Good morning. On Monday, Rishi Sunak tried to persuade parliament and the press that the new Windsor framework would work; yesterday, he turned his attention to the people of Northern Ireland. The deal, hailed by Sunak as a breakthrough, is supposed to address post-Brexit trade problems by reducing checks on goods crossing the Irish Sea.
While Sunak was met with a warm welcome in the House of Commons, the work is not over as the most important voice has not yet approved of the deal. The Democratic Unionist party (DUP) has predictably been guarded about their verdict, insisting that they need more time to understand what the Windsor framework consists of.
