to dozens of resignations. the times also says mass resignations are on the cards, with the paper saying the work and pensions secretary amber rudd has called for all tory mps to be given a free vote. the guardian leads with mrs may's claim that a second referendum — which she again ruled out today — would be too damaging to society. and that claim is echoed on the front page of the daily express, which says a second vote would be a threat to democracy. brexit again dominating everything, front page of the independent, the prime minister reveals her plan b, just like plan a. jar}; efre'! bette; gm; lheie' rggnr radically may dically willingnessen, ,, , maydically willingness to theresa may and her willingness to stick to her guns on a number of issues. i do not think anyone thought there was going to be anything radically different but we thought there might be something a

bit different at least. we have perhaps plan a with a louder voice, the same old story about going back to the eu to try to get some changes to the eu to try to get some changes to the eu to try to get some changes to the irish backstop and give a on - %: going to change. we finished our not going to change. we finished our and having a negotiations and having a consultative approach within the uk is not going to get us any different dealfrom the eu. and unless the prime minister is willing to take on board the scale of the defeat and the problems that have been caused by the lack of understanding if you like about what we are trying to achieve. we had a vote where the ha rd achieve. we had a vote where the hard brexiteers rejected brexit, the northern irish representatives rejected something that would have

protected northern ireland. so the prime minister seems to have decided that she just needs to keep putting her deal back to parliament and it will get through maybe with some twea ks. will get through maybe with some tweaks. the feeling i suspect as well is that theresa may believes it is about shoring up the mps in her own party and the dup and not about reaching out to the other side. that seems like a sensible strategy, that she will win if she can hold down her own race. the moment she came to power she came in and did not look at the arithmetic. all she has been trying to do with these red lines, no deal better than a bad deal at all that, all the time she has been protesting the erg and giving them

scraps to feed on. in the referendum campaign they said we will get a deal. there was no talk about no deal. there was no talk about no deal. and every time she has played it... she said she would be flexible, open and inclusive. really she is like a manager of the team facing relegation and every time they lose she will change the format. all this sort of thing going on but the problem is the board cannot sack because they tried that once and so they are lumbered with a manager and team facing relegation. it seems the only side she has tried to include other extreme brexiteers

who have already rejected this. and they will become more extreme over a period of time. the idea of no deal being now there are trump card if you like has emerged only very recently. 17.4 million people, it is impossible to believe that they voted for this now. 16 million voted to remain. but that is argument that she is representing the people, i think she said it was her solemn duty, sacred duty, to fulfil the wishes of the british people. front page of the metro, groundhog day, the words ofjeremy corbyn suggesting there is nothing new. but she did say that the money that eu nationals would have to pay to get their settled status here after

brexit will be gone. i was delighted to see that. that could be the kind of thing that might make the eu better disposed to tweaking the deal restau ra nt better disposed to tweaking the deal restaurant maybe not the eu but it makes a difference to people who have been here paying their taxes and working night and contributing to our economy. it is important that we are not hostile towards these people and do not force them to pay money to achieve something that they we re money to achieve something that they were promised they had already achieved. i think that is a welcome step forward but it does not deal with the substantive issue which is that the moment we have no way of leaving the eu that is agreed other than no deal at all. that cannot be what the majority of british people either don't now or indeed voted for in the referendum. but unless we have a different approach that is where we're headed. kicking the can

down the road. parliament does not have time to mess about any more, we still have to pass a huge amount of legislation and if we do not know where we are headed toward legislation are we going to be passing. they suggestion that no deal is still on the table, theresa may made that clear. it is part of oui’ may made that clear. it is part of our bargaining strategy to threaten the eu. but in not taking that off the eu. but in not taking that off the table that threatens some inner cabinet to feel it is a bad idea. absolutely and some of them, the mirrors as they are making, they are threatening to resign. but of course we had resignations before and it has to be a block of resignations to destabilise the government for that to work. up until now there has not happened and she does not seem to understand that the eu is not going

to be threatened by no deal. they have done the negotiations, done the deal and the deal stands, they made that clear. the front page of the financial times, ideas of the negotiating the irish backstop already rebuffed by michel barnier. they are not going to budge, they made that clear. is there any suggestion from people you have been talking to today that if no deal stays on the table that there could be some resignations? as far as i know definitely there will be cabinet resignations if we had towards no deal. the vast majority of mps and a significant number of cabinet ministers and junior ministers will not allow us this kamikaze idea of crashing out of the eu with no protection kamikaze idea of crashing out of the

eu with and nrotection for! kamikaze idea of crashing out of the eu with and nrot businesses, no country and our businesses, no protection for our citizens and the ordinary way of life that we have. a lot of people have the idea that no deal is like being in a negotiation and you decide you do not want to pay the price and you will be fine. that is not the status quo, it is giving up the way of life we have now, the business methodology, the way that manufacturing works and even art tap water has chemicals in it that we cannot stop file and may not be able to freely import.“ it that we cannot stop file and may not be able to freely import. if you listen to the people who believe that brexit is a good thing, going back to wto rules, a no—deal brexit is not a terrible as people suggest? you can trade on wto rules but we have been part of the eu for 30 years and we have got all kinds of

intricate relationships. things like planes flying in, all sorts of things that need to be sorted out. you cannotjust things that need to be sorted out. you cannot just walk away. the brexiteers have always had this idea about leaving a club and do stop your direct debit and that is the end. but there are all sorts of things that are part of our lives. you we can break free but not in an organised way. the problem is that people now telling us that living on wto terms will be fine at the same people who have been telling us all the way through that brexit will be the way through that brexit will be the easiest trade deal in history, they need us more than we need them, that we will have all kinds of benefits without the costs of being in the eu itself. and they have been wrong on every single thing so far. they are wrong on this but want to

try to pretend it is all fine because all they seem to worry about is leaving. after that they have no plan, they do not know how it is going to work and that is the problem. is that what people want, tojump offa problem. is that what people want, tojump off a cliff and hope problem. is that what people want, to jump off a cliff and hope someone is there with a safety net? let's move on to the daily star. they have this story about vandalism on a number of prominent statues and sculptures around green park in central london. the daily star sculptures around green park in central lond £5,000 )aily star tf’ sculptures around green park in central lond £5,000 as .y star szs to mail those "e '% yobs who these "e '% yobs who - these bomber vile yobs who covered these bomber command statues in white paint. this is the first time in six years it has happened and apart from that statue also the one of winston

churchill also had white paint on it. this is very sad and given the situation the country is going to have elements like that in our society is worrying. one should not exaggerate what they are doing but nevertheless they are such mindless people and i think the climate that we're into some extent encourages that. the lack of respect for people who gave their lives to fight for the freedom of this country. and to fight for the peace we have enjoyed since the end of the second world war. 55,000 aria personnel commemorated at this bomber command statue in green park. and i think thatis statue in green park. and i think that is dashed the disrespect is something ifind that is dashed the disrespect is something i find troubling. that is dashed the disrespect is something ifind troubling. and winston churchill, the royal marines memorial, all of these things are pa rt memorial, all of these things are part of our national history and

national pride. and the lack of historical knowledge about where we have come from is the worrying thing. we need to know that to be sure of where we're going and people like that do not seem to care for it then what kind of society are we. good evening. it is pretty chilly

out there and we are adding some wet weather into the equation. some strong and dusty wind and behind that back into that cold air. and there's likely to be some ice around first thing tomorrow morning. the showers migrating from the west towards the east. there could be snow over quite modest hills but even at lower levels we could have a dusting of snow if we have a heavy shower. even between the showers it is going to feel cold and colder still as we go through tuesday night. staying cold on wednesday and thursday and things turn a bit milder temporarily on friday. this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11:00pm: the prime minister updates mps

on her brexit plans after last week's crushing defeat, telling them she will seek changes to the irish backstop. i will be talking further this week to colleagues including the dup to consider how we might meet our obligations to the people of northern ireland and ireland in the way that can command the greatest possible support in the house. but labour leaderjeremy corbyn says she's offering nothing new, and her deal is undeliverable. what makes her think that what she tried to renegotiate in december will succeed in january? mr speaker, this really does feel a bit like groundhog day. the prime minister also announced the £65 fee eu nationals would have had to pay for the right to stay in britain
