Rishi Sunak has said his “decisive breakthrough” on post-Brexit rules will remove trade barriers for Northern Ireland and give the UK a “veto” on EU law as he seeks the backing of unionists.
The Prime Minister hailed the controversially-named “Windsor Framework” as marking a “new chapter” on relations with Brussels that he hopes will restore power-sharing in Stormont.
But European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said the replacement to the Northern Ireland Protocol still includes a role for the European Court of Justice – a key issue for the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
