the british justice minister rory stewart there backing theresa may's deal.o convince british voters? the bbc‘s olivia richwald has spent the day in skipton, in the north of england finding out what some voters think. skipton in the yorkshire dales is a prosperous market town, attracts plenty of tourists, and votes tory blue. but in the red lion pub, it was time a sunday at lunch and a chew over the brexit deal. it might be pleasing both sides, and that's what she is trying to do. she's tried to please everybody, and it will not be a good deal for either side. it looks unacceptable, and if enough brexiteers have left the cabinet because it's so bad, then theresa may and all her remain colleagues are just pushing it through, it looks awful. in the referendum, 53% of people here voted to leave the eu, similar to the national result. among them, zoe venn, who has lived in the town all her life and helps to run the family canal business. i think it isjust dragging on a bit now, i think they could just do with getting the deal done, and then, we can move forward.

rory stewart, justice minister, thank you for joining me >> thank you. >>> it is an uphill battle to get this deal approved, as we've just heard. here's what the opposition leader, jeremy corbin, of the labor party said today. >> the prime minister may have achieved agreement across 27 heads of state, but she's lost support of the country. many young people and others see opportunities being taken away from them. many people who voted remain, voted outlook looking and inclusive society and fear this deal and they fear the rhetoric of the prime minister in promoting this deal. likewise, many people from areas that voted leave feel this deal has betrayed the brexit they voted for. it does not take back control. it will not make them better off, and it will not solve the economic deprivation that affects far too many communities and towns and cities across this country. this deal is not a plan for britain's future. so for the good of the nation, the house has very little choice but to reject this deal. >> and then what? allistair campbell was spokesman an adviser to tony blair. he's a f

let me ask you the question —— rory stewart —— that laura kingsburg asked the predator, who is pleasedgsburg asked the predator, who is pleased with the steel? i am pleased with this deal —— this deal, because it delivers on the referendum result, also keeping us close to europe. i think it is the best possible ref —— brexit deal you could have come and many of the people who are opposing it either wa nt to people who are opposing it either want to deny the brexit referendum happened and remain in europe, or those who prefer to have no deal with europe. but it is tricky to sell a deal on the basis that it lacks the freedom of movement, which was a issue for many who voted, but not the only issue. it wasn't the only issue, but it is a deal that accepts that as we negotiate over the future that if britain wants to divert more from the eu and its customs arrangement, they will have consequences. in other words, customs arrangement, they will have consequences. in otherwords, it customs arrangement, they will have consequences. in other words, it is a dynamic arrangement being proposed, an

we can speak to thejustice secretary rory stewart, you' re speak to thejustice secretary rory stewarts for goods to the single market which is vital to our economy. how do you react to the four resignations we have had so far today? it is dangerous, damaging, and they've made a mistake. this is a deal which is very sensible, which delivers what brexiteers voted for and at the same time protect our economy, so it reassures same time protect our economy, so it reassures remainers same time protect our economy, so it reassures remainers worried about the economy added provides brexiteers above all with control over immigration. if there are more, what does that mean for mrs may's position? resignations are was risky for a prime minister but my belief is this is a good dealfor the country and that is what the prime minister believes also. these people are missing the basic point which is the alternatives are either a no plan, no—del crash out, which will be catastrophic for everything, or an attempt to try to redo the entire referendum which will also be catastrophic. this is a sensible,

earlier, the justice minister, rory stewart, told me why he's optimistic mps will vote through theresaeal. there are very few people who want that deal. and there are very few people at parliament who want to rerun the referendum. then you're talking about a deal. and that deal is going to look very, very like this deal, so in the end, i think, sense has to prevail. because actually the people who are pushing for no deal arejust so small. but what about the idea that there may be people who had been holding out, thinking "well, we'll go with it because we can maybe make some tweaks"? we've heard very clearly from europe today that there are no tweaks to be made. the deal is as it stands, and the idea people might vote it through in the hope there could be a bit more renegotiation, that is not up for grabs. no, and it's not reasonable, because in a negotiation of this sort, you have an individual, the prime minister, negotiating with over 20 other member states and the european commission. so it is not a situation where 650 people in parliament can amend and tweak in the way with uk dom
