Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary groups have told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson they are temporarily withdrawing support for the 1998 peace agreement due to concerns over the Brexit deal.

While the groups pledged "peaceful and democratic" opposition to the deal, such a stark warning increases the pressure on Johnson, his Irish counterpart Micheál Martin and the European Union over Brexit.

"The loyalist groupings are herewith withdrawing their support for the Belfast Agreement," they said in a letter to Johnson quoted by the Belfast Telegraph. "Please do not under-estimate the strength of feeling on this issue right across the unionist family,” the letter said. Since Brexit proper on Jan. 1, 2020, Northern Ireland has had problems importing a range of goods from Britain - which unionists, or loyalists, say divides up the United Kingdom and so is unacceptable.
