This part of the debate is all about what I've said all along: The EU wants to punish the UK for Brexit and anything we do that touches them puts the UK in the wrong from their point of view.

Their record includes:

• Threat to stop vaccine exports from the EU sited plants to the UK;
  Legal action over the UK's need for more time to implement the NI customs arrangements;
  The latest fun& games in Jersey;
