Northern Ireland Brexit deal gets formal sign-off

RISHI Sunak's Brexit deal for Northern Ireland has been formally signed off at a meeting in London, as both the UK and the EU hope for better relations.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and the European Commision's Maros Sefcovic chaired a meeting yesterday to adopt the new arrangements for Northern Ireland, after the Government won the backing of MPs for the Windsor Framework earlier this week.

Mr Sefcovic hailed it as an agreement that would deliver "lasting certainty" for people in Northern Ireland while promising that London and Brussels would "exploit the full potential" of the wider trade deal.
