and getting the democratic unionists to back her deal is seen as the key to all this?p the conservatives in government owned up to now they have said they do not like theresa may's deal with the european union. for the government it is round three of the government it is round three of the persuasion game ahead of the third vote expected next tuesday. today the dup went into see senior government ministers, including the chancellor philip hammond. they were there for several hours and insisted this was not about money but about reassu ra nces this was not about money but about reassurances on the tricky issue of the backstop and a role potentially for the northern ireland assembly if the backstop was ever activated. but the backstop was ever activated. but the dup are necessary, but not sufficient for the government to win on this deal. they have to persuade dozens and dozens of conservative backbenchers. two of those who have opposed the deal up until now, including esther mcvey, described it today as both rubbish and obnoxious, but they might vote for it in the end b

ok, so the democratic unionist party are p°ppin9 the democratic unionist party are p°pping up the democratic theresa may and their ten mps have been really crucialfor popping up theresa may and their ten mps have been really crucial for her in getting legislation still in the past few years and they do not like a brexit deal they have made that very obvious, they have actually been really quiet until it has really mattered and they have not voted with her. today we saw some quite interesting movement on this, the dup are having talks with theresa may and also, they roped in the chancellor, phillip hammond into these talks and thatjust prompted my speculation that the dup about to ask for a huge cache package and it might be one that is delivered if they can get behind them and secure those votes. so yeah, the dup got, is it £1.5 billion out of the treasury last time? they have had money already. —— cash. treasury last time? they have had money already. -- cash. the agreement will be up in a few months time and needs to be negotiated, something i think will be on both party's mines. one thing

but a problem.re is a major the democratic unionist party, whose support s needs from say they still back her. as we mentioned, it was the ieime minister's announcement she would leave eathan expected if her deal goes through that grabbed a great deal of the attention today. here is the reaction from some lawmakers who were in the room. and steamy in there. quite a lot of emotion. quietk it was m with respectpe by 30le in the room. >> i'm slightly irritated and ably even more irritated the price of supporting what i think is a good deal and inging this to a conclusion is based on personality rather than around principle. i think that is unforgivable. jane: thankfully, we are joined by amanda sloat, senior fellow at the brookings institution. let's start with theresa may's offer to resign rather bizarrely if she succeeds in getting her brexit deal through. it looks as if that is not going to happen. amanda: right, many things haven been contingenhis deal getting past with her offer to m.sign just being one of t theresa may need to 75 mp's to back her deal to me given the numbers that

however, it appears that the democratic unionist party of northern ireland, the crucial ten votes thatds to help effectively get this withdrawal agreement through are still not willing to support because of the issue of the backstop. that is the alignment of northern ireland with the customs union, the eu, and potentially some divergence between northern ireland and great britain. that is something they cannot put up with. that is something they cannot accept. and, therefore, it is hard for the prime minister to get this withdrawal agreement through. it already appears that whenever you announce you will have a vote on this withdrawal agreement the next one is already flagged as well. it appears cabinet ministers, design is reporting this, have already been talking about a potential fourth vote next week. no! if it looks like the numbers are not there to get that through at about 2:30pm today. what will she do, split into four? this was the challenge. this was meant to be the end but it will be an ongoing process. i have to say, people do feel confused and worried and slightly, sometim

the calculation being that groups opposed to her deal from the far right of her fogey to the democratic unionists in northern and even some labor m.p. she'll need labor on the side as well a number of them will simply decide that as much as they don't like her deal they like no deal much less and that enough of them at the last possible moment with a gun to their head essentially will come on sides and vote for you good stuff turn to hell in westminster thank you off we go to brussels. now don't we heard him talking about him as well trying to show how. he's patient he is and how patient the european union has been but that patients would surely start to wear thin as we get closer and closer. well look i mean i think there's there's just a general level of open mouthed astonishment at the european council and the european commission and in those european union countries most directly affected by all this that syriza may appears to be at this point in the process deaf dumb and completely blind to what they've all said to her that they would only grant her a meaningful extension if she were to come
