however by hook or by crook and some assistance from the labor party leadership the government held the line albeit with a little blaring at the edges however breaks it lets to fight another day but the feeling of impending crisis is growing and the ante begs that forces may get overwhelm the prime minister today to examine these forces in question whether they can halt the brakes at bus first stop as the house of lords the watchdog of the constitution has been barking decisively on the brakes a bill with a series of key government defeats in the upper chamber here's a taster of recent debate. on proposed amendment creates a formal structure set out in law for parliament to express its views in all of the various outcomes that might come to pass in our exit from the e.u. it is in the national interest that palm should not be faced by just to take it or leave it but that's not just some arcane interest as a lot of ordinary citizens who would be hugely home to including those who voted for purchase it the lords have had the ball into the commons with the government's

parquet this majority has only been sustained by some flexible promises. and some convenient abstentions from labor alex asked former dynasty spokesman and anti bracks campaigner alastair campbell to assess the situation. kumble the prime minister sub only by the house of lords the basic committee rebellious by. the scots of the belling as well just solve the irish question so i was just all prime minister. i think she does have a. quality of resilience and she does seem able just to keep going on as the one thing giver. but also i think the conservative party in this place is the so divided that i don't think anybody can work quite what would happen next should she fall should she. fall just because the politics drive for the vote of confidence in that is going to happen but i just think people are worried about. on both sides so

you got the one thing up in the tree for you know this three parties always had this sense of kind of his own survival really care about who the leader is as long as the party survives and i think they understand that i think is a bad thing because she is driven so profoundly by the idea of holding the service past to gether and i think her party sort of gets that the pressure outside parliament is the people's vote campaign is that coming to a head electrifying that most fear or are people across the country as confused and divided as the parliament is there is no doubt the public are confused are divided just as this place is i think the one thing that the government is really trying to play on and with some success is this sort of fatalism let's just get on with it and i think the thing is really important to understand is that let's just get on with it leads to in my view the country doing the wrong thing under considerable

cost i wanted light to happen as a people's vote on the deal. because it's so different to what was promised we know so much more than we did and i see more and more people are just thinking you know why are we doing this when we three appears clear that it's going to damage just for some time to come. a government which is having some difficulty defining a meaningful vote for them. to the people. if you if you speak in dreams may now and in watching observing you say no however i think that what's happening. with two years on from the referendum that's half of the limpia at the next world cup will be almost ready by the time that you've had the time that we've had to sort and as you say we still haven't sort of the irish question so i think anything can happen i really do and also i honestly think from the labor party's perspective as well i think the labor party actually said you know what we could to this every which way there's no way this can be done without damaging. the people

that we represent and if we turn on that i think maybe go home and drawn election is at the moment this government. useless as it is divided is incompetent as is their head in the polls they attempt this week to make make it reality for the. double decker bus promise and the health service how do you assess that as a political move i think is extraordinary i think i mean the one thing i think we're in a completely different era in politics i mean you annoy both been accused of many many times of kind of you know pushing the truth being too hard being too aggressive whatever but this is something of a completely different order this is where people knowing something to be untrue knowing something to have been exposed as being untrue feel the confidence to be able to go on television and say asterism a it's not a lot about boris johnson what you want to reason may and i think i'm afraid straight out the sort of putin playbook is basically whatever you say that is the

truth at that time and the actual factual situation kind of doesn't matter now i think it's a very dangerous game to play and i was very i was genuinely surprised to trees and i played it. thank you very much. now the opposition has difficulty uniting but then so is the cabinet the last two weeks have been full of more foreign secretary unpleasant resignation however the government can depend on one set of reliable allies the democratic unionist party access leading d.p.m. pisani will send whether that support with unconditional. sammy was a welcome to the alexander i'm sure the prime minister doesn't have a problem to see she's got the house a lot of the rebels not by dividing the scots are revolting but only friends of the day your p conditional is your support well as you will know all support in the house of commons is conditional. blank check to the goldman board or indeed to

anyone they're working with and we have made it quite clear that as far as we're concerned our support is conditional on northern ireland being treated the c.m. as the rest of the united kingdom where unionist party after the warning shot across the bows last christmas when she was trying to get a deal and seem to be departing from that principle are you convinced the prime minister is no foully on board what you require to think that first of all last christmas was an indication to the prime minister that our support is conditional on the i think we probably rescued her from her own folly at that particular time because of course she hard saying up to something which would have had implications not just for northern ireland and scotland would have been saying what. differently we had to see it might come in the referendum as. we want a different treatment on long than would have said the c.m. her whole strategy in shambles since then of course i think the prime minister is

cognizant of the fact that she needs our support she has made promises in the house of commons. north i will not be treated differently and i think if one looks at her arrangements for the backs. which is a huge k.y. arrangement it's an indication that she will not make the same mistake again or two years and after the referendum the still doesn't seem to be a definitive solution to the question of a frictionless border between northern ireland and the public do you think that solutions in sight or do you think it's going to elude the prime minister well i think that the solution was in sight a long time ago it wasn't that there wasn't a solution the question is is there the political will on the part of the european union and the irish government to adopt a solution which allows for a frictionless border and you know it's hard view that the border between northern ireland are some public is actually quite easy to sort out the real issue for the

irish should be how do you make sure that you're not cut off from your memoir can be or not. bridge across. europe disrupted. a solution unless by some marks and either she decides step dying or she finds a very massive vote against or. which people haven't dr leigh planned for i think that he will survive but it will be i'm sure she's getting up every morning wondering what of myself and for nails or wouldn't be too many of them left i suspect that she wants to survive and she probably will allow society also thank you so much for the interview and i were to meet her at the government didn't have enough problems i knew semites last week as the s.n.p. parliamentary group boiled over about what they see as a power grab and promise to play pi now with westminster bricks that alex spoke to

s. and p's tommy shepherd and cummins how will the ins about the threats to break set from the other celtic nations i'm joined by tommy sheppard from the scottish national party and hope williams asserts on the committee for ply coverage it can be shut. are you really upset about this or is it a parliamentary game some sort of pantomime that you were acting out last week no games here i like this stuff that really affects people affects the people i represent and of course last week the reason why we made a protest was because we were denied for my first time in this parliament we were denied the opportunity to even discuss major proposals that will affect the lives of the people i was elected to represent if i'm unable to do that then i think i'm feeling in my political responsibility to the people who voted for me to not protest about it and i hope the government learned its lesson from the shenanigans of last week and it won't try and do that again but having said that i very much doubt it. liberates that committee which again is not being friendly to the

government but should assessment of the debate this week about what represents a meaningful vote for members of parliament when the negotiations are done and dusted for the government's meaningful seems to be a bit elastic clearly they've changed their minds a number of times but the people who are promoting this very clear is to the store . to parliaments to the house of commons something that people campaigned for when they wanted to leave the would be in the union and eventually it comes down to if the government fails and if they can see with the mess that they are doing of the negotiations and if we're likely to come out without to deal then eventually the house of commons love to assert itself and give the governments a bit of direction the details guidance not the details orders that are seen to be posted in the press and by the government itself but the general direction so that's we can try to make some sort of success of this dreadful mess that's within

some stage over the next few months do you think the opposition forces the people who are skeptical of it breaks or just directly opposed to it are they going to manage to combine behind a single killer amendment to hold the government to it's up to the labor party to a greater extent. very constructive talks going on between the various parties involved from the greens the s.n.p. played and also be from the labor party liberals and also from the conservatives we're all in there talking but occasionally that is not pursuing the sea as there was last week last going into the technical matter but we could have had the votes we might have defeated the governments and labor that decided to put forward their own amendments which some people couldn't couldn't supports and the venture to test themselves as most is for themselves and that is really counts in the some people argue that jeremy called them at the end of the day as an all time great city of himself and he's not going to put the parliament in the position of defeating

blacks even if it was to bring down the government well indeed you and i know him from many years experience and he's a very straight sort of a chap in many ways and clearly he is here and he's holding his party with him the majority of them i think in favor of a soft boxes as soft as you can manage but he's determined to deliver to the government what he really wants i think is a very hard field when some people think back to ninety ninety one trying to say after the break we'll be continuing this discussion about the prospects of parliament and i was speaking to people. commentator and host of the prime minister can defeat all opponents i went through at the end of the day join the same.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to win the death penalty just because they think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to present them that we want even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

to. put it off. i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out and. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chimes for. the base this minute. welcome back i'm speaking to the scottish national party from.

the committee when i was saying that he thought that gemma carbon and these borden's of these water. but and the rather convenient for you to lump the the blame on the labor party leadership i mean surely it takes two or maybe more than two to tangle and you've got to make concessions. amendment to hold the government to task well we've just got to hope that jeremy corbin carbon hates the tories more than he hates the other social democratic parties in europe you know maybe maybe he'll come to that realisation i hope so but also it's the historic role in the constitutional role of the opposition in this parliament to oppose the government so he has had many opportunities to do so and hasn't taken him because he's trying to square splits inside his own party and i understand that i accept that but when we get to the final home straight in this long tortuous process of the e.u. withdrawal i think at some stage labor has got to declare themselves as not

supporting the government i when they choose to do that in the united basis all of us will be behind them in the lobbies on that one and i think there will be the realistic prospect of inflicting serious serious wounds in the government strategy there one of your colleagues told me last week suggested that the people about to play part male westminster. who brought the westminster parliament to its knees and procedural towns in the nineteenth century and pursuit of violence home rule. is the house of commons able to. be on that or have they been tightened up since the days of but now you're in the wind. well well i couldn't answer that question until we had a trial and to be honest but i would say this that i mean i think it has been a lot of people going into hyperbole about what happened last week and it being the a new strategy by the s.n.p. actually what happened last week was a. a spontaneous and an instinctive reaction to our leader being expelled from the

house of commons and we took the not unreasonable view that if our voices cannot be heard inside the chamber then we will make sure that we will have been heard outside the chamber and we actually tripped over to this very green and in the space of about two hours got more press coverage than we've done in the previous year and now the london media and the political bubble here they know there's a problem with bracks to do with scotland and they were you do recognise that before it was a one off or you're planning a strategy well as a set on the side of politics if there were to be a strategy i'm sure one of the components of it would be an element of surprise so i would be disinclined to talk to you about it on television however let me make the case that i mean the the s.n.p. has always taken the view that we will do anything we can and use any means at our disposal to advance the interests of the people who elected us to come to this place sometimes that means working the procedures even with their limitations and other times it means making extra parliamentary protest it's not a matter of one or the other is finally the irish question i this board

a question still seems insoluble do you think the proceedings of the breaks that committee has anyone come up with an answer that support the house of commons well the short answer is no and there's a complete contradiction here in the north of ireland this government's wants essentially an open door. complying with international treaties but the whole rhetoric of the leave campaign was to lock the door in dover now you can't have two sets of enjoyments within one country and if i was a burglar i'd probably get on the back and through the back door just say generally one of the two large questions which have been build the conservative party under this over the last couple of hundred years is very basic question and then the european press in the genius government as we have now to support the problems down both of the same i don't know the money is this but seen of the reaping the effects of that's unfortunately now and so was the last of the of all countries are

suffering because of it but without fascinating insight into political history thank you so much carol williams and of course tony shepherd. so little sign of help from the prime minister from the celtic nations is that away flew for to the semi for one man who says that there is this peter oborne the political commentator peter welcome to the examiner shield i know very much the prime minister she is like a wagon train so i ended by hostiles she's got the house of lords the committee rebellious backbenchers divisions in the cabinet the scots some revolting and islander still hasn't been solved how can she possibly solve that breaks that conundrum. what she's doing be doing remarkably well so far i mean every commentator in the land has risen or off endlessly we've had these one crisis after another where all the experts say she's about to be. out and so far she's in a very difficult circumstances then i think rather a smart balancing act but it's more than just a question of surviving i mean beyond prime ministers or leading just staying there

is there any saying that she can lead this divided party in the direction she wants to go. so far she's done exactly that a minute the way i read it and made that may be other ways of doing that but it is that she's determined has been from the starts navigating what in the colloquial is called the soft basically britain remain part of some kind of single market and some kind of customs union you go remember there are hundreds of civil servants from europe and from britain working industriously to make something like that happen and you know we're going to produce this soft breaks it the prime minister has to veer between the skill or of the remain as and the. might might and the opposite side of the current of the of the brakes it is and every day you read a fresh attack on

a saying that she's finished and she can't lead well i say to them is that she's still there and it's still on course so in a way you suggesting she's almost done. dividing our own cabinet so she can she can get hard line through the middle as it were then about the liberal it is divided isn't it between a small number boris johnson michael gove may be although he looks a bit coin a phrase perfidious if you ask me. and probably one or two others and on the other side you've got. you've got a bulk of weight of remains and i think she is trying to navigate a path in my reading of she and i admire this i mean it's a very major thing breaks there are car workers in the northeast of england you want to keep them in their jobs you want to keep those car plants going that the european markets working she's under enormous attack from the. six years for the wanting to do the deal with your but i think she's actually being quite sensible

but it's about four high wire act as a time in any point they opposition could unite behind a killer amendment and then the prime minister's position would be untenable and that actually would have happened by now in my reading of the situation but for the fact that labor is more committed to break see the labor leadership to be more exact is much more committed to breaks it than the conservatives and that's why john may call been again and again if rather than go and kill off the government is somehow keeping it going and the labeling to carry on what happened last week when he refused to join in the anti government more. ed to the day if the chalices they have to topple a prime minister to force an election on any the constitutional duty of the opposition leader is to to want to be prime minister and to and to bring down government when you say that and i agree with that and it's perfectly honorable. to

do that john smith did this kind of thing over over maastricht twenty five years ago and now. warbling is doing the exact opposite. of john smith he's withholding the dagger in order to keep the break to project afloat that's my reading of the situation but those are a lot of things not just many a slip can happen we know in the art of i mean there's a huge number of unsolved questions in the can has been kicked down the road and numerable some point leads matters are going to come to the touch is it possible for the prime minister to continue to pursue the evil day if she keeps on perspiring things i think she may have to. pay a very heavy price for that i mean we just reading today that the final deal may not be negotiated until the seminar that's free months before you know we leave the european union in other words and it was originally meant to be in

a gambit negotiated by this month and so there's going to be a period of chaos and that is i think the moment of maximum danger for the government when she comes back from brussels with that final deal and it goes to the commons and that is when she might indeed be defeated so you see the prime minister definitely maneuvering to come back to the commons for a deal do you think at that point the congress might throw it over or try to for a while probably she would probably she will get it through but it is obviously there are going to be honorable principle people on both sides of the argument though again to do what is not normal in british parliamentary politics which is to vote against their own party on a higher principle. if you thought the various times in the last hundred years the european question and the irish question of the sable governments of the day though this prime minister is wrestling with both simultaneously you know can she possibly

survive that. well somebody would have said this eighteen months ago they were saying it eighteen months ago twelve months ago she has survived. i'm not carin certain that she is going to continue to survive by the way but i think she's been people are very contemptuous about this prime minister. and yet she's still there it's carrying on and i must be that breaks it somehow is going to take place. royal ascot this week he's the prime minister was a favorite one of these races would you back up to stay the course. i think in particular in one of the long distance races like the road the two miler later on this afternoon you might manage in those six furlong races that she might fail to get over thank you so much thank you very voting. so here we have it

a prime minister some rounded on all sides by problems and difficulties caught between the european rock and some real hard caseys among the black city and indeed the remaining m.p.'s does she have us be the robot and suggests a grand strategy to divide the opponents why she comes through the middle with a soft blanket policy or is the general view correct the she actually can't make up our mind what to do and even if she did would probably not be able to command a majority to pursue it we're going to find out reasonably soon because the clock is ticking she can read many times over the last year but she's still there she's still in office perhaps the reason is that she's the prime minister that most people dislike the least a recipe for survival but not much of a political legacy from me that myself and everyone here. goodbye for now.
