Bill Clinton has said it is a “miracle” that Brexit did not destroy the Good Friday Agreement, the deal to end political violence in Northern Ireland.

The former US president said Britain’s exit from the EU was “aimed right at the heart” of the 1998 agreement which led to peace and devolution in the province.

Mr Clinton was speaking ahead of the 25th anniversary of the landmark agreement, the pact he helped broker with last-minute talks when in the White House.
