the paper's editorial says the home of british democracy is being denied a say in the most consequential decision for more than a0 years. the headline in the times is "johnson goes for broke" alongside a picture of the prime minister clenching his fist. the paper says mrjohnson surprised his opponents but "pushed britain to the brink of a constitutional crisis". the scottish daily mail has this picture of scottish conservative leader ruth davidson, who is expected to quit today, delivering a "major blow" to borisjohnson. and finally the free paper, the metro, has this very serious picture of the queen who, it says, has been dragged into brexit row. it also says his opponents brand him a "tin—pot dictator." so let's begin. with me is cornelia meyer, ceo of mrl corporation, a business consultancy. let's start with the front page of the guardian. cross—party rebel alliance, it sounds like something

from star wars, agreed to focus on fast tracking legislation aimed at getting rid of this. you couldn't make it up, even in star wars. interesting— first up, if you look at all the papers, it is the ones that are pro brexit that's a johnson did the right thing, the ones who are against it say it is an outrage. the guardian says, they are talking about outrage. they are also making another pertinent point, saying that he is pro— rogan for about five yea rs, he is pro— rogan for about five years, —— proroguing, but facto it is only about five days. and that is for the party conferences, but do we really need party conferences one could argue in a time is crucial is this? that is a very crucial point.

of course, johnson has the right to pro— —— of course, johnson has the right to pi’o— —— prorogue, of course, johnson has the right to pro— —— prorogue, but what of course, johnson has the right to pro- —— prorogue, but what he of course, johnson has the right to pro— —— prorogue, but what he is doing is putting fuel on the flames. yesterday, they talked about keeping their powder dry, from get brussels, but i think there are two things to say. yes, they see it as sinister, andi say. yes, they see it as sinister, and i thinkjohnson thinks if he carries on with this brinkmanship they will cave in, because holland, germany, france, they needed deal. but in fact it may put their backs up but in fact it may put their backs up too much, and we needed deal more than they do. we have to be clear about that. so, this is brinkmanship at its highest. absolutely. let's

have a look at the financial times front page. very upset about this, they also have editorial comments saying that the seat of parliamentary democracy is being denied a say. jeremy corbyn says, the leader of the labour party, says they will act swiftly to prevent what boris johnson they will act swiftly to prevent what borisjohnson is doing, and challenging with a vote of no—confidence. challenging with a vote of no-confidence. that is very nice, but they have about four days until they are out. it'll be tough to get anything done in a time. it is extraordinary times, and if you look at the financial times, they are obviously also worried about the economy. as you said, the pound slipped by one penny. this needs

certainty, and what he has done is attracted more uncertainty. that is another thing that brussels is fed up another thing that brussels is fed up with. they are fed up with brexit, they have to hold all of their debates on climate change, on migration, because of brexit, so they really want to be on the other side of this. is there an argument that at least whatever happens boris johnson is forcing a decision either way, that come what may, if what he saysis way, that come what may, if what he says is true, october 31st, at least then the markets in the economy will know. isn't that better than the stalemate we have had? when you talk to businesses up and down the country, they will tell you that they can't live with the uncertainty. we will deal with the no deal brexit. but when you look at the real consequences of a no deal brexit it would be devastating for many businesses. for manufacturing, ca i’s many businesses. for manufacturing, cars and so on, so i think whichever way it goes we will see less investment. a lot has been held off

because of the uncertainty, but we will see less than when we were still in the eu. the times, johnson goes for broke. how much of a gamble is this for him? even if it is further down the line, mid—october, he says after the european council meeting, if there is a vote of no confidence? he has planned this through. if they want him to... this article says, they have planned it all through and they want to force an extension of article 51, they are filibustering in the house of lords. and if there is a vote of no—confidence he will step down but he will call for an election. whichever way we go, it is very divisive, and the thing — i looked at all this, this planning and plotting, wouldn't it be good if we put that energy into dealing with

the eu! they say they are, that they are forcing this issue and negotiations are going on behind the scenes, who knows? who knows. for the eu, what are they to make of us? now is another curveball, it is just one after the other. the times says britain has been pushed to the brink ofa britain has been pushed to the brink of a constitutional crisis, much debate yesterday about the role of the queen and all of this. even though it was her right to in theory not agree to the proroguing, she couldn't do that. she wouldn't want to be seen to be interfering politically. how do you think this leaves her? i'm surprised more of the front pages haven't had pictures of her and questioned how she feels about this. how difficult is it for her? it is probably very difficult, because it is the right of the prime minister to ask for this. it is the right of a new cabinet to say, ok,

we wa nt right of a new cabinet to say, ok, we want a new queen's speech. it is very difficult. because it is such difficult times, he is really putting the cat amongst the pigeons. and to make matters worse, jeremy corbyn has written to the queen asking her to overturn the decision, which puts her in an even worse position. she can't do that. yes, he is the leader of the opposition, but that puts her in a very difficult position and she certainly won't be overturning it. i don't think — it is not her role to be dragged back and forth on brexit and all of these things. a picture of ruth davidson, the leader of the conservatives in scotland. of speculation that she will quit. we haven't heard a statement yet but it is still early. she has clashed with borisjohnson in the past, and she backed jeremy

corbyn in the leadership contest. she says it is not about this decision but it is about her family. i'm sure that's what she says. for the conservatives, it might be a sad thing, because she was the one success thing, because she was the one success story of the 2017 election. she got their scottish msps, she got them up from one to 13. she pleaded with boris johnson them up from one to 13. she pleaded with borisjohnson to keep the former scottish secretary on, and he sacked him and put in alistairjack, so sacked him and put in alistairjack, so she lost on that one. but scotla nd so she lost on that one. but scotland is — that's the thing. what will happen to the union? the scots are getting more and more to say ok, let's have another referendum, bring it on, and we may have more people

looking at leaving. what this may be doing is putting the union at risk, i don't know. it might be. quick look at the front page of the metro. borisjohnson look at the front page of the metro. boris johnson called a look at the front page of the metro. borisjohnson called a tinpot dictator. he says it has nothing to do with brexit. obviously no—one believes that in a million years. do with brexit. obviously no—one believes that in a million yearsm was wonderful when he gave the statement to the bbc yesterday morning, couldn't stop smiling while he said it was about the nhs, about more police, about investment in infrastructure and lowering the cost of living. it is clear what it is, but such as politics. great to have you with us. thank you for taking us through the papers. the sun is starting to come up on new day, and no—one is really clear what is going to happen next. stay with us, we will have all the latest.

hi there. temperatures still made the mid—20s celsius across the south—east of the country on wednesday, but as these weather fronts move through, they've introduced much fresher conditions off the atlantic. it's low pressure now in charge of the weather as we head on into the end of the week. in fact, there'll be a fair amount of rain in the forecast for some northern and western areas. thursday is looking fairly unsettled again across scotland and northern ireland thanks to this area of low pressure. it's going to be pretty windy here — gusts 30—a0mph in exposure. few showers or barely any showers the further south and east you go, and again, a fairly warm afternoon with temperatures reaching the mid—20s celsius. closer to the mid—to—high teens further north. as we move through thursday night it's going to remain windy across north—western areas. further cloud and outbreaks of rain piling into scotland and northern ireland. a few showers into the north—west of england. tending to stay dry across the south—east. but it'll be a cooler night for all of us, and temperatures ranging between 11—14 degrees.

on into friday, low pressure to the north of the uk. a conveyor belt of cloud and rain streaming in off the atlantic will bring quite a lot of rainfall in fact to parts of the north and the west of the uk, particularly across west and south—west scotland, into northern ireland. rainfall totals really mounting up here. but further south and east, again, closer to the high pressure over the near continent then, it should tend to stay dry with sunny spells, and again, feeling quite warm — 2a, 25 degrees. the mid—to—high teens again further north. now, into the weekend, it remains fairly unsettled, with further wind and certainly some rain around. and then it will turn even cooler as we head on into part two of the weekend, as we see winds switch to a north—westerly direction. so, as we move out of friday and into saturday, this next feature will bring quite a lot of rainfall again to northern and western areas. by this point, we could be looking at a few issues across south—west scotland, for dumfries and galloway, maybe four inches of rain falling by the time saturday's out. but this rain band will pivot round, pushing to western england, parts of wales, sunshine and showers follow on behind. but it still stays dry and fairly

warm across the far south—east — 20—211 degrees. something cooler pushing into the north—west. but as that front clears through during saturday night, then it opens the floodgates to a polar maritime north—westerly, and that'll be very noticeable right up and down the country. so a much fresher start to the day. plenty of sunshine and showers across northern and western areas. a few heavy, maybe thundery ones mixed in. again it could be the south and east that stays dry in the sunshine, but temperatures will struggle — ranging from 12 to 17 or 18 degrees.

good morning, welcome to breakfast, live from westminster with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: borisjohnson‘s suspension of parliament sparks protests and condemnation with opponents calling the prime minister's move a constitutional outrage. more than one million people have signed a protest petition but ministers argue there's plenty of time to debate brexit. after almost eight years as leader of the scottish conservatives, and campaigning to remain in the eu, ruth davidson is expected to quit her position. up for renewal — £26 billion worth of mortgages come to end of their fixed terms over the next few weeks.
