Summary
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, alongside the European Union president Ursula von der Leyen, announced details of the Windsor Framework this week, a deal he's hoping will put an end to the past six and a half years of wrangling to an end. So is the Brexit hurly-burly done? Has the battle been finally won?
Joining Christopher Hope in the Red Lion to chew the fat is former Brexit adviser to Theresa May, Raoul Ruparel, on how this deal differs from its forebears.
Plus the DUP's Sammy Wilson returns just days after last talking to Chopper, to explain why he wanted more than "sausages, solar panels and spaniels", and why he thinks the King will regret being present. And Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker on why he thinks this is the best deal to be done - but that he isn't celebrating until the DUP are on board.
