DUP MP warns Rishi Sunak there will be ‘no surrender’ to power-share with EU

RISHI Sunak says he has a plan to get a new deal which will fix the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Perhaps the PM will turn magician and conjure up a rabbit out of the hat.

But I don’t think there are any rabbits — or even a hat to pull them from.

If his plan involves keeping any part of the protocol the DUP will not be going back into power-sharing. It is that simple.

It would be puzzling for a prime minister to expend so much political capital, risking mutiny from his MPs, if it does not restore power-sharing.

We are approaching the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.

But we must not rush a deal to hit a deadline.

This is about who governs, who makes the laws — us or the EU?

There must be no surrender.
