Still not 'cutting the mustard', says IPJ
DUP MP Ian Paisley has said he will vote against the Government on the first Commons vote on the new post-Brexit deal on trading arrangements for Northern Ireland - known as the Windsor Framework.The brake would allow a minority of MLAs at Stormont to formally flag concerns about the imposition of new EU laws in Northern Ireland - a move that could see the UK government veto their introduction in the region.
He added: "My initial reaction to the Windsor Framework was that I didn't think it cut the mustard in terms of addressing our seven key tests . "It is the old substance dressed up in a new package with a ribbon around it, but it hasn't actually changed, or addressed the fundamental issue of Northern Ireland trade being disrupted in our internal UK market."
