Jim Allister has warned that the Prime Minister’s reported offer to sacrifice some of Britain’s freedoms in a bid to appease the DUP and restore power-sharing “would make a nonsense of Brexit”.

It follows reports in the Daily Telegraph that Rishi Sunak has pledged to introduce a requirement that would see all new laws screened to ensure they will not create extra trade barriers in the Irish Sea.
