those are the front pages. let's have a little chat. we are going to start off with the daily telegraph. theresa may warns cabinet rebels her deal is final, peter. yes, so the telegraph and the other papers today are telegraph and the other papers today a re really telegraph and the other papers today are really about theresa may's fightback. so she has got the big speech to the cbi tomorrow, and she is basically... the thrust of the story is she will tell the five who are plotting against her that as the telegraph puts it, the terms of the eu's divorce from the uk have been agreed in full and the only thing to discuss as a future trade deal. in other words, here is the deal, you can't train unpick it now, and we have to make the most of it. that is the thrust of what the telegraph says she will say. will it be convincing to the cbi? the public can't do anything, can they? no, they can't. she has to stay that there is no more negotiation —— she

has to say. the eu saying there is no negotiation either but she may be saying please give me something. you can see what is happening here, i am really back against the ropes, but it isa really back against the ropes, but it is a bit ofa really back against the ropes, but it is a bit of a slap down to the brexit —— brexiteers in cabinet. this is absolutely crucial. she is having to sell her deal, maybe going over and above the westminster village and going out to the uk and hammering at home. the paper has been given these lines saying that this deal is not perfect, but it will be good for your prosperity, for your children's prosperity. we have got control back for immigration, et cetera. the paper mentions a lot about her rebels, and the guardian deals with the same story, but they talk about the dup

on the front of the daily telegraph. the dup is also contemplating telling its mps to vote against any amendments to the budget legislation. so that is going to undermine her yet again. yes, so she has two problems, not only to keep her own party on board but the fact she is reliant on the dup. yes, this could be a way of their signalling displeasure over bits of the agreement which pertain to northern ireland. whether they will actually go ahead and do it and vote against her is not clear. but it is all part of this kind of piling pressure on her and her essentially trying to say we have done this deal, this is the best deal we are going to get, let's fall behind it. if we turn to the guardian, brexit entering its crucial weeks. that is the headline. what do you make of the five rebels, the cabinet five, the group of five was made do you think they have got the time to make these amendments?

they are meeting up tomorrow, they are meeting up monday, can they make any change whatsoever? they certainly feel that they can. they have decided to stay within the tent and fight their case, but as said, i think it is rather interesting that theresa may is kicking off this week saying there is no more negotiation is to be made. as said, that may be a holding position for her and for the eu. and i have covered a few of these eu summits before, and in late—night negotiations sometimes there is a breakthrough, so to speak, where they give a little bit on it. so perhaps that is what they are thinking, that the eu, 0k, just to get this over the line next week, at the summit when this is due to be rubberstamped next sunday, the eu will give them some succour, and say what are your main points, and they

will be able to do it. publicly they are not saying that but behind closed doors, perhaps. 0k. the erg 48. and they haven't hit it yet, and thatis 48. and they haven't hit it yet, and that is the margin you need for a no—confidence vote. as far as we know only 25 have publicly submitted letters so far. the times says that 25 have submitted them publicly, they say that some senior brexiteers claim that they have firm pledges by more than 50, but they will submit letters by tomorrow evening. as they point out, if a leadership election is treated it will take place within 24 hours of the threshold, which will turn this into a really extraordinary week. quite what would happen, the summit on sunday would presumably not take place. i don't

know where we would be then, really. and the story here, the warning is don't do what we did to margaret thatcher, the public did not like that. no, michael heseltine found his own personal cross when he tried to ta ke his own personal cross when he tried to take on margaret thatcher for the leadership of the tory party, that he lost out. as we were saying earlier, the conservatives, despite changing leader, went on to have seven more years in power. so they may be looking at that, but no one wa nts to may be looking at that, but no one wants to be seen to be plunging the knife. it was interesting, dominic raab, the former brexit secretary, who resigned, said i still support theresa may but couldn't with any conscience to stay in cabinet with this disagreement, basically. there is now a beauty parade of leadership contenders this week. you could have a summit this week, the tory leadership campaign this week, i think like stephen hawking says,

there are a million universes, there could be a million versions of brexit we could have, and trying to second—guess it is impossible. brexit we could have, and trying to second-guess it is impossible. in terms of leadership contenders, who do you think? we all suspect boris johnson will be here, don't we? and he is on the front of the daily telegraph, this column is being teased where he is being... typical borisisms, we are preparing to take colonial rule by foreign powers, and we should withhold at least half of the £39 billion. there are other lines as well. an extraordinary column. he is essentially saying we have to unpick the whole deal. quite where that would leave us, i don't know. exactly. let's turn to the ft, and we heard about this extension to the transition period. so i think taking us possibly years, 2020 two

is the offer. this is michel barnier, the chief negotiator, saying let's add another year on, we don't have to hurry away, we will be happy to have you there. you will just be caught in this sort of limbo period, and you of course keep contributing, which from the eu's point of view, who can blame them? we area point of view, who can blame them? we are a huge net contributor to the eu. ithink we are a huge net contributor to the eu. i think we don't often talk enough about the impact that our sleeving is going to have on the eu's finances. it is going to leave a huge hole in their budget. and so this looks on the surface like a generous gesture, don't rush, it is fine, you can stay with us for another couple of years. but keep handing over the cash, and that will kind of help the eu to deal with its own budgetary problems. this is an attack on the brexiteers, as well, because they are saying the eu are... we are going to be rule takers, not rulemakers, so we are

having to pay more of that money into the eu budget, but we will have no say in it, as well, and what barnier maybe miss —— mischievously let out today is that we are talking to the uk government about what is happening after the withdrawal agreement, and the likes of boris johnson saying why are we paying £39 billion to the eu in the divorce settlement, but what will we get back? give us some meat on the bone here. so this will provoke the brexiteers' ire even more, hearing yesterday. what did you make of dominic raab saying we had been bullied? we dominic raab saying we had been bullied ? we heard dominic raab saying we had been bullied? we heard those lines pretty early on. i mean, they are negotiations. i think the negotiations. i think the negotiations each side plays its hand as well as it can do, and the eu, they realised the economic power

is on their side, and i think they have just argued well for the interest of the other countries in the eu. i don't think you can blame them, really. and he was brexit secretary, so it happened on your watch. 27 countries have been more united than the government of one country, ultimately. 0k, very quickly, because we need to get to a nice smiley picture on the daily mail, but the mirror, a different ta ke mail, but the mirror, a different take on brexit. the army is at ready. it has been put on alert. i haven't had a chance to look at this. it is stockpiling. i need to raise my game, we need to stockpile. we have bought up most of the pasture in south london, we are prepared. civil unrest on the streets, a shortage of medicine, and out streets, a shortage of medicine, and our ports and airports at a standstill. this is the image that the mirror is putting forward, which

is good scary stuff, i suppose. lovely picture of prince charles. what is all this in aid of? well, it is his 70th birthday, and a picture released last week. more soft focus pictures of him with his grandson. it isa pictures of him with his grandson. it is a lovely picture. i think over the last few years, since prince william has had his young family, that perhaps prince charles had not had the time, because he is so committed to all his causes, to devote some time to his grandchildren, and i think the middleton is, it has been said by royal courtiers, but they have spent rather more time with their grandchildren than
