Brexit: Theresa May defiant with 'best deal for Britain'

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 16 November 2018

Six ministers have quit the British government over Theresa may's Brexit deal - but the Prime Minister is vowing to fight on. She's just given a defiant news conference, insisting that her deal is the best on offer and promising to stare down her critics within the party. Her Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab, and work and pensions secretary Esther McVey were among those resigniung today - and there could be more to come. And the chair of the backbench group of pro-Brexiteers, Jacob Rees-Mogg, is calling for a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. The Telegraph's Brexit correspondent James Rothwell talks to Susie Ferguson.
