Ulster Unionist Party Leader, Robin Swann MLA, said:
“In the additional time that has now been granted, I urge that all sides in Parliament engage and co-operate to ensure that the wrongs that would have been foisted on the people of Northern Ireland through Boris Johnson's deal are corrected.
“The Prime Minister has demonstrated that his word is certainly not his bond. If the DUP should learn anything from this debacle, it is that they should never rely on the word of Boris Johnson. They were warned on several occasions. While they were feting Boris Johnson on the national stage, they took their eye of the ball and he mugged them. In doing so the Prime Minister was able to produce a deal which is hugely damaging to the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom.
“If the Prime Minister is in anyway sincere about serving the best interests of all four corners of the United Kingdom he should be engaging all the parties in Northern Ireland.”
