The Government has accused its British counterpart of "sabre-rattling" and "posturing" on the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

It has been reported that the UK is considering using sections of legislation due to be published on Wednesday to “eliminate the legal force of parts of the withdrawal agreement”, including those involving state aid and Northern Ireland customs. That would undermine the agreement on Northern Ireland that the prime minister signed last October.
