The DUP leader has indicated that he intends to pull his ministers out of the Stormont Executive before November, if his demands on the Northern Ireland Protocol are not met.

Jeffrey Donaldson also said he made the decision because he feared that negotiations between the EU and UK Government over the protocol would be “dragged out” for years.
