Our political reporter brendanhughes64 cuts through the jargon stormontbrake WindsorFramework
The Windsor Framework deal on Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol includes a new veto mechanism called the "Stormont Brake".
It is based on the Petition of Concern, a cross-community safeguard in the Stormont Assembly which resulted from the Good Friday Agreement. The government said this gives the UK an "unequivocal veto", enabling the disputed rule to be permanently disapplied. Would the Stormont Assembly get a vote? It appears no Assembly vote would be required to deploy the Stormont Brake.
