UK's Gove: EU could use Irish border issue to hold UK hostage over Brexit – The Telegraph

The British newspaper, The Telegraph, reported comments delivered by Britain’s Environment Secretary Michael Gove, as he expressed his concerns over the UK unable to secure a customs deal with the European Union (EU) at a private dinner of Tory Eurosceptics.

Gove warned the EU will use the Northern Ireland border issue to "hold us hostage" and keep the UK in the Single Market and Customs Union.
