Beyond the criticisms of the Tory government's mismanagement of Brexit, Sir Keir was making a significant offer to the Prime Minister, writes brendanhughes64
Clashing with a dual Irish government visit by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Micheál Martin was far from ideal in any Labour Party efforts to gain favourable headlines.
Ulster Unionist leader Doug Beattie welcomed talks with Sir Keir, saying that Labour "could be the government in waiting". The Labour leader said his party would help Mr Sunak get a protocol deal through Parliament if it fails to win enough support from Conservative MPs."Whatever political cover you need, whatever mechanisms in Westminster you require, if it delivers for our national interest and the people of Northern Ireland - we will support you.
"If they are finally serious about a deal, there will be no sniping from us - I can promise you that."
