the response that we just received your bbc news from andrea leadsom.u saw a copy of her letter, what did you make of what was said and there? she brought a number of points up, uncomfortable compromises, sovereignty of the country, and the second referendum, a complete breakdown of collective responsibility. i think she has a particular role as leader of comments to set up the timetable for the legislation because she does not support it and i think that is the key reason why she could not in all good conscience go forward to set the timetable for legislation. interesting that she took a swipe at remainders in the cabinet talking about the prime minister's tolerance of people who went beyond their collective responsibility of the cabinet. but it may be a moment that andrea leadsom was the one that came to the final two when she pulled out of the contest after giving some remarks during the campaign. of the contest after giving some remarks during the campaignm response to the resignation, the statement from the pm said that tonight, that the deal she n

and andrea leadsom, who stood against theresa may last time before pulling out, may also try again. there will be more, many more, who go for it. a new prime minister will be in place by the time parliament breaks up for the summer recess in latejuly. but whoever goes through this door in a few weeks‘ time will face the same challenges that mrs may will soon leave behind — a deadlocked parliament, a brexit deal the eu says is closed, and a deeply divided country. we will have more from downing street throughout this evening. but now it is time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch. in a week of high political drama, including resignations and an election, how well has bbc news managed the journalistic challenge? and with celebrity chef jamie oliver's business going into administration, is that really more important than the fate of british steel? the most dramatic moment of television news this week came on friday morning, but had been much anticipated. for a good hour or more, before the speech announcing the date of theresa may's resignation, bbc news was broadcasting live

notjust this morning, but for many mornings, andrea leadsom's had doubts on her mind about the primeter's version of brexit. well, i'm looking very carefully at the legislation today, as leader of the commons, that's myjob, and making sure that it delivers brexit. thanks very much. for this eurosceptic, a less cheery goodbye from government tonight. in her letter to no 10, ms leadsom wrote: "i do not believe we will be a truly sovereign uk through the deal. a second referendum now held out as a possibility by the government would be dangerously divisive." and criticising colleagues who'd been on the other side of the debate, she said there had been "a complete breakdown of collective responsibility." it was already a painful day for theresa may, speeding in the side of the commons. stop brexit! prime minister... eurosceptic ministers were absent from their normal places supporting her at prime minister's questions. then watch, that's andrea leadsom walking in more than half an hour late, having been with other brexiteers who have fears about theresa may's version of brexit. then at l

he has been given this job because of the resignation of andrea leadsom.s a potion for him though, he will be in the cabinet. he was a remainer, he was on that side of the arguments during the referendum. interestingly, he is the person behind the scenes he was running the unofficial leadership campaign of michael gove. this has all come about because andrea leadsom decided last night she could no longer stay in the cabinet because she felt she couldn't support the prime minister's brexit plans, and we've heard from her today about that decision. for me, i felt i couldn't, in all conscience, stand up and deliver the business statement today with the withdrawal agreement bill in it that i couldn't support elements of. so i have no doubts that i made the right decision and of course it is for the prime minister to decide what's right for her and for the country. thanks very much. she's not the only one said to have concerns about all of this. jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, has beenin hunt, the foreign secretary, has been in to see the prime minister tod

andrea leadsom, who resigned as leader of the house days ago, told the sunday times that if she becamehe uk would leave the eu at the end of october, the current deadline, with or without a deal. writing in the mail on sunday, former brexit secretary dominic raab agrees, saying he would prefer to leave the eu with a deal, but as he puts it, the country must also calmly demonstrate an unflinching resolve to leave at the end of october at the latest. he also set out plans to cut a penny off the basic rate of income tax, and boost apprenticeships and paternity leave. but in these opening skirmishes of the campaign, what is emerging as the central faultline is the instincts of the candidates on a no—deal brexit. some are willing to embrace it, others believe it would be a disaster. the outlook of the potential winner could shape our country for years to come. let's speak to our political correspondent, tom barton, whojoins us now from our london newsroom. tom, we know we now have eight candidates, at least, running. how are they going to whittle it all down? ate potentially more to come as

so why did the resignation of andrea leadsom set in trained the fact that she's going to announce thatmore blow in a very long line of and i will say no more than that. the only thing i thought was interesting was how it echoes of thatcher, the final throes of thatcher, and what's interesting isa of thatcher, and what's interesting is a few days ago people like jeremy hunt, kind of cabinet ministers who we re hunt, kind of cabinet ministers who were trying to have meetings with her, and her office and val blocked them and they reminded me of when all this cabinet ministers went to go see margaret thatcher and told her to resign, so perhaps theresa may is really set up battling down the hatches and saying look i will not have other people tell me to go i would do it in my own time and way, but she isjack said, i really running out of time. i think that's fair, infairness running out of time. i think that's fair, in fairness to her there is a sense that the prime minister announcing her resignation on the eve of elections which we had today would not have been a good look for the party,

last night, one of her senior ministers, the leader of the commons, andrea leadsom, announced her own resignation, saying she couldn't introduce the bill to mps when she opposed key parts of it. let's speak to our assistant political editor, norman smith. good morning, norman. is this withdraw bill going to be published tomorrow given those calls for theresa may to step down? that is the intention of number ten at the moment but this is a very fluid situation. you have to say that the backlash against this bill is phenomenal. that really is very little support for it in the conservative party and it seems we are now beginning to see a possible cabinet revolt as well in the wake of andrea leadsom's decision last night. we know the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, will meet with mrs may later, another cabinet minister and others have asked for meetings but at the moment, the position of number ten seems to be to try to carry on. later today, the government will confirm to be that it will publish the bill tomorrow and the intention is to bring it back to the commons for a vote in the firs

andrea leadsom said it was costing the taxpayer a fortune to patch and mend a building that was beyondand mending. moving out, despite the multi—billion pound bill, would be cheaper in the long run. but many mps are concerned about the cost. there are people, many people in all of our constituencies, who are hungry and face destitution. my question is, how dare the government bring forward a bill before we are out of austerity? dame caroline spelman shared the joint committee of mps and peers on the draft restoration bill. so why do mps need to change the law to get the builders in? we need a piece of legislation to underpin how we would go about restoring and renewing our parliament. because it would require quite a lot of taxpayers money to make this work. and we need to provide some guidelines to set up the people who are going to run this project, and make sure that it is done on time and on budget. the bill cleared its first commons hurdle without a vote, and will now be looked at in more detail. two of the mps keeping a close eye on the plans are the conservatives sir edward leig

you could say she has lost andrea leadsom but so what, she could hunker down. has been a mood change in the party now that all goes back to the deal she put together to try to the deal she put together to try to get labour on board. for many tory mps, the bridge they were not prepared to cross was this idea of opening the way to another referendum. although mrs may has insisted she is not backing another referendum, she is simply saying to mps, if you want to vote on this i will enable it, i think symbolically many tory mps took that as a step too far, to even talk about that as an option. was that her big political mistake? if she hadn't done that, could she have survived? i actually think any compromise she offered now would have either enraged her own party, or wouldn't have been enough to get labour on board. i think we have passed the point of compromise. if this deal had been put on the table a year or so had been put on the table a year or so ago, i think it would probably have got a healthy majority, because there are concessions in there which to appea
