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. Mr Rennie continued: "I actually think Ireland is the key to this." "That's where the nub comes - the Irish border is going to be the real test. "The time is coming fast when people should have the freedom to refuse a bad Brexit deal," Mr Rennie said.
