'Not acceptable': Boris Johnson to vote against Rishi Sunak's Brexit deal
MPs will vote on the 'Stormont Brake' on Wednesday afternoon.Boris Johnson has said he will not be voting for Rishi Sunak's Brexit deal, saying the "best course of action" is to instead proceed with his Northern Ireland Protocol bill.
MPs will vote on the deal, dubbed the Windsor Framework, for the first time on Wednesday afternoon, with MPs to decide whether they want to back the Stormont brake. The former prime minister has argued that the Windsor Framework would mean that Northern Ireland is "captured" by EU laws, setting it apart from the UK, or that the UK was unable to "take advantage of Brexit.
"The proposed arrangements would mean either that Northern Ireland remained captured by the EU legal order - and was increasingly divergent from the rest of the U.K - or they would mean that the whole of the U.K. was unable properly to diverge and take advantage of Brexit,"Boris Johnson will appear in front of the Privileges Committee on Wednesday afternoon over claims he misled the House of Commons."That is not acceptable. I will be voting against the proposed arrangements today.
