Rishi Sunak answered questions in parliament today, 8 February, before Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the House.

Mr Zelensky is also due to speak to Ukrainian troops.

Mr Sunak attended the weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions following questions on Northern Ireland.

The parliamentary session took place after the Supreme Court ruled that the Northern Ireland Protocol - which creates a trade border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK - is lawful after a challenge by a collective of unionists and Brexiteers.

The protocol became effective in 2021, shifting customs and regulatory checks to the Irish Sea and creating new red tape on the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Trade in the region remained subject to particular EU Single Market rules.

Lord Stephens said the appeal was “unanimously dismissed” on all grounds.
