The DUP leader Arlene Foster has said her party will “not countenance” any Brexit arrangement that could lead to a new border between Northern Ireland and Britain.
The DUP East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has also warned that any British government proposal to “placate Dublin and the EU” would mean the end of the DUP’s agreement to prop up Theresa May’s Conservative administration.
