PM saved in a vote of no confidence by the DUP - but #Brexit deadlock as May and Corbyn set red lines

Jan 17, 2019, 10:00 AM

Saved by the DUP. Theresa May survived a motion of no confidence in the government last night. The Prime Minister would have been defeated without the help of her confidence and supply partners. After the Commons vote Mrs May said she now wants to work on a cross-party basis in order to see Brexit through. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said that ministers must first rule out no deal. So this is the question we're asking this morning - has Jeremy Corbyn scored an own goal by refusing to meet the Prime Minister? Or is it a principled position to save the UK from what some say would be a disastrous crash out of the EU? Vinny spoke to BBC NI political editor Mark Devenport, and got the views of Herman Kelly - director of communications for the EFDD group in the European Parliament and a campaigner for Ireland to leave the EU - and Labour party member Phil Kelly.
