James Crabtree, Associate Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy shares his analysis on what is next for Brexit after the UK Parliament rejected PM May's deal for a second time.
In today’s global business headlines… British Prime Minister Theresa May faces another vote on her Brexit deal in the UK’s Parliament today which commentators expect to once again lose. Newmont Mining has managed to fend off a hostile takeover bid by agreeing to inject its prized Nevada gold mines into a Barrick-controlled joint venture. The US Department of Justice is hitting major obstacles in its efforts to bring former Credit Suisse executives to account for Mozambique’s crooked $2bn Tuna Bond deal. South African airline company Comair, which operates in the country through the British Airways and Kulula brands, has grounded all of its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the wake of Sunday’s Ethiopia Airlines crash.
With Fraser Nelson and James Forsyth. Hosted by John Connolly.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has delivered her Brexit plan B to parliament this morning, highlighting three key changes.May outlined the new commitments which include being more open and inclusive in future and a commitment to workers rights."First, we will be more flexible, open and inclusive in the future, in how we engaged parliament in negotiating our future partnership with the European Union.""Second, we will invent the strongest possible protections on workers rights and the environment.""Third, we will work to identify how we can ensure that our commitment to no hard border in Ireland and Northern Ireland can be delivered in a way that commands the support of this House and the Europen Union."Former advisor to Tony Blair, John McTernan, told Kate Hawkesby it's the same Brexit plan in a slightly different form."It doesn't feel as though her plan is anything more than bringing back what she thought about before and, in fact, they have a chance to vote again in a week's time and then when they reject that, she's going to keep bringing it back in different forms until they have run down the clock and have no choice."He said the government controls parliamentary time, so it will get what it wants."If the government wanted to listen to backbenchers saying, 'let's have more time to negotiate, let's talk about a customs union, let's talk about the options businesses would prefer, let's talk about a second referendum' she [May] could enable that to happen immediately.""[However], in the absence of any support form the government, all the parliament can do is defeat her which she can keep ignoring or in the way she's doing, come back in a week pretty well the same thing but expressed in slightly different language.""So it feels like a very, very slow stalemate with the intention of frightening her backbenchers and MPs...into stopping the country sliding, by default, into no deal and the chaos even the Prime Minister accepts would happen."Blair said May's Brexit deal was rejected for so many different reasons which makes it hard to move forward."The question is can the House decide on anything? It may have said it agrees to reject her [May's] vote but [eople rejected her proposal for a myriad of reasons.""The question is, do any of those different positions have a majority or are we going to end up in a deadlock where it turns out the House of Commons is against everything.""Unfortunately for Britain, the status quo on Europe is if no proposal is agreed to, we leave with no deal."Yesterday New Zealand signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement with the UK.It has come in what Jacinda Ardern is calling a constructive meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May in London.The Prime Minister says it means that regardless of scenarios, New Zealand businesses will be no worse off from the day any Brexit arrangements come into force.She says it means our businesses can feel confident that their products will continue to be treated in the same way in the UK, as they are now.Ardern says it is similar to a deal Australia has signed with the UK.
Top Thursday headlines from the AP include British Prime Minister Theresa May's meetings with opposition parties, a new U.S. strategy foresees sensors in space to track missiles and a new study suggest the world needs to adopt a new diet.

They'll be discussing the historic defeat of May's Brexit deal, the no confidence motion in the government, as well as the past and future of political party membership and whether you've all made New Year's Resolutions (if you haven't, recommending Polling Politics to friends on a weekly basis would be a good place to start).

Arlene Foster, U.K. Democratic Unionist Party Leader, tells us why her party doesn't support May's Brexit deal. Kevin Tynan, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Automotive Analyst, says GM is going through this "painful transition" in order to be relevant in the future. Edward Alden, CFR Senior Fellow and Author of "Failure To Adjust: How Americans Got Left Behind In The Global Economy", says China is a bigger market for GM than the U.S. Andrew Wood, Chatham House Associate Fellow for their Russia and Eurasia Programme, does not think there will be new sanctions on Russia.
A Brexit agreement is "within our grasp" Theresa May says. And what measures could've been taken to stop the Manchester Arena attack?

Rem Korteweg on May's Brexit Speech (September 25, 2017) by the Clingendael Institute
On the day that Theresa May finally triggered article 50 we , inevitably, focus on this. What is Nicola Sturgeon's "cunning plan"? Is Scotland merely Maidenhead, no offence to Maidenhead, in May's Brexit strategy? Lesley recovers from her appearance on "Call Kaye" and reflects on what, if anything, the BBC has learned from its coverage of Indyref1. As the Scottish Labour Party takes a leaf out of my favourite time traveller's book, Sam Beckett if you're interested but others are available, and returns to 1979, I crack the myth of the SNP ushering in Thatcherism. The almost under the radar Scottish local elections round up this episode but not before I display my linguistic, or otherwise skills. I should have said Tam Biet by the way. You're going to have to listen now if only to figure out what the ruddy heck I'm on about.
Previously in Europe, ambiguous Brexit. This week the UK PM gave the first hints at negotiation goals for the talks to leave the EU. The EU parliament has a new president as the product of an unusual alliance. Additionally there are some new dates for upcoming elections taking place. Also Manuel Valls was slapped in the face while campaigning...
