Brexit: Rishi Sunak under pressure from both sides of debate on protocol deal

The Independent  

Rishi Sunak is under pressure from a divided Tory party over the Northern Ireland protocol, with Brexiteers urging him to defy the EU and moderates asking him to sign a compromise deal. We need to get rid of the protocol altogether because it’s undermining the Good Friday Agreement.” With the ERG’s DUP allies also expected to oppose a compromise, Mr Jones added: “Any deal would be completely futile and embarrassing if it’s unacceptable to the unionist community because the Northern Ireland institutions won’t be restored.” Despite the prospect of Tory rebellion in the Commons, Sir Keir Starmer has indicated that Labour MPs would be whipped to give Mr Sunak “political cover” for any final agreement. “The principal problem is that Northern Ireland will remain subject to EU rules on trade in goods and taxation on a dynamic basis without any input from its elected representatives.” It comes as Brexiteers expressed their anger at a “secret” cross-party gathering on how to address Brexit failures and other foreign policy issues held at the Ditchley Park retreat in Oxfordshire last week. Levelling up secretary Michael Gove was said to be in attendance alongside Labour’s shadow foreign secretary David Lammy for discussions headed under the title: “How can we make Brexit work better with our neighbours in Europe?” One Brexiteer said it was a bad sign that “mostly ardent Europhiles” were meeting together.
