The much anticipated deal to fix issues with the Northern Ireland Protocol has dropped - but how are the main groups in Parliament reacting? This is what was said in the debate and discussions after it was announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
But Sir Jeffrey told Mr Sunak that"sovereignty is crucial", so going forward, the government needed to give Northern Ireland assurances there would be no EU laws making trade barriers between NI and the rest of the UK.DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is taking his time before giving his approval - or disapproval - for the deal.
Another DUP MP, Sammy Wilson, described Mr Sunak's statement to the Commons as"an 18 minute confession... about the damage the [Northern Ireland] Protocol his government signed has done to Northern Ireland". Sir Edward Leigh came closest, warning that unless the deal got the NI Assembly up and running again"it is pretty futile - indeed it might be downright dangerous".
She added:"The best move now is for everybody across this House to support this settlement, because that is what is in the best interests of all the people of Northern Ireland."Theresa May gave her support to Rishi Sunak's deal, while making some pointed criticism on Boris Johnson's.
