:03:48. > :03:49.The Prime Minister has said publicly that no deal for the UK

:03:50. > :03:52.is better than a bad deal, but that would mean

:03:53. > :03:58.tariffs on exports under World Trade Organisation rules.

:03:59. > :04:01.My fear is that what this is really about, is us deliberately,

:04:02. > :04:05.that we have no deal. but others deliberately ensuring

:04:06. > :04:07.And no deal pretty soon, and in that event, we jump off

:05:09. > :05:12.eyes will all be on Tory MPs in the eyes will all be on Tory MPs in the

:05:13. > :05:16.House of Commons, they want more verbal guarantees from ministers,

:05:17. > :05:20.the rebellion could well be bigger but I don't think they have the

:05:21. > :05:23.numbers to defeat the Government. Talking to both sides it is clear

:05:24. > :05:27.Cabinet Ministers are confident about getting their way. If they do
