Read our privacy policy Tory Brexiteers are urging Rishi Sunak to allow a vote on any compromise agreement struck with the EU to end the row over the Northern Ireland protocol. It is something parliament should opine on,” said Mr Jones, who expects widespread opposition from the Tory party to any compromise that maintains separate rules for Britain and Northern Ireland. During a visit to Northern Ireland last month, the Labour leader said he was willing to give Mr Sunak “political cover” if he achieved a compromise in the national interest – urging the PM to stand up to the “Brexit purity cult” inside his own party. Former Tory leader William Hague has urged Tory MPs to get ready to “back a deal” with the EU over the protocol in order to move on from the rows over Brexit “rather than insisting on a perfect outcome”.
