the morning after her second breaks that secretary dominic robb resigned saying he could not support the deal because despite this the prime minister has a marriage more determined than ever you want the microphone this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the national interest and i'm i going to see this through yes but others remain unconvinced surely now even you have to admit this is not strong and stable you know m.p.'s have been debating the best way to deliver bracks it ever since the referendum took place in two thousand and sixteen and there's be much criticism throughout time of the government's approach people have been ready to point out what they don't like but one simple fact remains and that is that nobody has produced any alternative proposal which both delivers on the referendum and also ensures that there's no hard border between northern ireland and ardent thank you. as members of her own party continue to seek a vote of no confidence in prime minister me many people are asking if her kramer ship can survive. in a tunnel two million we just heard her state

vote of no confidence she lost a number of key ministers including the bricks at state secretary dominic robb yet still be dissuaded this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the national interest and i'm i going to see this through yes thank you to resell me an iron lady or a tragic figure. john interestingly enough may receive some grudging tributes this week even from her critics how do you see her as a historical figure what will the history books write i think she will be presented as a prime minister trying to do the best in a very very difficult situation leading a divided party where she has been trying to balance what the party needs on one hand of what she thinks the country could manage to live with on the other hand it's not a job pervert's anyone. you wish on anyone it's very very tough ultimately i think she will probably because i still think bracks will fail i think she will probably go down as the prime minister who brought threats it's a failure. but ultimately is there anything else she could do than the way that she's behaving at the moment she's actually playing

the first and biggest blow was dominic robb quitting after only four months as burke said minister but we do need to change and he's not the only one thinking this way resistance is coming from within may's own party reducing the chances of the agreement being voted to parliament it's eighty four in all it's going up by the hour will vote against it is therefore mathematically impossible to get this deal through the house of home. and if that wasn't enough may might be facing yet another challenge jacob riis smaug a vocal hardline bracks a tear submitted a letter of no confidence against the prime minister but what we mean is a leader who will say to the european union it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union this is not wretched this is a failure of government policy it needs to be rejected this is nothing to do with this may respond to the chaos with another press conference demonstrating determination and dismissing calls to step down if we do not move forward without agreement nobody can know f

to back as i said i wouldn't be surprised if we get other people walking today let's talk about dominic robb the break that minister resigned today was in this position for four months how significant is that that he has stepped down and you know we saw again as you said after five hours yesterday that she had emerged with the backing of her cabinet wasn't really thinking about this over night. well cain it was he decided to have to interrupt you alex as it looks like theresa may is thinking oh let's listen i don't introduce my right arm girlfriends the members for issue and walton and chatter and. delivering bricks it involves difficult choices for all of us we do not agree on all of those choices but i respect their views and i would like to thank insisted sincerely for all that they have taught. mr speaker yesterday we agreed the professional terms of our exit from the european union set out in the draft with broad agreement we also agreed to broad terms of our future relationship in an outline political declaration president has now written to the president of the european council to rec
