Michael Gove hints at major Brexit concession to 'glide path to deal'

Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said the agreement by the UK-EU joint committee on the Northern Ireland Protocol meant there was a "smoother glide path" towards a potential trade deal with Brussels. He told Sky News: "People wanted to make sure that, first of all, there was no border infrastructure on the Northern Ireland border, but that also that Northern Ireland can be a secure part of the United Kingdom. "We've agreed that. As a result, some of the measures we were putting forward, which some in Europe had criticised, we no longer need to introduce and that means that there is a smoother glide path towards a possible deal."
