Rishi Sunak and Ursula von der Leyen have agreed a breakthrough deal to improve post-Brexit border arrangements in Northern Ireland.

A senior Government source told the BBC: "An agreement has been reached. The deal is done."

The deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol was finalised at a lunchtime meeting in Windsor between the Prime Minister and the President of the European Commission.

Mr Sunak and Ms von der Leyen are holding a press conference before the Prime Minister then travels to the House of Commons to present his deal to MPs early this evening.

MPs will not vote on the deal this week. The Prime Minister is expected to delay the point at which the Commons has its say until MPs have had sufficient time to pore over the legal text of what has been agreed.
