Description

Will Sunak’s new deal with the EU solve the vexed issue of a customs border in the Irish Sea? Can the “Windsor Framework” finally bring the rancorous Brexit debate to an end? How will it work? What about the “Stormont Brake”? And what’s in the small print? 

To examine the Windsor Framework the IfG’s Jill Rutter and Jess Sergeant are joined by special guests Georgie Wright of the Institute Montaigne, John Campbell of BBC Northern Ireland and Sam McBride of the Belfast Telegraph. 




“This deal gives business most of what it was asking for.” – John Campbell



“We can’t be certain of how the deal will work but it’s a hell of a lot better than the previous one.” – Sam McBride



“There’s trust for Sunak in the EU that just wasn’t there for Boris Johnson.” – Georgie Wright



“You do have to ask, how much are UK products really going to diverge from EU standards in future?” – John Campbell



Presented by Jill Rutter with Jess Sargeant. Audio production by Alex Rees. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG.
