to prevent a no—deal brexit. as protesters celebrated, borisjohnson indicated the result makes an october general election more likely. let's go straight back to westminster now. let's have a look at the papers. welcome back to a really soggy westminster. it is still dark as you can see. but the papers all leading with one story. the events of last night here in westminster. first up, the times who call prime minister boris johnson's defeat in the house of commons "historic" after tory rebels and opposition mps blocked the government in the first stage of their attempt to pass a law designed to prevent a no—deal brexit. meanwhile, the daily mirror's front page says the prime minister has lost control, and now will be forced to call an election, which opposition party labour say they will only back if a no—deal brexit is ruled out. the daily express accuses the uk parliament of surrendering
5:48 am
to the european union, calling it "another shameful day in our so—called democracy." the financial times says mrjohnson‘s brexit strategy is now in ruins, leaving britain on the brink of a general election and his party in a state of disintegration. and, finally, the daily mail says it's time for britain to decide and suggests the scale of the rebellion lays the ground for a historic split in the conservative party. i have the managing director jonathan charles. welcome back. the times, pm loses historic vote. jeremy corbyn won't back an election, though, until no deal is oui’ election, though, until no deal is our floor. what does this mean for borisjohnson? our floor. what does this mean for boris johnson? this is an absolute gift for the newspapers and they are speculating as to what he will do. the times has a great editorial in which there is a lot of discussion that maybe this is part of boris johnson's plan, to force the country into a general election. the times
5:49 am
says," mike tyson the boxer, he says eve ryo ne says," mike tyson the boxer, he says everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth. what they are saying is they may have had a plan but it didn't survive contact with the enemy. i think we saw that yesterday, of the papers go through the events of yesterday. as that when borisjohnson called in the rebels in the morning in an attempt to persuade them. it may well have been a plan to have this on to lose this, to have an election, but i don't think they expected to lose by 27 votes. that is a big attack on them, they understand that, and of course it means as well that he has a —43 majority now. that is quite something. all the papers reflecting for borisjohnson something. all the papers reflecting for boris johnson on something. all the papers reflecting for borisjohnson on where he goes next. that is no simple because he does mean that two—thirds majority of mps in that building behind us and he may well not get that because we are seeing in all the papers, including the times today, the suggestion that labour will hold off
5:50 am
until they are sure there is a no deal brexit legislation. that may be some days away before they agree to any general election. daily mirror frontpage, brexit bombshell. 21 tory mps have lost the whip. all they really need is a if they have been threatened? it is staggering again, if you stop to think of the momentous moment that we are in, one of them, ken clarke, the father of the house, the longest serving member of the health of commons, a conservative mp since 1970, injohn major's administration, someone with a huge amount of heft, he served under david cameron as well, quite a striking figure for the winston churchill's grandson, these are majorfigures in the party. again, what we are seeing in many of the papers, the daily mirror as well, quotes from people like justin,
5:51 am
papers, the daily mirror as well, quotes from people likejustin, the former cabinet minister who said she is not standing again, saying i haven't left the party, the party has left me. ken clarke quoted in a lot of the newspapers as well, pointing at this in his words is the most right—wing government we have seen. most right—wing government we have seen. saying that also using words along the lines of this is not a conservative party i recognise. very, very serious for the party. daily express front page, parliament surrenders to the eu. this is how borisjohnson surrenders to the eu. this is how boris johnson sees surrenders to the eu. this is how borisjohnson sees it and how many people in the country will see it given a majority of people voted to leave. i think this is always the issue. this is where the popular will as reflected in the 52—48 outcome of the brexit referendum comes up outcome of the brexit referendum comes up hard against representative democracy and representative democracy and representative democracy is the principal form democracy and representative democracy is the principalform of democracy is the principalform of democracy in the united kingdom where politicians are not there to blindly follow the will of the people, they are there to make their ownjudgements and people, they are there to make their own judgements and this was always going to be a clash, and what the daily express are pointing out here are these words from borisjohnson
5:52 am
where he accused jeremy corbyn of surrendering to brussels, and jeremy corbyn picked him up on that and said this is not a war, this is not about surrender. we have to see it from russell's point of view as well, some has been five years covering brussels for the bbc as the bbc‘s europe correspondence, i can understand where they are going from. they say we cannot give the united kingdom a better deal than the deal we give to our members. you wa nt the deal we give to our members. you want all the benefits of market access without any of the obligations. that won't change. i think ina obligations. that won't change. i think in a way what is decided over there will not change the negotiating position of the european union because there are certain principles about protecting the single market, this market of 500 million people, that they are not willing to surrender. they have things, they are prepared to spend as well. the financial times, johnson's brexit strategy rules as anti—no deal mps inflict defeat. it says here that poison is now
5:53 am
coursing through the party, the conservative party. in the a fair assessment? i thought a realignment in the conservative party would come sooner in the conservative party would come sooner because it is very clear there has been this rages —— major strain between those who want a hard brexit and those who want a softer brexit and those who want a softer brexit or no brexit. that is very difficult to coexist in the party. clearly, we have now come to the explosion point and the question is, is this a conservative party that is in effect going to be a shadow of the brexit party? can it remain a broad church? there must be real questions now in this poisonous at br as to whether it can be a broad judge because we are seeing many of the people who will keep it broad leaving and saying, we are not standing again, or even saying we are even no longer conservatives. the decision that boris doesn't hesitate, the logic of his position as he is taking the party to the
5:54 am
right to become something that can really ta ke right to become something that can really take on the brexit party on that part of the argument. but that isa that part of the argument. but that is a tough decision. when you are sitting alone in downing street around the corner in the dead of night, you have to decide can the party do that? the traditional history of the conservative party, it has never won an election coming from the extremes, it has always won an election from the middle ground. even margaret thatcher realised she needed to bring in the middle ground voters to win the election. daily mail talking about just that. voters to win the election. daily mail talking aboutjust that. you decide, britain. imagine what the prime minister is thinking. i can't imagine he has had much sleep around the corner from here. imagine he has had much sleep around the cornerfrom here. where is the brexit party in all of this? they will see where the conservative party ends up. there is room for them to do a deal. it borrows on decides he's going to run an election saying i want a deal but i am prepared to have no deal, probably the brexit party will say thatis probably the brexit party will say that is no good for us, we are still in no deal party. if you want no deal, you should vote for us. wait to see you. thank you for your

analysis. plenty more analysis lie from a very soggy westminster still to come. hello there. this week's weather is looking fairly benign. that's because we've got atlantic influence, so a mixture of conditions — a bit of sunshine, some cloud, generally temperatures around the seasonal average or a little bit below. and, in fact, wednesday looks like one of those days where the temperatures will be below average, and it'll be windy, as well, so that'll make it feel even cooler. and the reason is because we've got this area of low pressure moving down from the north—west, around our area of high pressure. two weather fronts on it, one bringing rain in the south—east, this next one bringing plenty of showers to scotland and northern ireland through the day. but that rain should clear away from the south—east through the morning. skies will brighten up, but the winds will pick up from a north—westerly, bringing plenty of showers. in the northern half of the country, some of these could be quite heavy, and those wind gusts, 30, 40, maybe 50mph, could even be stronger in exposure. so it'll feel cooler — 10—13 degrees in the north, 17—19 across the south—east. as we head through wednesday night, it stays blustery. looks like those showers continue on for awhile, and then most of them clear away. but more return to the north and the west of the country,
5:56 am
and it's going to be another cool night. in fact, temperatures in single digits even in towns and cities across northern areas, just about making double figures in the south. so we've still got a similar pressure pattern with high pressure in across the south—west. this area of low pressure will bring some wetter weather and also some cooler weather as we reach friday. but for thursday, we're in between the systems. we'll see a few showers across northern and western areas, and actually, slightly milder air moving in behind this line of showers, so we could see 15—16 degrees in the north. further south, variable cloud, some sunny spells, just one or two showers, again the mid—to—high teens celsius. that area of low pressure i showed you moves in for friday, brings quite a bit of cloud, outbreaks of rain. this is a cold front moving southwards, and that again will introduce cooler north—westerlies, so the temperatures will be down again on friday. 13 to around 15 or 16 in the north, 17 or 18 across the south—east. that front clears through. high pressure
5:57 am
wants to build back in as we head into the start of the weekend. that'll introduce something a little bit milder once again, and the winds should be a bit lighter. so, fairly breezy across the east coast for a while, but that high pressure will bring lighter winds, increasing chance of sunshine around. so that'll feel a little bit warmer, i think, for the start of the weekend, with the mid—teens in the north. 19, maybe 20 degrees across the south—east. and we hold onto this fairly benign pattern through the weekend and into next week, with atlantic air moving in on a westerly.
6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin — live from westminster. 0ur headlines today: the ayes have it, the ayes have it, unlock! a dramatic late night defeat for the prime minister — as mps try to block a no—deal brexit. in just a few hours, borisjohnson lost his working majority, his first commons vote, and control of parliament. he reacted angrily and said he'll push for a general election as early as today. i believe i will get a
