Speaking to Eamonn Holmes on the new right-leaning broadcaster GB News (@GBNEWS), the Conservative Brexiteer criticised the “unfortunate” lack of “communications” between the Tory leadership and the DUP on the matter.
He was speaking amid expectations of a deal between the EU and UK being revealed later today.
