Good morning from the News Letter

In print and online today:

* The Brexiteer former UK government minister Lord Frost urged the government not to be weak in its negotiating approach over NI

* There was fresh reason to believe the UK is nearing an EU deal over Northern Ireland after Liz Truss failed to reassure unionists at an NI event at the Tory conference last night.

* An emergency department consultant has appealed to the public for help to ease hospital pressures after admitting his staff are facing “dire straits”.

* Diane Dodds says it is “ludicrous” to expect that people from the wider Protestant / unionist / loyalist community are going to get involved in an Irish unity body created by Sinn Fein, particularly given its IRA associations.

Opinion:

* Morning View: London seems to be moving towards an NI deal with the EU

* Comment: Four key reasons why unionism in NI should be upbeat

* Letters: For all his apologies to Ireland, Steve Baker still has a wrong to put right for unionists

* Letters: Unionists are fed up with listening to Tory hard talk on the NI Protocol
