The powersharing institutions at Stormont have been dormant for months due to a DUP protest against the terms of the protocol.

There is no reason why an Assembly and Executive should not be re-established at Stormont now, British prime minister Liz Truss has said.

Ms Truss has also said that she wants a settlement with the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol which “works for everybody”.
