The EU's Ursula von der Leyen will be in the UK on Monday for face-to-face talks with PM Rishi Sunak.

The Northern Ireland Protocol was agreed under former PM Boris Johnson as part of the process of the UK leaving the European Union.

The party has prevented a Northern Ireland devolved government from forming, leaving it in political gridlock. Some Conservative MPs could also rebel against the government in any vote in Parliament, our correspondent added, with Brexiteer Tories wanting lawyers to scrutinise the text.

The land border is a sensitive issue because of Northern Ireland's troubled political history. It was feared that cameras or border posts - as part of these checks - could lead to instability.
