Britain’s prime minister faces familiar opposition from hardliners in Westminster and unionists in Belfast
of déjà vu has been unavoidable this week. Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, has been grappling with the hardest problem created by Britain’s decision to leave thein 2016—the status of Northern Ireland. His efforts have prompted predictable opposition, from hardline Brexiteers in Westminster and from unionists in the province.
On the governance of the protocol, too, a deal is emerging. Mr Sunak seems to have secured agreement to a mechanism whereby thepromises to discuss with interested parties in Northern Ireland the application of new single-market laws. As for thelaw, both sides have agreed that in practice disputes should be settled without the need to consult it.
would still play a visible role on British territory, and that Northern Ireland would have no right of veto over changes to single-market rules. Mr Johnson, who blames Mr Sunak for his own ousting last year, let it be known that he was opposed to ditching the bill allowing the protocol to be overridden. Sir Jeffrey now sounds warier.
