Gordon Brown, the former UK prime minister, said there is no chance Theresa May will get her proposed Brexit deal through Parliament next week and suggested the current PM could lose her job over it.

Speaking at an event in London co-hosted by Financial News and Project Syndicate, Brown said: “The deal won’t go through in its present form. There will be an attempt to renegotiate but under who, I don’t know — either her [May] or someone else. But that’s a matter for the Conservative Party.”
