Stormont brake ‘not really a brake’, says DUP MP critical of Sunak’s deal

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak holds a Q&A session with local business leaders during a visit to Coca-Cola HBC in Lisburn, Co Antrim in Northern Ireland.

A key part of Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal for Northern Ireland is coming under criticism within the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) - as they were warned it is the best offer they will get.

The British prime minister is giving the party “time and space” to consider the Windsor Framework, which is hoped will restore powersharing to Stormont after a year-long absence.
