Unionist party MP Sammy Wilson says there are still ‘barriers and hills to climb’ for Sunak to win consensus
A deal to solve the post-Brexit impasse in Northern Ireland is unlikely to emerge this week, a senior Democratic Unionist politician has warned, as Rishi Sunak came under increasing pressure from both the DUP and a number of Conservative backbenchers.
Sammy Wilson, who speaks on Brexit issues for the DUP, reiterated the party’s pledge that Sunak agreeing a deal with the EU without the consent of the unionist party would mean a continued boycott of Northern Ireland’s devolved assembly.
