YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Rishi Sunak's Northern Ireland "triumph" will "massively empower" him against Boris johnson - Rachel Wearmouth.

Rishi Sunak has agreed a deal with the EU on the Northern Ireland protocol. He has hailed this as a “new chapter” in relations, but will he reap the rewards?

Anoosh Chakelian (anoosh_c), Freddie Hayward (freddiejh8) and Rachel Wearmouth (REWearmouth) discuss the “Windsor framework”, as the deal is known, and what the DUP and hardline Tory Brexiteers will do now. They also debate whether Labour will be forced to drop its “Make Brexit Work” slogan.

Wearmouth argues that the EU were "more willing" to do a deal with Rishi Sunak than Boris Johnson, which has allowed the current PM to "defeat" the former on this issue.
