DUP MP encourages British government to 'tear up' Withdrawal Agreement

Sammy Wilson described the Withdrawal Agreement as “a bad law that is damaging for Northern Ireland.”

The DUP’s Sammy Wilson has said he would be happy for the British government to “scrap” the Withdrawal Agreement as it was economically damaging to Northern Ireland.

The Financial Times reported on Sunday night that the UK was considering using sections of legislation due to be published on Wednesday to “eliminate the legal force of parts of the withdrawal agreement,” including those involving state aid and Northern Ireland customs. That would undermine the agreement on Northern Ireland that the prime minister signed last October.
