Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the spectators' daily politics podcast.

I'm Natasha Frays and I'm joined by Katie Balls and Fraser Nelson.

Well, it's Friday, so we're going to look ahead to next week because there's a lot going on in Parliament.

One of the things that will be happening on Wednesday is that Parliament will be voting on parts of the Windsor Framework.

Katie, could you just take us through what parts they'll be voting on and what would be a win for the government?

Yeah, so it's worth remembering.

The reason it does not technically need to hold a vote on the Windsor Framework on the agreement on the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Now, where he to decide he doesn't need to, there's always a chance that MPs could get very hit up and say we're going to force a vote.

But it does mean that it has been very much in the power of number 10 to decide when to have this vote and the form to have the vote in.

So this is going to be quite a simple vote on the Stormont Lock, not on the other aspects, and that will be taken as the final and the ultimate vote on the entire Windsor Framework.

It purposely made a vote which you cannot amend.

So you don't suddenly have groups of MPs trying to tinker around, change parts of a deal that ultimately requires a side that is not within Parliament in terms of negotiation.

And I think also by making it about the Stormont Lock, there is the part of the deal that surprised MPs, I think, on the upside the most.

So the idea that there is an effective unionist veto on new rules when they come in if you had two different parties voting in Stormont.

Now, when it comes to new EU rules, Northern Ireland have to follow.

Now, the caveats to the Stormont Lock is that Stormont has to be up and running for these parties to be able to activate it, and that has yet to happen.

And also there is a question about how much you would really use the Stormont Lock because the EUC has an emergency break for the rarest of occasions, whereas if you are a unionist who is very worried about this idea of Northern Ireland being different from the rest of the UK in terms of these rules, you might want to use it fairly regularly.

And the Westminster Government has to back you too. So, for example, some of the DEP members who are more skeptical of the Windsor Framework.
