The Northern Ireland Protocol keeps the Irish border fully open, but imposes checks on goods moving from Britain to Northern Ireland.

The UK government wants to override parts of the treaty it signed in 2020.

But the EU says this is unlawful and is threatening trade sanctions.

Mr Rees-Mogg told GB News the EU's view on the protocol was of "secondary" importance, and that the UK was entitled to change arrangements.

But the Republic of Ireland government said the UK was "deliberately deciding to breach international law".

In December 2020, the UK and EU both signed up to the protocol.

Designed to preserve peace by avoiding the reintroduction of a hard border in Ireland, it involves customs checks taking place on goods travelling from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) to Northern Ireland.

This is because items may then continue on to the Republic of Ireland, which is still part of the EU.
