Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Emanuel Center on an evening where it's not much of an exaggeration to say that the fate of the entire

0:23.6

Brexit project is hanging in the balance. Even as we sit here tonight, number 10 is trying

0:31.6

to get some last minute breakthrough to Theresa May's deal to see if she can persuade the House to vote for her

and unlike George Eustace, intends to vote against the deal tomorrow.

1:53.1

And we have James Forsyth, our political editor,

who will be able to do one of those today program things

1:58.6

where he tells you what the politicians are actually saying at the end.

2:01.6

So please welcome our panelists this evening.
