Shaun Woodward, who served as Northern Ireland Secretary between 2007 and 2010, has said we could "slip back" to The Troubles.

He told LBC presenter Clive Bull that it may just be "that we all really disagree with each other."

It will actually be people losing their lives."

He then told Clive: "That is a terrible risk for a British prime minister to take."
