Tory Brexit hardliners formulating response to Sunak’s NI deal

Nadine Dorries has criticised those ‘gushing’ over Windsor framework, and ERG will meet on Tuesday

Hardline Brexiters who were threatening to rebel over Rishi Sunak’s new deal with the EU will decide how to respond at a meeting on Tuesday night, while a key Boris Johnson ally has hit out those already “gushing” at the agreement.

In a sign he was willing to face down his critics, the prime minister said MPs would get a vote “at the appropriate time” on the details of his agreement to overhaul arrangements in Northern Ireland on customs and jurisdiction over EU law, known as the Windsor framework.
