Boris Johnson’s warning to Rishi Sunak over Brexit deal

The Telegraph  

Boris Johnson has warned Rishi Sunak that ditching the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill in favour of a new Brexit deal would be a “great mistake”. On Saturday night, a source close to Mr Johnson said: “His general thinking is that it would be a great mistake to drop the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.” The Bill allows the Government to rip up parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, which would include ending the role of the European Court of Justice. It is understood that Mr Sunak believes if he can secure a revised Brexit deal, he will no longer need the Bill. On Saturday, the Prime Minister and Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, issued a rare joint statement saying they had made “very good progress” on solving the Protocol issue.
