been the privilege of my life i stand absolutely foursquare behind the prime minister‘s to attempts to bring back a serve as leader of the deal that can scottish conservative and unionist party, pass in these past nearly eight years. this the house has been a remarkable time in of commons politics and i will always be and i ask my colleagues to also pass them. thankfulfor politics and i will always be thankful for the opportunity to have a front seat as well as the letter i published that i wrote to as scottish political the chairman of the scottish party, history was being made. i i have also written a formal letter to the prime minister as well, am so proud of the teams we have built and it is up to his office if they as choose to publish it or not, i am a party at holyrood, westminster and happy for them to do so, where i council chambers across the personally thanked him for his country. commitment to facing down another proud also of the work we have done independence referendum, to securing scotland‘s place in the union, to reach out to all and to his positivity, communities in scotland, north and south, rural or enthusiasm, understanding, in terms of urban, and after some sallow decades an to prove ourselves a engagement with scottish events, but also his understanding that truly national warm words often party once again. are not enough, —— fallow. but they have to for me, electoral be backed successes, while up by resource as well. one more question. undoubtedly important, compare people have accused boris johnson of not telling insignificance to the vital role in the truth and oui’ insignificance to the vital role in our party undertook in the campaign the referendum. to keep scotland as part of the do you think

united kingdom in that independence they are being referendum. it was, honest without doubt, about the the most important contribution of prospects in my working life, and i believe will a no remain so. it is therefore with a deal heavy heart that this morning i situation... wrote to the chairman of the inaudible scottish conservative party to tender my resignation. i explain there has been a lot said about my relationship the changes, both professional and with the personal, that have prompted this prime minister. decision. you all know i went to downing street last and i have never sought to hide the conflict week to meet him in a private i felt over brexit. despite that meeting, i stared him in conflict, i have attempted to chart the eye, a course for our party which i asked him outright, are you recognises and respects referendum i asked him outright, are you result while trying to trying to get a deal or not, maximise and he categorically opportunities and mitigate risks for assured me that he was, key scottish businesses and he believes his efforts in biarritz has helped open the door a crack. sectors. i hope and believe that industries i know that what would help further as diverse as ours would be for people who want fishing fleets and whisky producers have felt well to avoid no deal to come out and say that if a deal is brought back to represented by the scottish conservatives during this time. the parliament that they would back it this term in the way they have biggest change, however, failed to do already. has been so i want him to get that

starting a family. and i cannot deal, i believe that is thank my colleagues and especially what he and the government are working towards. jackson carlaw, our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. thank my colleagues and especially jackson ca rlaw, enough thank my colleagues and especially jackson carlaw, enough for their she said that those who generosity and support wanted to avoid a no deal had three to both open goals fallow and myself are the and they blew birth of baby finn. it made it, do you my return to work think they will have a possible and the flexibility from chance to rework collea g u es possible and the flexibility from colleagues has allowed me a deal? continuing everything we have seen so far is my role that the eu are playing as hardball. a few glimpses that perhaps they leader. would address the political declaration following those talks with our party through seven national chancellor merkel and the elections and two french president in biarritz, but at the referenda, i know moment the eu seems to be playing hardball, which is why there the hours required to fight such campaigns the hours required to fight such ca m pa ig ns successfully. the hours required to fight such campaigns successfully. and i have is so to be honest, where much unease about the move spied the idea of borisjohnson to suspend parliament, getting on the road to fight the obvious fear that two elections in 20 months would have that will basically mean mps have no fired me up, the threat of spending chance to hundreds of hours away from my home pass legislation, to block no deal,

and family now fills me with which means if the eu —— dread. and that is if the eu do not crack, we will be leaving on no way to october the 31st with no deal, and lead. additionally, ifear there has been more and that is no way to lead. additionally, i fear that having tried to be a good leader over the yea rs, tried to be a good leader over the years, i have criticism of that position this morning. we proved a poor heard from david liddington, daughter, sister, partner and friend. the party in my work greg clark, voicing their unease over it, —— the party and my work has always there‘s the resignation of lord come young, former leader of the, saying first, often at the expense of that he thought the role commitment to loved ones. of the parliament is being arrival of my son means i now make a different choice. i need threatened. a former minister who quit to thank the amazing people that over brexit this morning had even stronger words work in the to say. have a listen. scottish conservative central office, and my own parliamentary what the prime minister is doing is taking a team. they really do spin straw wrecking ball into gold. my intention is to to our continue in constitution. my role as legally it is fine, it is the mp for edinburgh first ina series legally it is fine, it is the first in a series of moves designed to central until 2021. i will always, muzzle parliament from holding him my role as mp for edinburgh central until 2021. iwill always, always my role as mp for edinburgh central until 2021. i will always, always be to account on a thankfulfor until 2021. i will always, always be thankful for the opportunity to serve in the amazing teams no—deal brexit. there is still time to i have worked alongside. and of course, i debate this. but he is squeezing will continue to support the party,

the prime minister and scotland's the amount of time possible, so place in the united kingdom from the backbenches and beyond. in we need to... terms of it final thoughts, i will be very difficult to do this in the time constraint that believe that two is referenda have split scotland and available. indeed opinion in the uk, and so, strong i am convinced the referenda should be words from used to affirm public opinion, but sam gyimah, not as a way for political leaders talking about a wrecking ball to to fail to lead. the constitution, which follows looking at the similar division in our politics, i make remarks from others. i am joined this plea. the by a leading brexiteers. what do you vast majority of say to the likes of sam people who go into politics do so gyimah and those who share his view? it is a for the right reasons, to matter of fact that all those names improve their communities and countries. and you reeled off are all i believe we should always remainers, they do not want us to leave remember that. respect is what the european union, so i'm not surprised is missing they would stay this from our debates, and without —— say this. respect you cannot have understanding and you cannot unite, but it is now the norm which is what we in scotland and in we normally rise for three weeks in late the uk need to do. thank september, early october for the you very much, andi the uk need to do. thank you very party conferences, basically much, and i will take some questions. brian one week each. that has become a custom

taylor, bbc. and practice. so we were due to come brian back provisionally on the 8th taylor, thanks very much for of october anyway. now we are going to your statement. i acknowledge the come back on the point made about it being personal and 14th of october, so professional, but if i may stick to slightly later, but we only use the political for a second, you have literally a handful of sitting been clear for the personal reasons, days, so oi'i been clear for the personal reasons, on the subject of the political literally a handful of sitting days, so all this stuff about it being an problems you face, do you think, outrage, it is all complete when you look at pursuit nonsense and the reason i think that the of a possible no—deal brexit, but the remainers are reacting like this is because they began to realise uk government's policy with regard to finally we the european union is wise are actually and sensible? in terms leaving at of the politics halloween, it has finally sunk in, and the political colliding, i am and these people are screaming blue about to marry an irish women, and murder because we now want there is an irish saying that size to leave if you want to get somewhere, the european union, and that's not what they want. what happens if they you wouldn't necessarily start from succeed? they here. i think we had three golden what they want. what happens if they succeed ? they want what they want. what happens if they succeed? they want to pass legislation, they can still do it. opportunities to support a what happens if a bill is passed deal and that says the uk cannot leave i think people saying right now that they would do anything without ideal unless it is to avoid no with the deal, they had a goal gaping express permission of parliament? well, we had something like in front of them three times and hit this in the summer, which is the ball over the bar, and for all

the ball over the bar, and for all the elaborate plans on bringing down now time expired, that got through government and installing ken clarke by one and harriet harman onjob share vote. they then tried to pull the government and installing ken clarke and harriet harman on job share as prime minister, the simplest way to trick againjust before vote. they then tried to pull the trick again just before the vote. they then tried to pull the trick againjust before the summary cesc and lost. avoid no deal is to —— the summer vote for a deal, recess, and i've never served in the house and lost because a of commons, i'm number of mps not an official abstained. the public made had won “— their of commons, i'm not an official had won —— aficionado of erskine may, views very plain in the european but my feeling is you cannot bring elections. you now have all the down legislation that has already former theresa may supporters, people like philip been... i would urge to hammond, greg colleagues who want to avoid no deal, clark, rowing and behind these people. well, i would vote for a deal, you've had three imagine that the maths would be quite close, opportunities, you blew everyone would be my guess, but are these of them, do not blow a fourth. the prime minister is seeking to get a people doing the right thing? no, deal, i have had long conway is run a national conversations andi deal, i have had long conversations and i believe him when he says he is poll about a fortnight ago. 88% of the public seeking to get a deal. for said they thought their mps were those people trying to avoid no deal, now out of make it clear now that if a deal comes touch over back to the house of commons, you will vote for it, and let the their position eu hear you say that you will in brexit, so there is a vote for it, so they understand that there is fundamental a reason for them to reopen point you cannot escape. the people

voted to leave the european negotiations. peter. union and i'm afraid at some peter smith, point philip itv news. you obviously have hammond and ko and i'm afraid at some point philip hammond and k0 are going to have to personal reasons for leaving, would acce pt hammond and k0 are going to have to accept that because all they are you like to deliver a message doing is anything they can to keep us doing is anything they can to keep directly to boris johnson today to us in the eu against tell him what the wishes of his red his the people. that is not democratic. brexit path will ultimately be for scotland as the bottom line, whatever in the uk? the public happens, we are message is the now inexorably same asi in the uk? the public message is the same as i conveyed to him when we heading towards a general election? had a conversation last night. after the last three years, making predictions is risky. but i prime minister, get us a deal in the will european union. and what i have a go. i would say the would say odds of to the people who want to avoid no leaving at halloween are now greater deal is what i than 95%, i really do believe we are said. for god's site, going to leave the european union. get behind it, and at the fourth and we have to do that in time of asking, vote order to maintain the faith of our own for it. if you people in the democratic process can stand behind borisjohnson, why should the scottish because almost every mp in the house of and british commons voted to have a public, and the question is, referendum. everybody promised to respect the has he result. three years on we haven't weakened the union?” public, and the question is, has he weakened the union? i have made done it because a lot of mps got clear that i an answer from the people they did not

stand absolutely expect to one. foursquare behind the prime minister's attempts to bring back a and a general deal that can pass in the house of election? under the fixed—term commons and i ask my colleagues parliaments act, theoretically will to have a general election in the also pass them. as well as the letter i published that i wrote to spring of 2022. i don't know how the chairman of the scottish many people that i don't know many people who think we will get party, i have also written a formal letter that far. i would guess some point in the to the prime minister as well, and next six months, but i think after it is up to his office if they we left rather than before. thanks choose to publish it or not, i am very much. we faced happy for them to the titanic —— do so, where i we face a personally thanked him for his commitment to facing titanic for days down another when mps independence referendum, securing next week have scotland's place in perhaps the last the union, and window to raise to his positivity, enthusiasm, legislation to understanding, in terms of an outlaw no engagement with scottish events, but also his understanding that warm deal. thanks words often are not enough, they have to be backed up by resources very much. well. one more question. just a people have reminder that accused borisjohnson of well. one more question. people have accused boris johnson of not telling the there is

truth an... there is another challenge to the and suspension going on in the the courts in belfast as well. of referendum. inaudible course, so many questions thrown up by the events of there has been the last 24 hours. we will be trying a lot said about my relationship our best to answer as many of those with the prime minister. as i went to downing street last week possible to meet him in a private meeting, i stared him in the eye, coming i act him —— up asked him outright, are you trying at to get a deal or not, and he 12:30pm, categorically assured me that he was, he believes his with dr catherine haddon — a senior fellow at the institute for government. efforts in so please do get in touch biarritz has helped open the door a with whatever questions crack. i know that what would help you might have for her — the contact details further would be for people who want are on to avoid no deal to come out and say that if a deal is brought back to your screen parliament that they would back it now. an investigation has found this term in the way they have that it‘s still too easy failed to do already. for children to buy knives on the high street — so i want him that‘s despite major retailers to get that deal, i believe that is pledging to end illegal sales. trading standards say underaged what he and the government are shoppers were sold knives on more than 300 occasions in a year working towards, and i support him when their teams carried out tests

in that effort. leaders and at various national chains gentlemen, thank you so much, not and independent stores. just for today, for the last we can now speak to eight yea rs. just for today, for the last eight years. it has been a pleasure, the labour peer and chairman of national trading standards, thank you. ruth davidson confirming lord toby harris. hejoins us from our her decision to step down as westminster studio. scottish conservative leader after eight very good afternoon yea rs. conservative leader after eight years. she said her primary reasons to you. good we re years. she said her primary reasons were personnel after the birth of afternoon. it would be great to get her son towards the first of all sense of the people end of last who we re first of all sense of the people who were sent in to test this. how year, and that one is the thought of younger they look, and what getting on the road to fight level of elections would have fired her up, scrutiny, if any did they face? it now fills her with dread, and well, this was something the home thatis office asked us to do. it is that it now fills her with dread, and that is no way to lead, but she also local trading standards are addressed the political issues that she has faced, her accustomed to do in terms of disagreement with underage sales of alcohol or borisjohnson she has faced, her disagreement with boris johnson and others she has faced, her disagreement with borisjohnson and others in the conservative party over cigarettes, so they have brexit, her a routine whereby it is often absolute rejection of the idea of a family members no—deal brexit, nonetheless of staff or others significantly she did say in that question and answer who go into shops concerned and try to purchase the session, i items, obviously it is very believe boris johnson question and answer session, i believe borisjohnson when he says carefully regulated and there are he is trying to get a deal. she all sorts of rules about it, but referred to a meeting with him at thatis all sorts of rules about it, but that is the process and frankly they downing street last week, she said i we re that is the process and frankly they were able to do this

stared him in the eye and he by buying categorically assured me he was. knives when that it is actually isa categorically assured me he was. it is a big blow for the scottish illegal, too conservatives, her departure under often. it her leadership, their was about fortunes absolutely revived in scotland, the party more than doubled its number 15% in retail shops, and of seats in holyrood at 2016, to online it was become the main 40%. one in seven. how important is opposition party, it that this is clamped down on? if and in the 2017 general election we look at the scourge of knife increased its number of mps from crime, the number of deaths caused 1-13 increased its number of mps from 1—13 under her by the number of stabbings in leadership. lorna gordonjoins us recent times, how important an element or pa rt times, how important an element or now live. part of the solution is this? well, she is and was listening to that in it would be silly to pretend that if the last few minutes. let's begin you stopped underage sales that with the assurance from ruth would automatically end knife crime, davidson, saying that she but it is one component of a whole believes borisjohnson when he says he is series of measures that the trying to get a deal with government quite properly once to the eu. ta ke to government quite properly once to how significant is bad, given take to make it more difficult for young people to obtain and carry their differences? yes, ruth davidson knives. of course, we understand has that an older person could buy one never been the greatest fan of boris johnson, she didn't vote for and give it to them, or they could him in steal one from the kitchen drawer or the conservative party leadership whatever else, but the reality is we election, in fact she was in the anyone but boris wa nt to

whatever else, but the reality is we want to get the message across, the camp. she said government wants to get the message across that carrying a knife is after he gained the premiership to dangerous for a young person, judge him by his actions. in the dangerous for a young person, last few minutes we heard that she dangerous to themselves and other met with him in a private people. an anti-knife crime meeting in campaigneri people. an anti-knife crime campaigner i spoke to earlier said downing street last week, where he the sanctions at the moment for assured her during the meeting that retailers who sell knives he was trying to get to underage people are basicallyjust a a deal. it was slap on the wrist, and he was a point she made repeatedly calling for a much tougher during that very short question and sanctions. is that something you would support? i think at this stage answer session, where she took we simply need to understand the three, scale of the problem, perhaps four questions in total. she said she stands behind the and also the prime major retailers in particular are minister, but interestingly she going through a big learning curve wouldn't be drawn on what she on all of this, they thought his actions, the effect his have all actions might have on the introduced new processes, and in other some cases have stopped selling union, the union of the united knives altogether. i think we need kingdom. but she did make clear to follow that through, but this is that important ammunition which i know she thought he was sincere the government want to discuss and determined in his efforts to get a with representatives of the retail trade deal with the eu. to see what more can be done. and what does her so you have alluded to the departure mean for the fortunes of the conservative party in scotland retailers explaining about how they more broadly? i outlined the sell knives or more training to their su ccesses more broadly? i outlined the

successes the party has had under her leadership, but staff, but presumably you want them to get on track with this vast otherwise you won‘t be it presents potentially a different time for the so generous, party, doesn't it? yes, and perhaps allowing them some more time to sort themselves out. there ithink there will be challenges ahead are things they could be doing for now, for example many retailers only there will be challenges ahead for the scottish conservatives. it is ha rd to overstate the scottish conservatives. it is display cigarettes behind hard to overstate the impact ruth a counter, davidson has had on often in locked cabinets, similarly the party here in scotland. she has in some cases with alcohol. they could do the same with knives, which really been would mean the salesperson at transformational in their fortunes. only at the helm of the till would have to turn them for eight yea rs, only at the helm of them for eight years, the results since she round, extra ct till would have to turn round, extract the item, and that is the point at which they would check the took on the role of leader of the party age of the person purchasing. that seems to be something they could here have been really quite institute fairly simply and that impressive. a would be within the spirit of good result in the last the law. lord harris, thank you very general election, a bakers dozen of mps at much forjoining us to talk about that today. lord toby harris, the westminster, a good result in the chair of last holyrood election which saw the national trading conservatives overtaking labour standards. to become the official opposition at the headlines on bbc news... a government whip in holyrood, she really has had a big the house of lords resigns — impact on the party here in lord young says borisjohnson‘s decision to suspend parliament risks fundamentally undermining it. scotland, and there are no the leader of the obvious successor is to take her place. you scottish conservatives,

ruth davidson, has also resigned. know, this is a leader who, at she‘s been a vocal critic of the pm‘s approach to brexit, one point, was being called a possible but also said she wanted to spend future prime minister. she always time with her family. said herfuture a hearing on an emergency motion future prime minister. she always to block the prime minister‘s said her future lay future prime minister. she always said herfuture lay in decision to suspend parliament edinburgh and is getting underway in the court she wished... she of session tipped her hat to in the political and said after many edinburgh. yea rs of the political and said after many years of making many sacrifices, her family had to come first. lorna, you away from politics, let‘s may not have had the opportunity to see the tweet from nicola sturgeon, head to the the snp leader and scottish first minister, saying, iwish sports the snp leader and scottish first minister, saying, i wish ruth well for the future. i know well news. that all political leadership can take on family life, and no one will be richer and more time with her young son. there will be opportunity later let‘s start in new york to discuss the politics of her and the us open — where three of the biggest names opposition, but for now i will in tennis are all safety simply send my best wishes. that through to the third round. but it wasn‘t all plain is the response from nicola sturgeon. sailing for roger federer, novak djokovic or serena williams, how much respect as they are between as jim lumsden reports. serena williams has a few goals the two women? these days, but she still one short well, it's been of the grand a slam record at

feisty relationship, they have a 24 titles. combative turn most weeks in first minister's questions in the holyrood chamber, a few hundred metres away i have just i havejust made from the hotel here, but i think i have just made so i havejust made so many i have just made so many errors i havejust made so many errors in the first two sets, and there were there is mutual respect, you know, just too many, they are both you cannot win accomplished debaters, tournaments making so many errors, soi tournaments making so many errors, so i knew i had to play better, but on opposite sides and of that debate knew i couldn‘t. so i knew i had to play better, and knew i couldn't. no so i knew i had to play better, and knewl couldn't. no doubt so i knew i had to play better, and knew i couldn't. no doubt jock vitch over where scotland's future lies. has roger federer‘s 20 grand nicola sturgeon took a slam record in his sights. very important and key role, she was he currently isa-- deputy first minister in record in his sights. he currently is a —— resigns on 16 and a six the 2014 yea rs is a —— resigns on 16 and a six years younger than his scottish referendum, and ruth rival. he was davidson was one of the leading lights in the campaign for the troubled less by union, but i think everyone is the argentinian aware it is primarily personal londero, due to a shoulder injury.” reasons driving her decision today, albeit did not know whether i would be able that of course she has no to finish the match, i am really fan of a no—deal brexit either. glad i have, i'm going —— she is to assess no this injury tomorrow. flushing fan. meadow is thank you. is not the government has insisted a happy

a deal, in other words that 17—year—old, a 17—year—old boy from the nearby he is not giving up and is now community of derry hill, was arrested and charged with murder. we on course to no deal. if anything she slightly have not been able to cranked up the pressure on those who identify him might be her natural because of the reporting restrictions in place, the fact allies of westminster, those who previously he was under 18. today that backed mrs may's deal, saying that if borisjohnson boy appeared in the dock, backed mrs may's deal, saying that if boris johnson gets backed mrs may's deal, saying that if borisjohnson gets real, you have got to back it, more than that it he stood a would be be helpful if you publicly bright, open neck shirt, he side you would be prepared confirmed his name and confirmed to bring he back any sort of deal mrjohnson was pleading guilty. after that there was a legal argument and gets because that will encourage the eu in turn the judge decided, having talked about the severity of this to maybe reopen the case, and the negotiations, because if ruth fa ct the severity of this case, and the fact the defendant will be 18 by the davidson had ta ken time he is sentenced in november, negotiations, because if ruth davidson had taken the alternative course and had got stuck in to boris to lift the reporting restrictions to johnson, that would really, i allow this young man, or teenage boy think, have put rocket boosters under the as he is at the moment looming disquiet and revolt to be named, so we can confirm that his name among the many tory mps, we have already is thomas griffiths, from derry hill, seen the likes of former big hitters just a like philip hammond, others who few miles have come out today, greg clark, away from david liddington, all getting tore into ellie the idea that parliament can be gould. both families

suspended for five weeks. if she were in court, had come out and allied herself with them, i think she may well have been sitting apart, but watching thomas griffiths as he sat in the a figurehead for dock. the judge told him he that sort of would be sentenced result. she would in november, and psychiatric and have given it psychological reports would be carried out in the meantime. but the momentum and impact, she hasn't, she judge said that given the severity of this case and the unusual nature, has said give borisjohnson a chance, so i think in number he would expect ten a life sentence. they will be hugely relieved. we have been talking about the timeline families now leaving court here in of what happens next. how much bristol, to return in time november, one is therefore the respective sides and all of this to get done what imagines, they want to get done, particularly for those trying to stop a no—deal sentencing. brexit, because they are the the home secretary priti patel, people is meeting her french complaining that the government's counterpart in paris today, decision has squeeze the amount of to discuss ways to deal time they have got? with the rise mrjohnson's opponents have concluded that next in illegal migrants week is it, they crossing to the estimate four days, uk by boat. just four days from tuesday to come more than 1,000 migrants up have managed to cross just four days from tuesday to come up and pass some sort from the french coast to the uk this year, more than three of bill that will innovate out low no deal. they times the figure for the whole of last year. will innovate out low no deal. they will have to pass that in the from the coast of northern france, our europe reporter,

teeth of opposition, from gavin borisjohnson and his supporters, and i would lee, suggest that as a gargantuan task, not quite mission reports. impossible. getting very close indeed. at the same time we have seen the same sort of counteroffensive from mr welcome to gravelines. johnson's supporters, a picture—perfect french coastal town by day, its harbour is now a magnet jacob for migrants at night. rees—mogg, leader of the house, translation: they fled like rabbits saying the only constitutional outrage as the moves by mrjohnson's when they saw the light of the car. they were trying to see opponents to try to get round the if they could steal a boat. result of the jean—pierre shows me where his £7,000 motorboat was moored. brexit referendum. all that‘s left is a severed rope. accusing opponents of a candy floss he says his boat was stolen and discovered in british waters confection of with eight migrants on board. the vessel is still in outrage. the hands of uk authorities. this is completely constitutional, translation: we are not rich people, and proper, there is going to be we can‘t afford to buy lots of time to debate a new boat every month before 31st october, because migrants are stealing them. parliament will be sitting then, it is sad for those and will be able to have people but what about us? whatever motions it i am telling you, i won‘t wants. let it happen again. i will defend myself the best i can. i think the outrage is phony, and i won‘t let my boat it is created by people who don't want be stolen again. us a community night patrol has been is created by people who don't want us to leave the european union and are trying very hard to overturn the set up by the boat owners, who say they live in referendum result and don't want the fear of the migrants, benefits of who are searching the area by leaving the

night. the vessels are all now chained european in place, including the french union,... at the same coastal rescue boat. time as ruth some are davidson's resignation we have also alarmed. had the resignation of alarm blares this man offers to show me lord young, what it is like attempting george young, david cameron's to cross the channel. forma he says it is too dangerous leader of the house, former to attempt the whole transport secretary, who is quitting because of prorogation because he believes borisjohnson's here, in the middle of the channel, decision challenges and threatens the i already get a sense of how strong fundamental role of parliament, and the current is, he says borisjohnson's decision and today is relatively to suspend parliament raises a question about whether he has the calm. you can see why this is called one confidence of parliament. at the same time, of the busiest shipping lanes some of those now in the world, with the freight traffic going across, who have allied and the ferries themselves to borisjohnson have had from dover to calais. migrants are taking smaller boats remarks which they made during than this to make the journey, the and the boat owners here say leadership campaign castigating the it is far too dangerous, idea of prorogation thrown back and lives are massively at them, in particular the health at risk. this is the main base secretary matt hancock, who for migrants in northern france, a disused gym you may remember suggested proroguing parliament would be an insult to the in dunkirk. likes of the d—day veterans and aid agencies say around 1200 people live in tents here, theirfight forfreedom. numbers that have grown likes of the d—day veterans and slowly since the closure their fight for freedom. this morning this is what he had to say of the calais jungle. about that. no—one is willing to

talk to us on camera about how they made their smuggled good morning, journey across by boat. how are one man, zalilfrom iran, says he paid £3,000 to get you? in a boat, that he made it with 11 others to dover, and was picked up by borderforce, questioned by police, then spent 40 days in a detention centre. barry gardner this morning he was returned to france, was flown to toulouse, saying his party kept open and he is back here now. the option of pressing for a no—confidence vote but at the moment their he‘s going to try somehow, he says, to get back there. prime there are other similar stories. strategy was to try to get some sort those who have made it have of legislation to been sent back again. ayearago, migrants ensure mrjohnson illegally crossing by boat seemed a rare occurrence. could not take us out without now it a deal. and he also accused mrjohnson is happening of lying about his reasons for suspending every week. parliament. the italian president has given it has been really quite ridiculous outgoing prime minister for numberten to guiseppe conte permission to form it has been really quite ridiculous for number ten to say this is simply a new government, after about normal politics, it is the five star movement and opposition democratic party about agreed to form a coalition. getting on with the domestic agenda. the previous joint government — between the populist everyone knows it is not the case, five star movement and so nationalist lega nord — collapsed next week. everyone knows it is not the case, so the facility with which they have come out this morning and simply

lied about it is really quite extraordinary. lied about? nationalist lega nord — lied about what this is all about. collapsed —— last week. it is about preventing mr conte resigned after lega nord‘s the will of parliament leader tabled a motion and stopping them from ensuring of no—confidence against the prime minister. that the government does the new coalition will serve until the next that, so we will initiate a standing scheduled elections in 2023. order, section 24 debate, an at least 25 people have been killed emergency debate to try and do that. in a fire at a bar in mexico. what is that debate about? police say gang members, to what end? recently released from prison, the end would be to force are thought to be behind the blaze the government by law to seek an in the city of veracruz which left extension from the european union another 11 people badly injured. so that the deadline of the 31st of ramzan october is karmali no longer reports. there was confusion, there. shock and despair outside so, a lot of argy—bargy, the caballo blanco bar, in coatzacoalcos. a lot of these mothers wanted answers. translation: they don't tell us anything, manoeuvring, a couple of theyjust try to make us go away. resignations, where does it all we have not been end? well, i suspect probably in a given general election because however you any information. cut and slice this, it is hard to translation: what i want to know see we don't end up there, is if he is well or not, and if we whatever god says. look at mrjohnson's premiership, he mexican police did eventually say the attack on the bar seems to have been paving the way was carried out by gangsters. almost from a soon as he they fired at the stepped into number ten, with a series nightspot

and threw molotov cocktails of high—profile announcements on more inside. police officers, more cash at least two dozen people were killed and many seriously injured. for the nhs, spraying billions around all this is the worst single over the place, even act of violence since andres manuel lopez 0brador promised a spending —— we've been promised became president in december. a spending —— we've been promised a spending round for a new expenditure he promised his term from government departments, and you would bring peace. get the sense that wherever translation: it is shameful that organised criminals act like this. this ends up, whether mps are successful to act this way in introducing this legislation or is the most shameful thing there not, it now seems an increasingly likely outcome. ok, thank is. the president also said there would be an investigation you very into whether any collusion took much. elsewhere, the place between the authorities and the criminals chancellorjohn mcdonnell is setting who carried out the out labour's approach... attack. gang violence, often driven by the drug trade, is not uncommon in mexico, rest assured you and the region where this attack took place is known to be one will all be of the most violent in the country. ramzar kamali, invited to that lunch. thank you for bbc news. coming this morning. well, that was good timing! terrible greta thunberg, the teenage environmental activist, has arrived in new york timing in after spending two weeks crossing the atlantic on a yacht to avoid tv terms the carbon emissions of flying. she‘s due to speak at a un summit

has to be debated. then on the 9th letters get more on the resignation of ruth davies. she said it of october, i think, they have to report and had been five days after that the government privilege of has to hold a debate on her life its. that is the 14th of october which is why to serve. we think that debate has joining me now isjo tanner, been chosen. that is why the government has a former conservative party staffer and friend chosen this gap to set of ruth in the prorogue. davidson's. does it set a precedent she has her critics, what politician for government to suspend parliament does not but many people see each and every time they fear parliament might oppose their will? her as a very authentic person this is the nub of the issue and of all politician and under her leadership, that which everyone is worried election results have shown that about, is what it means in terms as well. what has it of how the government is being the been about her role leadership which has revived the of parliament during the school conservative fortunes in period and what president scotland? it sets? leadership which has revived the conservative fortunes in scotland ?|j conservative fortunes in scotland?” if you start to think her leadership has an impact ignore fundamental overall in constitutional conventions, principles of how our terms of democracy the works and who has supremacy, what conservative's fortunes. she has president does that set for the been very restoration and has future? does it open a can of worms a different approach. people have where governments try to do this in

found her to be very authentic, the future? there has at a time when our politicians seem been a lot of quite aloof and removed from what the talk about a parliament act, if electorate believe they are there there is a vote of no confidence, to will the government resign do. the statement today shows that or not? she is trying to ensure she still fundamental issues in our remains 22 what means a constitution which we are either sidestepping or potentially ignoring lot to her, in which is very worrying making this decision. how important and damaging you think it will be potentially for the long—term future for boris of constitution. another question. johnson that in that statement, although she alluded to the fact another question. they have not seen iti what happens if the eu has a change although she alluded to the fact they have not seen it! with him on a of heart during the shutdown? lot of things politically recently, the government continues in office that she said that some street nei so if the eu come back and say we and believed him when he said he was trying to get a deal with can see a way to a deal, there is the eu?” some change to the backstop, think it will mean a lot. i do something that boris johnson not think it will mean a lot. i do not think she would have said it if it some change to the backstop, something that borisjohnson wants to get, the government can still go was not the truth. going back to the point that she is authentic away and negotiate and she that during this speaks very much street. prorogue. they are also cutting the she speaks amount of time they have in as she finds. parliament when it bat she is returns. they have a few number of sitting days a straight talker. she does not

in order to bring through legislation want to be seen that they want to get it all done to be having a major and dusted by the 31st of division with someone who has such an important october, it seems unlikely they would have position in british politics and who the time to do that. we will have for some time to sometimes ask who will blink first but the come. how ha rd will have for some time to come. how hard has this decision been time in which to for her? do this is getting she said the idea of squeezed on all sides. absolutely. getting on a wooden facing an election once fired this move may have had on herup, she the dissolve on those who are opposed to wooden facing an election once fired her up, she has lived and breathed no deal and make them act sooner so politics so house —— so how hard was we may see more action next it for her to step down?” week than we would have done. thank you politics so house —— so how hard was it for her to step down? i think very hard. lots ofjournalists very much doctor catherine haddon and other politicians have had to come on “— very much doctor catherine haddon to come on —— for coming on and dancing heavy hearts that the thought of an those questions. thank you for those election. and all of the of you who predictions what might be coming next sol sent in those election. and all of the predictions what might be coming next so i do not think she is alone in feeling questions. that. i saw her earlier in —— and answering those the year with her son questions. if we didn‘t get a chance to answer your questions now, and her partner, we will be doing another special "ask this" they have a lovely family now. i at 3.30 this afternoon. this time with drjoelle grogan, know she a senior lecturer in law was enjoying being on maternity at middlesex university. so please do get in touch leave and endsleigh. you have to with whatever questions recognise that it years in you might have for her —

the contact details a job, are on being leader of the opposition, she has done a lot of great stuff your screen and to set up the scottish surely well but now. there is a point, i set up the scottish surely well but there is a point, lam set up the scottish surely well but there is a point, i am a working mum andl there is a point, i am a working mum and i know some of those choices that need to be made. the the anti—brexit former campaignergina miller — sports minister wrote an interesting who previously won a legal battle piece this summer about against ministers over article 50 — her conflict has made a judicial review application to the courts in terms of taking a role in about mrjohnson‘s government are spending more time decision. earlier i spoke to her and began with her son. you do not get this by asking what grounds time back with your children so it she is isa time back with your children so it is a big decision. basing her i think, yes, time back with your children so it is a big decision. ithink, yes, she has had a long think about this application on. but it is not something she has done overnight. what you think will be the impact of her departure on the conservative fortunes in scotland in the immediate future and the uc ruth davidson coming back into the public rule at some the grounds are quite simply that point down the legitimate powers that sit with the prime minister are being used in an illegal manner line? -- and do uc. that is in that the effect or intention of this prorogation for five weeks a point, people forget how young she would be to hamper the hands

of parliament and deny them is, she only the ability to pass legislation turned 40 last year. we have to to stop no deal, if that is what they wish to do remember that turned 40 last year. we have to rememberthat our turned 40 last year. we have to remember that our politicians are so it is about limiting the voice getting younger and they have many of parliament and as the representative democracy, years ahead to serve in different our view is that is illegal. is it about the intention behind ways so i certainly hope this action of provoking parliament she will return to front line politics in the or is it challenging the legality of the advice given future but this is about time she to the will get back with her son and that prime minister? is very important. i asked you about ——proroguing. it is both because it the fortune of the scottish conservatives, i then fled difficult time now? ruth has is challenging the legality of the advice put that party in given to the queen by the prime minister to prorogue parliament. scotland and a great place. they this is not a usual use are a force to be of this power, in modern times we reckoned with. they have not have held the scottish government to seen parliament prorogued for five weeks, whatever number ten may say. account and even just the fortunes it is using a legitimate power, of having more scottish we believe, in an illegal manner to close down parliament and deny representation in westminster from it its voice. the conservative point of what you say to the 17 million view has people have voted to leave the eu beena the conservative point of view has who might say you‘re been a major issue, from representing industries like the talking about defending democracy whisky producers, fisheries that we have mentioned, there are a lot but you are thwarting democracy of as far as we are concerned. important industries in scotland i have a stronger voice as a result of i find it an extraordinary comment that actually ensuring

what the conservatives have parliamentary sovereignty, done. which is one of the the decisions they make now about who takes over will be crucial but main reasons ruth davidson will still be part of people voted to leave, they wanted parliament to be sovereign, that group which means she will there would be any problem with defending that sovereignty. still have an important part to it is a pure nonsense argument play and help shape what happens to argue that defending democracy and sovereignty is thwarting next and the will of the people. provide valuable support for whoever it is takes over. exactly what thank you people voted very much. for. a tenage boy has pleaded guilty to the murder of a 17—year—old schoolgirl it comes as ruth davidson ellie gould, who was stabbed to death at a has resigned as leader of the scottish conservatives — house urging borisjohnson to strike in wiltshire in may. a brexit agreement with the eu before the end of october. thomas griffiths, who is also 17, appeared at bristol crown she said her decision to step down was primarily for personal reasons — court this after becoming a mother last year — morning. but acknowledged her internal conflict an investigation has found that it's still too easy for children to buy knives on the high street — over that's despite major brexit. retailers pledging to end illegal sales. she‘s previously criticised trading standards say underaged mrjohnson‘s approach. shoppers were sold knives on more than 300 occasions in a year joining me now is

when their teams carried out tests the conservative msp at various national chains and independent stores. it's all fairly new. cabinet we've covered nation—wide to get he figures so we are, in i am fairly shocked that we've got scotland. such a high percentage. we want to do is just get those her comments could have been figures down and help retailers to do the right thing harsher, she said she looked him in el harsher, she said she looked him in to prevent selling knives. ei and believed him when he said it a few minutes ago, the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell was “— finished giving a speech ei and believed him when he said it was —— he would get on no in westminster in which he callled sajid javid's use of the upcoming deal. ei and believed him when he said it spending review a "pre—election, was -- he would get on no deal. ruth davidson‘s resignation is for the reason she has given in her panic—driven, stunt published letter and statement this morning, it is a family budget". affair. she and we can speak to became a mother recently and she the shadow has chancellor john mcdonnell given eight years of extraordinary service to the scottish conservative now. thank you forjoining party u nto us. is service to the scottish conservative party unto the uk conservative everything getting up party. she has led us to for an referendums election? it looks on multiple elections, she has like it. tripled the number of elected everything we have seen coming out parliamentarians in scotland. when of number ten and from she became leader we had savage avid one mp and is looking like this is 15 msps in holland and we a series of now have pre—election sun stunts and they triple that under will then go her leadership. an

into major election extraordinary leadership. she has campaign in october, given and given for eight difficult november. can yea rs given and given for eight difficult years to this party and labour capitalise on the general now she is situation, how ready are euphoric entirely right to say she wants to general election. given that there prioritise the time she has with her result was been a big debate over family. this is not the leadership ofjeremy a resignation corbyn? which is caused by brexit or result was been a big debate over the leadership of jeremy corbyn? we have been ready for general election boris johnson. that is not what i since the last was one. because we suggesting in the question but obviously she brought that subject knew that their cities on up obviously she brought that subject up and it is motivated by me regime was personal an administration that the majority reasons but she was reliant on the dup so an acknowledged that as election could come well... it is important we at any time. understand that, the tool that —— but that theresa may political leadership takes on family regime. boris life is really important to johnson, bring it on. ithink but that theresa may regime. boris johnson, bring it on. i think we will be confident of securing a be understood. she has been a star turn majority on the basis of for the scottish conservatives and notjust will be difficult to what is happening around brexit but follow, who may also our political programme of do that, yourself? she will ending acidity and investing in be a difficult act to follow, she has public services and making sure been an extraordinary leader but people have a decent income. we through all those months of government to have a good study under the leadership team. we have

of the people theresa may when labour should have to go toe—to—toe with their scottish had a stonking lead in the nationals party. we think polls, but the pools were we can go not showing that, toe—to—toe as a strong group where they? that would never be the of men and women in the scottish case when brexit hangs over conservative party to defeat the the will scottish nationals at the next of domestic politics. he had election and that is what seen what is interesting, theresa may we intend to do. other scottish is goes, i knew prime minister, we expect a bounce in the polls but he united with the point that ruth davidson has less than theresa may so made, she wants to avoid no it does not bode well for deal and capitalise on the opportunities for borisjohnson. in recent polls we have been on the scottish business and scottish life head. as you will see generally and mitigate against the risk of a no deal? in the coming there is no months, people will debate notjust difference of view here between ruth brexit but more importantly davidson, michael gove and boris in some johnson. none of them is ways, the key domestic policies like the impact of universal credit, pursuing a no—deal brexit, everyone wants cuts in our schools and the nhs, all of to avoid it but we have commitments thoseissues made to the british people that we in our schools and the nhs, all of those issues you will see that labour can bring forward their would know the results of the referendum. we will leave the policies. let us return to european union. we would all prefer the immediate issue which is to leave with a deal and dealing with this suspension of parliament. the prime minister and the team are

there are legal challenges going on strenuously pursuing that and we will see what happens. but in terms of he did not what mps can do a nswer will see what happens. he did not answer when i asked if you are empowerment week, what realistically interested in standing to can be achieved between next tuesday and the become the next conservative leader, are you? suspension? the when ruth davidson was on cross-party maternity group is leave earlier this year, jackson ca rlaw leave earlier this year, jackson meeting, the carlaw stood in for her as into the media and she did an outstanding job various experts from different parties, andi media and she did an outstanding job including experienced conservative and i understand he will do that mps as well, legal experts looking again. there will be a lot at the mechanisms we of conversations to be had with a lot can use next of people for the future of week. we are looking at the conservative party in scotland but a legislative proposal and that is at the moment, today is the best me to start, to ensure about celebrating the achievements of ruth we can davidson over the last restore democracy. is the eight years time to and getting behind borisjohnson and ta ke restore democracy. is the time to take other steps you need to take? jackson carlaw as interim leader and that is the giving them the support we problem. that is can. thank you very much exactly the problem. the conference recess for your time. but first the headlines has not been on bbc news... agreed yet, obviously a government whip in the house of lords resigns — pa rt has not been agreed yet, obviously lord young says borisjohnson‘s part of this suspension would decision to suspend parliament risks include the time that party fundamentally undermining

conferences take place. is it. there any the leader of the suggestion mps could vote to shorten scottish conservatives, ruth davidson, has also resigned. the recess by shortening the time she‘s been a vocal critic of the pm‘s approach to brexit, he would have the confidence to buy but also said she more time in the wanted to spend house of commons time with itself? you are exactly her family. right, the a hearing on an emergency issueis itself? you are exactly right, the issue is the shortage of time which motion to block the prime minister‘s decision to suspend parliament issue is the shortage of time which is why borisjohnson has is getting underway in the court of session mobilised this extraordinary undemocratic move of trying to prologue parliament. in edinburgh. freddie pring was just 20 the experts meeting on a cross—party when he died injune afterfalling basis will be looking from a balcony at the hotel he was staying in while at all on a work trip to magaluf. opportunities and aspects now his mum heather has travelled back to the island to warn other so this young people about the dangers. will defeat this undemocratic sarah corker manoeuvre. you will see the proposals that will be rolled out in reports. coming days. you his smile could light up any called the room. he broughtjoy to everybody. manoeuvre undemocratic yet the people voted to leave the eu will when he died, part of me be saying that you and others died. heather pring has come like you back to magaluf to see trying to stop brexit and a no—deal where her son freddie died. brexit are doing something which is it was his first night staying at this also undemocratic? beachfront hotel when something nobody voted went tragically wrong.

how could he have fallen for also undemocratic? nobody voted for a no—deal brexit in on his own? that referendum. i cannot comprehend how someone borisjohnson was not so happy and full of life a no—deal brexit in that referendum. boris johnson was not advocating a no—deal brexit in that referendum. borisjohnson was not advocating a no—deal brexit. could just, in seconds, the reef die instantly. campaign was advocating a brexit based upon which balcony was ideal, they have not been able it? he was on the second floor to deliver that. we are saying and it is the third one out. first of you can just see all that parliament the corner. exercised its he fell and caught democratic rights and then from the himself on the way down. labour party, our view is that needs so he had double injuries, severe traumatic brain injury. to go back to the people again that was his and let them have their say. boris cause of death. johnson is trying to block the sea of parliament and block the people his friends were asleep in his room and he was on his own and had gone having their say. out to the balcony, had sat i absolutely clear at a table and chairs and united in parliament that —— and unfortunately either had fallen in labour that what you asleep or tripped and had the fatal accident. want is another referendum? on the basis of a no deal or a bad deal, we had said we wa nt to deal or a bad deal, we had said we want to go back to the people. that has been our policy for some time. this popular party resort attracts hundreds of thousands of young the key issue is to british tourists every year. heather wants to warn holiday—makers try and hold on about the dangers of balconies to parliamentary democracy in this and the number of
