Institute for Government comments on Windsor Framework

Article summary

The Institute for Government (IfG) has commented on the Windsor Framework, highlighting that putting it into practice will need continued cooperation between the EU and UK. Writer Jill Rutter has touched on how the framework is an improvement on Boris Johnson's previous Northern Ireland protocol deal. Rutter also highlights that an agreement usually involves some kind of compromise, however, in this case, the UK has gotten nearly all of its asks and that the framework goes a long way to solving problems created by the original protocol, but also retains benefits of access to the EU single market. The comment has ended with a note that hard work is still required to make this work.
