a moment we'll speak to adam fleming in brussels, but first, our chief political correspondent, vicki youngwning street. theresa may's big sell is under way but the odds are stacked against her. yes, and this cabinet meeting is still going on after two and a half hours. we know in the past she has had to sell it to her own cabinet but i think the plan is to focus on the practical, focus on the pragmatic and get away from westminster, if you like, and talk to people about how her deal, as she sees it, will help theirjobs, how it delivers freedom of movement, how it. the large payments to the eu. focusing on peoples real lives rather than the analysis of a legalistic and quite tense and dense text that we have had so far. labour mps will be pretty crucial to this as well. they are being invited to briefings by the prime minister's chief of staff in the house of commons, trying to win them over and one cabinet minister said to me that the message to them would be that this is about the national interest and not the self—interest of one party or another. it is about the future of the country an

our chief political correspondent vicki young has the latest from westminster.the big decision day, it'sjust being deferred all the time, and there is a reason for that. theresa may knows whatever decision she makes, there will be many in her cabinet and makes, there will be many in her cabinetand in makes, there will be many in her cabinet and in parliament who would be happy and that is the problem she has reached now. we have had the former foreign secretary boris johnson today calling on the cabinet to mutiny. we know that many of them we re to mutiny. we know that many of them were unhappy back when that so—called checkers deal was agreed by them, but many of them now have told the bbc that they had deep reservations about it and that is the problem. listening to penny mordaunt there, a eurosceptic in the cabinet, it is clear that people like don't necessarily think what they're being offered at the moment is really respecting that referendum result. another eurosceptic conservative backbencher had this to say earlier. it is an open secret that there are fi
