Hello and Spike Podcast, I'm Fraser Myers and with me today a Spike Deputy Editor and host

of the Last Orders podcast Tom Slater, Alolo and Spike columnist Ella Wheeling.

Hi. This week on the show, Brexit, Sexual Harassment and Bernie Sanders.

If the House having rejected leaving with the deal negotiated with the EU, then rejects leaving on the 29th of March

without a withdrawal agreement and future framework. The government will on the

14th of March bring forward a motion on whether Parliament wants to seek a short limited extension

to Article 15.

Labour will support or put forward amendment in favour of a public vote. This week MPs voted overwhelmingly for safeguards against the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.

The Cooper Bowl's amendment will allow MPs a vote on whether to extend the Article 50 negotiating

period if Theresa May's deal fails to make it through the House of Commons.

Meanwhile, the Labour Party, following a defeat of its proposed Brexit deal deal is now backing a second EU referendum.

Tom do you want to tell us a bit more about what's been going on in Parliament this week?

Well so everything kind of came to a head this week but probably not in the order in which we thought

it was going to happen I

think it's fair to say the two big questions hanging over the process going into

this week were on the one hand would Theresa May buckle and extend Article 50 to try and take not necessarily just take no deal

off the table but at least change our exit date from 29th of March as is currently

the default to push it back a little bit to play for more time. She came under intense pressure from her own cabinet,

David Gork, Amber Rudd, Greg Clark in particular having been in the papers at the weekend,

effectively saying that they would defy her and vote for an extension if her deal was defeated.

And the other question was what the Labour Party is going to do because it's clear that

their own Brexit offer such as it is doesn't have a majority in Parliament.
