Prime minister is in Northern Ireland as Conservatives split over pay rise for nurses
Rishi Sunak said there are parts of the protocol which threaten Northern Ireland’s place within the union.
He said: “I am not going to give a running commentary on the negotiations, it wouldn’t be appropriate.
“I am really committed to resolving some of the issues with the (Northern Ireland) protocol, protecting Northern Ireland’s place in the union, in the United Kingdom, and in doing so, restoring the Executive.
“That is what the people in Northern Ireland need and deserve and that is what I am working flat out to try and deliver.
