i don't want to be rude about anna soubry but she does tend to go over the top sometimes.there are, obviously, while the government is formulating its approach, different voices from different parts of the party. she is not wrong when she says that the divisions over europe brought down major and brought down cameron and theresa may will be the third victim unless she stands up to them. i don't think these hardline brexiteers as you call them are aiming to bring her down, far from it, they are trying to influence in one direction. do you think they do have that influence? are they in control? of course not. they do things that anna soubry was objecting to, one leaving the customs union, and never leaving the single market. theresa may has decided to pursue that for two simple reasons. the first with the customs union is to have the freedom to strike trade deals elsewhere in the world, and leaving the single market is essential because she judges, and i think she was this strongly, that the british public will also determined that we should have greater control over our bor

my name is anna soubry, and i'm the member of parliament for broxtowe in nottinghamshire.hall be having lunch with. so that in itself is going to be quite interesting, and hopefully we will have a great conversation as well. i think there's an argument that says it was such a long struggle for women to get the vote, we kind of should get out and use it. well, luckily, i'm feeling quite hungry, so i'm certainly looking forward to my food. but actually, more importantly, i want to know who the hell i'm having it with! hello. hi. lovely to meet you. hi, i'm anna. 0livia. lovely to meet you, too. how are you? i'm all right, darling, how you? very well, thank you. you have to tell me all about yourself. i am olivia, and i was on a show called love island. i don't know if you're familiar with it. ah, yes. did you watch? i can't imagine you did. well, no, i do watch certain programmes, but love island's escaped me. and what you do? i think i do know, but... so, my name's anna, and i'm a member of parliament. yes. and i was elected in 2010, and i did other stuff as well. and i dec

she will win over anna soubry, do you think?ill have an open mind and listen to what the prime minister says. labour's efforts to persuade conservative rebels to resist the government's plans are set to intensify. now there is a clear difference between the tories and labour on brexit. earlier she explained there had been some uncertainty over the position of labour. for some time, theresa may has been pushed to set out the government's vision for ourfuture relationship with the eu but labour has been pushed as well. there has been uncertainty of the clear position of the labour party after transition. with both of them making big speeches this week and the rebels being encouraged to come out of the woodwork or get back on side were they will be, are we going to get a clear sense of the parliamentary arithmetic? as journalists we tot up numbers all the time. when it comes to the crunch, are rebels on the conservative side prepared potentially to bring down the government? it looks this way at the moment. we know the former tory

the second option is this cross—party amendment that would be tabled by anna soubry for the tories andmunna for labour. we had a precedent where the tories defeated the government. that could go through. the other option is the separate eu withdrawal bill which is currently in the house of lords. you will find that peers will try to amend that bill to put in a customs union and the thing for the government is, they would then have to get the numbers in the commons to overturn that. let's go through the maths. three key numbers. the government's working majority with the dup. the number of labour rebels who will support the government on brexit, who add to that majority. then you can calculate how many tory rebels then need to be to make customs union happen. let's go through those. at the risk of trying to outbid you of all people on numbers. the government's effective working majority with the help of the dup and house of commons is 13. it's widely assumed there are seven labour brexit rebels, in other words they will vote down the line with the government on brexit, which effectively

she will win over anna soubry, do you think?ve an open mind and listen to what the prime minister says. labour's efforts to persuade conservative rebels to resist the government's plans are set to intensify. now there is a clear difference between the tories and labour on brexit. the brexit commissioning editorfor the daily telegraph joins us. the brexit commissioning editorfor the daily telegraphjoins us. it will be very interesting now. they are using a very curious way of keeping discipline among the tory party, which is to remind them that jeremy corbyn is over there and then may be ideological overlap in that tour remain as we want to back them on the idea of keeping britain in the customs union but all of this would undermine the brexit strategy to kick critical moment and destabilise the government and increase the chances ofjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister. that makes sense if you are a corporate night. —— corbynite. makes sense if you are a corporate night. -- corbynite. they are willing to pay the price, by lettin

of whether or not britain stays in a new customs union or not with the european union, because anna soubryas put down an amendment to the trade bill, which we expect to see at some point in the next few weeks, the government holding back until they think they've shored up enough support, she wants to amend it, calling for a new customs union, and if, as seems likely now, the labour party swings in behind the and perhaps a dozen, maybe more, tory mps, there is a good chance the government could be defeated, and a customs union would be imposed on the government. 50 customs union would be imposed on the government. soto customs union would be imposed on the government. so to make sure the referendum result is respected, it would be out with the old customs union and in with something different that would replicate it? it's like our membership of the single market now is dependent on being a member of the eu. it's the same with the customs union. what is being proposed by labour is that we will have an arrangement a bit like turkey, andorra, the smaller countries on the revelry of the eu that

because anna soubry, the tory mps, has been down this amendment to the trade bill but we expect to see next few weeks, the government are holding back until they are short enough support to get it through, she wants to amend it, calling for a new customs union, and if, as seems likely after today, the labour party swings in behind her and perhaps a dozen ahmad more tory mps, there was a good chance that the government could be defeated on this, and a customs union with them really be imposed on the government. that is why liber‘s position matters. so to make sure that the referendum result matters it would be out with the old customs union but in some indifferent? and ownership of the single market depends on being a member of them ship of the ee, what is being proposed by labour is that we will have an arrangement of it like turkey, andorra, these smaller countries on the periphery of the eu that are not eu members, that have done their own customs union agreements with the european union. in the case of turkey they don't cover a ll in the case of turkey they don't cover all goods, ag

—— anna soubry. defeated on this? wake of a government defeat? we have parliamentary sovereignty. the way these things usually work actually, is wanted becomes obvious to achieve with leading ministers that they can't persuade parliament to agree with this, then the government comes forward with its own proposals to make sure that it actually deliver something which parliament is satisfied. i voted against the government quite a lot in that early bill but that was a mess, that will be changed anyway. but this trade bill, i don't want to vote against it. i was a mainstream establishment conservatives and other referendum, almost two years ago. and the key thing is that the government faces up thing is that the government faces up to the reality, it is interest interest of jobs up to the reality, it is interest interest ofjobs and investment and a majority opinion the house of commons. and bring oppose those forward for a customs arrangements which went suddenly create costs, delays and handicap from exporters and multi

anna soubry said on this programme but she could not serve under jacob rees—mogg and you couldn't... are held together not necessarily by people agreeing on everything but by ties of loyalty and affection. clearly there can come a point in a process of party with the ties of loyalty and affection get so stressed that it snaps and that is when the party starts to fall apart. the difficulty is that we are a party which historically has been very pragmatic in its approach to problems and we have just introduced, by a revolutionary means of a referndum, a deep ideological division. and for a pragmatic party to get over that and absorb the ideological division and come together to deliver pragmatic government is clearly an immense challenge but then look at labour. they are as equally divided, they are all over the place and they cannot answer any of the similar questions about what they want. but let's put the country first and not the party, the interests of our traders and people come and we will get over this and you have to. thank you very much indeed. viewed with western eyes, the c

she will win over anna soubry, do you think?have an open mind and listen to what the prime minister says. labour's efforts to persuade conservative rebels to resist the government's plans are set to intensify now there is a clear difference between the tories and labour on brexit. well, earlier today i spoke to the telegraph's brexit commissioning editor asa bennett. liam fox and fellow ministers are using a very curious way of keeping discipline among the tory party, which is basically to remind them thatjeremy corbyn is over there and, yes, they may have ideological overlap and that tory remainers may want to back them on the idea of keeping britain as some sort of of keeping britain in some sort of customs union but then all this would really undermine the brexit strategy at a critical moment and thereby destabilise the government, and increasing the chance of prime minister corbyn happening. well, that kind of makes sense if you're a corbynite, doesn't it? absolutely, that's the thing. you have to look at the wings of the pa

tory remainers are leading the charge, ken clarke, anna soubry and others have made it clear througherjeremy corbyn, john mcdonnell and the shadow cabinet will lead us to a position where we can defeat the government. call me old—fashioned, but i think it is in gently —— it is generally in the interest of the opposition to beat the government in votes. party politics aside, this is about the national interest, and the labour party has a particular responsibility. we are meant to be the party of work, protecting jobs and livelihoods, and if we want a job site in first brexit, we have to remain in the single market and a customs union. my sense is that we are still in the land of the gato — there have your cake and eat it. theresa may once the freedom to negotiate trade deals once we leave the eu, and equally, it is clear that they do not want any sort of trade border. whether eu negotiators are willing to concede that, that is are willing to concede that, that is a tough one. it will be interesting by the privately david davis floats that passed michel barnier when he arrives in the n

anna soubry on one wing, jacob rees—mogg on the other. and the european commission.u have got to sort out what you want to do with northern ireland. and what to do with the transition. if you can't do that in that period, you can't do that in that period, you might not get either. anastacia, sam talks about a six—week deadline, your businesses are talking about a two week deadline. time is running out is the final point on this. we know that the next eu council summit will be on the 22nd at 23rd of march. that means that when the guidelines for the next stage of the negotiations are adopted, what will be discussed by the end of these withdrawal arrangements, once that is decided, there is very little opportunity to change the discussion. if the government and the prime minister becomes more proactive in outlining her vision, this bodes well for the negotiations and it means that businesses are now waiting to understand what do in the next year and further ahead, they will be able to make decisions with a lot more. sam, do you think things will get any easier for ther

well, anna soubry has said that it is time for theresa may to clear out people like borisjohnson theresaspent a large amount of this morning prepping... that's enough from me. let's cross to the chamber. and the house willjoin me in kgb to dean sprouting in iraq, his death was not the cause of enemy activity. the house will join was not the cause of enemy activity. the house willjoin in offering condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time. yesterday, winning one the right to vote. i know the whole house, well, from a sedentary position, labour say someone, i'm pleased to say that universal suffrage did come for women ten years later under a conservative government. but i'm sure mr speaker, the whole house will want tojoin sure mr speaker, the whole house will want to join me sure mr speaker, the whole house will want tojoin me in marking the heroic and tireless struggle that led to women having the vote because it forever changed our nation's future. mr speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial collea g u es had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others

anna soubry has called upon you to throw out the hardline brexiteers, would you like to see people liker a bit? and devious but in the party? the party is focused on one clear thing to do which is what the british people asked us to do which is to leave the european union. we set out a clear position in the lancaster house speech, the article 50 letta, the florence speech. all of these show the same principles underpinning what we want to do when we leave the european union, which is to ensure we get a good dealfor our trading in goods and services, i'm optimistic about that because it would be a good dealfor the european union as well. and when we leave the eu we will be able to see global britain standing tall and proud in the world and trading with other countries around the rest of the world as well. so we are focused on doing what the british people asked as to do and that is leaving the european union. thank you. applause so the prime minister finishing so the prime ministerfinishing her speech and talking about brexit. just before we go to new york, just to confirm the news thatj
