at the government's decision to double fuel prices. you know we are in a fight for the soul of public education teachers in the second largest school district in the u.s. and a loud message in a way that's not been done in three decades. hello with less than twenty four hours before a key vote on the u.k.'s deal the prime minister is urging m.p.'s to take a second look at the agreements tourism is facing likely defeat one parliament decides on the divorce agreements she's negotiated with the e.u. . no it is not perfect and yes it is a compromise but when the history books are written people will look at the decision. the.

people will look at the decision of this house tomorrow and our days we deliver on the country's vote to the the european union. we safeguard our economy our security and. the british people down so what happens next well if she loses the vote to resume will have three days to come up with a plan b. and deliver britain's next steps to parliament by january the twenty first she could ask parliament to vote again on the deal after seeking further reassurances from the e.u. but time is running out and leaders have made clear they're not willing to renegotiate she could ask the e.u. to delay breck said by a few months or even seek to drop the country's plan to leave a second referendum is possible but would need the support of a majority in parliament the labor party has said it will call a vote of no confidence if may's deal is rejected and that could lead to

a snap election but without a resolution the u.k. will crash out of the e.u. on march the twenty ninth without a deal so no hope looks at the options facing the u.k. . thirty three less than eighty days to go until briggs's day and the old in favor of britain actually exiting the european union on march the twenty ninth lessen by the day or. two and a half years since britain voted to neve the country is run by a government that lost its majority in an ill judged election going on to secure a deal with brussels that by prime minister to resign may by many others critics see it as a surrender of british sovereignty a trap binding britain. to the e. hughes customs union i know this is not everyone's perfect deal it is a compromise but if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good we risk leaving the region energy. and while the prospect of no deal was demonstrated with

a fake traffic jam by the department of transport who promised long queues and lengthy customs checks it u.k. borders others in government of warned of grave consequences if the p.m.'s deal is voted down what is more likely if this deal is rejected is that we have the risk of paralysis and. when that happens no one and the government says that would destroy the public's faith in democracy not that there's much of it around we are closer. than ever. hell will freeze over before she gets that deal through parliament how do we get out of this mess or. just accept world trade organization leave almost no deal and britain will be fine this is a deal world trade organization is a deal it's a deal the whole world these are extraordinary times in the history of this ancient

democracy a country bitterly divided a government clinging to power by its fingernails and a parliament that doesn't seem to want the deal on offer but current agree on very much else and an opposition leader himself a lifelong euro skeptic determined to do what the e.u. says it won't renegotiate the brakes deal but first jeremy called in must also pull off the near impossible when a vote of no confidence in the government forcing a general election i can think of no greater example of democracy in action than for this house to reject a deal that is clearly banned for this country. the uncertainty could mean delaying the u.k. . exit from the bloc extending its article fifty notice period and that would be the very moment when those in favor of a second referendum unlikely to strike campaigners for a so-called people's vote believe the time is close when britain will have no other
