Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister has accused former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar of “reinventing himself” over comments he made about Irish unity.

Emma Little-Pengelly took a swipe at the former Fine Gael leader after he said that Irish unity would become “centre stage” if Reform leader Nigel Farage was elected British prime minister.
