do you agree with what ruby said and what anna soubry said yesterday, the ha rd what anna soubry saidc on anna soubry's part. i don't think it is true. basically she saying 52% of the population is hard right because they voted to leave the eu and i don't think you can possibly argue that. i don't think that is what anna soubry was saying at all. if you look at immigration for example i think theresa may is an out rider for the british population on immigration. when you survey the british public we are pretty pragmatic on immigration, happy to haveit pragmatic on immigration, happy to have it as long as there are some controls and economic benefits. what you have seen from theresa may and the conservatives in recent years is they have moved further and further to the right on immigration, adopting useless targets that they cannot achieve and it's a real problem for the conservative party. on the other hand, if theresa may's view was so unpopular, why did a poll yesterday show we are 12 points in the lead? it is one pole. it is indeed only one pole but on the other hand if these 11 mp

anna soubry also became a tory mp in 2010. her constituency is broxtowe in nottinghamshire.a by—election? they should try and just unite and just get this for the country, or just stick together, because it's too late to be divided now. totnes in devon. since 2010 sarah wollaston has held this seat. she is a former gp, and now a former tory. i think i'll probably vote for her. and i'm not a tory, i'm a lib dem. but good for her. i think we've seen politics first hand how it really is, and i think people will think twice about voting in the future, i know we will. a time of political change, and it's notjust mps rethinking the way they'll vote. tim muffett, bbc news. so it's definitely caused a few u psets so it's definitely caused a few upsets hasn't it? among the leaders at least, theresa may says she is very disappointed, jeremy corbyn has said that these mps should resign, and then put themselves up for re—election. there is also quite a bit of confusion as to what the position is, who you voted for in those constituencies. and it was fascinating watching some of the pres

heidi allen, anna soubry and sarah wollaston have resigned. what is your reaction? disappointing. it is very sad and disappointing. it is very sad and disappointing. this all began on monday when seven labour mps quit their party. they have now been joined by an eighth, joan ryan, and there are warnings more could follow. i could no longer ask people to vote forjeremy corbyn to be prime minister of this country, because i don't believe he is fit to because i don't believe he is fit to be prime minister of this country. this is no longer a i—party issue. labour mps this is no longer a i—party issue. labourmps and this is no longer a i—party issue. labour mps and conservative mps are both saying we have had enough, we can no longer support the party we have been members of the years. the impact of this will ultimately have on the political landscape will not be clear for weeks on the political landscape will not be clearfor weeks or on the political landscape will not be clear for weeks or months, but what is clear is that their historical allegiances of parliament ar

already the start of the show is anna. harold is anna?ou found out? we have done it a different way with anna than with my first two. we started to do a mixture of finger foods as well as purists. with 0rla we started straightaway with finger foods around six months. when she started she was definitely ready. she was showing all the signs. she could put her hand to her mouth, move toys to her mouth, and she was able to sit with support. yes, she was just ready. she able to sit with support. yes, she wasjust ready. she is able to sit with support. yes, she was just ready. she is very keen to show the camera. here is that? what is the dull‘s name? chloe. she is very keen that everyone has a look at chloe. charlie, you have gone away. regiment what is being said at the moment in terms of new research about how to recognise the signs that a baby is ready for weaning? about how to recognise the signs that a baby is ready for weaning7m is crucial, this is about research. we are launching a campaign, and information service of all the informatio

he and anna maria were friendly with the washingtons. they became regulars down at mount vernon. and were very much seen as one of the leaders of the community at that time. however, he also gained a reputation as being quarrelsome. incessantsistent and public arguments with every successor's architect of the capitol. it continued throughout his life. he simply could not give up the idea he had designed the building and george washington had approved. it was his blueprints and it was going to be the way he wanted it. of course, he was not a very practical architect, because many times the staircases were not right and the windows word right -- windows weren't right and that kind of stuff. other people had to redesign it. every time they change the slightest thing -- it had no toilets, for example -- he would get up in arms and go to the newspapers and call them traitors to george washington's memory, etc. he got a reputation as a, what should i say? a troublesome man. lettsome had pointed this out. in his letter to franklin he said "this young man has too much sail and not enough

i put ata and, like anna, iwas clear.eral election saying i would fight against the tory ha rd saying i would fight against the tory hard brexit. that's got to be the first time you used jeremy corbyn to back up one of your arguments. i have actually made a note of that. i think is right on that. in my constituency, the highest remain vote in the country in streatham, got an increase in vote of over 15% and my next—door neighbour who i was on your show with, who is very pro—brexit, the increase in her share of the vote was about 3%. there is a clear difference and it's down to my position on brexit. the other thing is, make no mistake in the parliamentary elections are not going to solve this brexit mess. 0k. you've talked a lot about shared values, i will ask you about a major fundamental difference between you, which is about austerity. anna soubry, you said george osborne did a greatjob, i'm a big fan, the coalition did a marvellous job. those are probably not the adjectives you would use about george osborne or the co
