the reality is my erg colleagues are complaining that brexit she's delivering is not the brexit thate they represent expected. there are others saying it is indeed a bad deal and that it shows very clearly why in fact we are embarked on a dangerous course which is going to do huge damage to oui’ which is going to do huge damage to our country. seeing that we had the referendum in 2016, it seems to me to make sense to go back and ask the public if this is what they want. i don't believe there is another form of brexit readily available and one which parliament can deliver. how quickly does the prime minister need to act to stop events being taken out of her hands again, in the likely form next week of a vote of no confidence being called in the entire government? there are some voices within cabinet saying the prime minister needs to put her agreement to the vote next week and for all the different options to be put to a vote so the will of parliament can be ascertained.” certainly can't see why parliament shouldn't be able to conclude its debate next week on the government's deal. ob

i hope that may be the case, because i happen to think the erg have been pulling her ina think the erg pulling her in a direction that is leading to a dead end but we will have to see, there are all sorts of imponderable, what i am certain about is getting rid of her serves no useful purpose at all. and further more she is entitle to my support and i will do my best to give it to her while remaining a critic of the policy which i don't agree with. so you are going to vote for her, do you not worry with her as leader and which this plan she doesn't appear to be abandoning you don't have the support of the dup you don't have a majority. i think that is right, and the dup's position is very clear on the dup's position is very clear on the northern ireland backstop. and thatis the northern ireland backstop. and that is why i am afraid i think that the deal that has been brought to parliament, i don't know what she will be able to negotiate at the european council meeting but i think it is unlikely to get there the house, the sooner we get through that stage of considering whatever deal we
