British home secretary Suella Braverman has played down suggestions she could resign amid concerns among some Tory MPs that Rishi Sunak is conceding too much ground to the EU in talks over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Mrs Braverman, who quit as a minister in Theresa May’s government over her Brexit deal, said she was confident the present prime minister was committed to safeguarding Northern Ireland’s place in the UK.
