a little earlier, the cabinet office minister david lidington told mps that legally binding changes thated. he said the documents provide confirmation that the eu cannot trap the uk in the backstop indefinitely, and he confirmed that the house will vote on what he described as an improved deal. talks could break down if the eu thinks the uk is deliberately prevaricating in order to get a better deal. all of this is happening in the detail of these documents. david lidington said the documents. david lidington said the documents provide confirmation they cannot trap the uk in the backstop indefinitely. the prime minister and my right honourable friend the secretary of state for exiting the air you have secured legally binding changes that strengthen and improve the withdrawal agreement and political declaration. the house spoke clearly on 29 january when it voted in favour of honouring the decision of the british people and leaving the european union with a deal that works for the uk, and the primary issue of concern, then, was the northern ireland backstop. this house said it needed lega

could i press him on the status of the joint instrument, because last night the minister for the cabinet officestrument had equal status in law to the withdrawal agreement and that they both have the status of treaties under international law, and yet legal advice i have seen say that the joint instrument is not incorporated into the withdrawal agreement, not a protocol to the agreement, not a protocol to the agreement, and it is not a treaty in its own right, so can he clarify whether the minister for the cabinet office inadvertently misled the house last night? i would need to say, if i may come up what the honourable lady's quotation is in detail, but the position is that if you agree and put your name to a joint instrument of this kind, you are bound by it. you are bound by it as to its interpretation, and if it ex presses as to its interpretation, and if it expresses agreement to specific operational commitments, as this one does, you are bound by it because it is an agreement that you will then carry out those specific commitments. it is an agreement, so we shouldn't get hung up on labels

navy once again sit except her and one of two of the closest friends and acolytes inside the cabinet office full of corporate display small no. people that are very many people are so process works you want to steal because this deal is all in favor of brussels and does nothing for the united kingdom and what about e.u. leaders where do you see this had to move already had from president mccrum who's hinted that he wouldn't be party to an extension unless there was m.p.'s backing for to the other all making some of the noises like that around at the moment a more point you think that patients will snap will have before march the twenty ninth when the to say by then. i think you all happiness unison know the result of the parliamentary vote if she fails then the really isn't any point in giving a short deal because the purpose of the short deal is to implement the agreement if it's passed that it's not passed there's no point in that. idea of a long extension would do to either over to a new deal or a new election or a new a second referendum and she's not in favor of any of these things and

so, can the secretary of state succeed where the minister for the cabinet office failed yesterday bythe government will vote on such a motion? i do admire the way he put a question that has been put to prime minister and put to the chancellor of lancaster and i very much echo the replies that they gave to the house there. the way to and uncertainty is not to go back on your manifesto — not yours, mr speaker — but to go back on the labour party's manifesto and have a second referendum. all a second referendum will do is prolong the uncertainty. we may get the same result with a further level of uncertainty as he got there a second referendum. what we need to do is back the deal, move on and give businesses as he and i agree the certainty they need. in the event at the withdrawal agreement being defeated a second time, the government must be committed to voting in favour of a no—deal brexit. otherwise, it will have, in effect, taken the no deal off the table, won't it? another conservative poked fun at those who feared no deal. does my right honourable friend agree with me that if a no

nigel dodds went into the cabinet office and met several senior cabinet ministers, came out and saidmes a bit of brexitjarman democrat jargon, about comes a bit of brexitjarman democratjargon, about giving... given the northern ireland assembly say on what happens during the backstop say on what happens during the ba cksto p if say on what happens during the backstop if it is activated. because the european union will continue dreaming up regulations and rules, and that kind of thing, ensuring that northern ireland as an executive would have the opportunity to say no to new regulations that would affect it but not the rest of the uk, to ensure it in other words that the potential that northern ireland dressed further apart from the rest of the uk, and ultimately closer to the eu in the event the backstop is activated. now it looks like they make make some progress on that, and they are now saying their position to softening but not there yet. but they are necessary but not sufficient for the prime minister to get this deal through parliament. backbenchers don't like it either, and be

speaker, that she is only going to ask for a short extension which contradicts what the cabinet office minister told the house, saying in the absence of a deal seeking a short extension would be downright reckless and completely at odds with the position this house adopted last night. who is downright reckless, mr. speaker? the prime minister plowing on with a non-achievable unsupported deal, or others in this house who want to achieve something serious and sensible to prevent the damage to the british economy, jobs, and living standards around this country? prime minister may: the right honorable gentleman last week of abstained on a vote on the second referendum despite the fact that it is labour party policy, then have the nerve to stand up and say he got support -- written -- reiterated the support for a second referendum. he has no idea what he wants on the future of the issue. he asks about a long extension. he asks about a long extension. i am opposed to a long extension. i don't want a long extension, setting aside the issue that a long extension would mean we would have to vot

oliver letwin is a former cabinet office minister who is one of those behind efforts to find cross partys were to get a majority in favour of a particular solution, that would not be a piece of legislation in itself. so what‘s the point of them? because, in the first place, if we begin this process on wednesday, there is a real chance that if not — and i don‘t think it is likely to happen on the first round — but if not in the first round then in the second, or maybe even, very quickly thereafter, a third, i think we might get to a majority view, and once you‘ve got a majority view, first of all the government knows what could obtain a majority in the house of commons — a pretty important thing to find out, because the whole problem with the prime minister‘s deal, which i‘ve voted for all the way along, is that she hasn‘t been able to get a majority. we don‘t know what she could get a majority for, so once we find that out there is a way forward, in principle. then the next thing would be for the prime minister to take that forward, and for the government to implement it, and parliament

if they file into her office, into the cabinet and say, time for you to go, surely they would then have an alternative or who a successor would be. that is what gives her hope of hanging on, under normal circumstances, she would be toast, underany circumstances, she would be toast, under any normal circumstances, any other prime minister, but the circumstances are anything but normal, it is still possible, margaret thatcher was brought down by one cabinet minister after another, going into her office and saying, time is up, you cannot carry oi'i. saying, time is up, you cannot carry on. if that were to happen, couldn't she technically say, i don't care what you say, i am staying. yes, but she has to find people who are willing to serve in her cabinet, the politics can bring her down. but, they can also keep her in place because as you suggest, the conservative party is not going to coalesce around an agreed candidate to replace her, if they were, it would be straightforward, she would be out, somebody else would be in and on we would go, plenty of people jockeying for position and alrea

at that time, it went to the cabinet office in the situation was set up in which the banbury center was established. there was the time no oversight board, so the whole process that occurred out of sight of ministers. so malcolm rivkin, a great friend to the henry jackson society and a very strong friend of the transatlantic alliance, was compelled to write a superb parliamentary report on that. i urge you to look at that if you want to dip your toe in supply chain security and telecoms sector. it happened without real ministerial oversight. you had the sense that the price single had impelled the decision. furthermore, there was no framework within government in which to say for example, british telecom, you have signed a contract and we are going to have to ask you to un-sign it. with the british government the responsible for lost revenue? there was a tricky legal issue in which the united kingdom was not ready for this situation in a tricky policy way. that is true of the entire 5g conversation. that is why i urge more think tanks and research to really start talking about this, so

this is even more remarkable, given that the minister for the cabinet office told this very chamber,ast wednesday for the prime minister to try to pit the people against mps. mps elected here doing their duty to hold the government of their duty to hold the government of the day to account, that is what parliament exists for. and in a climate of heightened emotions, where mps on all sides have received threats and intimidation, i hope the prime minister will further reflect and think again about making what i believe to be such dangerous and irresponsible statements. every step of the way along this process, the government has refused to reach out, refused to listen and refused to find a consensus that can represent the views of the whole country, not just the conservative party. large parts of our country continue to be ignored by this government. no wonder so many people felt compelled to march on the streets or sign petitions over the weekend. even the most ardent of levers, even mr speaker, the most ardent of leaders think this government has failed. it is easy to understand the

it was centrally controlled so you now have a situation where an oligarchy and centre office determine who the cabinets of parliament who then become the members of the government and if you take away the right of constituency associations to get rid of their mps, that oligarchy is controlling everything. it has ramifications throughout our united kingdom democracy and i haven't fought to bring democracy back to the united kingdom to see it taken over back to the united kingdom to see it ta ken over by back to the united kingdom to see it taken over by a soviet style leadership at central office. to be fairto you, leadership at central office. to be fair to you, you have been consistent in making these arguments over many, many years. i remember when william hague was the prime minister —— when william hague was the party leader. but a0 years ago there was a labour mp called reg prentice in london who fell out with his local party in london and he argued his position was undermined because activists wanted to constrain his ability to make the case and make the arguments. in the end, he left labour and
