Speaking this morning, DUP MP Sammy Wilson said: 'We are British and we expect to be governed by British law, not Brussels law.'
THE DUP IS attempting to dampen hopes that it will support any deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol, despite Downing Street raising hopes of an imminent announcement of a deal.
Changes to the Protocol might pave the way for the DUP to end their effective parliamentary veto of the Assembly but senior DUP politicians have suggested that the bar for such changes has not yet been reached. “The progress made so far is very slim. The fundamental issues have not been addressed,” Wilson told Channel 4 News yesterday.Wilson went further today, stating that he does not believe there will be a deal this week between the UK Government and the EU.
We are British and we expect to be governed by British law, not Brussels law. We would certainly not collaborate in administering Brussels law in our part of the United Kingdom. According to a report in The Times, Sunak is willing to go ahead with a UK-EU accord even without the DUP’s support. A source close to Johnson said his view was that “it would be a great mistake to drop the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill” – which would empower UK ministers to unilaterally scrap parts of the treaty.
