Boris Johnson and Jean-Claude Juncker have jointly announced an agreement on a new Brexit deal despite the fact the DUP have said they won’t back the new agreement.
It’s important to note that while this deal has been agreed between Boris Johnson’s government and EU negotiators, it still has to pass a vote in a House of Commons where the Tory party doesn’t have a majority. Firstly, Northern Ireland will remain aligned to a limited set of EU rules, notably relating goods, which meaning goods will be checked on entry to the island, and not across a border on the island of Ireland. The UK will be responsible for applying the EU customs code.
Thirdly, Barnier mentioned the subject of VAT, which was thought to be one of the main sticking points during negations.
