The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Northern Ireland protocol: First Minister speaks after Brexit breakthrough” – below is their description.
The UK and EU have broken the impasse on the Withdrawal Agreement, resolving outstanding issues regarding the Irish border, in a key step towards a final Brexit deal.
As a result of the agreement announced this afternoon the Government will withdraw controversial law-breaking measures from the UK Internal Market Bill – which could have overridden the Withdrawal Agreement – and it will not introduce any similar provisions in the Taxation Bill.
