Rishi Sunak working 'flat out' to restore Northern Ireland Executive

Rishi Sunak says he is working "flat out" to try and restore the Northern Ireland Executive to functioning but has cautioned that people should not expect an imminent breakthrough.

The Prime Minister was speaking on his first visit to the nation since taking over at Number 10.

Mr Sunak said: "I am really committed to resolving some of the issues with the [Northern Ireland] protocol, protecting Northern Ireland's place in the union, in the United Kingdom, and in doing so, restoring the executive.

"That is what the people in Northern Ireland need and deserve and that is what I am working flat out to try and deliver."
