There’s a new trade deal for Northern Ireland with the EU. It’s goodbye Northern Ireland Protocol, and hello Windsor Framework – but it’s unclear whether the Democratic Unionist Party will back the agreement and bring back the power-sharing government.
PM Rishi Sunak and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen were all warm smiles in Windsor when they pitched their plan to use “green lanes” and “red lanes” to cut customs checks and allow Northern Ireland a say in new EU rules.
Adam gets together Brexitcasters Chris and Katya, alongside the BBC’s Ireland correspondent, Emma Vardy, to help us break down the new framework and give us the view from Windsor and Westminster, as well as Belfast and Brussels.
