if you could do to. get my. family from somalia live around the world. needed urgent assistance. starts october on d w. you like it that way the country dubai from an ancient no thanks to no other top all a ship of the european is change its reason may have a deal wasn't perfect but it would have delivered perhaps what will the sex tension a change what is another 3 months going to achieve here in london it's still all about. boris johnson who has shut down a fractious and angry parliament but not before m.p.'s manage to do him serious damage denying him a date for the next general election and forcing him by law to seek another extension from the e.u. if you can't get a deal over the 19 my guest to this week is andrew bridge and conservative m.p.
2:31 pm
and leading brecht's it supporter will boris johnson now upgrade the law the parliament has put in front of him. and to britain welcomes conflicts of. one of the biggest obstacles preventing a deal between britain and the e.u. is the irish backstop the so-called insurance policy to keep open border between northern ireland and the irish republic the government has promised new proposals were there well i think they're already out there also to arrangements have been discussed for over 12 months a trust a trade a scheme for regular trade it's a relatively small amount of pride that goes across the board about turn off 1000000000 pounds a year exemption. sions for small traders. and checks away from the border but
2:32 pm
august 21st the prime minister said in berlin standing beside angela merkel you rightly say the onus is on us to produce those solutions he hasn't produced any since then why not well i think to an extent the irish border issue is a is a conflated issue in my view before the irish border became a stick with which to beat the the u.k. government during these negotiations or to go there was a reason i just when i was where the proposals are all the proposals are and we're out of those sorts of proposals are all proposals they were out there a few months after the referendum was a joint statement by the head of h.r. see normal and and customs actually south of the border which had the current infrastructure on the border was quite sufficient to deal with any outcome said it isn't look if the the minister is playing politics with this issue isn't it he calls the backstop 20 democratic let's not forget that he actually voted for that
2:33 pm
backstop in the withdrawal agreement in may just 4 months ago the 3rd target that was put out to vote why did god i didn't so dominate rob so the the leader of the house jacob reese more be leading light of your european research group who said if we take this deal we are legally out of the e.u. it restores independence that's what you want it for heaven's sake restoring the independence for backstop wasn't so terrible 4 months ago why is it terrible now i think they were looking at the lesser of evils i think they could see that perhaps it was slipping away potentially and it was to resume a deal or no bracks said i didn't hold to that opinion the fact was that treason may put a job on the line and said if you if you back my withdrawal room and get it through i will stand down and let someone else take over the negotiation about the future relationship i think it's you that was a flawed argument michael and your people have pretty elastic principles one moment is ok then the next moment is not i think i'm going to. in politics with it it's
2:34 pm
not a matter of well let's suppose it it is for a large number of us i think that probably boris johnson and jacob. obviously with hindsight they would have regretted voting for the withdrawal agreement to end the 3 at the end of the day that was never a deal that was ever and never got more than 15 percent support by the public and maybe that is no but what about elin any price to you i want i do want to read the minister who just resigned asked for reassurances that the government was working on the deal she didn't get them she directly contradicted the prime minister's promise that he was 100 percent focused on getting a deal absolutely but when only contradicted the updates i've been grateful to see you have not provided me with the assurances i so i think campbell rhodes position on e.u. membership and the withdrawal agreement and the negotiations are well known and she doesn't mean she's telling the law does it but she's telling it from her perspective he's seen the papers well she's seen the cabinet she knows it's not
2:35 pm
likely but surely anyone who's ever negotiated anything to him knows that with a walk away position the more you prepare for no deal and i said this consistently over the last 3 and a half years the more the government prepared for no deal and publicly let that be known the less likely we're ever going to need it it is unfortunate that so much time was wasted going down the blind alley of the withdrawal agreement. with all of the use of money would come under the earth in the movement with boris johnson trust isn't it and those either doesn't score early on and see what this is the man who announced in july that the e.u. was stopping britain from having free ports we could do free ports he said it would be a massive boost to this court to me we don't because of our membership of the e.u. utter nonsense as well if we actually saw on the withdrawal that we were she would be giving away the powers over state aid and those sort of tax discounts we're giving a veto to the european union so by potentially talk about free ports they when that simply. not true well if we'd signed the withdrawal we would have been under
2:36 pm
a veto on our stated rules mr president but we would have no we would have 3 ports across the e.u. most of them in new member countries what mr johnson also didn't seem to know was that until 2012 when the legislation that established reports expired here in britain there were freeport areas in liverpool southampton sure less impressed with their book but he didn't know any of that so this is the kind of nonsense that comes from the government is visited on the monitors that there's a different there's a distance aisle i think there's a difference between the e.u. allowing us to have a free port when we are a fully functioning member of the european union and once we were in the withdrawal agreement if we asked for a free portal they had a veto it was not necessarily in the e.u. interest to allow us to have that advantage called into the house of commons library of the treasury wants to designate free ports you can do it by statutory instrument there's no need for a vote it can do it just like that in 5 minutes so it's nothing to do with the as i'll come back to the point if we sign the withdrawal agreement we've given the
2:37 pm
e.u. a veto on all of our stated rules including the provision of freeport and our relationship with the european union changes not the same as it was 5 years before the referendum it'll never be the same again whatever the outcome of the brics in negotiations is what you will be different it will be different yes that's what we promised the people that lie would leave like boris johnson you too in the past it seems strangely baffled by the rules haven't you you told the irish radio station last year that was possible under the common area arrangements between britain and ireland for britons to get passports in ireland and the irish to come over here and get passed but they can't i mean know that was simply wrong you want it was it was a it why do you put out the stuff well it was an unfortunate situation i should have done the into the into it was after midnight and it was 2 or 3 days after my wife had just given birth to us i was a little sleep deprived and a little dream of happy at that stage i should have given the interview i mistook that for. situation regarding to people in northern ireland who have the choice of
2:38 pm
taking either british or irish passport. and i have apologized for that mistake your suggestions that under an obscure world trade organizations that you article $24.00 britain can somehow avoid tariffs on its exports in the event of a no deal you seem to be somewhat behind government thinking on this because just 6 days ago michael gove the minister in charge of bracks at preparations said high e.u. tariffs on british exports remain the biggest challenge in the no deal indeed a sobering but that gets 24 article 24 is basically a 2 page agreement between the e.u. and the u.k. we see you have got to agree to what if they've got to agree to it by themselves or agree to it later on they haven't got to agree to it but it to make it work they've got to agree that we can have but you haven't got that agreement you say it's a 2 peter we haven't you haven't got it we haven't but this is pioneers we're going not going to we're not going to get that agreement while the e.u. think they're either going to get us to coerce us through to stay in the european
2:39 pm
union and not actually leave or to ask for an extension or that we would find the withdrawal agreement which is better for me not going to face the consequences of no deal until. we sorted out our parliament if i were the they're going to charge tyrants they treat you as a 3rd country and the rules and terrorists apply at the absolute leaders and that and i'm the day i'm going we'll and if that's the way the e.u. want to play it that's fine it's unfortunate it will be their rules in that case and will pocket we can refund all the tariffs to our exporters and pocket 12000000000 pounds a year from the european union in excess tariffs that's fine if that's what the you want to do that's not what i'd like to do i would like to sign get 24 if we don't get to get a deal which i don't think we're going to do that will give us the 10 years up to 10 years of tariff and quota free trade as we are now where we thrash out that detailed comprehensive free trade deal along the lines of of the deal that the e.u. did with canada and with far more important encounter will be 70
2:40 pm
a market for 70 percent of all the us will do you will be far more complicated and difficult to get let's talk a bit about the situation of the prime minister in the because these are well over 20 seats short of a working majority no power no authority and i was 26 double up so it's 40 votes no power no or authority largest number of defeats in parliament for a new prime minister these parliaments puppet who is only i don't call an election can't run down the top among. my analysis of the situation is that i've always maintained that we are we have got to remain dominated parliament it's always been that in that situation what actually is happening now is that with the election of boris johnson by the conservative party as the new prime minister. someone who is committed to get us out of the european union by the 31st of october we flushed out the remain as who are in all parties and i think i don't think it's any any secret we've now in the position where last when you've lost major talent moderate tell
2:41 pm
people the father of the house can clarke you've lost him you lost a number of people who are locked deeply respected and have a lot of knowledge you have a lot of experience opposing and you see. threw them out which is hypocritical in itself isn't it well because because look at all the times that the current front bench i think that's interesting about it against ansermet i voted she was probably i voted against the government on many occasions from the backbench and you weren't thrown ball out but i voted against issues and policies i voted for the referendum i was one of the rebels of i voted against intervention led the rebellion against intervention in syria some years ago i voted against the h s 2 project every time it's come to the house speed rail yet when i voted against the withdrawal agreement all 3 occasions that i voted against specific policies what the rebels last week did was they voted to take away the government's ability to legislate and hand it
2:42 pm
to the opposition and they were warned prior to that vote that if they did so they would lose their political let's just look at that legislation for the moment that . the lord now says that if boris johnson doesn't get a deal by october the 19th to ask the e.u. for the e.u. summit e.u. for an extension. and this is what you want to the british parliament passing british laws with no interference from the says actually what you want to parse out what is exerting its sovereign orthorexic mustn't it i wished i wish that you are happy well i'm not happy when philip hammond one of the leading rebels on this former chancellor of the exchequer exchequer only a few weeks ago he admitted in conversation at number 10 with the prime minister boris johnson that the e.u. zone lawyers help to draft that legislation on the and the sting in the tail doesn't matter who helped draft 1st what i think is i think it says a lot whose interests some of our members are working and the sting of the tail of the legislation is still legislation and apparently some people in your blood don't
2:43 pm
tell you i don't believe he's bound by law i'm going to fuse parliaments instructor i think i think it's against the constitution of our country we have a system where lawrence received was sent it is but the way it with. is the way it was delivered was not a photo didn't slow it received a send wheat on the statue we have a special that i think it should be tested in court where we have a system where whereby the the government of the day brings forward legislation. which the house either approves or votes down it may be amend it and then it goes on the statute book and at the next interaction the government will be held responsible for the legislation it has passed we're now in the perverse situation with the connivance of john bercow the speaker. we're in a situation where government legislation is being passed on to the statute book which the government neither proposed indeed opposes doesn't mean that the romans were a lot of laws on the statute book that the governor hasn't proposed many months many of them wouldn't of course or the standards of laws i mean what are you suggesting
2:44 pm
that he breaks the law. i'm not suggesting that he breaks that the law because that would be what i would say would only what i would you know it would set a very dangerous precedent but i mean the the appetite for democracy is appetite for martyrs it is it is insatiable and your link your great city is appetite for monsters is what we had in duncan smith former tory leader saying the prime minister should be willing to be and would be seen as a brick sit mater so it's not something glorious to break the law and you know the thing that would do to britain's international reputation if the prime minister started trashing laws and trashing the rule of law i think you know i think would be a retrograde step i'd rather take a legal challenge to the law and i think if we go raise this is really in court after that and the talent to be the lot well the silly shit then if the supreme court says he should then he should but there are other ways around it and they've
2:45 pm
been well publicized he may be right of the letters. he may send a letter saying he wants or he's been told to ask for an extension to article 50 and he may want others i like that would look really good he sends one letters. you can't do i can't do this no you would say he would station extension and the other one saying i don't hear what makes a nonsense he will never cross i promise you one thing to him he'll never say i want an extension he may say i have been commanded by parliament to ask for an extension however i think there's no doubt he doesn't want an extension and what will this extension achieve what is another 3 months going to achieve and the sting in the tail of that legislation that was passed helped to be drafted by the european union's loyalty is it avoids no deal bricks not of people in this country don't want he who fights and runs away only lives to run away another day was going to happen on 31st december and the real stinker in the tail of that legislation is in the final paragraph it is says that the prime minister is ordered to ask for an
2:46 pm
extension to the 31st of january 3 month extension however if the european union will not accept the 31st of january and offer an alternative date for extension the prime minister only has 2048 hours to accept that date what it really wanted to you was of course he's a quick thing what is your most what if the european union come back and say what we've had enough of this we've had extension after extension the short extensions the u.k. can't get its act together for 5 years then we'd be in a situation where probably nearly knowing his after the referendum we haven't implemented the will of the people express that referendum so damaging there are others talk about the use of the russians because you launch you're a lame the remain m.p.'s in parliament for the most britons in you said last week democracy only works when the losers accept the result and they've gone against the will of the british people i know it's always useful to blame somebody else when things go wrong but the fact is if it hadn't been for the unbridgeable divisions
2:47 pm
inside your party then the 3 years that your party has wasted bickering and fighting with itself the will of the people would have been delivered by now to reason may have to deal wasn't perfect but it would have delivered bracks it. in name only not according to jacob riis mark would have given you your independence other thing i think you are going the poll of this time show people wanted it monday 20 ninth's you gov poll leave voters wanted to see that deal passed by 49 percent to 30 percent conservative voters wanted it by an even higher margin by 57 percent to 24 percent but you knew better than your own interest brutalize would i say have 3 more i was surprised i would suggest that the overwhelming majority of those people never actually read the withdrawal agreement for never even read the the legal briefings on the withdrawal agreement and they were damning treason i was tasked to go and they wanted a deal it doesn't matter with them and they would have and they were going to and
2:48 pm
when when they saw the deal they got it wouldn't have taken very long at all were for a huge amount of dissatisfaction not then with the european union who forced the deal on treason a but on us for voting for it and i promise you to whatever happens i am not signing that withdrawal agreement i will not betray my country or my electorate because they haven't followed the rules and i will not sign it if your party missed out in my name if your party had really been interested in delivering the results of the referendum to resume a would have recognized the differences amongst m.p.'s in parliament and sort straight away to work out a deal that could pass through parliament she had a majority she briefly had some more authority she could have started cross party talks immediately but she waited 2 and a half years before doing that it's your failure you blame the main m.p. it's the failure of your i.r.t. and your conservative government are i think tories of maine and forcing will carry a lot of the blame for this i never voted for her as leader and i was actually the
2:49 pm
1st m.p. to say that she should go which was on the saturday after she launched the checkers proposals when it was clear that that was not delivering on our manifesto that we were single market a customs union jurisdiction ripping quarters take back control of our money our. orders of our laws and i'm disappointed that we have an opportunity in december of last year the vote of confidence where 200 of my colleagues did have confidence in her so she stayed on i don't know what they thought were things going to get better with the clock has been run down has been run down and left boris johnson with very very few options the clock has run the city of ministers who in positions of war started david davis liam fox michael gove boris johnson bracks it supporting ministers in key jobs and they failed to get it done many of the people who are now sitting on you what they felt was david davis did fail to do was realize that the reason why i was running parallel negotiations through his own office using his own civil servants and then presented him 2 days before checkers
2:50 pm
with a fait accompli that you're working on a super can of the oh but this is what we're going to do with davis didn't have the 1st thing about the european union this is what he said within minutes of a vote for bret's that the c.e.o.'s of mercedes b.m.w. v.w. an audi would be knocking on merkel's door demanding there be no barriers to the fish market didn't happen i think they said it was going to be the easiest deal in history didn't have what it should all the cards were going to be in britain's hands didn't happen that this was nonsense was that project fantasy what we've what we've got is we do still have some semblance of democracy in this country whereby people are dissatisfied what the government's doing kumon lobby me our lobby the prime minister they lobby the prime minister directly due to the democratic deficit in the european union we're trading with germany france and all the other e.u. countries but they've given the powers of these negotiations to an another body called the european union and and it's. what it wants to get out of these
2:51 pm
negotiations is going to be different to what our customers in those countries want to get on there is a huge democratic deficit with the people making the big decisions in the european union and not elected or not not politically account a lot of them are elected we just had the largest the largest democratic vote is for the european parliament yes the last 400000000 people a lot of the largest party elected that parliament is the brics it party. you're unhappy with the democracy for that democracy is democracy but i was i was very i was i would have been very unhappy had we pulled the prime minister then treason by paul the european elections because we weren't going to do very well in them that would have been wrong and i made that very clear mr pidgen when you look around this country you can't fail to see people getting angrier more divided more bitter demonstrations are getting angry you know like it that way the country divided from of noveck to no not at all and that's what you have now just students to
2:52 pm
a deal has produced isn't know it's the resistance to leaving as i said the democracy only works you had a deal you could have left you would have been out by it was a very very bad deal and it would have it was a deal i don't think we ever would have got out of the backstop i think that was the end state for the got in mind for our country and they would have had a fatalist in the article 50 process we can actually leave or we're in a time of along we extend it and however unpopular it is with our electorate once which sign that we draw agreement the e.u. would have a veto when we could actually get out of that treaty. and i do think the country can come back together but one thing for sure how is it going to come back to get when we lose so deep when we actually divide it when we actually leave you have a situation where anyone who contradicts the government line is belittled and insulted you take the dr david nicol who contributed to the government's contingency plan for no deal actually he dared to share his concerns about the
2:53 pm
government's inability to stop our medicines and he was told to be ashamed of himself and he was fear mongering he was obviously good enough to contribute to the government and work your money this what a wonderful precedent for a free society isn't it that he didn't tell you what you wanted to hear so he was fear mongering well i'll tell you what is going on the liberal elite in this country have never lost a serious political battle. in history he was they like royal a lot save lost this one and they'll use every means at their disposal to achieve their own theories not leave your people talking about people who might actually lose their life because they haven't got the men since they need are you prepared to risk lives in this grand project of yours. that is pure project fear that continues to project for you what these are these are experts who are pointing out that there is a huge risk here my question to tell you x. is a has been and among the largely upon the prime my question to you is are you prepared
2:54 pm
to risk lives in this project are you there is there is always a simple question yes or no well. are the european union willing to risk loans can you the question we were to put that question to the you i'm asking you or the fact i do 5 packs fish to risk lives well give me a not swear that we are the 2nd biggest pharmaceutical. industry in our country in the world only only bigger by america and you get 36000000 packs or medicine from the us every one about so so if it's a social big deal most people we shall not see the questions we sell these answer the question we are you prepared to respond if not this program i will do nothing i will do nothing that risk lives we will not interfere with the massive amount of drugs that manufacture in this country that are used by people on the continent we're not threatening their lives it would appear that the e.u. are threatening the lives of people in my country and i think the you have misjudged the british car is there and that's all they're talking about why not on frictionless trade as
2:55 pm
