Senior Government sources last night claimed the Withdrawal Bill (WAB) will be amended to “build the broadest coalition possible”. The WAB will go before the Commons early next week. One concession includes alternative arrangements to replace the Irish backstop by the end of 2020, according to The Sun.
Another concession includes a commitment to regulatory alignment between Britain and Northern Ireland in any trade deal with Brussels.
A Government source said: “We’re not just going to bring it back as it was and hope for the best.”
However, DUP leader Arlene Foster last night demanded the Government to reject the backstop altogether.
In a statement she claimed cross-party talks with Labour had “wasted time”.
