thedailymirror--2020-11-09--Peers reject Brexit Bill that breaks international law but Downing St defiant

Boris Johnson 's Brexit bid was dealt another serious blow tonight as the House of Lords voted against legislation that seeks to override the UK ’ s treaty with Brussels .
Angry peers defeated the measures in the House of Lords by 433 votes to 135 .
The peers ' rejection comes over concerns about key clauses in the Internal Market Bill , which ministers have admitted break international law , could risk a hard border with Ireland .
Labour ’ s leader in the House of Lords , Baroness Angela Smith said : “ I am sure some in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ try to dismiss tonight ’ s historic votes in the Lords .
`` To do so , however , would underestimate the genuine and serious concerns across the UK and beyond about ministers putting themselves above and beyond the rule of law .
“ The government should see sense , accept the removal of these offending clauses , and start to rebuild our international reputation.
” And former Conservative leader Lord Howard said the UK would set a “ lamentable example ” if it breaks international law .
The Government needs to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill which breach international law , Lord Howard said .
He told the Lords : “ There have been some suggestions that opposition to this part of the Bill is in some way the last charge of the remainers .
“ That suggestion has a very dangerous implication for those who advance it .
It implies that only those who voted for us to remain in the European Union care about the rule of law , or the importance of keeping one ’ s words , or the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I am in a position which enables me confidently to contradict that implication .
I voted and campaigned for Brexit and I do not for one moment regret or resile from that vote . ''
Some Tories now want the Government to ‘ let sleeping dogs lie ’ and leave the clauses out of the Bill when it returns to the Commons .
But Boris Johnson has made clear he intends to stick with his plan - which he claims upholds peace in Northern Ireland .
And a No 10 source , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , told the Mirror : “ I wouldn ’ t hold your breath ” .
This is despite it threatening tensions with the new Biden administration .
President-elect Joe Biden has warned that Brexit must not be allowed to harm peace in Northern Ireland .

Member of the House of Lords - including a former Tory leader - called on Mr Johnson to drop the clauses which experts say put the UK's relationship with the EU and USA on the line
Boris Johnson's Brexit bid was dealt another serious blow tonight as the House of Lords voted against legislation that seeks to override the UK’s treaty with Brussels.
Angry peers defeated the measures in the House of Lords by 433 votes to 135.
The peers' rejection comes over concerns about key clauses in the Internal Market Bill, which ministers have admitted break international law, could risk a hard border with Ireland.
Labour’s leader in the House of Lords, Baroness Angela Smith said: “I am sure some in government will initially react with bravado and try to dismiss tonight’s historic votes in the Lords.
"To do so, however, would underestimate the genuine and serious concerns across the UK and beyond about ministers putting themselves above and beyond the rule of law.
“The government should see sense, accept the removal of these offending clauses, and start to rebuild our international reputation.”
And former Conservative leader Lord Howard said the UK would set a “lamentable example” if it breaks international law.
The Government needs to “think again” and remove parts of the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill which breach international law, Lord Howard said.
He told the Lords: “There have been some suggestions that opposition to this part of the Bill is in some way the last charge of the remainers.
“That suggestion has a very dangerous implication for those who advance it. It implies that only those who voted for us to remain in the European Union care about the rule of law, or the importance of keeping one’s words, or the sanctity of international treaties.

But Boris Johnson has made clear he intends to stick with his plan - which he claims upholds peace in Northern Ireland.
And a No 10 source, asked whether the PM could back down, told the Mirror: “I wouldn’t hold your breath”.
This is despite it threatening tensions with the new Biden administration.

The audience booed him and Juju said : `` See what I have to put up with ? ''
Bashir later apologised for his comments , telling New York magazine : `` Upon reflection , it was a tasteless remark that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am grateful to you for the opportunity to address those present and hope that the continuing work of the organisation will not be harmed or undermined by my moment of stupidity .

thedailymirror--2020-11-10--Clarke's horrific insult was predictable amid FA's inability to tackle racism

If you were in any doubt as to why the FA remain unable to deal adequately with football ’ s racism crisis , the lack of representation and the many areas within which the game falls short , search up Greg Clarke ’ s appearance in front of the DCMS Select Committee .
Despite being one of the three most powerful men in the English game , he ’ d been declining interview requests for months .
Now we know why .
This was a car crash .
He may have apologised for his use of the term “ coloured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the top of a game which preaches - sorry , demands - diversity , even use that term in the first place ?
You then observe the lack of black faces on the FA board and that question answers itself .
Clarke has no excuses .
The FA launched its own diversity code just two weeks ago , for goodness ’ sake .
How does it throw its weight around , demanding clubs and footballing bodies get their act together when it ’ s public face shows it still to be living in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clarke reinforcing a stereotype that would have had some of the FA ’ s younger , more progressive staff wincing .
`` If you go to the IT department at the FA there 's a lot more South Asians than there are Afro Caribbeans .
They have different career interests . ''
If you ’ re black , mindful of the lack of senior opportunities beyond the pitch within the game , you will not be surprised .
These are the kinds of attitudes and terminologies that exist away from the cameras .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a game that thinks it 's messaging campaigns are truly addressing it 's crises below the surface .

GREG CLARKE RESIGNS AS FA CHAIRMAN AFTER APOLOGY FOR USING OFFENSIVE TERM
GREG CLARKE RESIGNS AS FA CHAIRMAN AFTER APOLOGY FOR USING OFFENSIVE TERM
Clarke was forced to apologise for using a racially offensive term during a parliamentary committee meeting and has duly been forced to resign from his position as FA chairman
He had to go.
You don’t like to see people lose their jobs but Greg Clarke’s appearance in front of the DCMS Select Committee rendered his position completely untenable.
His remarks, insulting such a wide cross-section of supporters and people working within the game, were the kind of thing you’d expect from a leaked phone transcript of unguarded remarks.
Not on camera in front of the government for all the world to see. But then guys like Clarke, at the top of the game, have for too long been used to being able to say such things unchallenged.
Roaming around in football’s equivalent of Jurassic Park, they’ve given the illusion of taking the game’s racism, representation and diversity crisis seriously while freely using the kind of language in private that would see a player or manager punished.
Despite being one of the three most powerful men in the English game, he’d been declining interview requests for months. Now we know why.
Image: Getty Images) Getty Images)
He may have apologised for his use of the term “coloured footballers” but how does somebody at the top of the game even use that term in the first place?
Perhaps if there were some - any - black members of the FA board they’d have saved him from himself. Clarke has no excuses.
The FA launched its own diversity code just two weeks ago, for goodness’ sake.
How does it throw its weight around, demanding clubs and footballing bodies get their act together when its public face shows it still to be living in the dark ages?
Here’s Clarke reinforcing a stereotype that would have had some of the FA’s younger, more progressive staff wincing.
"If you go to the IT department at the FA there's a lot more South Asians than there are Afro Caribbeans. They have different career interests."
Do they?
It is the kind of racial profiling that limits opportunities and continues stacking the odds against black and Asian people within football.
For anyone convinced that the messaging campaigns are truly addressing its crises below the surface, Clarke has provided a reality check.

A man was fired from a Covid testing centre after posting on Facebook that he was working alongside a convicted paedophile .
Nigel Tower discovered that his colleague Martin Gill had been convicted of trying to meet a child for sex .
The Falklands veteran vented his fury that he had been employed at the Durham city centre site starting last month , Chronicle Live reported .
Nigel 's bosses saw the post and gave him the boot from what was his first job in five years .
Sodexo , which runs the site , said he had breached his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' said Nigel , who is now on Universal Credit after losing the £24,000-a-year job .
`` I 've lost my job and my income all for making it public that a paedophile was working there to staff who should have a right to know . ''
The testing site 's operator , Sodexo , said it was `` unaware '' of Gill 's crime when he was hired at the Territorial Lane testing centre for cleaning and waste management duties .
A spokesperson for the firm added that it took immediate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his conviction , adding : `` We have informed Mr Gill that we will not be providing him with any further work '' .
This year the 26-year-old was convicted of grooming someone posed as a 15-year-old schoolgirl via the dating app Badoo .
Newcastle Crown Court heard how Gill offered to bring `` condoms and a blanket '' to have sex with the girl back in March .
The girl was not real but an avatar used by the Guardians of the North group .
Gill pleaded guilty to attempting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grooming .
According to Nigel , Gill was in his training group when they both started at the same time , roughly six months after his arrest .
`` He seemed alright at first , but it goes to show you do n't know who you are working with , '' said the 57-year-old , from Crook .
Shortly after they started , he was horrified to read that Gill had been sentenced for attempting to meet an underage girl following sexual grooming .
`` When I read about it , I sat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do , but I became more and more distressed and realised I had to tell someone , '' claimed Nigel .
`` So I put a post on Facebook that I was devastated to be working alongside a convicted sex offender . ''
Management caught wind of the post and demanded it be deleted , Nigel claimed .
He complied , despite being `` shocked and disgusted '' at Gill 's crimes .
`` I thought that was the end of the matter , but the next day ( Monday ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day off telling me that I 'd brought the company into disrepute , '' he said .
`` I asked them how could I have brought the company into disrepute , when I 'm the one who has been exposed to him ? ''
Sodexo told Nigel in an email that he had breached the firm 's social media policy .
City of Durham MP Mary Kelly Foy said the case raised concerns over the firm 's recruitment process .
“ Of course , without knowing the precise circumstances , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the facts as reported are extremely worrying , '' said the Labour MP .
`` I think residents in Durham would like to learn more about Sodexo ’ s recruitment practices and what sort of information they ask of potential employees at the Durham city centre Covid testing site .
`` Whether we are in the middle of a pandemic or not , the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults is paramount .
`` I ’ m afraid this is one of the many issues with the outsourcing of test and trace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clearly we don ’ t have the same safeguards as we would have when the public sector , and the NHS in particular , delivers these services.
” The probation service is now investigating Gill , who was sentenced to a community order and placed on the sex offender 's register following his conviction .
Durham Constabulary confirmed it had contacted the probation service after a complaint was received .
A Sodexo spokesperson added : `` We are currently liaising with the probation service regarding an individual who was engaged by us as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid-19 testing centres .
`` We were unaware of the person ’ s pending court case when we recruited them .
`` The individual was immediately suspended when we were informed of their conviction and we are investigating the matter .
`` We can not comment any further on an individual ’ s employment with us .
`` The role of a multi-service operative involves cleaning and waste management duties and does not require any interaction with members of the general public .
`` The safety of those we serve is our top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a crushing blow , having been out of work for five years as he battled PTSD following years of service in the RAF .
`` I 've been made to feel like I 'm the victim , '' said an emotional Nigel , whose dismissal caps off a miserable year which saw him spend a period in ICU after catching Covid-19 .
`` They 've made me feel like it is my fault , when all I 've done is stand up and say this is wrong .
