Jeffrey Donaldson: No powersharing for DUP while Irish Sea border remains

The leader of the DUP has warned the Prime Minister that the party will not return to powersharing in Northern Ireland unless "decisive action" is taken to remove Brexit's Irish Sea border.

Sir Jeffrey Donaldson told delegates at the DUP conference in Belfast that changes must be secured to the controversial Northern Ireland Protocol, either through renewed talks with the EU or by unilateral action at Westminster.

The DUP is blocking the functioning of the powersharing institutions in Belfast as part of its protest against arrangements that have created barriers on the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
