what do you say the options are, ed vaizey?arliament yesterday which allows parliament to express its will, assuming she loses this vote on tuesday, which i think is significant. bernard doesn't think it is, but i think it is. it will be first—come, first—served. the most realistic alternative to what theresa may is proposing is the norway option, joining the european free trade association. which means we will be in the single market and paying contributions to the eu and not controlling our borders. how is that leaving the eu ? not controlling our borders. how is that leaving the eu? it gives us, minimises the impact onjobs that leaving the eu? it gives us, minimises the impact on jobs and people advocating the norway option regard it as a temporary stop before we move to the free trade deal. people forget about theresa may's agreement, even if it is passed, it gets us out of the eu as painlessly as possible before we negotiate free—trade arrangement with the eu. the norway option is similar. it is the most credible one and h

grant shapps and ed vaizey, there. earlier we heard from sirgraham vaizey, there.e minister last night. i think you can draw from the fact that she was keen to move ahead swiftly, to resolve matters, you know, i think she was keen to get on with herjob and get on with the business of government. clearly, having massive speculation about whether or not there would be a confidence vote was unhelpful. also, having a protracted period between the announcement that a vote would take place and that vote taking place would have been a very difficult time, not conducive to getting on with the job. i think it is entirely in keeping, i have to say, that she was keen to proceed swiftly and get matters resolved. that is sirgraham that is sir graham brady, who is also meeting the prime minister this afternoon. the foreign secretary jeremy hunt has been tweeting this morning that he is bucking theresa may tonight, being prime minister is the most difficultjob imaginable right now in the last thing the country needs is a damaging and long leadership contest. brexit was never goin

joining us now are the conservative mps ed vaizey, who's a vocal supporter of mrs may, and peter bonerity of backbenchers did. so the result was very damaging to the prime minister. she said after 2017, disastrous general election, that she would only lead the party while she had the support of the parliamentary party, clearly, substantially she does not have that. for those people who don't know... i voted for the prime minister. by one of the backbenchers who supported her. are you pleased with the result in terms of the proportion? and delighted. she wanted those of the vote. listening to peter talk we live in a parallel fa ntasy listening to peter talk we live in a parallel fantasy land. he is saying it is 52- 48, it is parallel fantasy land. he is saying it is 52— 48, it is very important we listen to the 48 and perhaps we could have a compromise and get through on brexit. but of course his attitude and his colleagues know it is my way or the highway. mrs may has an emphatic majority, even though we only got one third of the vote they say she has resigned. there is no compromisin
