Paul Waugh hosts this week's Commons People as Arj Singh returns from the all-night talks between Theresa May and her EU counterparts, where an extension to Brexit until October 31st was granted by Brussels.

Arj Singh, Paul Waugh and Rachel Wearmouth are joined by Labour MP on the HuffPost UK's politics podcast this week to talk Brexit showdowns, reaching across the political divide and the continual slow splintering of the two main parties.
