it is not the suez debacle, however, that ended the story. although by january '57 the americans are offering their declaration of independence from british authority and were determined to head out into the world alone. it would be later that year. it would be sputnik. october 1957 nothing had terrified the americans as much as sputnik. not pearl harbor, not sy. the americans believed themselves utterly exposed to soviet thermonuclear destruction. two consequences of that. now it was the u.s. and russian bohemest competing only two could play at that level. and second, there was no time to worry about allied sense activelis. not least the democrats started being drawn to the magnetic appeal of john f. kennedy, the young senator from massachusetts who denounced the eisenhower administration for irsolve for the military weakening of america. for enableling the world to be half slave and half free. and kennedy ran for office on what herald mcmillen, british prime minister called the churchill ticket. kennedy was explicit about the white house b

you described brexit as a "failure of british statecraft on a scale not seen since the suez crisis."ow, you have been intimately connected with the brexit project from the very beginning. do you feel a very deep sense of guilt? i feel we're in an appalling situation right now, and the government is presenting us with a choice which is completely unacceptable. that's what i was referring to. it's the choice which the government is framing between the prime minister's deal on one hand, which will trap us in this client subordinate relationship with the eu for the foreseeable future, then on the other hand, the threat of a chaotic exit, a no—deal exit that is going to be disastrous for our business community and lead to all manner of chaos for residents in my constituency in orpington because we will see traffic backed up from the channel ports at m20 and along the m26. that is a completely false choice for the government to present us with and that is a failure of statecraft. that phrase is such a grandiose phrase that surely we cannot place all of the blame on decisions taken in the l

joe johnson has competed the government's negotiates strategy to suez but i prefer the analogy becausectical defeat after another. every one of which has been followed by retreat and it ends in one big surrender at the end. conservative backbenchers are not going to vote for it. the cabinet i think increasingly understand that and i am open to believe that members of the cabinet when they have to decide whether to approve this deal not well have the moral courage to vote it down. if for any reason they don't then it will be up to conservative backbenchers to do it for them and thatis backbenchers to do it for them and that is what we will do. what evidence is there that mrs may's cabinet are going to turn against her because they signed up to checkers, they have not been any more cabinet resignations so why should one think they will revolt against her? cabinet is quite geeky at the moment and we know from those leaks that a number of cabinet members have had the courage to ask serious questions. it's an open secret that there are five or six cabinet ministers that are very unhappy abo

jo johnson says this brexit deal is a failure of british stagecraft on a scale and seen since the suezs to have a second referendum, and that's clearly has not been help anybody. i think the prime minister needed to be far stronger with the european union and she has been. she seems to have conceded many points, the 39 billion, the transition and in fermentation period, she is now looking at the backstop, that is not what we should be looking at. the chequers deal is not the brexit that the people of the valley voted for nor the united kingdom. the people of the valley voted for northe united kingdom. i the people of the valley voted for nor the united kingdom. i do hope that when we see the final deal, because it will all be in the detail, that brexit means brexit, to quit the prime minister, and she needs to get back to her lancaster house speech, and stop editing away, and giving basically turning the united kingdom into a vassal state. ido united kingdom into a vassal state. i do have fears about that. that at the end of the day she will propose something, as you quite rightly say,

i gave his lawyer the suez 11 months ago. i met with him. i've done everything a reasonable investigator would do. i need the subpoena. what the president did in matt whitaker was, and this is your paper's reporting, two people close to whitaker said he does not plan to take himself off the russia case. he's also deeply skeptical of any effort to force the preside president's subpoena. by putting whitaker there it's my understanding he's not taken the reins of the mueller probe as of yet. the subpoena is off the table. does the white house have that comfort and that confidence? >> i don't think they have the confidence it's completely off the table but they definitely have more confidence than they did a couple of weeks ago. and they feel like in whitaker they have something of a safety blanket or a way to control the process more and to make president trump feel like he's in more control of what's going on. they know the investigation is going to keep going. there's no plan as far as i know for whitaker to stop the investigation. and if it

this is a very serious crisis on a scale with suez, home rule, this goes right to the heart of the legitimacyad brexit, which is jeremy corbyn forming a socialist government. i think a lot of people now are beginning to think very seriously about how to avoid a crisis. you said it is now time for people like yourself to step up, and you believe there is an alternative. what makes you confident that it can pass? the prime minister saying this is the best deal there is, brussels saying this is it, we have no other sugarin saying this is it, we have no other sugar in the coppers to give you to sweeten this deal. what makes you think you can go one and come up with a plan b? don't get me wrong, i don't think it would be easy but i don't think it would be easy but i do think there is a majority in the house of commons for a plan b. if the reason i'm more optimistic, and i'm not talking about fundamental changes to this agreement, i think europe has been clear after 2.5 yea rs europe has been clear after 2.5 years that this is as good as the deal gets. i'm talking about a plan b, for me it would be

choice, he says that presenting that choice is the worst failure of political leadership since the suezd like you say he has become one of a handful of tory mps to back the idea of holding another referendum. video being finalised at the moment in brussels and across whitehall is so radically different to what was proposed in the referendum campaign that i think it is really important that i think it is really important that the public is given a chance to confirm that this is indeed the extraordinary basis on which they wa nt extraordinary basis on which they want to leave the eu. now he is the seventh minister to resign from theresa may's government over wrexham, and really she is starting to face a pincer movement from remain supporters like him on one side and people like his brother boris, brexit backers on the other. that has been exacerbated today by the dup, their leader once again raising concerns about this deal and the big question remains that even if theresa may can reach a deal with the eu, as you get through parliament? and we'll be speaking to jojohnson's dad, stanley, s

if you went back to the suez crisis, the prime minister did it in secret.ld you assess the mood is like at the moment? the mood is extraordinary and comfortable. especially for people who want to leave, people who support brexit. do they now support the cabinet, the deal which mrs may has got, which a number of people are saying is worse than no deal and many are seeing is worse for people who want to leave than staying in the european union. there will be questions that are putting on these people who want to leave. if you imagine if there is a vote on it, when they are queueing up vote on it, when they are queueing up in the division lobbies and they see their friends and allies and they have gone into support the government, they may say, which lobby are you going in? come on. it is not a secret vote when you vote in the votes, there is a list of who voted in what way. they cannot cover up. this is raw politics, isn't it? it is raw politics. it is what a cabinet should be for. tony blair gave us an idea, he would have small groups of ministers deciding t

the suez veterans' association and the aden veterans association. the canadian veterans.. they are wearing... there we are, wearing their bush hats. john hutcheon was talking about the horrendous experience of being left behind alone in the jungle and walking for four days to catch up with the rest of his troop. let's just pause a moment as we see these very moving pictures of the faces of people who fought in the warand faces of people who fought in the war and rejoin faces of people who fought in the warand rejoin dan, who faces of people who fought in the war and rejoin dan, who has some of those with him. dan. i've met some wonderful old gentleman from wars past. i have one of the youngest veterans here. ken, how old were you when you joined the army, when was that? 2004, i was 17 and a half. very recently and you saw a lot of service. three tours, one in iraq in 2005, afghanistan 2007 and 2009, late 2090 early 2010, afghanistan. tell me what happened in 2010 that brought that torture when an. we were on night patrol at a compound and stumbled on an ied, try to deal w

i have seen a lot of people talking about the suez crisis, this being the biggest crisis the countryaced since the postcolonial times. this is certainly something that still divide people. u.k.'sn politics, the relationship with of the continent will no doubt continue to raise the questions about british and english identity in the years ahead. tom: we continue at westminster with anna edwards. we moved to the united states. germany, the home of the european central bank, francine lacqua in conversation with the won are getting it right. look for that soon. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: good morning, everyone. we welcome all of you particularly on the continent of europe. francine lacqua in frankfurt. an important panel of european bankers. this after mr. draghi spoke. francine will join us in a bit. westminster.thaat right now, vasileios. i know you are putting together a year-end note, give us a briefing on the ambiguity of the dollar direction. vasileios: that is actually one of my favorite topics. we are quite bearish on the 2019.thatwe go into is predicated on a number of reasons .

unattractive outcomes, pasalic and chaos, is a failure of british statecraft on eight scale unseen since the suezll read trade —— retain all the controls. is that a fair summary of the prime minister's deal? can i say to the right honourable gentleman, as i've said all along through these negotiations, what we are doing is negotiating a good dealfor the united kingdom. we are negotiating a deal that delivers on the vote of the british people, that takes back control of our money, law and borders and ensures we leave the common fisheries policy, we leave the common agricultural policy, we leave the customs union, but we protect jobs, we protect leave the customs union, but we protectjobs, we protect security and we protect the integrity of the united kingdom. under the prime minister's deal we will spend years with less say over our laws or how our money is spent. and the international trade secretary said last week that the decision to withdraw from any backstop agreement could not be contracted to somebody else. can the prime minister confirm whether under her deal it will be the sovereign right

this is the biggest political crisis since the biggest political crisis since the suez crisis and possibilitieseart of the country. principally, if we were to exercise the freedoms that secures and loosening ties with the uk and northern ireland. efta has the attraction that the dup could support it. it‘s the only way to find parliament to do a way that what the people want us to do and get a deal and get it through. i believe every bid for a second vote we would get no answer or the reverse a nswer we would get no answer or the reverse answer and right back to square reverse answer and right back to square one “— reverse answer and right back to square one —— i believe if we went back for a second vote. definitely the case mps are looking for alternatives but theresa may is determined to sell the deal that she has got. in the referendum two years ago, leeds was split down the middle. it voted to remain, but by one of the closest margins in the country. so what do people there make of theresa may‘s deal? 0ur correspondent, fiona trott, has been finding out. a chilly morning at kirk state market

there are geographic choke points to remove the suez, bosphorus and so forth, and then there is the tyranny of geography. the oil is one place and it's needed somewhere else and then there is the tyranny of nature and politics and then there is the tyranny of too few facilities. this is an interesting one. too few facilities in small looks. if anyone wants to have a building of high blood pressure take a boat to around houston ship channel, that's where 26% of our gaes lean and diesel is made and 60% of the jet fuel in our tiny location and this is rastanura in saudi arabia, in qatar or the port of tock why. and everything is in a small place and the tyranny of smaug geography and even that ter me exists and also the tyranny of open information when that natural gas facility was attacked in algeria i put up google earth on the screen in my classroom, and i focused in on that natural gas facility and i showed my students an open gate. if i can do that, anyone can do that. and the military people in this rm know full well that this is exactly what the bad guys are doing. i can go and see a nu
