to the prime minister, urging her to rule out leaving the european union without a formal deal. let‘s talk now to the former universities minister sam gyimah, who quit his government post last november in opposition to mrs may‘s brexit proposals. good to see you. thanks for being with us. we now know the vote scheduled for next tuesday will go ahead as it stands. 0ne suspects you will be voting it down. what would have to change between now and next tuesday for you to vote for that deal? well, as you have rightly pointed out, the prime ministersdeal is likely to be defeated, i believe, and it deserves to be defeated. the northern ireland backstop, which is the one aspect of the deal the prime minister has focused on, is still very much in place in the withdrawal agreement. whatever mandate the referendum was, it was not a mandate to break up the country, which is essentially what the backstop does. that is only one problem with the prime ministers deal. the big

problem is that what we do, we pay 39 billion, surrender our voice, our veto and our vote, and then in return for best endeavours. none of the big decisions have been made. those will be negotiated further down the track, and during the negotiation, 27 countries can veto anything that we want, so we are setting ourselves up for failure, and it is a negotiation that would make the uk poorer and less secure in the pursuit of our national interest. that is why i will be voting against the deal. all right, so it does not sound as if there is much the prime minister can do between now and next week to change or mind. surely, though, voting down her deal takes us closer to no—deal brexit, it? voting down her deal takes us closer to no-deal brexit, it? is a no-deal brexit is the default option at the end of the 29th of march. but there is no plan b, so if you voted down, thatis is no plan b, so if you voted down,

that is where we are headed. there is no plan b because the prime minister is playing chicken with parliament and the eu to get her deal through. there are many other options available to us as a country, and i believe that as public servants, to be put in a position where we have to vote for a deal that will make our constituents poorer just to deal that will make our constituents poorerjust to avoid catastrophe is not the way we should be doing business in parliament. we have boxed ourselves in with a number of red lines, and i think that what we should be looking at his other alternatives. yes, you say there are other options. borisjohnson suggests a no—deal brexit is actually closest to what the british public voted for. you clearly don‘t agree. well, every week, we get a re—brand of what a no deal is. we are told that if they managed no deal, we are told it is a wto brexit. all of these slogans. none of them have a plan on which we can

chart a course for our future as a country, but what we know for certain is that there will be disruption, what we know for certain is that the economy will take a hit, and it is the border will suffer most. no deal is not a plan. we are in this situation as a country at the moment where we are having drills at our ports when there is not even next in —— there is not even an external threat. we are doing this to ourselves, and i believe we should step back from the brink and look at a range of other alternatives. no deal is a terrible idea, but the pm‘s deal does not work for the country. we do not have time for other options, do we? you‘re going to have to stall and put that on hold before you can think of anything else. that has got to bea think of anything else. that has got to be a prerequisite, isn‘t it? think of anything else. that has got to be a prerequisite, isn't it? on the current timetable, article 50 is likely to be extended even if the pm's likely to be extended even if the

pm‘s deal gets through parliament, because of the delay from last december, we have wasted a month. the prime ministersdeal will in all likelihood go ahead next week, but we are heading towards an extension of article 50 anyway, and i believe if that is where we‘re heading, we should take the opportunity to look other options on which there can be a cross—party other options on which there can be a cross—pa i’ty consensus other options on which there can be a cross—party consensus to get a dealfor this a cross—party consensus to get a deal for this country. so what is the other option you would lean towards ? the other option you would lean towards? the honest truth is, we have got a hung parliament. in a hung parliament, there is not a majority for any other option. some mps once norway. i wonder tested. some want a permanent customs union. we should test that. what do you want? i think where we're going to end up as getting the people back into the process by a second referendum, because parliament is not going to be able to decide on this particular issue. so you want to put the question back to the public? you know the questions

concerning what that could mean in terms of the divisiveness of that, and you still believe that is the only way forward? a new set of questions, new referendum. what i find strange is that the same people who tell is that the club order brexit so lets us get on with it are the same people who say people are going to take to the streets if you ask them a more informed question. now, i share the anxieties that as a country we haven‘t got a track record of referenda like canada and australia, for example. the last one was a singular, traumatic event for us. was a singular, traumatic event for us. but we now know a lot more about what is negotiable with the eu than we did last time, and i think what has not happened is the political leaders have not levelled with the people on all the trade—offs that brexit involves. we have proceeded as though we can have our cake and eat it when it comes to brexit. the public have not been involved at all

since 2016, and i believe that is why it we now have a deal that nobody likes, leavers or remainers, and getting the public on board could be way forward. very briefly, anna soubry, your parliamentary colleague in the conservative party, she believes in a second referendum another referendum as well. a lot of debate about the way she has been treated in public by people who oppose this particular position, and we have shown some of the pictures 110w we have shown some of the pictures now of her being back by some people on the street. very quickly, your response to that? well, i think the police should look into this. i think these are organised elements. i don‘t think these are ordinary members of the public will stop as british people, we are tolerant, open and decent people. these are not the ordinary members of the public, so the police should be got involved. but there is one thing about politics. very briefly. there will always be disagreement, and i think that civility is important, that we treat each other with

respect. thank you very much. i‘m sorry we ran out of time there. now, the weather news. hello again. for most of us, pretty dull and cloudy day, but the weather has brightened up in scotland behind this cold front that moved southwards, all tied in with the deep area of low pressure that has brought some strong winds to the north of scotland. top costs so far, 65 mph around the wick airport area. it will stay very blustery across the north of scotland through highland aberdeenshire, 0rkney and shetland over the next few hours, before those winds slowly calm overnight. it will be a windy night across the uk. the wind. the frost from forming for many of us, despite that the skies will be clearing through the night. the exception to that, parts of southern england, wales and northern ireland, where we start the day on a cloudy note on tuesday. tuesday is much brighter, with more sunshine. more showers the northern scotland, but otherwise, essentially dry. with the sunnier

skies come lower temperatures. it will feel cooler in pressure, high is between 7—10, cooler in the wind. katty: you‘re watching beyond 100 days. president trump will fly down to the us border with mexico on thursday to highlight what the white house calls an immigration crisis. christian: the announcement comes on the 17th day of a us government shutdown — with no sign it will reopen anytime soon. katty: mr trump wants money to build his border wall before he‘ll reopen the government. top democrats say that‘s immoral. actor kevin spacey has appeared in court in massachussetts, accused of sexually assaulting a teenager. he‘s pleaded not guilty. christian: also on the programme... raise a glass to brexit. the prime minister is tonight hosting a new year‘s drinks receptions for conservative mps. the deal itself remains on ice. and if you are the worst example of a backseat driver, then 2019 has something for you.
