Brexit drama continues to shape UK politics under Sunak's leadership.

Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris has said that the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has "yet to come to terms with the significance" of the vote in support of the new Brexit deal. The DUP voted against the Windsor Framework deal agreed by Rishi Sunak, saying the UK government had to make changes to it. However, Heaton-Harris said the deal was "done" and would soon become international law. The joint UK-EU body that is overseeing Brexit will meet on Friday to ratify the legal changes brought about by the Windsor Framework.

DUP Rejects UK's Brexit Trade Plans for Northern Ireland

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) will vote against the UK government's Windsor Framework Brexit plans in Parliament this week. The framework builds on the Northern Ireland Protocol, which led to disagreements between the UK and European Union (EU) over trade rules. The Stormont Brake mechanism aims to give the Northern Ireland assembly a greater say on how EU laws apply to NI. The DUP has blocked the functioning of the power-sharing government at Stormont for more than a year in protest at the Northern Ireland Protocol.
