Laura Kuenssberg shed light on the reaction former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson sparked in the Prime Minister with his pro-Brexit speech at the Conservative Party Conference in the Autumn of 2018. The BBC Political Editor suggested Mr Johsnon has rendered Theresa May "totally incandescent" after he claimed Mrs May's withdrawal agreement would abandon the UK to European rule "forever." Reviewing nearly six months of Brexit process in her programme The Brexit Storm, the BBC editor shared her immediate response to Mrs May admitting she had been "quite cross" with Mr Johnson: "Theresa May is a very controlled person.

"For her to admit ‘yeah, that makes me quite cross’ is probably what you or me would say ‘I’m totally, utterly, completely incandescent. I can’t even talk to you right now I’m so angry’." The comment followed what social media users branded as "awkward" moments between the BBC Political Editor and the Prime Minister ahead of their interview at the Tory Party Conference in September 2018. Sonia Sodha, deputy opinion editor for The Guardian, wrote on Twitter: "Ooh this Laura Kuenssberg/TM interview moment is awks #brexitstorm." A member of the public commented: "F*****g hell Theresa May is even more awkward than I ever thought she could be."

The BBC journalist added: "Theresa May takes the responsibility she has massively seriously and she carries it heavily. "She doesn’t do small talk, she doesn’t want to gossip, she wants to talk about things that matter." During the programme Chief Whip Julian Smith suggested the results of the 2017 general elections played a role in the division currently gripping Parliament and the country. Mr King said: "My job is to help the prime minister in delivering this withdrawal agreement. "The thing that people forget is that the Conservative Party went to get a majority in order to deliver Brexit, failed to get a majority. "The Government as a whole, probably, should just have been clearer the consequences of that would be Parliamentary arithmetic would mean that this would be, inevitably, a softer type of Brexit."

Speaking about Mrs May, Mr Timothy said: “As somebody who’s been very close to her and respects and likes her, to be honest, I feel quite sad about where we are right now. But the big problem is that ministers and I would include Theresa in this, struggle to see any economic upside to Brexit. “They see it as a damage limitation exercise.” He added: "If you see it in that way then inevitably you're not going to be prepared to take the steps that would enable you to fully realise the economic opportunities of leaving." While Parliament voted down Mrs May's withdrawal agreement three times, MPs on Monday once again failed to deliver on a majority in support for a Brexit option in the second round of indicative votes. Plans for a new customs union were rejected by 276 to 273. A Common Market 2.0 was voted down by 282 to 261, while a second referendum and revocation of Article 50 upon a no deal were rejected 292-280 and 292-191 respectively.All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
