expect theresa may to survive tonight, sammy wilson?ght, sammy wilson? i think that advantage is on her side. she has the huge payroll vote, and she also has the fact that many people do not know who the likely successor will be, so advantages on her side, but who knows about the outcome. seema malhorta? all the reports suggests she may come through, but i think what is clear is well she is in office she is not in power and we have to move on. parliament needs a vote and we have to move forward to break this logjam. i think i know your answer. yes, my answer. a rare moment of agreement actually! all three think vicky will survive. that seems to be the consensus at the moment, but remember it as a private ballot so what mps choose to do when they put their cross one way or the other will be in private, so anything really could still happen. studio: yes, we will know by nine o'clock. norman, thank you —— joanna: yes, we will know by nine o'clock. 174 mps has said publicly they will support theresa may, but whether that is really encouragi

senior traditional owner sammy wilson's family holds the story of kuniya, the python woman at uluru. that she fought liru, the poisonous snake here at uluru, and signs of that ferocious battle are all around this water hole. for 11—year—old tilly, going to uluru and into the caves, where there are rock art tens of thousands of years old, is a deeply spiritual experience. i felt like my nana was right beside me, and my grandpa, my great—great—grandpa. and ifelt sad, because it was a very long time ago, when he passed, when he did that painting. and is that place a very special place for you? yeah, because we're not really allowed to go in the rock, because we'll get sick, and on that rock, when you step on that rock, you'll get sick because you're stepping on your culture and your dreaming. stepping on the dreaming is what hundreds of thousands of tourists around the world have done. including princess diana and prince charles, when they visited. the indigenous owners have asked us not to show footage of the climb, which is why we're not doing it. when the first known white australian

thanks for joining us, sammy wilson. brexit spokesperson for northern ireland speaking to us there., gavin lee. we started earlier today with the european court of justice we started earlier today with the european court ofjustice delivering an opinion which many people thought was overtly political in itself. tell us about that. the european court ofjustice ruled in luxembourg today that for those who were seeking that if britain decides unilaterally to change its mind on brexit and stop the brexit deal, thenit brexit and stop the brexit deal, then it doesn't have to seek permission from the rest of europe and this was fought by the scottish parliament, mps, meps. they say this means to the public that anybody listening, we can go back, the uk can go back to how it was, getting the rebate, still not part of the schengen agreement, not part of the euro, but i spoke tojeremy hunt early who is here with other foreign ministers in brussels and he said it doesn't matter at all, this vote, and he voted domain, he said if this went against those who had voted for brexit, the 17.a million

earlier, i spoke to the dup‘s brexit spokesman, sammy wilson.nment to publish new legal advice which apparently warns that the uk could be stuck in its backstop agreement on the irish border indefinitely. we supported be humble address in the house of commons two weeks ago, we give our reasons for doing so at that stage and although, i understand that ministers do not like to publish and there is a convention that normally they do not publish, but we are making a decision that will have huge ramifications for our country for the next generation, and have signed an agreement which is a legal agreement and we know how to nit—picking the european union is when it comes to legal agreement so i think it is very important that eve ryo ne i think it is very important that everyone understands what they are signing up to legally and what the ramifications are for the country and specifically of course for northern ireland, how the backstop of the agreement will affect us. in a sense there is no secret about this, you know already and it has artie been p

sammy wilson, thank you for your time. the dup brexit spokesman.ime minister's got my full support, as she has the cabinet's, to try and improve the withdrawal agreement so that we can get this agreement through parliament. it's really important that we deliver what people have asked us to do. we have one deal, it's on the table, i really hope we can get it through parliament. she's not going to get any improvements, is she? don't be a pessimist, let's wait and see. she's putting everything she's got into this, and i think she deserves our full support for trying to do that. thank you. will we get a vote before christmas? i don't know, it will depend what process she makes... what progress she makes, but i certainly hope so, we'll see. thank you very much. i'm joined now by dawn foster — guardian columnist and supporter of a people's vote — and olivia utley from the article and a contributor to national newspapers who backs brexit. good morning, both. let's look if we can at some of the front pages, give us can at some of the front pages, give us y

sammy wilson. and there was more of that in the november summit, which we'll come to later. westminster, there were some important domestic goings—on. philip hammond unveiled his third budget, the first on a monday for 56 years. the chancellor posed for the traditional photographs outside 11 downing street before making the short trip to the palace of westminster. he entered the commons to conservative cheers. philip hammond announced some increases in some public spending, the minimum wage, and tax thresholds. he began by telling mps conservative chancellors had had to make tough decisions in the last eight years but... today, mr deputy speaker, i can report to the british people that their hard work is paying off and the era of austerity is finally coming to an end. what we've heard today are half measures and quick fixes while austerity grinds on. and far from people's hard work and sacrifices having paid off, as the chancellor claims, this government has frittered it away in ideological tax cuts to the richest in our society. the budget statement shows a chronic lack of

let's get the reaction of sammy wilson mp from the democratic unionist party. notjust the paragraph there but it confirms everything we were singing that the prime minister and sector estate had been denying the attorney general has now made quite clear. northern ireland even though we are part of the united kingdom would have to treat the rest of the united kingdom asa treat the rest of the united kingdom as a third country. that would mean trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk which would stop the flow of goods in both ways and to use the terminology would create friction and trade and distort trade. and would exclude northern ireland which is a major exporting area in the united kingdom. it would prevent us from taking part in any trade deals which the united kingdom would make with other parts of the world. when we leave the eu and no i don't think any mp5 and other part of the day and would tolerate such a status for their constituencies and i am sure you can understand why we have objected very strongly and that made it clear to t

was fighting the biggest guns sammy wilson of the d. samuelson this week labor leaders tabled emotional confidence in the prime minister not going to be taken this week but could be taken in the new year is that the democratic unionist party could support no it's not me or being focused it's not on changing the prime minister on changing the government on changing the government's policy it's a misguided policy it's a policy which doesn't martie up to its manifesto commitments to the commitments it's made to the people in northern ireland this is too important for us and we believe that the important thing is to get this they need to feed it to keep as many people on board as possible that means keeping conservative supporters on board and that's what we're doing but no we know if they do you p.c. opposition to the proposal or anything. it contains a back story. differentiation between northern ireland and the west the u.k. no absolutely not in fact we believe that by engaging in these political games would be working on our position be

mind must be, uppermost in the minds of the conservative mps must be the tweets we have had from sammy wilsonhe dup, they can't support this deal, if they don't support the deal and she pledges to crack on with it they don't have a majority. they don't but that doesn't stop them being able to govern. what they are trying to look for a majority to get the deal through, whether she looks elsewhere for the vote, she still has a core of her party who are unlikely to vote for the deal whatever she does so she has to find the votes from somewhere. it won't just be down to the dup. she is sending signals she is going to try again. what she comes out with i don't know. the dup will be playing ha rd don't know. the dup will be playing hard ball, this is their final opportunity to get something happening with this. a no confidence vote stops all of that happening for this as well. we are hearing different things from dup member, jeffrey donaldson says there is not a backstop that is the problem overall. it is not clear what changes the prime minister might be able to secure to bring the dup back onboar

. —— sammy wilson.make you were happy to vote for theresa may's deal in parliament? i think not. i think most people will be dismayed once again on behalf of our country has been slapped down by eu negotiators. i think that also if you look at what has come out of this, it confirms our worst fears. why if the backstop is so inconsequential to the eu, why have they regarded it as a temporary measure, can they not make changes in the withdrawal agreement that would align the prime minister to come back and get us through the house of commons. the reason of course does not seem to be a temporary measure. it is not a something of no consequence, this is a means by which the eu are determined to keep the uk tied to the european union and to defy the wishes of the people in the 2016 referendum. that is why she has come back empty—handed and she will continue to come back empty—handed because it is not over a barrel, they continue to keep it that way. eu leaders here have said again and again until they are bl

sammy wilson is really angry, but it is notjust theresa may reaching across party divides.ote of no—confidence in the prime. there is a feeling of anger out there. they said they had to flush out the eurosceptics, which they have gone mad about this morning. what are your thoughts about a vote of no—confidence in the government? it is the nuclear option. it would be very extreme if that were to happen. it is unlikely, but the fact that the tories are seriously talking about it tells you the level of anger and frustration, because they didn't get their way, did not oust theresa may and she is still in office and still going to brussels to try to save her deal. you would start to see the government trying to make moves to stop that happening. one thing people have suggested she should think about doing is a light reshuffle. for example, how much to move for the comments he made was not she is running out of people to move, isn't she? they would like to see this idea that she is listening. it would be hard to say that eve ryo ne it would be hard to say that everyone who voted
