:04:27. > :04:31.staff, they were doing as much as possible, she said, but the problem
:04:32. > :04:36.was that were not enough of them. Theresa May is facing criticism from
:04:37. > :04:40.all angles, patience, the opposition and trade unions and the
:04:41. > :04:43.Conservative chair of the Health Select Committee who said it was not
:04:44. > :04:46.right to be going after and scapegoating GPs. Tonight, in the

:05:00. > :05:03.least because historically the Conservatives have polled very badly
:05:04. > :05:09.when it comes to trust in the NHS. Tonight, there is an opinion poll,

:08:03. > :08:05.employers have been calling for clarity on what type of deal
:08:06. > :08:09.will emerge post-Brexit. Many want a transitional arrangement
:08:10. > :08:12.with the EU so they can plan Today, MPs on both sides
:08:13. > :08:18.of the Brexit argument piled more pressure on Theresa May by calling
:08:19. > :08:22.for exactly that. We think that any return to tariffs
:08:23. > :08:28.or bureaucratic obstacles would not be in the interests of British
:08:29. > :08:31.business and the committee believes that transitional arrangements
:08:32. > :08:34.will be needed to smooth the process as we leave the European Union,
:08:35. > :08:37.particularly if there were to be any changes to the way we trade
:08:38. > :08:43.or the way we sell our services. This group of MPs and business
:08:44. > :08:46.want to know whether Britain wants And they want to give MPs
:08:47. > :08:51.a vote on the final deal. And if a deal cannot be reached
:08:52. > :08:55.within the two-year time frame, they want a transitional phase
:08:56. > :08:58.to smooth the process out And one of the key sectors in all
:08:59. > :09:05.of this is the City of London, which provides more than a tenth
:09:06. > :09:08.of UK tax revenues. Critics say that is what
:09:09. > :09:11.the government should be protecting. We should spend the two years
:09:12. > :09:14.of negotiations on the financial services and ensuring
:09:15. > :09:18.the City is OK. We don't need
