Who Blinks First?

BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Politics, Who Blinks First?

John Pienaar talks to Liz Truss, John McDonnell and Sarah Wollaston about ruling out a no-deal Brexit, and whether they are backing a general election.

International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss, tells John Pienaar she believes those in parliament wanting to take No Deal off the table before backing a General Election are being disingenuous. But John McDonnell, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor, says there has to be an assurance No Deal is ruled out. Elsewhere, former Conservative MP and Lib Dem defector, Dr Sarah Wollaston, says she now thinks parliament has lost its chance to hold a People's Vote. Our pundits this week are Kate Proctor from the Guardian and John Stevens from the Daily Mail. Get the podcast from the BBC Sounds app.
