The i – Rishi Sunak faces anxious wait to see if DUP and Tory Brexiteers will back his new Northern Ireland deal
The i says Rishi Sunak faces an anxious wait for the verdict of Brexit hardliners and Northern Ireland unionists after striking an agreement to rewrite the deal which took Britain out of the EU.
The Prime Minister and the head of the European Commission unveiled the “Windsor Framework” after months of talks on fixing the Northern Ireland Protocol, the mechanism which avoids a hard border on the island of Ireland.
Most goods going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland will no longer need customs and regulatory checks as long as they are certified as not intended for the EU market. Some food products will have to carry a label saying “not for EU”.
