TUV leader Jim Allister has accused former Irish premier Leo Varadkar of “partitioning” the UK during the Brexit negotiations by insisting “on the border being pushed where the IRA could never push it”.

Mr Allister warned against “nice, fuzzy sentiment” between the UK and Ireland, saying relations between the two countries included “malevolence to the detriment of Northern Ireland”.
