'Nothing if off the table.' Dominic Raab has told LBC it is 'critical' for the stability of Stormont that the Northern Ireland Protocol is fixed.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has told LBC "nothing is off the table" and it is "critical" for the stability of Stormont that the Northern Ireland Protocol is fixed.His comments come amid fears that forming an executive will be stalled after Thursday's local elections saw Sinn Fein become the biggest party for the first time.
"I think actually in Northern Ireland we need to bring stability. We need to get the executive up and running so the politicians in Northern Ireland can serve the voters," he told Tom. Tom asked the minister: "So, if it's a choice between unilaterally ending the Northern Ireland protocol in order to get the DUP on side, and form an executive, would the government consider and indeed act to break up the Northern Ireland protocol?"
Sinn Fein has become the biggest party in Northern Ireland, securing a historic victory for the nationalists on Thursday.
