Sir Keir Starmer and Simon Harris to hold talks at Chequers

On Wednesday, former Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward said parts of the relationship between the UK and Ireland had become frayed, partly because of policies.

“But also frayed because I think there’s not really been the relationship that there needs to be between prime minister and taoiseach,” he told BBC News NI’s Good Morning Ulster programme.

“At the core of the Good Friday Agreement you have the prime minister and the taoiseach as guarantors of that peace agreement and the policies and the processes that flow from that.

“You really do need an active engagement from prime minister and taoiseach to make that work.”

Earlier this month, Sir Keir travelled to Stormont to meet with the main Northern Ireland parties.

He was accompanied by the new Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn and his chief of staff and former senior Stormont civil servant Sue Gray.
