Sunak & Von Der Leyen Hold Presser After Reaching NI Protocol Deal

EU-UK

UK PM Rishi Sunak and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are set to hold a joint presser around the bottom of the hour. Comes after the two sides reached a deal on the Northern Ireland protocol, an agreement that could see EU-UK relations begin to improve after being mired in disagreement over the protocol for a number of years.

  • The contents of the deal are yet to be released, but it appears probable that it will be approved by both sides. The EU will already have gained sign-off from member states, and with the main opposition centre-left Labour Party set to back the agreement this should ensure parliamentary support in the UK, even if there are rebels from Sunak's centre-right Conservatives that vote against the agreement.
