Martin and Sunak meet for British-Irish Council summit in Blackpool as ‘mood music’ improves
“We want to see meat on the bone, the mood music is improving, we now need to translate that into a resolution, an agreed negotiated resolution between the European Union and the United Kingdom,” he said.
The fact elections in Northern Ireland had been postponed created an opportunity for talks to take place between the EU and the British government on the protocol, he said. Mr Sunak held separate meetings with Ms Sturgeon and Mr Drakeford, before sitting down with Mr Martin on Thursday evening. Earlier in the day Mr Martin attended a reception with Irish community organisations in Manchester, as well as a meeting with Labour Party mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham.
