Both the Tory and Ukip politicians fumed over the way Theresa May is planning for Britain to leave the EU.
Ms Evans backed the Prime Minister's plans before Ms Soubry jumped in, suggesting that British businesses were fearful of a cliff edge.

Parliament voted with a huge majority on the first bill to give power to the Prime Minister to trigger Article 50 when she pleases, as she aims to begin the Brexit process by the end of March.

“Even the CBI [Confederation of British Industry], straight forward Remainers, absolutely pushed for the Remain agenda and now actually coming round to this idea that Britain has a brighter future, outside the European Union.”
However the Conservative MP continued to argue back with the Ukip politician fuming over whether businesses couple be facing a “cliff edge”.
Ms Soubry said: “Yes, that’s different from cliff edge. And I don’t think you would find that the CBI wants us to go off a cliff edge.”
The Ukip politician then finished by bashing the Tory MP one last time concluding that, “There is not going to be a cliff edge, there is no cliff edge.”
