thank you to james cleverly.rman smith is outside number 10 this morning. we have had the list of tariffs and there is another vote later. what's there is another vote later. what's the latest developments from where you are? mrs may is now briefing her cabinet as they try to pick up the pieces after last night's shattering defeat. the thing that strikes me, the signs are that mrs may has not given up on her deal. even though it was another colossal, catastrophic majority against her. she seems convinced that her deal remains the only and best deal available. that means she may indeed try to bring it back for another go. i think the view of those around her is that last night a number of brexiteers, yes, they did come on board, even some of her predominant seemingly die—hard opponents like former brexit secretary david davis, kamath the hour, they voted for the deal. the european research group is a lot more squidgy and soft than some people might think. and people might have to come to terms with the fact that b

ja mes the conservative party, james cleverly. james cleverly, the prime minister has lost twice.at has dominated her administration, but she has lost. why did she not announce her resignation tonight? because the prime minister has made it clear that she regards this as her professional duty, to deliver the brexit that people voted for in 2016. she inherited thisjob. it was not a task of her choosing, but she has embraced it and she is going to work to deliver that. the statements she made in house made it clear that she made in house made it clear that she is committed to honouring the referendum result. if it were easy, it would be sorted out by now. it was never going to be easy and she has continued to do the right thing. could you tell our viewers when there has been a time in british politics when a prime minister has lost on such a crucial vote, by so much, twice, and not resigned? we have not been through a situation, andrew, where we have been extricating ourselves from the european union. these are unprecedented times. the 40 or so yea rs unprecedented times. the 40 or

measures could lead to smuggling across the irish border, conservative party deputy chairman, james cleverlyheoretical chance it could happen, but said customs checks by the irish authorities would reduce the risk. there is a theoretical chance but you have to remember the republic of ireland is an island and in order for people to smuggle things into the uk through the republic of ireland they have to get it to the republic of ireland. they have a professional and effective border control policy and so whilst there isa control policy and so whilst there is a theoretical chance, it is something that is modest and intelligence led customs checks by the irish authorities i think would dramatically reduce the risk of that. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says the risk of a no deal brexit has never been higher. speaking to the european parliament in strasbourg, he said that the eu is ready for all eventualities. if the uk still wants to leave the european union and wants to do so in an orderly fashion, if that is still the intention of the united kingdom then this treaty which we nego

we were speaking a wee while ago to the deputy chairman of the conservative party, james cleverly, aboutuld be. the nature of negotiations mean the things people said were cut and dry at the beginning of the process, for instance we were told we would have to have an off the shelf solution, we would not get a bespoke agreement, we are now finalising a bespoke agreement. we were told northern ireland would have to stay pa rt of northern ireland would have to stay part of a customs union because of the border with the republic of ireland. we are now looking at a whole uk solution. the eu have shown themselves to be pragmatic and willing to move. we know that we are very, very close to where we need to be. a small additional movement can unlock a lot of the people who had concerns about the backstop and get this deal through on tuesday next week. 0ptimism from james cleverly. i have to say that optimism is not shared by everybody. number 10 sources admitting the talks had been rough, predicting that they will go to the wire, which potentially means we will be looking at sunday night, monday

later in the programme we'll be speaking to the deputy chairman of the conservative party, james cleverlyucation secretary which has been denied by the department for education. head teachers are writing to 3.5 million parents, in areas from cornwall to cumbria, to warn them that schools are not receiving adequate levels of funding. they say that it means fewer teachers, bigger class sizes, cutting out some subjects and having less support for children with mental health problems. some schools have said they might have to close early on fridays to save money. and parents have been asked to make donations. head teachers are quoting the institute for fiscal studies which says per people funding has fallen by 8% since 2010. the letter to parents also accuses the education secretary damian hinds of refusing a request to talk to them about budget shortages. the head teachers are angry at a response from officials, saying that the education secretary did not have time to meet. but the department for education says that this is unfair and that mr hinds readily meets teachers and unions and it is
