Brexit: The House Decides
Available for over a year
Last night's vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal was one of the most eagerly expected parliamentary moments in decades. This programme charts the build up to the so-called 'Meaningful Vote', through the eyes of six backbench MPs with strong and differing views: Nicky Morgan, Caroline Flint, Stephen Kinnock, Nigel Evans, Andrea Jenkyns and Bob Neill. Peter Snowdon has been talking to them as they've grappled with what may be the biggest decision in their political careers. They speak candidly about the conflicting loyalties each have faced and what it would mean for them, their party and the country.
