European papers were largely positive about Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal

European papers were largely positive about Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal, hailing the UK for finally coming to an agreement with the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Dubbed the Windsor Framework, the deal is lengthy, complicated and currently being poured over by the Democratic Unionist Party, Tory backbenchers and businesses across Northern Ireland.

The Irish Times reported: “Northern Ireland protocol deal moves closer”, while the Irish Examiner reported: “Sunak to sign NI protocol deal with EU” and focused on the shift towards a potential power restoration agreement at Stormont.
