the people at boris johnson do you think that's right?border issue? we have seen repeated opinion pieces that suggest that they do not and somehow, you know, there are issues that concern the much more than the irish border. while people have never been explicit in suggesting they throw northern ireland under a bus, many of us have inferred from some of the behaviour that that is indeed what they would do for the higher principles that they see of delivering the kind of brexit they believe the country voted for. what is also interesting about the position of boris johnson is also interesting about the position of borisjohnson is what happens with those brexit candidates when it comes to a leadership contest. jacob rees mogg is already supporting boris johnson there contest. jacob rees mogg is already supporting borisjohnson there are other people like the former brexit secretary, dominique raab who has not yet swung behind a deal. and a younger contender? exactly. and what is interesting about whether or not they want to deal with the arg

mike boris johnson, perhaps, even.risjohnson changed his position immediately when she announced that. that is absolutely transparent. i think it will have gone down terribly. transparent... notjust within gone down terribly. transparent... not just within the gone down terribly. transparent... notjust within the country, but within the conservative party. this is about his leadership ambitions. not about what is good for the country. i don't think that fact is lost on anybody, even his biggest supporters must realise that is what is driving him here. i don't think it isa is driving him here. i don't think it is a good look. do you think that in the thinking of the likes of borisjohnson in the thinking of the likes of boris johnson and some in the thinking of the likes of borisjohnson and some others, they might be thinking about something that michael gove said sometime ago, which is, ok, let's to this withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this is

exactly if you're boris johnson or older generation now of tory mps and you think the sooner the leadership, the more of a chance of winning at the four new faces like dominic rob come and become established, you can get out the door as soon as possible. i have to say though, i think this was a sort of inevitable turn of events that she would have to come at the last car chance to play she lost about twice polemic and she got to try and offer money, try talking to dp, trying to put back to brussels is everything she has, but is also something slightly extraordinary about the prime minister saying she's going to resign if they get the deal through. telling that to tory mps in a closed meeting, not coming out and doing a statement to the public hour to parliament, i think these images of her in the car, it's not how you expect the prime minister to leave, you expected to be in front of the cameras expressing sadness as david cameron did in 2016 about living office. but does not take the question as to whether or not she really believe she's going, that's what we are saying, ultimately if she

crime was then, and what happened when boris johnson became mayor?r, the numbers were not where they are now. we ended up with that campaign, there was a huge focus on knife crime, and we toured all 32 london boroughs endlessly. and one of the biggest issues was what was happening with young people at that time, what were they doing? there we re time, what were they doing? there were youth groups all around london who are spending time, particularly in that

there are some people who do blame boris johnson notjust for some people who do blame boris johnson noton notjust for holding the referendum —— david cameron folding referendum —— david cameron folding referendum convert people who blame mr cameron for then sort of scoffing very quickly after the result and saying actually, maybe he could have negotiated a more conciliatory kind of brexit. maybe, but at the time, it did seem that somebody who had been so publicly a remainer trying to lead to the brexit process would not have been acceptable to those who had fought for the leave vote. theresa may was of amino. well, she isa theresa may was of amino. well, she is a fences are. well, exactly, she did one interview with laura kuenssberg during the referendum campaign, almost under duress, in which she gave very qualified support for the remain campaign, but thatis support for the remain campaign, but that is the curiosity of theresa may. she betrays the referendum result as sort of 100% north korean style, everybody wants a hard brexit, and with these incredibly ha rd brexit, and with these

raise them a on now beginning to come on board so for example the former foreign secretary of boris johnson the former conservative party leader in duncan smith even the head of that right wing european research group jacob riis is talking about the possibility as long as those ten northern irish do you pm piece to prop up the government and also oppose the deal if they might have staying so it's trickling through however there are many others who are digging their heels in saying that they are not ever going to back this deal they had a meeting with the entry and apparently it got quite emotional and that would mean that theresa may would still have to get support from the labor party up to forty or fifty m.p.'s and at the moment that doesn't look likely because they think that she's going to the right why would people on the left wants the. did she do this to herself i mean she has been accused of being stubborn unwilling to listen to other ideas not reaching across the political or. the ultimate consequence in politics for her actions well there's certainly some truth in that and she's s

crime was then, and what happened when boris johnson became mayor? issue was that in the run—up to boris becoming the mayor, the numbers were not where they are now. we ended up with that campaign, there was a huge focus on knife crime, and we toured all 32 london boroughs endlessly. and one of the biggest issues was what was happening with young people at that time, what were they doing? there we re time, what were they doing? there were youth groups all around london who are spending time, particularly in that vulnerable period after school where some schools are checking kids out at two p:m., they have hours before mum comes home. a lot of the families that we met didn't have a father figure that had been around for many years —— 2pm. a lot of the youth groups were providing structure and stability for these people, and going over to places like the aylesbury estate, that was quite an inner—city housing estate where there were huge issues. we followed a double—decker bus that used to be between play stations and xbox is that kids could play on. but

and also former advisor to the then mayor borisjohnson and also former advisor to the then mayor boris johnson and and also former advisor to the then mayor borisjohnson and possible future prime minister, if the i newspapers to be believed. let us about brexit festival. this i newspaper has this very helpful diagram of what they are expecting to happened today —— first of all. i wa nt to to happened today —— first of all. i want to ask you about the significance of holding this final vote, we think it is a final vote, on the day we should have been leaving the eu. this was meant to be the end. this was meant to be the day signposted by the prime minister, post the referendum in 2016, that britain would leave. and, u nfortu nately, 2016, that britain would leave. and, unfortunately, that is not going to happen. i don't mean unfortunately as in we should leave or should leave, but there has been a commitment to the british public that this would happen on that date. it appears they could still happen in some way or another but it won't happen today. so this event that is meant to be brexit is r

take us to the front of the telegraph, boris johnson. the front of the telegraph, boris johnson.t when we saw the week of chaos where tony was an in situ witness in parliament last week where we had tuesday, various skittles fell, theresa may's deal knocked out. on wednesday, no deal knocked out. on wednesday, no deal apparently was taken off the table ina deal apparently was taken off the table in a non—binding vote and thursday, it was about would—be peoples vote go through and it didn't happen, leading to goodness knows what. this week promises more of the same. boris has set himself away from the pack. while we are hearing ripples, of which i am sure we will hear more in a while, of theresa may playing the long game, counting down the clock, getting people on site, whether you believe it is the cheque book coming out to the dup or anyone thinking anymore of this! boris johnson the dup or anyone thinking anymore of this! borisjohnson is standing alone, he says he is urging his fellow eurosceptics not to come in line with theresa may's wishes and not to vote for this deal and u

not boris johnson?k anybody at the extremities is going to be... can i get you out of a pickle by talking about his shorts to bring down the tone? michael gove's shorts? there is something about that leave—y male conservative middle age politicians wearing such short shorts. when borisjohnson is wearing such short shorts. when boris johnson is out wearing such short shorts. when borisjohnson is out in the public eye and wants to get his picture in the papers always wears us most ridiculous. there was a story about the not very good running gear that senior mps seem to use and lovely dogs. quite a nice french door. and all the newspapers. a lot of product place and for the front. we will go to them in a minute. the last brexit story is about a nation of pill poppers. antidepressants use doubling ina poppers. antidepressants use doubling in a decade and brexodus, surprise surprise may be a factor. might be a factor yes. the serious story is about that increasing the use of antidepressants and i was to the

on the other side of things, boris johnson, the approved.de of things, borisjohnson, the former foreign secretary, urging mps to reject it. boris johnson would be very happy to see the uk leave the european union without a deal at all, he does not like the prime minister's deal, he doesn't want to have to go back and renegotiate, and he is thinking that somehow the prime ministerjust goes to the eu summit on thursday and seeks to renegotiate the backstop again, that she will somehow get better terms. we have seen no indication of that, so now what we are looking for is to see whether or not the ten dup mps in northern ireland, if they come onside, that is what theresa may needs to get this deal through. if those ten mps come onside, the really right when people in her party, the hardcore brexiteers will likely follow and they will pass the deal. whether that happens before the summit or after it, that is the question, but the real powerplay is those ten mps. the dup is that group of northern irish mps that the prime minister relies on to hav

have a listen to one boris johnson. default. have a listen to one boris johnson.aw the uk must leave the eu on march the 29th. that is the law. the vote tonight is really symbolic. i hope parliament will vote not to ta ke hope parliament will vote not to take the no deal off the table. it's crazy to disable yourself as you go into a negotiation. it makes no sense at all. why would we shoot ourselves in the foot like that? you wa nt ourselves in the foot like that? you want to have maximum flexibility and after all it was in the manifesto of the conservative party to make sure we kept no deal as an option. no deal was better than a bad deal. how can we conceivably take no deal off the table? i certainly won't vote for it and they would be amazed at the prime minister votes for it. we will hear from the prime minister and prime ministers questions in about three quarters of an hour. interesting just to get a sense of her demeanour i guess because yesterday she looked a pretty forlorn character, struggling with her voice and with support seemingly draining away on th

i think the problem is we'll talk about the boris johnson type argument ina about the boris johnson typeen we come to the telegraph, but the theory is at least that she is not, that she's not actually have the guts in the end face down the eu and to be a bit tougher in the negotiations. a of people would disagree with that, but it's an argument put by people who don't like what she's done on the other thing is from a tactical point of view, like this week with her speech outside downing street, she seems to have alienated people who might have supported her, so people who want a softer brexit saying she's not come across to us, not tried to negotiate with us, not tried to negotiate with us, not tried to negotiate with us, not tried to engage is at all and so both on the brexit side, where they think ultimately she hasn't had the strength to stand up and to be robust a berth in the negotiations, and on the other side, on the remain side, there's not enough attempt to bring those people on board. the uk never had any cards on the table. this is what the erg doesn't want to deal with. we ot

it must be very tempting for boris johnson, obviously bargain?e minister, and so if she were to preannounce her resignation some time later this year, that would be something he would be rather looking forward to, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to support the prime minister's deal, because it is not very popular with the people who choose the next leader, which is the tory pa rty‘s members choose the next leader, which is the tory party's members in the country, so tory party's members in the country, so he has a bit of a problem on his hands. we heard yes, i don't know if you caught this, it was a whip speaking about this who said you can throw your captain overboard but you are still on the same ship in the same storm. how much damage could this do the government, if she were to step down? well, no she wouldn't step down straightaway, she would obviously announce shed was going to step down in the hope that some of the eurosceptics on her side would vote for her deal because they would know that what they regard as a true brexiteer woul

i like boris johnson a lot. [ inaudible question ] >> i've taken care better care of puerto rico than anyone ever. 29 billion to puerto rico, 29 billion to texas. puerto rico has been taken care of better by donald trump than by any living human being. and i think the people of puerto rico understand it. you do have a mayor of san juan that, frankly, doesn't know what she's doing and the governor, you've got to spend the money wisely. they don't know how to spend the money and they're not spending it wisely but i'm giving them more money than they've ever gotten. frankly, the people of puerto rico, i really have a great relationship with them. and when it comes time, they really do appreciate it. [ inaudible question ] >> obamacare has been an absolute disaster. i've asked john barasso, senator, joe cassidy, terrific health care person, rick scott and others to take a look, form a really great plan. we're winning the lawsuit to terminate obamacare in texas. we are winning the texas lawsuit. right now we're on the winning side. hopefully, we'll win the appellate decision. cost of obama

they do not want a hard brexit are to take over, someone like boris johnson.looks like we are going to have a long extension on article 50. joe: looking forward to lots more potentially on the brexit story. thank you, guy johnson. let's get a different perspective. joining us is the chief eurozone economist at pantheon macro economics. thank you for joining us. amid all of the chaos of brexit and the uncertainty when you look at the data in the u.k. it does not seem that terrible. some numbers are weak but that could be the same everywhere. what is the connection between the headlines in what is going on in the day-to-day economy? >> i think what is happening in the u.k. economy am a business investment and business confidence have taken a knock from brexit. consumers are kind of oblivious and interest rates are still low. even lower now. is low.ment an you have that two tier system going on. businesses are feeling the strain in terms of their long-run decisions. consumers are doing well. forcensumer is a powerful in the economy and that is keeping the economy

they would not be willing to live with boris johnson as prime minister.here must be a question. guy: is the conservative party going to split? party is inrvative serious risk of splitting. risk of bringing down its own government because of the brexiteers or the remainders are unhappy about the directions taking over brexit, that risk exists. given there is not any other alternative administration that is capable of being sustained, if the government were to lose a vote of no confidence, we would an election. vonnie: prime minister theresa may saying she would not like the idea of the public voting on her deal. it has to remain in parliament, and it is up to parliament to switch brexit options today. we got nowhere. maybe today saying ireland and the u.k. can work something out on the border bilaterally. is that how this comes to a conclusion? there is a piece of this that is broken off between ireland and britain? it would be difficult to imagine ireland willing to negotiate in bilateral negotiations with the u.k. given that the european union has stood

of course one person who would like to replace her is boris johnson.nd he has been speaking at the rather modestly titled boris on it brexit live event, organised by the daily telegraph. were you there and he say some of this of the people's they ofjubilation was hijacked by spineless pirates? these we re hijacked by spineless pirates? these were the opening remarks and what a scene setter it was in that sense. he knew how to get the subscriber is going. but it seems that really givenjacob going. but it seems that really given jacob rees going. but it seems that really givenjacob rees my was suggesting just today that he felt the insurance was becoming theresa may's deal or a new practicum of that was hanging in the air. so very much the dashboard just had to make love that he was not there yet, not to support the deal but he did acknowledge and some subscribers may have had a heart attack on hearing this that there will be a risk on no brexit. it would be an appreciable risk if you did not back the deal. effectively, he was very honest, very candid. l

boris johnson is one of the hopefuls.al state". he's voted against the deal twice, but when theresa may announced her departure plans this week, he changed his mind and said he'd vote for the deal after all. ardent brexiteer, michael gove, currently in the cabinet as environment secretary had a bruising experience in the last tory leadership race. injune 2016, he was the campaign manager for boris johnson to succeed david cameron — but withdrew his support on the morning mrjohnson was due to declare and threw his own hat in the ring instead. dominic raab is going for it. he was brexit secretary for 3 months — he also resigned because he didn't like what was being negotiated. on this show in may 2017 he told me: "the typical user of a food bank is not someone who's languishing in poverty, it's someone who has a cashflow problem episodically.". as brexit secretary, dominic raab admitted he did not realise "the full extent" of how much uk trade relies on the dover—calais crossing. jeremy hunt the foreign secretary wants the

another critic of the deal, boris johnson, former foreign secretary, in watson described boris johnsong that she would go smiling ear to year but no comment and soon after that, we had confirmation that he is going to back this deal. remember, he has been utterly opposed to it and said in the past, it is unacceptable. vicky young is in the lobby of the house of commons — is it possible, enough mps might change their position for the deal to get through? a difficult position for people like borisjohnson a difficult position for people like boris johnson have a difficult position for people like borisjohnson have been complete against the steel. he changes his mind. now what he would say is, what's going to happen in the house of commons right now. the mps on the other side of the argument have shown they have the numbers to control parliamentary business, which means that ultimately, they could change the law and that will change the focus of the minds of the tory party, i think it's a bit of both were many of them, the some say there is absolutely no way to change their mind and they a

-- on her brexit plan, with boris johnson from her own party skeptical, writing "the diet of capitulationms set to continue for at least two years." whether mr. johnson is right or not, it is not too soon to begin planning for a world in which the u.k. is free to enter into its own trade agreements. welcome now the man as possible for keeping the u.s. of how things are progressing, consul general for the united kingdom in new york and u.k. trade commissioner for north america. welcome back to bloomberg. good to have you here. i won't ask you to comment on boris johnson, as intriguing as that might be. where should we be looking to go brexit in terms of our trading relationship with your country? guest: the point i always make on this is that the u.k. has no more important trading partner in the world that the u.s.. in terms of single countries, you are our biggest export market. we are the biggest investors in each other's countries. so we start with an extremely integrated relationship, but we should be looking forward, think about where we are going to find the sectors that are going to

she has faced huge criticisms, resignations from prominent figures like boris johnson and david davismer and of course we we re plan last summer and of course we were here in july plan last summer and of course we were here injuly when she thought she had an approach that would see her through brexit but unfortunately that was not to be the case. goodness me, doesn't six months see mea goodness me, doesn't six months see me a long time in politics. with me is our political correspondent, nick eardley. six months feels like a lifetime in terms of events that have happened. and yet we're still not at a resolution of this brexit situation. we are still not out of the eu and still not 100% certain when we will be and on what terms, if any? that's absolutely right and the other uncertainty is whether the prime minister will even bother putting this deal back to mps because as things stand, as cabinet ministers are acknowledging today, it looks highly unlikely she would get that deal through, i suspect that meeting at chequers, due to start now, will involve some discussion of whether those

unacceptable and i remember you know the famous the famous concept of boris johnson which introduced the six years ago about the death carrot when you have something wrong you know on the negotiations that's exactly what boris johnson said you were you have to throw the dead get to the table and then everybody was going to talk about the dead cat so basically it looks like the souls agree you know the story about the embassy about me it looks like i did that scared story where you know certain stories were put to the table you know to to divert their attention from the results of the investigations which is different differently definitely is classified yeah i'm a final question i think it directly relates to the point you just made maybe pretty much discovered it actually and i'm sorry to say what might be another that kept you away because you know the u.k. media claim that the kremlin is infiltrating the british establishment through the imperial orthodox palestine society how do you respond to that. well basically it's another great story because. their society was this they are

boris johnson has just started speaking...admirably honest advice, this backstop doesn't just admirably honest advice, this backstop doesn'tjust divide our country in fundamental ways, it ties our hands for the future and it sets us on our hands for the future and it sets usona our hands for the future and it sets us on a path to a subordinate relationship with the eu, which is still, despite what we were told yesterday, clearly based on the customs union and on large parts of the single market. i give way, with pleasure. i am grateful to the right honourable gentleman for allowing me to intervene. it gives me an opportunity to remind him of the many opportunities that he took during the eu referendum campaign to assert that this country was going to take back control of its border, its borders. may i ask the right honourable gentleman, has he ever visited south armagh? how does the right honourable gentleman, with the greatest respect, think he is going to take back control of the border without the backstop arrangement?” am

the early favourites, according to the bookies, are boris johnson and the michael gove, the two peopleaign. ithink two people who looted the leave campaign. i think we need, two people who looted the leave campaign. ithink we need, speaking asa campaign. ithink we need, speaking as a conservative, i think part of the mistake that happened last time when theresa may was chosen, it was a very fast coronation. the tory party thought she was at the moses of that moment and it turned out that when the general election came, she wasn't up to campaigning. what the conservative party needs to avoid, if it didn't have this pressing timetable, is a proper contest where we test all the candidates. i think if it we had that testing process, both the big negatives of michael gove and boris johnson would stop them becoming leader. the tories really need a candidate who can unify them and unify the nation afterwards. it is not clear to me, although i am open to be persuaded otherwise, that boris or michael gove can do that, and so you are looking at a candidate like jeremy hunt or candied —— sajid ja

about what reason they said that brics it could be delayed it could possibly never happen somewhat boris johnson saying quite happy for that to be a no deal breck's it so to just as they say crash out of the e.u. altogether others say no there is too much risk for business and for where the u.k. economy is going to go one of the people who could well support dale is the former secretary david davis now that would be very interesting to see secretary number one say he was secretary number one he left because he couldn't support had dale he didn't feel happy with the way in which the e.u. was negotiating and was particularly unhappy about this. the so-called backstop so he has indicated he may well support today and also another twenty two conservative m.p.'s who voted against a deal back in january also saying that they will be supporting a deal tonight i thought is interesting which is why we can say that it doesn't have to feet will be anything like as big as it was back in january but it will still be a defeat because we know that the labor party on the whole i'm going to fight against ok alex

boris johnson said he would support the deal, behind closed doors. dup, the small northern irish party that props up a government, came out and said no, we will not support the deal because it threatens the united kingdom. suddenly these nonbinding votes became more important. parliament's verdict is that there is no majority for anyone proposal. one they came close is to remain in the customs union. it does look like it might become the starting point for more negotiations between lawmakers who will come back monday and have another go. shery: i feel like a broken record every time asking you, where do we go from here, where do we go from now? will we get a longer extension? ama: where we go from here is certainly that parliament will come back monday, take the options that were voted on last night, whittle them down to a for -- down to a short list. probably presented with a softer brexit. if theresa may agrees, which is not a foregone conclusion, she can go back to the european union and say my parliament wants a softer brexit, accustomed union --

theresa may in return for backing her brexit deal, next to a piece by once leadership hopeful boris johnson

may an ounce she would step down and that helps with tories, and that helps with tories, a cop boris johnsonlife much harderfor johnson on board. but it makes life much harder for labour mps who you might call brexit curious you are prepared to think about voting for the deal because they do make the activists are saying are you prepared to vote for theresa may's brexit and now they are being asked to write a blank check, are you prepared to vote for borisjohnson‘s brexit and those are the brexit that lots of labour mps are not happy about. they do not know who the next tory leader will be. any promise that theresa may has made are likely to be ripped up by her successor. what about the dup? how do you read their possession? it seems to be tough and uncompromising. is there any way they could be persuaded now oi’ any way they could be persuaded now or the near future to come on any way they could be persuaded now or the nearfuture to come on board? there is an enduring idea that the dup was getting ready to climb down and about once a week we are told this is going to be the moment that you

boris johnson has been referred to in the enquiry process. full report of the enquiry into boris johnson for example. how expensive is this problem in the conservative party? | is this problem in the conservative party? i do not believe it is as serious in the conservative party as anti—semitism in the labour party, but the conservative party should be doing the right thing because islamophobia is wrong, and secondly, it is politically damaging because it is politically damaging because it alienates voters, notjust muslim voters but all kinds of voters who believe that racism and religious bigotry have no place in our political parties. what would you like to visit me and the party chairman, those in responsible positions, what could be do? —— back but would you like do?” positions, what could be do? —— back but would you like do? i would like to commission a lawyer into a confidential enquiry into how parties have handled the case in the past, and secondly, make recommendations as to help the party should treat these issues in the future. th

would you be happy to see boris seeext prime minister by -- boris johnson as next prime minister?re not there yet, but i believe it should be a brexiteer, someone who believes in the project and has an optimistic view about our post-brexit future. there are a number of euro skeptic candidates that i believe will stand with boris. obviously he is a favorite. guy: boris johnson has indicated in a piece in "the telegraph" that he will support theresa may's deal. willany within the erg still not support theresa may's deal, do you think? guest: i guess we won't know until we have the vote. i would have thought this probably -- i would have thought there's probably about 20, and mp's, won'tch is 10 support the agreement as it stands because of its threat to the union. guy: what do you make of the idea of splitting the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration, and having just a vote on the withdrawal agreement tomorrow? well, it's maybe one way of getting around the constraints that the speaker has placed on bringing back the withdrawal agreement. however, it won't change the w

boris johnson i think why are you not getting on board?n i think is doing all right, he is whipping up a kind of sentiment you would expect from daily telegraph readers and perhaps people who will vote in the next conservative leader. there is the prospect that this will drag on, and many viewers may find it unpalatable the prospect of more european elections, us having to spend £100 million on european elections three years after we have had a referendum saying we are leaving. staying with the times, new zealand making the front page of this paper as well. and the personal stories coming out 110w. and the personal stories coming out now. a wonderful story on the front page about a father caught up in this atrocity. he went to the ground to protect his little son, i think he is two years old, there is a picture of him and a picture of him thanking his daddy. he protected him from a hail of bullets, took the bullets himself. the father is now in hospital, hopefully recovering, but the hospital are saying it will bea but the hospital are say

vote for her deal tomorrow so she was able to get some of the tory rebels on her side for example boris johnson who has smashed the deal over the past few months but there are still questions if the numbers can add up in her favor tomorrow because she does not have the northern irish do you on board yet and also she would need some labor votes and what we've been hearing today from m.p.'s is everything but sure that this deal will make it through tomorrow well exactly i mean is this the silver bullet is this the way out of this did log because as you've been reporting theresa may try to sweeten the deal by promising to step down if lawmakers through her agreement but what happens if her deal falls through. well the default option is still that the u.k. leaves the european union on april twelfth without a deal so one thing that could happen is that lawmakers are trying to ask for a long extension a really long one and then they are trying to find a way forward in the next month or so but the other thing is that it could come to a no deal scenario and lawmakers here today a field full of that and

the former foreign secretary boris johnson way around. foreign secretary borisjohnson is a regular columnist in the daily telegraph, rebecca, and there are many within the conservative party looking at her as leader, and some would say the way she leads, i.e. the fact that she does not get her party on board with her ideas, the deal, that shows she is a weak leader. so, i think the key thing here is actually what he said, which is that there has not been this long consultation process on what the future of britain is, and i rememberway back after the referendum, as well, having a conversation with somebody from germany and the guy said to me well, now this is an opportunity for you to look at the future of britain and what britain actually is as a global player, and that conversation is never really been had an i think had the leadership being there to have that conversation, we were probably be in a very different position now. of course, business we touched on the exasperation, the guardian looks about and many others look at that as we

residence checkers west of london among those attending the meeting are former foreign minister boris johnson who's been a vocal critic of may's policies of course that cabinet ministers plan to pressure me to resign come ahead of a critical week for break the decision making in parliament. all right let's get some more on this and for that we're joined by mohsin is in london so very good terisa may is now holding crisis talks again with members of her own party and among them are ministers who reportedly want to oust her so just how imminent is the threat to her leadership. threesome a's authority is really draining by the day by the hour almost we know that even backbenchers from her own party have said there is no way forward she called at the same time everybody knows how complicated this is because the clock is ticking there isn't much time the braggs a deal needs to be paul's but paul amended it's not a new solution a new consensus needs to be found a new way forward to change prime minister at such a crucial point in time is an incredibly dangerous as well so people will be also in the

they are now on board with her deal that they are going to support it and vote yes for example boris johnson who has really smashed a deal for months and months but the question is are others going to come on board because that is definitely not enough and for example the northern irish do you peter ally they have already said that they are not going to support the deal and most of the labor m.p.'s won't won't support it either so it really looks very unlikely at this point that she is going to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament tomorrow and then what happens if this deal is rejected. well the default option is still that the u.k. leaves the european union without a deal on april twelfth the so-called brics a day chaotic breck said i mean the u.k. could potentially ask for a longer extension so this could go on for months and months but they are trying to find a way forward but at the moment m.p.'s here are worried that a no deal scenario becomes more and more likely we've been hearing members of parliament worrying about that today and an internal cabinet report showed exactly

reportedly, boris johnson is deal. isn't that interesting.g this all play out in westminister is sam coates — the deputy political editor at the times + katy balls, the spectator‘s political correspondent. i have just seen one of your tweets suggesting that inner circle, the cabinets, didn't know about the announcement until she made it. yesterday morning, the cabinet didn't know she was going to be addressing the 1922 committee. if they had done, perhaps they would have asked her. they may have asked her about her future. they were competing in the dark about this afternoon forced i think members of herinner afternoon forced i think members of her inner circle, her allies knew from about lunchtime that this statement was going to be made, one of them thought it was quite emotional. jacob rees—mogg, i saw him and asked him if he felt emotional and he replied that he didn't do public displays of emotion or affection. it has been quite well telegraphed that this would come, the question now is the effect. does it bring the 115 people who voted

yes like former foreign secretary boris johnson it was just addressed the debate in westminster as we come to the final stages it is absolutely vital that we retain our freedom of maneuver and we do want that for rule out a deal a delay would achieve nothing except to compound the uncertainties of business now is the time to speak up to the hague because what we are keeping the colony in the world the second biggest military power in nato by many counts the most influential cultural and intellectual force in europe and you know a to accept what i believe would be a humiliation of the subordination about what it meant. what about it from that he's voted against it let's go over this now with a w. correspondents barbara faisal in the london not so much hoffman instructs but welcome both of barbara is there any chance of this deal going through. no there is no chance and if you have just listen to parsons i mean this is boris being bars doing his worst and he sort of gets his importance in the tory party from sort of running up against a reason may steal it again and again over and over

and also former advisor to the then mayor borisjohnson and also former advisor to the then mayor boris johnsone prime minister, if the i newspapers to be believed. let us about brexit festival. this i newspaper has this very helpful diagram of what they are expecting to happened today —— first of all. i wa nt to to happened today —— first of all. i want to ask you about the significance of holding this final vote, we think it is a final vote, on the day we should have been leaving the eu. this was meant to be the end. this was meant to be the day signposted by the prime minister, post the referendum in 2016, that britain would leave. and, u nfortu nately, 2016, that britain would leave. and, unfortunately, that is not going to happen. i don't mean unfortunately as in we should leave or should leave, but there has been a commitment to the british public that this would happen on that date. it appears they could still happen in some way or another but it won't happen today. so this event that

the breaks that hotline us a vote going to vote against that they have come around people like boris johnson the former foreign secretary even has bashed this deal for months he is now saying he could back the deal but coalition partner the northern irish d.-u. pete just came out with a statement saying they are not going to support her deal in parliament if she were to bring it back this upcoming friday so with that she won't have the votes and her deal is pretty much that her withdrawal agreement the question is even if she will bring it in front of parliament for a third time if she knows that she is going to face another humiliation there and as we speak british m.p.'s are voting on other boards options i mean what what's the meaning of those options at this point are they meaningless or are they all that's left to push briggs and forward. well it's definitely a plan b. at this point because if may's deal doesn't get through paul amend which very very very likely right now and then those alternative options could come into play by the basically what happened now is that palm and took ove

i hear a great deal of noise about boris johnson.leadership because he needs to get through the first round. he needs to get through the mps round before he would even go to a vote conservative party members. i think he is now seen, albeit he has a high recognition factor, he is seen as somebody who is very controversial, very marmite. and the appeal that he had when he was london mayor, that is really quite a long time ago. i just don‘t see him getting through that first round. it is a very tactical game this. jeremy hunt gave as talk to the evening standard talking about compassionate conservatives. even before she made the announcement of the 1922 committee and flare is photographed with amber rudd having breakfast, tonnes of to wag. and will, as i say, the conservative party has made a sport of this. i can‘t remember how many leadership elections i have observed closely over the years. i think the reality, ultimately, the candidate most likely to win will have to be a brexiteer, not necessarily a hard brexiteer, but certainly som
