Brexit minister says there's still 'a big gap' in talks with EU
Tory Brexiteers have told the Government that Northern Ireland must have the same Brexit freedoms as the rest of the UK as they push for shops in the province to be allowed to sell goods in pounds and ounces. The Government announced in September that it is looking at allowing UK shops to sell fruit and vegetables in imperial measurements as part of a bonfire of EU red tape. But the Brexit divorce deal reportedly means that Northern Ireland will have to stick to the metric system of grams and kilograms. Talks between Britain and Brussels over improving the Northern Ireland Protocol are due to get underway tomorrow and Tory MPs want Lord Frost, the Government's Brexit chief, to secure changes to avoid a 'two-speed UK'.
