Third Vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal may not happen

BBC World Service - Weekend, Third Vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal may not happen

The UK Prime Minister admits this in a letter to all MPs sent on Friday.

The Brexit saga grinds on. The EU have allowed the UK to move their departure date back from 29 March to 22 May, but this depends on Prime Minister Theresa May winning a third vote in Parliament to pass her deal. She has now indicted that this might not take place at all due to a lack of support. So what will happen now?

Also on the programme we hear about what the Mueller report on alleged collusion between Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential campaign and Russia will mean for the president legally. And as the National Portrait Gallery in the UK reject a one point three million dollar donation from the Sackler family because of their involvement in the production of the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin, we discuss the morality of funding the arts.
