It’s been a while since we caught up with our European Correspondent to talk about Brexit. But, this week there have been some huge developments… or rather, a lack of development, to the brexit process. This week, Theresa May's EU withdrawal deal has been rejected by MPs by an overwhelming majority for a second time, with just 15 days to go to Brexit. And to add to that - MPs have voted to reject leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement. Now, MPs will get a vote on delaying Brexit, and if it is passed - and the EU agrees to it - the UK will not leave the EU as planned on 29 March.
Stewart Sowman-Lund chatted to Justin Wong, who is in Paris, this morning to talk about the vote that has just happened.
