The UK’s leader has been negotiating with the European Union to replace the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Customs checks and paperwork for goods coming into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK began after Brexit.

Pro-British Unionists say this weakened Northern Ireland’s position in the UK and refused to take their seats in the power-sharing government in Belfast.

The new deal – the Windsor Framework – plans to make trade easier.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it’s a “decisive breakthrough” and a new start for relations with the EU.

European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen says the deal will allow both sides to begin a “new chapter”.

So is Brexit now finally done – or will there be further objections?
