Sunak says MPs will get vote on Brexit deal – as Tories urge: ‘get the b***** thing done’

The Independent  

Rishi Sunak appeared to confirm that MPs will be given a vote on any post-Brexit deal he settles with the EU to end the long-running dispute over the Northern Ireland protocol. Challenged by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs on Wednesday to reveal whether a vote would be held, the prime minister said: “Of course, parliament will express its view.” Sir Keir also accused Mr Sunak of “pulling the wool over the eyes” of Tory Brexiteers by refusing to say a deal would leave some EU law in place in Northern Ireland – along with a role for European judges. It’s not a strategy, it’s surrender.” Dismissing the jeers of Tory MPs, Sir Keir responded: “The sound you hear is them cheering the prime minister pulling the wool over their eyes.” Mr Starmer again offered to give Labour’s support to a Brexit deal – claiming that the basis of this deal “has been agreed for weeks”. Sir Bernard added: “It would be unconscionable to sign an agreement with the EU which cements in place the protocol.” Rishi Sunak says ‘vital issues’ over Northern Ireland protocol will be addressed with EU Downing Street indicated that Mr Sunak will not drop legislation going through parliament allowing ministers to override the protocol unless there is a new agreement with the EU. One senior Sunak supporter told The Independent that he “100 per cent” agreed that failing to forge a deal would strengthen Labour’s position.
