"Northern Ireland's Political Deadlock Broken: Government Restored with Sinn Féin in First Minister Post"

TL;DR Summary
The British parliament has approved a revamp of post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland, paving the way for the region to elect a government for the first time in two years. The deal, which eliminates physical checks on goods moving within the UK internal market system, represents a political win for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and follows lobbying from U.S. President Joe Biden. The Irish nationalists Sinn Fein are set to take the First Minister role, while the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is expected to take the Deputy First Minister role in the power-sharing government.
