Rishi Sunak is set to agree a new deal on the Northern Ireland protocol this weekend after gaining new concessions from the European Union
Downing Street said that the Prime Minister had made several "positive breakthroughs" in talks with Brussels, according to the Telegraph.
A deal could be signed as early as Sunday and presented to Parliament on Monday. Tory MPs were ordered into Parliament on a three-line whip on Monday, while Cabinet ministers were reportedly on alert for a possible conference call over the weekend. Any announcement of a deal is expected to set up a possible clash with Conservative Brexit hardliners. Mr Sunak has promised that the House of Commons will be able to "express its view" over any deal, which he hopes will get the Democratic Unionist Party to restore powersharing in Northern Ireland.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly indicated that ministers will not sign off a deal over the protocol until the DUP's concerns are addressed.
