	Description:		MPs have backed Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal in principle, but refused to allow it go through the Commons in time for October 31 deadline agreed with the EU. Time for an election then? The PM wants one, but who will it favour? Arj Singh and Rachel Wearmouth are joined by Conservative MP Bim Afolami and Anand Menon, director of the UK In A Changing Europe think-tank, to talk over another dramatic week in Westminster. DISCLAIMER: This was recorded hours before Boris Johnson called for a December 12 snap election - but still contains loads of great chat about whether a Christmas snap poll is a good idea for the Tories and Labour!
