andrew marr had a p0p maybe at 11:30pm...g a hugged and kissed jean—claude junker... whose side are you really on? it'sjust giving a greeting, hard to say. we think that we know that tony blair is anti—brexit. what a strange thing to accuse him of. i do remember though, rob, i'm sure you do even better thani rob, i'm sure you do even better than i do it that labour said, we've got it wrong on immigration, when ed miliband was in charge. tony blair has not said it before, though. it is significant that he accepts that in the ruled that he allowed when he was prime minister, they are no longer appropriate, he said, that was the story this morning that he had used to produce this report, saying that it was time to reduce controls on free movement, perhaps that would be enough to change voters' mine, perhaps it would be enough to stop brexit, which is what tony blair wants to do. it was interesting watching this morning, you could see a bit of despair that it is only tony who is out there making the case for, even at this stage b

this is the home secretary on the andrew marr show. we have theresa may managing that process.ure that we help her do that. this is back—seat driving? absolutely. i am clear that the cabinet and government supports theresa may. that there is a difficult moment to ensure we get the best result for the united kingdom, but i'm sure we can. a huge amount of criticism, it was like a flashback, a year ago, the £350 million a week he sees, boris johnson, the uk will benefit from. that figure was wisely discredited. there is a bbc piece that looks at the numbers. you can see online why people say that. it is the gross figure but margaret thatcher negotiated a rebate and the rebate stays in the uk and the figure is smaller. the labour party suggested he was indulging in fantasy and the liberal democrats said it was a lie. chris mason. the liberal democrat leader vince cable said the prime minister should sack boris johnson for his comments. he told the bbc as the party conference continues in bournemouth that it was perfectly possible he could become britain's next prime minister. he sa

that was a subject discussed by amber rudd on sunday's andrew marr show.ously at the time of the referendum that he was the life and soul of the party, but not a man you would want to drive you home at the end of the evening. what did you mean by that? what i meant by that is that i don't want him managing the brexit process. what we've got is theresa may managing that process. she is driving the car, to continue the allegory, and i'm going to make sure, as far as i am concerned and the rest of the cabinet are concerned, we help her do that. this is back—seat driving, in effect? you could call it back—seat driving, absolutely. and i'm very clear that the cabinet and the government supports theresa may, that there is a difficult moment to make sure that we get the best result for the united kingdom, but i am sure we can. so was that the home secretary publicly admonishing the foreign secretary, providing evidence of widening cabinet splits over brexit, as bbc news bulletins and website articles subsequently claimed ? not according to clive tong, who objecte

amber rudd was asked this morning if he was guilty back—seat driving and she agreed with andrew marrstop it, but here's the foreign secretary and we know that he was a leave campaign, and a prevalent one. why should he not talk about the type of brexit he foresees? when you take a step back from the internal politics of the conservative party, and you think hang on, hang on, on national television the home secretary told the foreign secretary to be quiet, that's an extraordinary place to be. the weight they are presented is kind of apps. it's not difficult to imagine that being the conservative leadership concept —— contest. the language she used was amazing. she said he was irrepressible and enthusiastic, which is the way you talk about a well—trained puppy or a toddler. but the politics of this, it's toddler. but the politics of this, its extraordinary for him to bring up its extraordinary for him to bring up £350 million again because it annoyed the remainers, but that is not who he is trying to appeal to. he is trying to remind the tory backbenchers who spent the summer flirting

amber rose is on the andrew marr programme on bbc one after 9am.is near to the house in sunbury—on—thames. andy, what's the latest? the homes that were evacuated yesterday, the people have been allowed to go back in. but please gordon remains in place. if we look down the streets, you can see that overnights, a very sophisticated barrier has been erected across the street. if we look at the view from a different camera, you can see perhaps that there is a barrier on this side of the house and another on the other side. right outside the houseis on the other side. right outside the house is a police forensics tent, with a yellow roof. that's right outside the very distinctively coloured my lack house. that is where the foster couple lives. with this young man, and we believe with another foster child. another young man, another refugee. the police believe the man who planted the bomb on the tube lived here. the question then arises, was he the man who made then arises, was he the man who made the bomb and was the bomb made here at this very tiny ter

let me put you what jeremy corbyn said on the andrew marr programme.e says that there will be problems with state aid rules, he will be able to put money into the steel industry, he couldn't renationalise the railways. in other words, if you stay in the single market, he can't pursue his agenda. that's not true. 0ther market, he can't pursue his agenda. that's not true. other countries have publicly owned utilities. there's no reason why being in the single market shouldn't allow us to pursue that programme. i was very encouraged by what jeremy said when he said he would listen to labour party members and phobias. the overwhelming majority want britain to stay in the single market. they wa nt to stay in the single market. they want us to rescue britain from this disastrous high brexit and the chaos is the government is about to plunge as into. but len mccluskey, a key ally ofjeremy corbyn, was saying that if we stay in the single market, that is almost putting two fingers up to all those people who voted to leave the eu because staying in the single ma

speaking on the andrew marr programme, mr fallon said it wasn't true that his government's response hadops in to strengthen the local police force. the island has been devastated, it has been difficult for people to move around and to get helicopters there, but there are troops to ensure law and order is maintained. but there have been voices from there and from parliament that has said our response has been too slow, slower than france and holland. that is not true, the french did not have any kind of ship like mounts bay. they had a couple of frigates there. they have the advantage of having troops, they garrison their overseas territory, so that troops were already in addition. —— in position. we have local police forces on these islands, but our response has been as good as anybody else's. i can tell you that the french have asked for our assistance in lifting troops and material to some of their islands. we have two to three flights going out each day bringing more and there is plenty more on hurricane irma on our website: bbc.co.uk/news. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc

the brexit secretary david davis has been speaking on the andrew marr show, as has his shadow, keir starmerave the two sides here firming up we have the two sides here firming up their positions ahead of a crucial week ahead, when that eu repeal bill will be debated. david davis is of a back of the week of negotiations with michel barnier and the eu, and he is trying to reassure people that things are going 0k. what has been coming out of the eu, that sounded like a week of fractious negotiations, he's saying that it's going to be like this. it's going to be tense but we will get there in the end. the idea of reassuring people and saying it's not going as badly as some might think. 0n the other hand, labour's shadow brexit secretary, keir starmer, said that the idea that the uk could have an interim single market agreement after brexit is nonsense. as for that will, this is where the divisions really lie. labour and where the divisions really lie. labourand keir where the divisions really lie. labour and keir starmer are hoping to draw in some tory backbenchers to try to defeat the governme

, being announced and into tomorrow morning, and the prime minister will talk about this on the andrew marrbc one tomorrow, is this idea of freezing tuition fees, but more importantly, raising the threshold at which a graduate starts to repay their debt. it is currently to repay their debt. it is currently to £1000. it will go up from the next financial year to £25,000. that will matter to graduates who might get a starting job on £22,000, for instance, and therefore not have to pay anything back until they are earning that it small. all that said, compared with the promise labour made, equally, the conservatives are in government and can change government policy. labour can change government policy. labour can make old promises from the sidelines but they are not in government to implement them. —— bold promises. but the conservatives will have to fund it. how? that will bea will have to fund it. how? that will be a headache for philip hammond, on top of the fact that public sector pay may not be capped as it was. yes, while it is not politically fashionable these days to bang on about the

however, when you listen to the labour leader on the andrew marr programme this morning, it seems tohe was giving a bit of a slap back to the idea he will do that. if you listen to him here, he is saying, we will stay in the single market, it is difficult because we can't spend money on the industries we want to, like the steel industry, because of eu state aid rules. there is also increasing pressure to privatise industries. in other words, staying in the single market, he has a problem with it. i don't want us to become some kind of offshore tax haven on the shores of offshore tax haven on the shores of europe. i don't want to do a sweetheart deal with donald trump which means you no environmental, consumer rights and then it is a race to the bottom. what i want is for us to have an economy that develops and grows, and investment led economy, high wage, high activity economy. you do that by and effective trading relationship with europe. the other litmus test issue for many of mr corbyn's young and enthusiastic supporters is the issue of freedom of movement. a lot of opposition to

let me put you whatjeremy corbyn said on the andrew marr show, he said i will not be able to put moneythere is a problem with privatisation, i could renationalise the railways, if we stay in the single market, i could not pursue my agenda? that is not true. germany has a wonderfully state—owned railway system. there is no reason why staying in the single market should not allow us to pursue that programme. i was very encouraged by what jeremy programme. i was very encouraged by whatjeremy said programme. i was very encouraged by what jeremy said when he programme. i was very encouraged by whatjeremy said when he said he would listen to labour party members and vote as the overwhelming majority of whom want britain to stay in the single market, they want us stay in the single market, they want us to rescue britain from this disastrous conservative hard brexit and the chaos that the government is about to plunge it into. len mccluskey, a key ally ofjeremy corbyn, he said if we stay in the single market, that is basically almost putting two fingers up to all those people who voted to leav
