What's the future of the Irish border post-Brexit?

Brexit was high on the agenda at the DUP conference at the weekend and Arlene Foster was clear that the party isn't accepting a border in the Irish Sea.

Brexit was high on the agenda at the DUP conference at the weekend - and Arlene Foster was clear that the party isn't accepting a border in the Irish Sea.

"If this ends with a no deal we won't be putting up the border, they'll have to pay for it because it doesn't need to happen" - the words of Labour MP Kate Hoey talking on BBC Radio 4 - about the Republic of Ireland.

Also on the programme, Ronnie O'Sullivan talks to Stephen about the pressures of snooker.
