8:03 pm
effectively ta ke one evening, it's one that will effectively take no deal off the because there is only one way to table, they just went avoid no deal, that is to put effectively take no deal off the table, theyjust went past effectively take no deal off the table, they just went past the second reading in the air into the something in its place. there is not committee stage within the chamber so committee stage within the chamber so we'll keep abreast of that as the going to be a majority of mps. evening goes on, but of course most of the focus of the day is on the the only other way of doing it is talks that took place this afternoon very long extension, so we can sort between theresa may and jeremy corbyn and just a short time ago, out we were going on brexit. and corbyn and just a short time ago, corbyn told us his reaction. only by that means can we be it was raised by me in the beginning absolutely sure we are not facing a of the meeting, saying this no—deal brexit with only ten days' is a policy at our party that we want to pursue the option time. stephen barclay saying this is of public vote to prevent crashing out or preventing leaving on a bad deal. a very dangerous president where you there was no agreement reached rush through a private members bill on that, we just put it there as one without due consideration within the of the issues the labour party space of a day, and in any case, he conference voted on last year. and therefore, are you open, is she, the government up into an idea points out, it is the eu that is gone you sent the terms of the of extension that's longer than just extension, not the prime minister may 22 and could involve european stop lou there is nothing parliamentary elections? undemocratic about it. -- there is nothing undemocratic about it. it is nothing undemocratic about it. it is not in control of parliament because it lost the last election and there if it goes beyond the 22nd of may, is no majority for any single party,
8:04 pm
but clearly it does involve european elections, which the government would absolutely not want to be but also because there is not trust involved and they make that clear. now between particular more the prime minister is made that clear in the house independent—minded mps and the prime as well in meetings at me. minister. there's massive concerned. and that's why she is very keen to get a vote through the house next week in order to get an agreement members of the public watching this with the eu, which will mean that britain does not have to take part at home, if theirjobs are at stake, they want certainty. the only thing in the eu elections. the chancellor wrote thatis they want certainty. the only thing that is valuable to them is knowing to the shadow cabinet and said they are not going to crash out of that the referendum issue must be that you intend days' time. the on the table, should not accept a deal with the prime minister without being on the table, is that right for you? prime minister's request of a longer extension periods... let me ask you well, there's no deal offered and there is no deal about the meeting today between the being offered by us either, we just discussed where we are and she reiterated prime minister and jeremy corbyn. if where she is not at the present they cannot come to a compromise, time, so redlines in what you think is going to happen on monday? i do hope they do reach a the future didn't come up. compromise. it is very clear what the coppermine should be. theresa may once her deal. the labour party right, let's talk about the tight wants a second referendum with an spot with the labour leader, with option to remain... does it? does the lever of the labour party want laura, director of policy and that? it is the party's policy for
8:05 pm
research needs to see you. i'm listening to the response they are the obvious compromise which brings about that european elections first us the obvious compromise which brings us together is we all agree to vote of all, he said theresa may said she doesn't want to take part in through theresa may's deal so she european elections, government is gets it but subject to a clear about that that seems to be a redline still in place, i didn't confirmation earn in a referendum really say what he wanted. i thought with an option to remain. if that is he was supporting brexit. is lack of the proposition, you will find the ambiguity around what he thinks about that european elections from overwhelming majority of members apartment supported. the people who the labour point of view it would be wa nt apartment supported. the people who want to crash out of the eu with no a disaster, we had 5 million labour you will be unhappy. but i would leave voters in 2016 during the reckon two thirds of mps would referendum people are now at the support that. the country would amount of politically homeless, the idea we would turn to dust 5 million heave a great sigh of relief and the labour voters and and tell them we people could decide whether they are going to back and have another wa nt people could decide whether they want theresa may's deal, and her 39 set elections over three years on, i billion she wants to give the, or to found the referendum result, we ignore your boat and move on, it's a joke and it would turn away from the do what i and either what the people. tonight, the shadow foreign majority of the country wants, to put this behind us and stay in the secretary discussed in the interview european union. andrew adonis, thank and wrote to all mps and peace as
8:06 pm
any deal agreed it should be subject you. let's go straight to the lobby and toa speak to the labour mpjess any deal agreed it should be subject to a public vote and yes, the other option on the ballot should be remained. i will pretend it, it's philipps. do you trust the labour disappointing, but i will say there leaderjeremy corbyn is putting isa forward a people's vote in those disappointing, but i will say there is a clear divide between labour party, we had those who are coming discussions with theresa may?|j out saying that actually no, we are forward a people's vote in those discussions with theresa may? i was not privy to the discussions today, but i do trust... i trust that a party of leave and we support the referendum result and then we have that contrasted by people like tom jeremy went in there with what is labour party policy. i trust that watson, like you said, there is a thatis big divide in the labour party at labour party policy. i trust that that is that any deal has to be put the moment, jeremy corbyn is trying toa that is that any deal has to be put to a confirmatory ballot so the to bridge that gap but i think it's people get to decide whether it is a problem and at the moment i think good or not, and while i do not know he is trending more towards the what happened in the meeting today, remained parliamentary labour party rather than thinking about the i trust there is enough pressure on labour voters, the people who will the labour front bench and enough possibly get into downing street one day and if he wants to be in downing will for that to be the position street anytime soon, turning away they're going to take as their from 5 million labour veterans in the working class community across redline. it's interesting that emily the working class community across the country is a bad mood and thornberry has written a letter to labour mps tonight, and you look at electrically disastrous. when you think this because of the next few who is in the room stop we know keir
8:07 pm
days because i sense that something starmer supports people's vote, but that needs to be resolved by monday evening two days before the european we know thatjeremy corbyn is a summit, so they will give it another secret brexiteer come up with a lot go tomorrow, but he backs away from of people asking if he is really that, because politically he can't putting that forward.” deliver something for the prime of people asking if he is really putting that forward. i trust keir minister, then we are into this indicated votes, how does the labour idon't putting that forward. i trust keir i don't think they're going to party split down when it comes to lie to us, is the truth. i think it all those various options? if anyone stands and tells you they know for sure they are lying, but i will say would be a massive stretch for jeremy corbyn at the moment is being jeremy corbyn not to put forward the cut industries that may trap that policy that has been agreed by the labour party, so even if he does not she's created this absolutely awful which i'll agreement that the wa nt labour party, so even if he does not want it, i thinkjeremy corbyn is country and parliament absolutely going to recognise that he's been on love, and somehow she's trying to position would be threatened by him share that burden of that on the not putting it forward because it is what the party wants. and i think labour party, and unfortunately my fear is that the burden of 17.4 it's fair to have voices that are million disenfranchised leave voters will follow on the shoulders of the labour party and it'll be damaging naysaying to have a potentially bit of balance in this too and fro that to us electorally, and the next election and i think we may not think long—term on this purely only they are doing with the prime minister, but i think thatjeremy short—term. think long—term on this purely only short-term. why do you say that because that which i'll agreement corbyn is not foolish enough to not
8:08 pm
and it's not going to be reopened put that forward. he is walking a its pass whenever they to, the political declaration is nonbinding, high wire. we had labour leaving everything is to play for so why saying they did not want the tenor can't the two leaders find a form of of what is happening, maybe going to language that leaves the options carry what they don't like, theresa open for both of them?” may's deal across the line, labour language that leaves the options open for both of them? i think you're right in your question because the political declaration is not binding is but that which i'll somehow delivering that brexit. and yet on the other side, he's got agreement is an exception and in remainers down in the south who want several areas of absolute failure him to stick to a remain sort of way for the workers of this country. evenif for the workers of this country. even if you ignore the whole issue forward. it's a tight want to walk. of the backstop, it's not the people it isa voted for and it could possibly lead forward. it's a tight want to walk. it is a really tight want to walk. the uk as a vassal state to the it is a really tight want to walk. european union and that's not what 5 it does not actually equate to the million labour leave voters voted north and the south as much as people want it to. newcastle, for, and jeremy corbyn does nothing to understand that or at the moment, liverpool, they voted for the uk to is being pushed to and from by the remaining leave and at the moment he's pushing too close to the remained side and my opinion and not listening to voters of the country. remain. that is not necessarily thank you very much. that's the view true. it is a difficult position. from the labour leave aside that the we speak to andrew later and he will that advice i would give you jeremy
8:09 pm
give us a people's boat and the corbyn and to anyone in the labour remained side of the labour movement at the moment is that, arguments and stay with us for that. but let's get to ian, who is in the actually, we get nowhere... people house apollo and frs, we should talk about the process that's on wa nt gathering tonight, because of actually, we get nowhere... people want decisiveness at the moment across the country, and i have a course, there is a private members bill being debated, and bees are trying to rush through something leave seat. i have these that would take no deal off the conversations all the time with people who voted to leave, and there table. express legislation going is not division. there is nuance, through at the moment, these are all the amendments put down to the there is understanding, there is legislation currently because it was drafted so quickly, it was filled change on both sides actually come and soi change on both sides actually come and so i think the labour party has to act very decisively and make very with the relatively minor errors which they are trying to crack at clear the labour party policy... if the moment, a series of boats around ten o'clock will happen, and if the legislation is successful and put this is theresa may's deal, the only forward by yvette cooper and supported by the conservatives, it negotiator we have, so it has got successful, then effectively it a mandate theresa may to extend legitimacy in that regard for so it needs legitimacy from the people. article 50, she's already talking about a short extension, in any case, he wants to get the agreement what would you say if they come back of the opposition for that, but this and say, we are going to have to
8:10 pm
would ensure she has to do it and have european elections? i'm i think not be left in the discretion any longer, parliament if you would like what is spoken but they are trying my constituents... i don't hear any to get that legislation through massive dissent. i have not had a incredibly quickly and it has to be approved to the day and tomorrow by single e—mail or comment from anyone the house of lords. what's happening my constituency saying we should not also that talks between theresa may hold european elections. my constituents talk to me about them, and the opposition leader, that look on the surface to be quite positive about their lives. it's very rare that they are upset with the same they're having technical talks are going to look at what would things we are obsessed with here when we are down in london. the constitute as a customs union, to see if there is areas of agreement, problem for members of parliament in the moment as we are being kept here nonetheless i'm hearing from behind the scenes that things are perhaps less positive than that public life consta ntly the moment as we are being kept here constantly and losing the connection with people's lives. they talk to me —— come on join less positive than that public life —— come onjoin now by the side genuinely about their things more than brexit. jess phillips, housing meet —— minister, how is reminding us there is something else labour acting through this so far, in this world other than brexit. not and sophia jamie saying no deal, and in my world, but there is! so and sophia jamie saying no deal, and so farare and sophia jamie saying no deal, and well, the attorney general geoffrey so far are also saying it's useful but inconclusive what's your cox has struck a conciliatory tone suggesting the government might be assessment? how we are reacting, we serious about reaching a compromise with labour. are reacting with an open mind, this speaking to the bbc, he said that if the prime minister is very late in the day it's exactly wasn't willing to set aside some
8:11 pm
what she should have been two years of her red lines, there was a real ago, and we would not be in the risk she wouldn't be able to pass any deal through parliament, messy ago, and we would not be in the m essy area and the uk wouldn't ago, and we would not be in the messy area now, but they were leave the eu at all. constructed, they were positive, they were in serious talks and they even if there were a customs union... and we are not saying we are going lasted longer than expected, but to negotiate a customs union... they were less productive than we but you're willing? had been led to expect as well. what let's wait and see. it would be foolish to start kind of deal could you do, she said imposing conditions on a genuine offer of discussion, kneeling that she would go to a which is what it is. but if we did, we would still labour policy to form a customs union with the eel is that something repatriate a vast swathe of powers you think is possible? that question back to this country. about what could command that common you once turned around on the green sense and common ground in benches and accused your colleagues of behaving like children parliament and negotiable with a in the playground. european union, is based on the land how do you think they're behaving now, people who are still holding out, that we put forward, so starting who are furious that you're reaching... with a customs union, if the prime they're people who have, minister is ready to ship the lines in many cases, waged a solitary at the deal that she's been battle to convince this country proposing, and still to see a serious sign of that yet, he is a to leave the european union. customs union as a starting point, they are people of strong make sure you can guarantee that patriotic instincts who have the interests of this country at heart, and i in no way workers' rights and consumer disrespect their motivations. protection and environmental but what i would say to them is this. standard standby behind europe. and what is important is that we leave. that we had a good close
8:12 pm
relationship with the single market, once we are out, those are the sorts of things that constitute a much better brexit deal legally, we are out. for the country. you talk about a better deal things you want to see, thereafter, once we have many of you also like to see a reached the open sea, we can chart our own course. confirmatory ballad, i knew a friend but if we never leave, of the second my friend and a public well, then we... if we don't leave now, vote, because what you will, they wa nt vote, because what you will, they want but also because they wanted to we may never leave at all. be something you insist upon which recently and interestingly tonight, as we hear, emily thornberry, saying geoffrey cox their speaking to our that if you did step policy, and he political editor. what happens next? what happens on monday? are deputy is it and move away from adding a confirmatory ballot, she want to see a boat and that side of cabinet politically —— are deputy political which i discussed and how is your reaction to her concerns? we argue editorjohn pienaar has what might for a confirmatory boat, necklace and pass with the discussions this happen. theresa may's looking for compromise, but what kind afternoon and if you step back is of brexit might take shape — assuming any deal‘s possible? quite clear that in order to be able to tackle the next stage of the very mrs may and jeremy corbyn suddenly agreeing never seemed likely. he wants permanent ties to the eu customs union, difficult negotiations, that they don't agree on the dl the public has same import duties — so, no outside trade deals. got to be behind that and that's he wants to stay close going to require either general to the single markets. election or confirmatory boat stop that means freedom of movement of people.
8:13 pm
both leaders accept that should change, by so she should not worry that the but what about a new referendum? policy remains, that it's still she's against, he's never been very keen. there? the consistent this but to many mps and most labour afternoon, with what we've argued in members, it's a priority — as it is to the snp, public for some time, i was label —— lib dems, plaid cymru, and the new independent group. labour setting up grounds by which would either leader we could get a brexit deal, but if really mind if these talks broke down in the end? for this country. and also ways he 0n mrs may's side, some hate that can get the country behind it, which she's talking to mr corbyn — lending him legitimacy, they say. will be needed as well stop by thank but brexiteers also fear you very much, the shadow housing she's on course to stay too close to the eu. minister saying it should be labour policy to put anything negotiated the angriest tories wants her gone back to the people either through a quickly, so a new leader can rewrite whatever‘s agreed. general election or through public but. is interesting, and in line 0n mr corbyn's side, some believe his true wish with what emily thornberry was was to keep his hands clean writing the letter to labour mps of brexit, let the tories get the blame for whatever goes wrong. earlier, and taking you back to the agreement means a deal might house we had fun and games tonight start to take shape. if talks finally break down, and the house by all accounts, that printer broke down as well, so they mrs may said it's up to mps. could not print the bell, then, more voting on brexit printer broke down as well, so they options — staying close could not print the hell, that yvette cooper had put forward, so to the eu, a referendum, for a period of time, they did not or — what many tories would prefer — actually know what they were leaving with no deal. and of course, mrs may's deal, debating anyway and it seems that
