"As someone who comes from an Irish background, I hate the way Ireland is being used to try to scupper Brexit" - Brendan O'Neill

Author Brendan O'Neill said recently "as someone who comes from an Irish background, I hate the way Ireland is being used to try to scupper Brexit". He joined Vinny this morning along with Irish News journalist Allison Morris.
