Prime minister warned by DUP to not leave Northern Ireland ‘abandoned to EU’ ahead of meeting with Stormont leaders
Good morning. Prime minister Rishi Sunak is holding talks with Stormont leaders as speculation mounts that a deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol could be close.
But the DUP has warned Sunak that the party will not return to power sharing if he leaves Northern Ireland “abandoned to the EU” under any new deal he has cut with Brussels over the Brexit trading arrangements for the region.
