British Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove has joined Boris Johnson in warning that Brussels could break up the UK if MPs do not approve controversial legislation to override parts of the Brexit deal.

Mr Gove echoed the British Prime Minister on Saturday in declaring that the EU could put “at threat the integrity” of the Union, and insisted the government could see off a Tory rebellion.
