John Bruton urges Britain to stay in EU amid soft border call

Former taoiseach John Bruton has called on Britain to reverse its decision to leave the EU, insisting the vote was based on “invalid” and inaccurate promises.

The ex-Fine Gael leader issued the demand as he claimed a post-Brexit soft Irish border may only be possible if Northern Irish police are allowed to “cross into” the Republic to conduct activities.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio, Mr Bruton said the reality is Britain must choose between “a hard Brexit or no Brexit at all”.
