Brexit deal: Boris Johnson poised to announce UK and EU have reached agreement - live

By

Negotiations continued overnight between UK and EU at European commission’s headquarters in Brussels

Yesterday the European Research Group, which represents the Conservative MPs most committed to a hard Brexit, said they would convene a “star chamber” of lawyers to analyse the provisions of any agreed treaty before deciding on whether to give their support. (They’re fond of Tudor terminology; Henry VIII is often seen as England’s first Brexiter because he broke with Rome.)

The statement said:

The ERG will tomorrow [Thursday] reconvene the panel of legal experts, chaired by Sir Bill Cash, to examine the details and legal text. The team of highly experienced lawyers previously known as the ‘star chamber’ was first assembled in 2019 to examine the legal aspects of Theresa May’s original withdrawal agreement.

Given that the new agreement is also highly complex, the star chamber will scrutinise it in detail, to ensure that its provisions genuinely protect the sovereignty of the UK, after we exit the transition period at the end of this year.

Boris Johnson is expected to hold a press conference at 8am, the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg reports.

Morning - I hope you are asleep, especially as it’s Christmas Eve. If you are awake, expect PM a to talk to EU chief at about 7am UK time now with a press conference to follow at about 8

Understand there were four calls between PM and EU chief Von Der Leyen yday to get Brexit deal over the line. One final one in about half an hour expected to sign and seal after late night wrangles over individual fish species (am not making this up)

Cooler Master NotePal U3 Plus review: Modular and powerful

By
There are many types of laptops. However, gaming laptops are the biggest culprit for overheating. They have the strongest CPUs in the laptop space along with powerful GPUs. Both work really hard when gaming and it’s hard to keep them cool in the process. Some laptop coolers work for your everyday tasks and they’re fine. It takes something a little extra to work with gaming laptops and that is what Cooler Master was going for with the NotePal U3 Plus. Here is our review to see if it works.

Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger: Power and versatility

By
Gallium Nitride chargers are the single biggest innovation to come to the relatively staid world of charging bricks. The size advantage can’t be overstated. Combined with USB-C, it makes using a single charger for all your devices a very realistic solution. Aukey is just one of the brands to have dived headfirst into the world of GaN chargers with a wide portfolio of products. In fact, I reviewed the company’s 100W charger recently. However, with charging sockets at a premium, the single port charger wasn’t quite cutting it for me. Now, I’ve been testing the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger for the last few weeks. It aims to solve just that problem. How well does it perform? We find out in the Android Authority  review of the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger. Aukey 65W PD GaN charger: What is it? Credit: Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority A smaller counterpart to the Aukey 100W PD GaN charger we reviewed recently, the 65W charger takes portability up a notch. It’s even smal...

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

By
The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look. Read more: The best fitness trackers Huawei Watch Fit design Credit: Kris Carlon / Android Authority The Huawei Watch Fit will instantly appeal to those who like Huawei’s smartwatch offerings but aren’t into the bulkiness of them. I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will...
