to four households can join together to form an extended household.
But, unlike in England, children under 12 are exempt and will not count towards that total.
Also unlike in England, people can still meet up in groups of up to 30 outdoors, as long as social distancing is maintained.
The changes do not apply in Caerphilly county borough due to its rise in Covid-19 cases.
Scotland
A maximum of six people from two households are allowed to meet together in Scotland.
Just like in England, the new limit applies when people meet in restaurants, pubs and beer gardens, as well as in homes.
However, children under the age of 12, who are part of the two households meeting do not count towards the limit of six people, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.
There are "some limited exceptions", covering organised sports and places of worship.
Up to 20 people can attend weddings, civil partnerships and funerals, as well as receptions and wakes, which is more stringent than both England and Wales.

Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland has not announced any changes to how many people can gather. However, localised coronavirus restrictions were introduced in Belfast and Ballymena.
People from two or more households in these areas are not able to meet in private settings.
There are a number of limited exceptions, including childcare provision and households that have formed a social bubble with another.
No more than six people, from no more than two households, are allowed to meet in private gardens.
In Northern Ireland, the number of people who can gather indoors in a private home was already reduced from 10 people from four households to six people from two households last month due to a rise in Covid-19 cases.
Up to 15 people can meet outdoors.

Foodbanks are set to hand out six emergency food parcels a minute to hungry Britons this autumn , a shock study warns today .
Analysis for the country 's biggest foodbank network , the Trussell Trust , predicts a 61 % surge in demand – meaning it will distribute 846,000 packages in the last three months of the year as desperate families struggle to put meals on the table .

Trussell Trust chief executive Emma Revie said : “ Communities throughout the country have shown enormous resilience in helping more people than ever before .

Coronavirus has left the Trussell Trust expecting a massive 61% surge in demand that will leave it needing 7.6million meals between October and New Year's Day
Foodbanks prepare to hand out six emergency parcels a minute to desperate Brits
Foodbanks are set to hand out six emergency food parcels a minute to hungry Britons this autumn, a shock study warns today.
Analysis for the country's biggest foodbank network, the Trussell Trust, predicts a 61% surge in demand – meaning it will distribute 846,000 packages in the last three months of the year as desperate families struggle to put meals on the table.
With each food parcel containing enough ingredients for three meals a day for three days, that equates to the charity providing 7,614,000 meals in October, November and December.
The forecast represents an extra 300,000 packages – and 2.7 million meals – on the same period last year(2019) when 524,000 parcels and 4.7 million meals were distributed.
The feared spike in demand in the run-up to Christmas comes as the Government prepares to end its coronavirus furlough scheme next month – potentially unleashing an unemployment “tsunami” as firms lay off staff.

Trussell Trust chief executive Emma Revie said: “Communities throughout the country have shown enormous resilience in helping more people than ever before.
“But foodbanks and other community charities cannot continue to pick up the pieces.
“None of us should need a charity’s help to put food on the table.”
The dire prediction comes from modelling from the Institute for Social Policy, Housing, Equalities Research (I-Sphere) at Heriot-Watt University, and follows an unprecedented period of sustained pressure on foodbanks.
During the start of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown in April, 52% of people who used a foodbank had never needed one before, according to Trussell Trust data.
Some 99,300 households who had never previously visited a foodbank went looking for help between April and June.
The charity says families with children have been hardest hit.
Statistics revealed a 95% increase in parcels given out to households with kids in April, compared to April 2019.
The figures come in the Trust's latest report, 'Lockdown, Lifelines and the Long Haul Ahead', published today.
It warns that mass unemployment predicted on a scale not seen since the early 1990s will trigger fresh spikes in poverty.
The I-Sphere team fears an extra 672,905 additional people will be deemed destitute by the end of the year – meaning they cannot afford essentials like housing, energy and food.
But the Trust believes the situation can be turned around if “this evidence is prioritised and acted upon by government during the upcoming Comprehensive Spending Review and Budget”.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak is expected to deliver a Budget this autumn.
Ms Revie said: “Our research finds that Covid-19 has led to tens of thousands of new people needing to use a food bank for the first time.
“This is not right.
“If we don’t take action now, there will be further catastrophic rises in poverty in the future.”
But, offering a slimmer of hope, Ms Revie added: “It doesn't have to be like this.
“The pandemic has exposed the power of what happens when we stand together in the face of adversity.
“We must harness this power to create the changes needed to prevent many more people being locked into poverty this winter.
“With the furlough scheme set to wind down, we must act now to put in place protection for each other.
“The Budget and Comprehensive Spending Review present a pivotal opportunity to put things right.
“We must take it to help us weather the storm left in the wake of Covid-19.”
The Trust called on ministers to:
“Protect people’s incomes by locking in the £20 rise to Universal Credit brought in at the start of the pandemic”
“Help people hold on to more of their benefits through the economic crisis by suspending benefit debt deductions until a fairer approach to repayments can be introduced”
“Make local safety nets as strong as possible by investing £250million in local welfare assistance in England”
Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: “Months into this crisis too many people are still falling through the gaps in the safety net and children are going hungry as a result.
“The Government’s incompetence is worsening already unacceptable levels of child poverty in the UK.
“While the changes to Universal Credit are welcome, the Government must take further, urgent action to make sure that no-one goes hungry during the crisis.”
Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokeswoman Wendy Chamberlain said: "Families up and down the country are struggling like never before to put food on the table.
“These forecasts show the situation could get even worse as we head towards Christmas.
"The Government needs to do much more to support people hardest hit.
“Ministers must commit to maintaining the emergency increase in Universal Credit, and extend the furlough scheme to prevent an avalanche of job losses."
Feeding Britain director Andrew Forsey compared the effort of foodbanks during the pandemic with the “Little Ships” rescue of troops from Dunkirk in 1940.
He said: “These figures are incredibly troubling.
“They show that something very serious has been happening to the poorest individuals in our society and this has been amplified by the pandemic.
“That's before we even factor in the similar numbers of foodbanks operating outside the Trussell Trust who have contributed to this social Dunkirk of an operation to prevent people being hungry.”
A Government spokesman said: "We have provided £9.3billion extra welfare support to help those most in need, including increasing Universal Credit by up to £20 a week, as well as introducing income protection schemes, mortgage holidays and additional support for renters.
"Meanwhile, since mid-March we've supported 3.9 million claims to Universal Credit and made 1.3 million advance payments to people who could not wait.
"We have already taken steps to help ease the burden of Universal Credit debt repayments including reducing the maximum deduction from 40% to 30% off a claimant's standard allowance.
"From October 2021 we will reduce this further to 25%, and we will double the time available to repay an advance to 24 months."
