Unveiling the agreement at a press conference, he triumphed: “We’ve amended legal text of the protocol to ensure we can make critical VAT and excise changes for the whole of the UK.
“For example on alcohol duty, meaning our reforms to cut the cost of a pint in the pub will now apply in Northern Ireland.”
