Concerns grow that Boris Johnson has already decided to trigger article 16 of Northern Ireland protocol
The EU’s Brexit commissioner will tell David Frost, the UK’s Brexit minister, that negotiations over Northern Ireland are doomed to fail unless he drops an “unattainable” demand over the role of the European court of justice.
At a meeting in London on Friday, Maroš Šefčovič will warn his British counterpart, Lord Frost, that Downing Street needs to “take a step” towards the EU for the talks to be “meaningful”.
