It's time to check in with all the goings on in the UK, with our European correspondant Mary-Margaret Slack. This week, Theresa May’s heading to Northern Ireland… and is a no Brexit deal off the table? Have a listen.
Former Tuesday Wire host Mary-Margaret Slack joins us again from London today. With the increasing risk of a no-deal Brexit becoming more and more likely, we spoke with her to find out what that actually looks like and why the risk is becoming more likely. First though, Lillian asked what people are feeling about the whole situation at the moment.
Conservative leader Theresa May’s future hangs in the balance - an all-important vote tomorrow deciding whether her Brexit deal will survive, or whether a general election may be triggered by the Opposition.
