When the deal goes down tonight, what we then need to see…
Thank you, thank you very much.
Hi Suella!
Thank you, welcome!
Deep breath, I know! I am going in.
Get me out of here, this place has gone crazy!
A clean global Brexit is perfectly viable.
A natural remainer, in a leave seat.
The will of the people so called, can change and has changed.
You think about what's gone on before us in Westminster,
Churchill, Disraeli, Mrs Thatcher …
Do you enjoy weeks like this?
This is what it was all about, actually.
You know, this is grown-up politics, this is where the stakes are high.
I've had to resign from my ministerial post to vote against the deal.
I am being moved out.
I am going.
There's a pile of things I want us to keep, I just put it on my desk.
I've been a loyal Conservative for about 20 years
and it's very out of character actually for me
but I have no option.
It's an unacceptable deal.
Hiya, how are you?
Not too bad ...
What's your opinion on Brexit?
What's it all about?
There you go.
That sums up most people's opinion.
I know everybody's fed up of it but it's still going to happen,
something's going to happen and nothing is going to be as good as it was.
I think the problem is …
I mean, that's the worry for people like me – how can I vote for something
that isn't as good as what we've got now?
Absolutely.
I think everyone jumps on the immigration bandwagon, 'immigrants, blah blah blah'.
But I think they're missing the point, we're not saying 'kick everybody out',
we're just saying, we can only have so many in.
Yeah because, you don't hate …
No, of course I don't, I mean …
I mean …
You know that nuance never ever comes out.
The majority of British people voted to leave
but unfortunately, there is a majority in parliament
who doesn't want to leave.
How do you feel about being in coalition with someone like Caroline Lucas?
Well …
I mean, I never thought I would be voting in the same way as Caroline Lucas
but she's a very principled lady.
And I'm very principled so we are both following our principles
and if they lead us to the same place, so be it.
Good morning!
Thank you!
Welcome to you!
We want People's Vote!
When do we want it?
Now!
She's a traitor to our own people.
I think that's quite harsh.
I mean, I am not here to defend Theresa May but I think that treachery is maybe a step too far.
Me and hundreds of thousands like me walk for miles and miles and miles
handing our Brexit posters out.
I don't vote for a political party …
So if I wanted another referendum, would you still vote for me?
Well, yeah, because you're the best one to help.
I bloody love you, John.
You know, what he was saying about Theresa May being a traitor,
is, I think … I want to pull some of that language away,
I don't like it, I think it's part of the problem in the debate.
But just because he says that, and he says it so firmly,
he's not going to take to the streets
and turn against his neighbours in the event that we have another referendum.
Absolutely not.
Breaking news this hour, Theresa May has told the House of Commons
that she will postpone the vote.
The vote will be pulled.
If we went ahead and held the vote tomorrow, the deal would be rejected.
The vote is definitely on.
Alan Duncan, as a member of the government, what do you say?
Ah!
(laughs)
Is that it?
Now we've had the vote, we can't have another one!
Oh, right!
How does it work? How does it work?
Tell me where I get my information from.
That you're information is correct.
But I don't believe your information.
Well, I don't give a fuck.
Only Jesus Christ can save the United Kingdom.
What the hell is going on?
We don't even know which days we are meant to be voting on,
or what might happen, or anything.
This is the country we are talking about, this is not just my schedule
and how it's annoying I won't know when I get to go back to Birmingham.
I don't know what's going to happen to the country.
And so that … and the atmosphere in here is like …
everyone just asking that question
and trying to find out as much intelligence from the next person as you can.
So now, only, what is it, 11 weeks away
from the date when we could be crashing out of the EU
and yet we're no further forwards.
She is talking up the fears of a no deal
but having said that, no deal is very, very scary, you know?
So it's really hard to work out, you know, what's really going on.
I did have a lovely Christmas holiday
and nobody talked to me about Brexit, I have to say.
Do you think the brinksmanship will work on some of your colleagues?
I think, not on some of my colleagues,
I think it will work on some of her colleagues
and still, as always, Theresa May only knows how to talk to people like her.
Sure, OK.
Hi.
Nice to see you, hello everybody!
Full house.
I'm going to have my lunch, is it all right?
That's absolutely fine.
Bar something dramatically changing in the next seven days,
I can't see that deal getting through parliament.
I then want the government to get us ready for a no-deal scenario
so that we can leave the EU on clean global Brexit terms.
And so we can have a clean global Brexit.
Every single Brexit deal would make this country poorer
and we say no!
We will not be blackmailed into accepting her dangerous blindfold Brexit deal.
You've got to give some credit to the People's Vote campaign.
Every week that we've been failing to decide in Westminster,
the People's Vote becomes much more of a likely option
and much more of an attractive option.
But it's a bit London, isn't it?
Sort of London-centric and a bit posh.
But then, those who want to leave the EU,
the ones who run the Vote Leave campaign,
they're a little bit London-centric and they're very posh.
You do feel sad because I'm going to do something
that I never thought I would do, actually, in my career.
I came into parliament, I'm a relatively new member of parliament,
I'm a team player, I want the conservatives to do well and win,
and, for the first time, I am going to be voting against
the government, the Conservative government.
I am going to be rebelling.
(laughs)
Great, OK.
See you.
Bye.
See you.
(laughs)
This is one of those big Commons occasions where the atmosphere becomes absolutely electric.
The ayes to the right, 202,
the nos to the left, 432.
Yes!
People's Vote, People's Vote!
I'm speechless to be honest.
In my wildest dreams, I didn't think it would go down with that degree of defeat.
So to lose that by 230 votes is just extraordinary.
I mean, this absolutely is a massive step forward now towards a People's Vote.
Leave means leave!
Possibly this night was the night that we saved Brexit from the jaws of defeat
because this deal was not Brexit.
EU!
Here, tensions will fray,
where I live, leave and remain voters live perfectly happily side by side,
in the same bed in some instances.
What happens next, I have no idea!
