some breaking news concerning derek hatton, who we understand has been suspended from the labour partyjust a day after she was readmitted. the news is coming from is from the liverpool echo. just to give you some background to this, we understand he was suspended as a result of a tweet, this is reported by the liverpool echo. he was expeued by the liverpool echo. he was expelled from the party 34 years ago by neil kinnock. the liverpool echo which now understands the deleted tweet included criticism of the actions of the israeli government and urged british dues to speak out against its action. let's return to

oui’ against its action. let's return to our top story. and that of three conservative mps that have resigned the party over brexit and what they call the tory shift to the right. they jointly call the tory shift to the right. theyjointly eight call the tory shift to the right. they jointly eight labour mps call the tory shift to the right. theyjointly eight labour mps who form the independent group in parliament. for more on this, i'm joined by the guardian columnist. she was a candidate for the breakaway stp in the 1983 general election. first off, what you make of events over the last few days?” think it isn't surprising. brexit is the most divisive, important thing that has happened in my political lifetime, by far. it has sliced through all elements of british life, including both the main political parties. it is not surprising it should be causing earthquakes. the question is, what happens next? is there anything that they can hold together on brexit? it seems to me that brexit is their

issue. i do not think that conservatives and labour people can really stick together on anything else. although these three tory women are admirable and brave who have broken away, and they have been very strong on how disastrous brexit will be for the country, once that issueis will be for the country, once that issue is over, i don't see them sitting down with labour people i actually agree on any of manifesto. for one thing, they have all said we think austerity was a good thing i was absolutely necessary. i cannot see any labour people accepting that. we have had nine years of the most savage cuts. at the same time, working together with the liberal democrats, very difficult because the liberal democrats signed up to all that austerity as well. i think it's really important, here and now, for the brexit question. beyond that, i have my doubts. a lot of

people are saying, are they a viable political group? a lot of comparisons to a 1983 and the sdp. what are the parallels? i think it's very different for different time. i think the one parallel is our appalling electoral system which makes any kind of break—up almost impossible for any newcomer. most of the electorate say they would love to have more choices, would you like more parties?, to have more choices, would you like more parties? , yes. to have more choices, would you like more parties?, yes. you had you kept doing extremely well and not having a single mp. you have the greens, but on the home, their support is spread thinly. they never get the mps they deserve. until we get a proportional representation system, but all of the votes are added up, parties win a seat according to how the boat they get, i think it is really difficult to break through. i think the exception may be brexit. maybe brexit will be such a

shattering blow to both parties that the whole system doesn't break apart, it is not inconceivable. we are also hearing a lot of talk about the lib dems, getting together with the lib dems, getting together with the lib dems, how do assess that? they will have to decide who stands on what's eats, where. back in the 19805, on what's eats, where. back in the 1980s, when the sdp work together with what was then the liberal party, they had to apportion between themselves, who will get the juicy seats. there were huge internal struggles about that. it is difficult to say to liberal democrats to stand down, someone has been nurturing a seat, winning it for years. to say, stand out of the way, because one of these new labour 01’ way, because one of these new labour or tories want to stand in that seat instead. so, building up from the grassroots, a new party is very difficult. i think, for the time being, we should really think about

this as a brexit phenomenon, rather than some great new idea. they haven't any money for vital, they haven't any money for vital, they haven't got any particular ideas, they haven't got a leader. i can't see any new ideas coming out of this. we can see a number of reasons why they're upset with their own parties. there is no doubt, heidi allen made a very good speech when she said how appalled she had been what the tories had been shot down to the benefit system. people whose lives have been destroyed by the universal credit benefit. she has a lwa ys universal credit benefit. she has always had her hat in the right place. nevertheless, she has also voted through all these budgets and austerity measures which were originally set in place by george osborne. i wonder whether they can all sit down and agree on what their

budget is going to look like. all sit down and agree on what their budget is going to look likem all sit down and agree on what their budget is going to look like. in all this, and the latter stages of a lot of people have been making of the publics reaction to brexit, brexit fatigue. does the public have an appetite for another party? british politics is traditionally a 2—party system. i think there is a huge appetite for it. when people are offered a particular party, that is a different question. in the abstract, people are a in favour of new parties coming through, they like the idea, and why not? the trouble is, because of our system, when it gets to elections, everybody knows they have to hold their nose and vote for one of the two parties in order to keep out the one they hate most. people are mostly voting against the other lot. until we break up the system, have a

proportional system, i feel that inevitability will steam—roll this lot as well. it time to catch up with the weather. today has not been the basis of days for all of us. for some of us,, lots of sunshine. 15 degrees in aberdeenshire, temperatures could climba aberdeenshire, temperatures could climb a little higher than that over the next couple of days. tonight, we keep a lot of cloud, some splashes of rain, ma'am for most of us. the highest temperatures across the north—east of scotland, that is probably where we'll see the low temperatures overnight. there could bea temperatures overnight. there could be a touch of frost here, most of us sta rts be a touch of frost here, most of us starts of cloudy and mild tomorrow. we are likely to see that cloud bricking up to reveal some sunshine, particularly across england and
