Summary

Adam Boulton and guests discuss another dramatic week in politics which started with the deferral of the Meaningful Vote on Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement with the EU, progressed into a confidence vote among Conservative MPs on Mrs May's leadership and culminates in further discussions with the EU about the Irish backstop. So, with accusations of kicking the can down the road ringing in he ears, the Prime Minister looks likely to be politically live and kicking for some time to come (or at least until Christmas). Adam hosts in Brussels alongside Sky's diplomatic editor Dominic Waghorn and they're joined in Westminster by Sky's political corespondent Kate McCann and the Head of Sky Data, Harry Carr. #Brexit #MeaningfulVote #May #AllOutPolitics #skynews #politics

To what has been said in this chamber and out of it by members from all sides.

From listening to those views it is clear that while there is broad support for many of the key aspects of the deal, on one issue, the Northern Ireland backstop, there remains widespread
