Summary

It's a weird day in Brexitland as we're all waiting for MPs to sit tomorrow and decide whether they approve of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal. We get the thoughts of Nigel Nelson, The Sunday People's Political Editor. Plus, we cross live to Barcelona to talk to journalist Stephen Burgen about why there's been fire on the streets every night this week. And, is it safe to give bread to ducks?

0:58.0	to see whether a few rebels could help the government to get the deal passed.
1:01.3	Depending on who you speak to, the deal is either a worse deal than Theresa May's deal,
