Responding to the announcement of the new Northern Ireland Protocol deal, Scottish Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Home Affairs, Justice and Northern Ireland Alistair Carmichael MP said: 

“We welcome the opportunity to take the time to read this deal, but we hope that it will be a step forward - bringing much-needed certainty and stability for Northern Ireland’s economy and society.

“The Conservative Government was responsible for this mess in the first place. It shouldn’t have taken years for them to get to this point.

“Rather than do the responsible thing, it looks like Conservative MPs would prefer to fight amongst themselves. It’s like we’re stuck in Groundhog Day. It’s time for them to put country before party.”
