How will Brexit affect Northern Ireland?

Theresa May will visit Northern Ireland to try and get support for her deal

Theresa May will try to reassure people in Northern Ireland that she can secure a Brexit deal that avoids a hard border with Ireland during a visit today. Former Northern Ireland first minister Lord Trimble says a physical border in Ireland could happen by "accident". DUP Leader Arlene Foster tells Today that the current 'backstop' insurance policy to avoid such a border, is "toxic" and "would cause the break up of the United Kingdom".
