The DUP says the economic border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland is exacerbating the inflation crisis and underlines the need for action. However, relations between the UK and EU appear to have improved since Liz Truss became Prime Minister and both London and Brussels have been talking up the potential for striking a deal through a fresh round of negotiations.Donaldson told the DUP conference he did not mind whether changes were secured by way of negotiation or unilateral action at Westminster.
“On this issue it is not words but actions we need to see, and we will judge any outcome on the basis of actions not words.”
