Sir Keir offers Labour's support for Rishi Sunak's Brexit deal - as Boris Johnson's camp says he's still studying the Government's plans
His party's support means MPs will almost definitely approve the "Windsor Framework" the PM finalised on Monday with the EU in Windsor.
Boris Johnson's influence could be key to whether the changes sail through in an expected vote by MPs or if serious opposition is mounted. "It achieves something we never achieved before - removing the requirements of the EU customs code for people sending and receiving parcels. Families can rightly send packages to each other without filling in forms," he said.
"Today's agreement delivers smooth-flowing trade within the whole United Kingdom, protects Northern Ireland's place in our union and safeguards sovereignty for the people of Northern Ireland." Politicians at Stormont would be able to have a say in which EU rules they continue to follow via an "emergency brake" mechanism."We've amended the legal text of the of the protocol to ensure we can make critical VAT and excise changes for the whole of the UK, for example alcohol duty, meaning our reforms to cut the cost of a pint in a pub will now apply in Northern Ireland," Mr Sunak added.
There are also question marks over what Boris Johnson will make of it. The former PM looks to be making a comeback by cranking up the pressure under his ex-chancellor and could try to lead any resistance to a plan.Conservative former minister and staunch Brexit supporter David Davis gave his backing to the deal, describing it as "a spectacular negotiating success".
