本期内容:

MPs across the political divide should "abandon outrage" and attempt to "forge a consensus" over Brexit, Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd has said. Meanwhile, ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage has told the BBC that he thinks there might be another referendum. Labour has said the withdrawal deal was now "dead in the water". Theresa May travelled to Brussels earlier this week to make a special plea to EU leaders after delaying Tuesday's Commons vote on the deal, in anticipation of a heavy defeat.
