Image: PA Image: PA THE UK HAS risked further antagonising the European Union by responding to legal threats over the Northern Ireland Protocol by refusing to fully implement the post-Brexit agreement.

The PA news agency was told that the response said the UK would continue with the current approach of not forcing retailers and exporters to adhere to all the agreed checks.

It is unclear if she will be meeting British Prime Minister Liz Truss while in London, although Truss is expected to hold some talks with political leaders during their visits.
