NI Secretary @BrandonLewis says the UK Gov is “fully committed to implementing the Withdrawal Agreement & Northern Ireland Protocol”.

.@UKLabour’s @LouHaigh : Some fear the PM is using NI as a political football.

“How can the people of NI trust this Gov when they suggest the Protocol is necessary & then try to undermine it.”

.@LouHaigh : There was no need for it to come to this: With trust, progress could easily have been secured. We cannot afford to be a country that can’t be trusted.

NI Secretary @BrandonLewis says supports delivery of protocol in all circumstances.

He says the UK will implement a safety net. He adds that he cannot comment on the resignation of Treasury Solicitor

Former PM Theresa May asks how the Gov can “reassure future international partners that the UK can be trusted to abide by the legal obligations of the agreements it signs?"

.@BrandonLewis : Delivering on the Good Friday Agreement is about ensuring no barriers East / West or North/ South.

DUP’s @eastantrimmp; : “This Union-splitting, economy-destroying, border-creating agreement has to be changed & replaced.”
