‘We do not believe any progress has been made to alleviate concerns about the Northern Ireland Protocol,’ says the DUP leader

Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP leader, has stated that his party does not believe any progress has been made to alleviate concerns about the Northern Ireland Protocol, and thus will not support the nomination of ministers to the executive.

Speaking to reporters today, Sir Jeffrey said: “We were given a clear mandate in the assembly elections that we would not nominate ministers to an executive until decisive action is taken on the protocol to remove the barriers to trade within our own country and to restore our place within the United Kingdom internal market.

“That remains our position.

“And so today we will not be supporting the nomination of ministers to the executive.”

He went on to say he would “not rest” until the issue was resolved.
