The Prime Minister has been answering questions in the Commons ahead of the first vote on a bill to trigger the start of Brexit. A second day of MPs debating the legislation for Article 50 takes place before that vote later this evening. The Prime Minister also insisted she wasn't given prior warning about Donald Trump's ban on refugees entering the US. She's been quizzed by Jeremy Corbyn in the Commons, after days of not saying whether the President discussed it with her when they met last week. But the Labour leader says it's still a UK issue - as Mr Trump is going against an international agreement on refugees To discuss all this, and more, Share Radio's Simon Rose was joined by Ryan Heath, Senior EU Correspondent at POLITICO.
