Hopes raised for Brexit deal on Northern Ireland
Monday is being mooted as a possible moment for the prime minister to finally reveal his plans. However, similar expectations were building at exactly this time last week.
Mr Sunak has been facing pressure from his backbenchers over the future role of European Court of Justice , the EU's top court, in policing the application of EU laws in Northern Ireland. Mr Sunak has been trying to win them over to a deal, as the party is currently blocking the formation of devolved government in Northern Ireland.
"The things they're concerned about, the things we're concerned about, are absolutely in alignment," he told Times Radio. Talks to secure changes demanded by British business groups and politicians have been happening, on and off, since the autumn of 2021.
