how significant are these comments from sammy wilson?the dup said it was against the withdrawal agreement, and that was one reason why today‘s delayed the crucial vote on her deal. that vote is now about ten days away, coming the week after next. it is disappointing for downing street that there has been meetings with the chief whip and the dup, meetings with theresa may and the westminster leader of the dup, nigel dodds, yesterday, and are comments from brexit spokesman sammy wilson today, all of which are pretty negative. sammy wilson said the dup cannot support the withdrawal agreement as it stands, which means that whenever the sport is held, we think probably the sport is held, we think probably the 15th of the 16th of january, but the 15th of the 16th of january, but the sport once again means that theresa may is facing defeat, because without the dup, she does not have a majority in parliament. —— when the vote is held. sorry to go on —— when the vote is held. sorry to goona —— when the vote is held. sorry to go on a bit further,

the party's brexit secretary sammy wilson said the dup is "more alarmed by what's coming out" regardingr seems to regard it as a "settled arrangement." our political correspondent iain watson is at westminster. jonathan, for those of all things brexit will know that the dup are crucial to theresa may ‘s hopes of getting her deal through parliament but it is not looking likely at the moment, is it? it is not looking likely at all. the dup dup provide those extra numbers in the house of commons to roll out theresa may to get any kind of legislation passed. that is the case with her brexit deal. says it has been agreed, the dup has been opposed, particularly the element that we call the backstop. that is the insurance policy to prevent a hard border between long island and eager public of ireland if a tree deal cannot be reached by 2020. downing st will have helped that mps were reflecting on the chances of the deal getting through parliament and what might happen if it didn't. as mps return to westminster this week, that is no sign that those opposed before has changed the minds. that is

sammy wilson, you're on the wreckage the thing that you think a new deal is better than the steel?hat we were not cut off from the rest of the united kingdom, both economic league and cost usually. —— economically and constitutionally. michael gove had specifically mention that northern ireland would be hit by terrorists ali optically hit you because you have the largest percentage of small farmers in any pa rt percentage of small farmers in any part of the uk. you are not representing those people who are most by this, you? percival, many farmers in northern ireland would welcome a clear break with the eu and secondly, michael gove is now zoning in on northern ireland representatives because he believes that we hold the key to unlocking the problem which the prime minister has. the fact of the matter is that northern ireland, with this deal, will be cut off from its main markets in the united kingdom. we do 60% of our trade the rest the united kingdom. we do 4% of our trade with the irish republic and 10% of our trade with the eu is much more important that we have a deal that giv

let's speak to sammy wilson from the dup.nest that response from the eu is. they have spent two years negotiating an agreement. they have 585 pages of legalese to ensure there is no loopholes by which the uk can escape from the terms of the backstop. they then said this has to be the basis of any future relationship with the eu. and if that future relationship does not suit the eu, they will not release the uk from the backstop. all of that, i think, the uk from the backstop. all of that, ithink, shows the uk from the backstop. all of that, i think, shows that the words of donald tusk in this letter are totally meaningless. and anybody who would take them as a guarantee or and assurance would be very foolish. what about the idea that parliament could say it would agree theresa may's deal, but on the proviso that the backstop solution would expire on the 31st of december, tooth —— 2021? again, you have to consider the nature of this agreement. this agreement will be between the eu and the uk. the amendment would only be a comm

from two mps who are with me now, doctor sarah wollaston, a conservative who voted remain, and sammy wilsonrime minister's plan b sounded very much like plan a. what is she doing wrong, do you think? i think failing to acknowledge the scale of the defeat last week. 230 votes, it is unprecedented. to come back to the commons and maul sa nothing has changed, i'm going back to brussels to try and tweak this, when nobody seriously thinks there will be any changes to the legal text of the withdrawal agreement, the concern from my point of view, just 67 days until we come off the cliff into no deal, is that we are just running down the clock and expecting something to turn up, and i don't think it will. so i'm deeply concerned. apart from of course the very welcome news she has waived the £60 the big brother eu nationals applying for a residency here. you are supporting the campaign for a people's vote, as it's called, another referendum. the prime minister suggested that the demens —— that could damage the social cohesion of the uk. what she mean by that and is it fair warning?|j cohesion of the

comments byjacob rees—mogg over the weekend, and the dup plasma sammy wilson, pointed to by ministersg to come on board behind mrs may's deal, if she can get some movement on the backstop. finally, briefly, if there was to be a delay, brussels isn't just going to accept as a reason for that the uk hasn't got itself sorted out yet, is it? there has to be some other rationale, doesn't there?|j think other rationale, doesn't there?” think that is very true. although it seems as if this motion is likely to get through the commons, whether that will actually result in legislation that forces mrs made to postpone brexit day is another thing altogether. many people question if constitutionally you can do that. there is a question about the practicalities, of how it would be possible to get such legislation through in a single day without people talking it out and also, as you say, whether the eu would be prepared to agree to something u nless prepared to agree to something unless there was a specific reason, and in the face of opposition from the government. 0k, norman, thank you. norman smi
