market. dealest way to avoid no would be to vote for a deal. these proposals amount to a a gd basis for a deal. if he wants to remove me from office, the best thing he can do work on the right andrable gentlemen opposite persuade him to call a general election and try his luck that way. us want to deliver voted for. i welcome the latest proposals. can the prime minister assured me the customs p proposals for e irish border do not involve the
5:32 am
construction of any new physical infrastructure whether at the border or anywhere else? to my friend,ul who has taken an interest in these matters and who has helped to bring many members together. absolutely not. the proposals we arare putting forward do not involve orrastructure at the border at any other place. if the prime minister had bothered to go to the northern ireland border, he would know the genuine fear people there feel about his proposals, which they see will result in physical infrastructure for the border,
5:33 am
whether that is on the border or at some other point in the supply chain. his plans have been denounced as the worst of both worlds. will the prime minister now go to the northern ireland border and listen to the people and communities or does he not care? of course i understand the concerns of the people on both sides of the border. are determined not to have any kind of infrastructure checks at the border or near the border. they are not necessary. her to also support these proposals. perhaps she could ask her colleagues to retract their letter to jean-claude juncker

urging him not to agree to a new deal with the british government. >> may i commend the prime minister's emphasis on a future free trade arrangement, which is what many of us have wanted. earlier in the year, when the house voted on the indicative votes, a number of different , all of those were for one.except the one option that has ever passed this house, other than the withdrawal agreement, was the so-called brady amendment, the essence of which was to expunge the backstop in favor of alternative arrangementnt, which passed the house of commons on
5:35 am
january 29, by 16 votes. does that give him hope this could get through? >> it does. his point.friend for he is right. ambition for what we can, it does liberate us to do free trade deals around the world and to take back control of our customs. knowledgefied by the that this has been going on for 3.5 years and it does represent a good basis for a deal and i hope colleagues will support it. >> for the last three years, it has been government policy that border arrangements would not include checks and controls.
5:36 am
now, the prime minister has announced there will be customs andks in northern ireland -- those are the words he used -- he has entertained the possibility northern ireland will never enter the zone he executivesuse if ththe don't agree to do so, it will not happen. he has abandoned that commitment and ririsks the return to a hard border. how is that consistent with the joint declaration of 2017, the good friday agreement, and the peace and stability in northern ireland. right to lay the emphasis he does on the good friday agreement and the peace
5:37 am
process. need toriven by the protect and fortify that agreement and process. the deal we set out gives us the opportunity. it gives communities in northern .reland to build on that he is mistaken if he believes our proposals will necessitate any kind of checks at the border. that is untrue. or, indeed, any kind of hard order. that is untrue. > given the proposal meets the terms, can the prime minister go to his colleagues to
5:38 am
tell them there is every likelihood this proposition will take us forward and break the deadlock that has been blocking us for so long. it was his amendment that went to the heart of what the house saw as the fundamental problem with the previous withdrawal agreement. these proposals address those concerns. i hope members will get behind them. haveam sure you will observed the prime minister's predecessor got things in the right order. she got an agreement with the european union that commanded support in northern ireland. thinks heminister sought the support of
5:39 am
parliament, but he has no support from the european union. i congratulate him on getting a .eal with the dup they do not represent the people of northern ireland. can he confirm that not one or anypolitical party other organization in northern ireland supports his so-called deal. >> i am not sure i was expectitg support.
5:40 am
it offers security and stability and above all, it protects the good friday process and a frictionless border. i hope it will have her support. a ask the prime minister whether or not what he has proposed is a final offer to the european union? policy of the
5:41 am
government to leave the european union without a deal. >> you are absolutely right. they seem to be in captured. will be leaving october 31, deal or no deal. >> the prime minister's proposal proves he does not understand northern ireland. dance to the tune of his friends in the dup. he forgets or chooses to ignore the facts. it is a fact the dup p does not represent the majority of ireland. .hey campaign for leave
5:42 am
the majority of people in northern ireland voted remain. be concernedwill by the proposals he has tabled. borders.uces two ministerind the p prime we do not want the u.k. to leave without a deal. what people want is to continue to enjoy the peace and stability delivered by the good friday agreement. i want the prime minister to pinpoint to the house and people the aspects of his proposal which guarantee peace and stability in northern ireland. >> i am grateful. i should say the most important
5:43 am
theg is we will abide by principle of the good friday agreement. there will be no hard border. i am more than happy to meet with the lady y to discuss whati mean if that would be useful to her. i do excxcept these proposals deserve wider circulation. i would be more than happy to meet with the lady to go through them. i commend the tone the prime minister has taken today and the way in which he has answered questions, he fulfills end, which was to
5:44 am
encourage the government to pursue a deal as the best option going forward in the future. is unlikely every part of his proposal but will be accepted. letter says -- it is a reasonable compromise, the broad landing zone in which a deal can take shape. does the tone and style suggests the compromise h he has beenen e to put forward has not yet finished and the is there a a nd toto handle thee difficult issus that need to be raised. a deal would seem to be achievable if that tone is continued. hisy friend is right in intentions.
5:45 am
what the u.k. has done is considerable. we have moved in some way. i hope our friends do understand and i hope that my friend understands that as well. we have gone the extra mile. what we are doing is a considerable move towards compromise. can the prime minister confirm he is proposing to remove the provisions in article four, in particular the commitment not to reduce fundamental rights at work, occupational health and safety working conditions and ememoyment standards.. confifirm he is proposising
5:46 am
to reduce the protection for workers rights and is making it easier for conservative governments to do what they have always done. she is in error if she thinks that is our intention. we are going to ensure this country has the highest standards, workers rights and environmental. >> can i comment on the effort? it stands in stark contrast to the tone adopted.
5:47 am
>> i agree with my friend. >> we are listening to boris johnson speaking. presenting it to the mps in london. listening in n to it. tryingris johnson has been toto present his plan as a fair and reasonable compromise, one ,e believes representnts progres which includes a backstop he and his hard-line brerexiteers. they see this as a scam, a plan
5:48 am
could, concocted by a cabinet of the right cabinet. in fact, it is, you heard the leader of the scottish national party, known for grilling prime unacceptable plan. he accused boris johnson, saying he knows he cannot get this plan approved. he doesn't care. this goes to the heart of a , that boris johnson, saying t the first priority is o get a deal.
5:49 am
is beingf that, it seen as very cynical. this is where the so-called blame game gets in. they will try to arrive at some beid consistence, rather to able to apportion blame, to blame a failure to deliver a deal. hiser on a failure of opponent and those in europe.
5:50 am
ofis a shifting responsibility. asked,stion he was jeremy corbyn asked whether or come october 31 or the near deadline, he has been unable to get his deal through, will he abide by the law passed by parliament that would obligate boris johnson to go to europe, brbrussels, and ask forn extension to brexit. that was the law. the question was, will you obey the will of parliament or will you snub the will of parliament. boris johnson did not say he would disobey the laws, but he said if i do not get this deal,
5:51 am
we will be leaving on october 31. you can fill in the blanks. it implies he will be defying parliament's will and laws. connect this, but there is an echo from donald trump yesterday, when he was saying the entire impeachment inquiry against him is a hoax and turning the tables on his interrogators and saying he wants to file a lawsuit against congress. we are seeing similar strategies, similar messages. we did not get more details today on how this will avoid reestablishing restoring a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. he said the issues could be resolved with some checks, but
5:52 am
they would be done somewhere in the supply chains or electronically. they don't see how this will be a guarantee against the prospect of further friction and eight conflict. on the business news. lots of reaction to the move by the u.s. >> their g goods could b be facg tariffs. the french g government is echog the e position tha therere w was ilill time to o negotiatate, but that the eu woululd retaliate.
