The Windsor Framework does not deal with some “fundamental problems” created by the Northern Ireland Protocol, DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said.

Sir Jeffrey said he was seeking further clarification from the UK Government over elements of the post-Brexit deal where he said concerns remained.

Responding, Downing Street said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework agreement is the “best deal available” for Northern Ireland.
