Johnson who is yet to say whether he will back Sunak's deal with the European Union on post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland will not oppose the deal because "there is no rebellion", the Times report said quoting an ally. One of Johnson's allies said he was expected to be absent during votes rather than oppose Sunak's deal outright, according to the report.There has been speculation in Westminster that Johnson could oppose the deal which marks a high-risk strategy for Sunak who is looking to secure improved relations with Brussels - and the United States.Our Standards:
