Brexit papers leak unravels claim that Irish border not impacted

Commenting on the leak of the EU's Brexit position papers, Tom Brake, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson, said: "This leak demolishes another of the Leave campaign's fantastical claims - that Brexit would have no impact on the Irish border. "As long as the Government push for a hard Brexit, no end of 'blue skies thinking' will find an innovative, frictionless solution to the border issue. "The only solution is to keep the UK in the Single Market and the Customs Union.  This will ensure that prosperity and peace in Northern Ireland is maintained."
