Brexit’s contentious Northern Ireland Protocol “cannot work”, and must be replaced, First Minister Arlene Foster has said.

Writing in Thursday’s Daily Telegraph, Mrs Foster said the Prime Minister had committed to protecting the UK internal market by all legislative means necessary, including triggering Article 16 and that he “must now back up those words with tangible actions”.
