Rishi Sunak has achieved a new Brexit deal with Northern Ireland to revamp trade laws, according to sources from the Government. It was mentioned by a senior government official that ‘an agreement has been reached. The deal is done.’ The European Commission President will go ahead and have tea with the King at Windsor Castle, despite criticisms that the meeting would involve Charles in the politically contentious deal. The Prime Minister is aiming for approval from the Democratic Unionist Party to restore powersharing in Northern Ireland and to convince Conservative Brexiteers to support the deal.

This led to the UK government threatening a unilateral overhaul of the protocol unless the EU accepted wide-ranging changes, which risked a wider trade war. After much 'intensive negotiations' between London and Brussels, a deal seems to have been struck.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the challenge now for the Prime Minister is to get his own Tory MPs to accept the protocol deal. There will be a British cabinet meeting to update the ministers, followed by a short joint press conference by Sunak and von der Leyen and then a statement to parliament on the agreement. The UK leader must now convince eurosceptic Conservatives and the largest pro-UK unionist party that the deal is satisfactory.

The PM has finally announced a new Brexit deal
Rishi Sunak has come to an agreement with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, regarding a new Brexit deal with Northern Ireland in order to completely revamp trading regulations, according to Government reports.
No.10 stated that the Prime Minister had lunchtime talks with Ms. von der Leyen in the UK today for ‘final negotiations’.
The BBC declared that a deal was struck today, and a high-ranking government official commented: ‘An agreement has been reached. The deal is done.’
Ms. von der Leyen will then have tea with the King at Windsor Castle even with criticisms that the meeting would draw Charles into the politically contentious deal.
Sunak is confident that the deal will gain the approval of the Democratic Unionist Party so devolved power-sharing can be restored in Northern Ireland and Stormont can get back in operation.
The DUP's support is also important in convincing Conservative Brexiteers to back the deal as pressure mounted on the Prime Minister to give MPs a Commons vote.
Agreed in 2020 as part of Britain’s separation from the EU, the contentious pact kept the province in the European single market under different trade rules than the rest of the UK.
However, vehement opposition to the protocol from the pro-British unionist community in Northern Ireland, who argue it jeopardizes the province’s place within the UK, has caused the collapse of devolved power-sharing there.
That prompted the UK government to threaten a unilateral revamp of the protocol unless the EU agreed to broad changes, damaging diplomatic relations and risking a wider trade war.
Talks between London and Brussels aimed at settling the problems with the protocol dragged on through last year – and two changes of prime minister in the UK.
Now, after months of what Downing Street called ‘intensive negotiations’ since Sunak took power in October, a deal appears to have been achieved.
