to do it is at a public way today in grimsby was not necessarily...k she was trying to reach out to the population and say in her mind mps they represent their constituents. but we know the vote was not that huge one way or the other. clearly, brexit one. but clearly this country is extremely divided. what i thought was interesting was michel barnier it said to the camera that he is not interested in the blame game but he is interested in is a result. this very much echoes and i spent a bit of yesterday with the french minister for of yesterday with the french ministerfor european of yesterday with the french minister for european affairs. and she very clearly said yesterday to a law of the french business community that really there was a deal that was struck back in 2017 and for the last 12 months, there have been spent over the backstop. so there will is a frustration not in france only but across the other european countries and disbelief and sadness and frustration that is coming tonight so badly. i did not know what can be done over the weekend.

the door has been opened in terms of the possibility of a delay, theresa may has been speaking in grimsby would lead to a moment of crisis if mps reject her deal. there are people out there who think that would be a wonderful thing, they don't want brexit to happen but as far as the government is concerned, still sticking to the line but it needs to be delivered. thank you. more than 50 businesses in northern ireland have written an open letter to mps urging them to unite behind a deal to leave the eu. they warn that a no—deal brexit would have a damaging impact on the local economy and political stability — and urge them to compromise. among the companies that signed were bombardier, coca—cola and queen's university belfast. the uk will remain in "pole position" after brexit, when it comes to technological innovation, according to the chancellor phillip hammond. he's expected to unveil plans for a £200 million in investment in cutting—edge scientific research during his spring statement on wednesday. our business correspondent rob young has the details. new technologies are shaping how w

we have the speech from theresa may yesterday, in grimsby, where 70% voted to leave in the referendum the gauntlet to the eu and effectively to them, if this deals deal goes down and mps do not vote for it, it is kind of your fault. but the speech became more nuanced. there was some of that stuff in there but she also said to the eu, this is the last minute, the vote on tuesday is the meaningful vote on tuesday is the meaningful vote and the deadline for doing stuff is now and not at the end of the month, and she had a similar message to members of parliament. this is what she had to say. we are both participants in this process. it is in the european interest for the uk to leave with a deal. we are working with them, but the decisions the eu makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote. so let's not hold back, let's do what is necessary for mps to back the deal on tuesday. yesterday, michel barnier, the chief negotiator, did something that is unusual. he sent out a series of tweets about the ideas that the eu had put on the table this week. these wer

she said last week in her speech in grimsby that being aligned with the eu on workers' rights would meani hope they never would, but if they chose to reduce those minimum standards, it would not compel the uk to lower its standards. it is important to clarify that point because i'm sure the prime minister would have no intention of misleading anyone when she said it. however, being aligned to those standards means that if the minimum improved the uk would be compelled to improve and indeed i would want us to go much further than the eu many workers' rights. he and i share concerns about how we protect workers' rights as we move forward and leave the eu which i know he respects because he respects the outcome of the referendum in 2017. the general election of 2017, but also the referendum in 2016. two public votes that came to the same outcome. does he not agree with me that when we voted on the deal in january what we did not have is an assurance that in moving forward in this house we would have the opportunity in the future by law to make sure that if the european union raised standard
