Border issue is key to derailing Brexit, says Scottish Lib Dem leader

"It's almost impossible to have a close relationship between Ireland and Britain, which is necessary for the Irish peace process, and have the divergence that some of the hard Brexiteers want."

The Irish border issue is the key to derailing Brexit, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has said.

Mr Rennie said difficulties in finding a solution which protects the Northern peace process could sway public opinion towards abandoning plans to leave the European Union.
