Scrapping the Northern Ireland Protocol "is on the table as one of the options", a UK Government minister has said, in the wake of Sinn Fein's success in the Stormont elections.
The votes cast in Northern Ireland "demonstrate a commitment to the Union", UK universities minister Michelle Donelan insisted, adding that the prospect of a border poll was "a bit speculative".
Resolving the Northern Ireland Protocol "has to be our absolute priority", she said.
