Conservative MPs have been warned not to rebel against the government over Brexit, as MPs plan legislation to stop no deal. A senior source from the whips office - which ensures MPs vote in line with the party - said MPs who voted to block no deal would "destroy" the government's Brexit negotiating position. The source told the BBC that rebels will have the whip withdrawn and be deselected, the source said. Stephen spoke to commentator Andre Walker, SDLP MLA Claire Hanna and Dr Tom Black, BMA Northern Ireland council chair.
