TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has won parliamentary approval for a key element of a reworked post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland, despite opposition from the province's biggest unionist party and some of his lawmakers. Sunak agreed with the EU to introduce the "Stormont brake", aimed at offering Northern Ireland more control over whether to accept any new EU laws, as part of the so-called Windsor Framework of measures.
