PM may use laws to dump Irish protocol
BORIS Johnson has threatened to create legislation letting the UK rip up a key part of his own Brexit deal.
The Prime Minister risked a fresh confrontation with Brussels by vowing to “fix” the Northern Ireland protocol.
He said: “The protocol really does not command the confidence of a large, large component of the population in Northern Ireland. We have to address that, we have to fix that.
“We think we can do it with some very simple and reasonable steps.
“But as I have said many times now we don’t rule out taking steps now if those are necessary.”
The protocol is designed to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland.
