Summary

It's another Brexit special as we count down to next week's Meaningful Vote on the deal agreed between the UK and the EU. In the lead up, the Government's been found in contempt of Parliament for the first time over its failure to publish its full legal advice on the deal and MPs backed a call for the Commons to have a direct say in what happens if - as expected - the Prime Minister's proposal is rejected. Joining Adam Boulton to discuss the political and legal implications of this week's events are Sky's Home editor Jason Farrell, the contributing editor of the FT and solicitor at Preiskel & Co LLP David Allen Green and the Head of Sky Data Harry Carr. #Brexit #AllOutPolitics #MakeebatesHappen #SkyNews
