Pro-Brexit Conservative MP, Owen Paterson

Pro-Brexit Conservative MP Owen Paterson on why he'll be voting against UK Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal.

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May is facing a mutiny inside her own Conservative Party, which threatens to scupper her Brexit deal and quite possibly her premiership too. If she loses the key parliamentary vote on her deal in just a few days time, the UK could plunge into political chaos. The stakes could hardly be higher for Owen Paterson, a Conservative MP and former Minister intent on rejecting Mrs May’s Brexit. Is it too late to avert a damaging national crisis?
