Rishi Sunak has more authority and stands taller after his Brexit deal - it was a good days work
But what has happened this week is a really big moment. Up to now Rishi Sunak hasn’t really had the tone of voice or authority of a proper prime minister. He was never chosen by the Tory members or elected by the public and he has been hemmed in by Tory critics at Westminster.
Almost all the checks on goods moving between Britain and Northern Ireland, which we were told were essential, will go. There will be no new border on the island of Ireland. The authority of the European Court over a few, trade-related issues remains in Northern Ireland but subject to the “Stormont brake”, a locking device triggered by 30 members of the power-sharing assembly. That gives the DUP the strongest possible incentive to go back and make Stormont work again.
We don’t know is whether it leads to a genuine new relationship between the UK and the EU. Von der Leyen virtually announced the return of the important scientific and academic Horizon programme and the mood music is very warm. But will that mean further agreement on trade, citizens’ rights and the migrant boats problem?
