British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesperson stated on Friday that the government is hoping to reach a deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol from the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union as quickly as possible.
"As the prime minister said before, of course he wants to have a broad range of agreement over the issues we know the protocol is facing," the spokesperson told reporters, stressing that "we continue to work closely with our EU counterparts."
No. 10's comments came after Leader of the Opposition Sir Keir Starmer stated the Labour Party will support Sunak in case he faces opposition from the so-called hardline Tory Brexiteers over agreeing on and going through with the deal with the EU.
