such as anna soubry.r asked: and this phone caller, who rang on monday evening, also felt the decision wasn't quite such a bombshell as was being portrayed. the bbc is still not making it clear that... the political parties, right through this year, and regularly every year, parliament does not operate during political party conferences. the number of extra days is relatively few. but, as ever with brexit, there was another side to the story. with some people objecting to the opinions on display in vox pops, featured on the bbc news website. and also on television reports, such as this from stratford—upon—avon, on wednesday's news at six. it's sad that these little core of politicians who didn't like what we the public voted for, have thrown their rattles out of the pram and caused all this fuss. and ijust think boris is absolutely right. teresa reynolds had this response. we will certainly be returning to that argument in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, we also have had some response to coverage

anna soubry, thank you very much.the uk is now an autocracy not a democracy, the queen should not be asked to make such decisions, shocking news. shown on text says we live in a fascist state where democracy is abandoned, replaced by lies and despotic pronouncements. this is what my grandfather fought against, not four. thank you for your comments, to keep them coming in. we are going to continue with reaction to the news that the government is asking the queen to prorogue parliament to make way for queen speech on the 14th of october. we will move away from that subject just for october. we will move away from that subjectjust for a october. we will move away from that subject just for a moment. the way in which a relationship that ends in murder develops can be predicted, and perhaps stopped, according to new research out today. around 100 women and 30 men are killed by a partner or former partner every year. drjane monckton smith from the university of gloucestershire looked at almost 400 cases and, in her paper, s

and the independent route for a change mp anna soubry says...now. the conservative mp lucy allen agrees with that, she says... i've also just i've alsojust got i've also just got some reaction from the reaction from the dup leader arlene foster and she echoes the last tweets, saying this has been the longest parliamentary session since 1707. we welcome the decision to hold a queen's speech, where the government will set out its new agenda. it is outlined in the confidence and supply agreement the confidence and supply agreement the dp has with the government, the terms of that agreement will be reviewed in advance of the new session. we will continue the work with the prime minister to strengthen the union, deliver a sensible deal with the eu and restore devolution in northern ireland. one more bit of reaction until we go to our next guest, this is from the brexit coordinator for the european parliament who has said, government's plans to suspend parliament are unlikely to help deliver a stable eu and uk relationship in the future. taking back c

anna soubry, thank you very much for your time.acy protests. let's go to the chinese embassy in london where china's ambassador to the uk, liu xiaoming is speaking. he is painting a pretty definitive picture of the stance the chinese government will take in regard to these protests. no foreign country should interfere in hong kong cosmic internal affairs. urge those foreign forces to serve —— to respect china's sovereignty and security. and immediately stop interfering in hong kong's affairs, stop interfering in china's internal affairs, stop conniving in violent offences. they should not misjudge the situation and go down the wrong path. otherwise they will lift the stone, only to drop it on their own feet. fourth, the media must show the do you social responsibilities. since what happened in hong kong, i have to say the western media have failed to play a credible role. instead of reporting in a just, objective manner, they have confused right and wrong, given an unbalanced account and misled the public. there has been massive co

thank you, we have a line of copy coming in from anna soubry, the leader of the independent group forny government led by jeremy corbyn so echoing what we we re jeremy corbyn so echoing what we were hearing there. in an e—mail to party supporters, she said, mr corbin cannot command unity of support amongst his own mps and government led by him would result ina government led by him would result in a general election. she said that would solve nothing. the five mps of the independent group will support a unity government on the basis it will stop no deal and return brexit to the british people with remain on the ballot paper. going back to matte, confirmation of what you are saying, the numbers are very difficult. absolutely, it is interesting there are others who are favouring the idea of this way of taking control of the order paper, passing legislation. if labour are supporting that, it is not an omission scotchman admission that the first time will not work, but i think that there is a plan b will suggest they are open to the possibility. jeremy corbyn has said he is disappointed t

anna soubry, thank you very much for your reaction to that meeting, as well.umn is around the corner. and those long, cosy evenings wouldn‘t be complete without tv‘s other big knock—out competition — channel a‘s the great british bake off, which gets underway tonight. a baker‘s dozen of 13 contestants will be taking part in the show‘s tenth anniversary special. now let‘s speak to series 7 contestant selasi gbormittah. selasi, good to have you with us. you‘re excited, i‘m sure about the sheu you‘re excited, i‘m sure about the shell retaining site. i presume you will watch avidly. i really am, i can‘t wait to get home later on and tune in because these guys are promising so we will see. i have my money on a couple already. what are you hoping for? it is a really successful formula since the move to channel a. they have been a few little changes and tweaks but essentially there is a core formula which is really successful. what do you hope to see? i like a good drama so definitely some drama. i am sure the bakers will have a lot of fun in the bakers will have a l

mp justine greening, the snp's kirsty blackman, liz saville roberts of plaid cymru, change uk's anna soubryer to stop a no deal brexit. i am deeply, deeply concerned about the prospects of a no ideal. i think it would be a disaster for the country, not just economically but i think in terms of our standing in the world, in terms of our influence on the global stage, in terms of our security, in terms of our environment. so it seems to me this is a really damaging prospect and one that is entirely unnecessary. if we were able to get out of our tribal bunkers and really think with some fresh thinking here. and that is what my proposal is about. which involves only women and you say in your open letter to these high—profile women, i believe women have shown they can bring a different perspective to crises, are able to reach out to those they disagree with and cooperate to find solutions. swap the word women for men, and you would say that was sexist? i'm talking about my own experience and i appreciate it is a generalisation, but in my experience i have found women have generally been more abl

interviews hard to come by, bbc news interviewed a number of opponents of a no—deal brexit, such as anna soubryegularly every year, parliament does not operate during political party conferences. the number of extra days is relatively few. but, as ever with brexit, there was another side to the story with some people objecting to the balance of opinions on display in vox pops featured on the bbc news website and also on television reports such as this from stratford—upon—avon on wednesday's news at six. it's sad that this little corps of politicians who didn't like what we, the public, voted for, have thrown their rattles out off the pram and caused all this fuss. and ijust think boris is absolutely right. teresa reynolds had this response... we'll certainly be returning to that argument in the next few weeks but in the meantime we've also had some response to the coverage of the notting hill carnival which took place last weekend. dot childs felt that bbc news approached story in the wrong way, e—mailing... now, summer holidays for many people are positively defined by sunshine and heat and th

the same happened with james goddard, who famously harassed anna soubry.ce. a few weeks ago a far right activist who founded the british chapter of pig either posted pitches of me at a pub. —— pegida. he was saying he would draw on the skills of his past asa would draw on the skills of his past as a soldier. there has been a general escalation of threats and violence and death, no question whatsoever that this group of men while specifically targeting me and my friends had to defend me from an attack. which bit of you is that they are targeting? your views on homophobic attack?|j they are targeting? your views on homophobic attack? i am the antithesis of what they stand for, i'm gay, a socialist, an antifascist, i'm involved in antifascist, i'm involved in antifascist organisations. owen jones on the today programme. time to hit the bbc at and see what is capturing your attention. —— the bbc app. vegetable jug, funniest capturing your attention. —— the bbc app. vegetablejug, funniest at capturing your attention. —— the bbc app. vegetable jug, funniest at t

others will attend today including anna soubry, the former conservative and now independent mp, who wouldnce against borisjohnson, but to get conservative rebels onside that would be necessary to get this over the line, they might prefer somebody else to be in charge of a caretaker administration, perhaps harriet harman or ken clarke. there's a whole range of difficulties, as you can see. the most likely outcome todayis can see. the most likely outcome today is they try to seize control of the parliamentary agenda from borisjohnson of the parliamentary agenda from boris johnson and the of the parliamentary agenda from borisjohnson and the government and basically to legislate for no—deal, that in itself wouldn't stop boris johnson, for example, potentially suspending parliament for a few days or calling jeremy corbyn's bluff and calling a general election and campaigning to come out. iain, thanks very much. worth saying what they might be talking about, we will find out more... in 10 minutes we'll speak to the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer about this issue. that's at 7:10am. w

one of the key members of that group of mps anna soubry is the leader of the group known as the independentpens, and there is a vote of no confidence, then boris johnson chooses when he calls that general election. and i‘m afraid the greatest tragedy would be if we crash out on october the 31st and we hold a general election on november the 1st. and the reason she is nervous is because there are reports this afternoon that advisers to boris johnson are saying that if it came to it, if there was a vote of no confidence, a 14 day period had passed where no new government have emerged and there was to be a general election then it falls to borisjohnson to general election then it falls to boris johnson to name general election then it falls to borisjohnson to name the date for that general election and his advisers are apparently saying that he would schedule that election for after the 31st of october, allowing after the 31st of october, allowing a no—deal brexit to happen by default. and that means that those mps who are opposed to a no—deal brexit are now having to think about whether a no—
