Gordon Brown calls for Brexit powers to be handed to the UK's regions
He's said that more must be done to keep the union together
The powers of Brussels must be transferred to the UK's regions to stop the country breaking up after Brexit, former prime minister Gordon Brown said.
The ex-Labour leader told an audience in Westminster how Boris Johnson's slogan of "getting Brexit done" was having the impact of "leaving Britain undone".
He said: "When you think of Brexit getting done, it is leaving Britain undone and at the same time you are destabilising the relationships between the different interests of Irishness and Britishness, and putting at risk the whole of the United Kingdom.
"The danger is we have Scotland first, England first, Wales first, and so on in the United Kingdom."
The former chancellor added: "We have to rediscover, in my view, the value of empathy, not enmity, between nations.
"We have to rediscover the importance of cooperation and not conflict."
