what is borisjohnson trying to achieve? i think he is trying to achieve?o strengthen the position that he thinks is the right position to be going into the negotiations with. i think it is fairly well known that there is a certain amount of division within the cabinet on what the relationship to wean the uk and the european union should look like a post—brexit. —— between the uk. on the one hand you have philip hammond and some powerful allies, such asjohnny hayward, the cabinet secretary, the treasury. they would all like our relationship post—brexit to be as close as possible to our relationship now. for those on the leave side, i think primarily boris, but also some other people within the cabinet, that is unacceptable. they want the transition arrangements to last no longer than two years. after that they don't want britain to continue to pay to be within the single market and they don't want britain to be subject to the european court ofjustice or to to be subject to the european court of justice or to have to be subject to the european court ofjustic

borisjohnson is a very good at of that.ee 110w those lines. it's intriguing to see now what kind of vision and what kind of language the prime minister usesin kind of language the prime minister uses in the big speech she gives in florence in italy at the end of the week. and the big question is, how much is boris johnson week. and the big question is, how much is borisjohnson involved in that speech itself? we know he and michael gove are trying to put forward their vision of brexit. michael gove are trying to put forward their vision of brexitlj know boris johnson forward their vision of brexitlj know borisjohnson has seen a draft of the florence speech. we don't know, given what he said yesterday, does that change anything in the d raft by does that change anything in the draft by the time it is delivered on friday? perhaps you will never know that because we will only hear the actual speech. we also know one of the motivations for boris johnson's intervention is the whole issue of money is following brexit. he says he d

the fact irritated by this intervention from borisjohnson. do it consistently speaks to the political reality the prime minister finds herself in. what is striking about this latest intervention is not just the about this latest intervention is notjust the remarks about brexit where he went beyond what the prime minister had said in her speech in florence but he meandered once again onto territory way beyond the brief ofa onto territory way beyond the brief of a foreign secretary, talking about student debt for those graduating from university and talking about public sector pay as well. the simple reality at this stage right given the prime minister's precarious political reality, is their israeli she can do that she will be very aware that we re that she will be very aware that were she to fire him, which would be the fate of someone in his role normally, if they were too straight in this kind of way consistently, she would have the citrus, popular and well—known opponent perched behind her on the conservative backbenchers. —— a the citrus.

philip hammond is a soft grexit man, borisjohnson wants a ha rd grexit man, borisjohnson wants a hardat odds. —— brexit. the fight between chancellor hammond and boris johnson, brexit. the fight between chancellor hammond and borisjohnson, allegedly boris and his camp claimed that had he not exerted the kind of pressure that he did leading up to the friends speech, theresa may would have announced a five—year transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. —— france. transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. -- france. we knew the cabinet and the party were split over the referendum, the eu. we have no night for some time. are they unable to bury their differences and act like grown—ups? the average person reading these front pages would think, are a bunch of babies? it is infantile. the clock is ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. that deal needs to really be struck by next autumn so that it can be approved with the various bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu memberon the bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu member on the 29th of

borisjohnson, concrete, solid planning, doesn't it?g, doesn't it? borisjohnson, to give him his due, has said he wants that period to last no longer than two years. i say the transition period at all is u na cce pta ble say the transition period at all is unacceptable and we must be prepared to get out now. far from strengthening the uk's and in brexit negotiations, the prime minister's speech in florence gave it away. the message she sent was that the uk does not want to leave the european union in anything but name. questioning theresa may's commitment to leave the european union. he also returns to another ukip staple, the issue of immigration. he said immigration is harming our culture and traditional ways, and the prime minister's lack of commitment to perhaps introduce a points system was questionable. across the uk people see their community is changing. and they have little or no voice in the way that those communities are being shaped, the environment they live in and the services provided to them. they are rarely consulted an

ahead of the conservative party conference tomorrow, borisjohnson again intervenes in the brexit debate. laying out his four redlines that theresa may mustn't cross teachers and nurses in england and wales could have the 1% cap on their pay rises lifted next year. the treasury admits it needs to be more flexible where there are skill shortages. the archbishop of canterbury has criticised the way the bbc handled sexual abuse byjimmy savile. the most serious animal cruelty offences could soon be punished with up to five years in jail instead of six months. and at 12.30 click looks at all things battery, from how to keep your smartphone charged to the mountain storing energy in lakes. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. first, our main story. on the eve of the conservative party conference, theresa may is coming under fresh pressure over brexit. once again the foreign secretary borisjohnson has intervened in the debate setting out his brexit redlines in a newspaper article, including his view that the transition period mustn't last a second longer than two years. hardline brexiteers ha

a huge amount of criticism for borisjohnson.nson, the uk will benefit from. that figure was widely discredited. there is a bbc piece that looks at the numbers. you can see that online, see 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. business leaders have expressed the concern about the pace of the talks. a business group said the lack of progress could jeopardise an orderly exit for britain. meanwhile 100 companies have signed a letter to negotiators stressing the importance of a great transition deal soon. the government in bangladesh will build a camp to accommodate a00,000 rohingya muslims who have fled their homes in the are because of a military crackdown. the authorities also say they'll impose restrictions on their movement, to stop the refugees settling in other parts of the country. the un secretary—general has

borisjohnson that divided the closest of colleagues.lleagues. borisjohnson made the case for brexit then... is it not time we took back control? and he has restated it right now and repeated this. it is perfectly true and verifiable, that there is slightly more than £350 million a week that we do not control. the head of the uk statistics authority said today this was a clear misuse of official statistics, something that has angered borisjohnson. but some cabinet colleagues are not thrilled with the foreign secretary either. i do not want him managing the brexit process. we have to may managing it. she is driving the car andl managing it. she is driving the car and i want to make sure we help her do that. said this is back-seat driving? yes. boris johnson's article asked for a bold brexit, leading to cabinet splits and an attempt to undermine the premiership, it was claimed. political opponents say he should be sacked. it is a terrible situation and puts theresa may in a impossible situation. it is like a school under control with a hea

borisjohnson then that speech for a little while.sjohnson then appears with this extensive article, 4,000 words long. it's about as long as my undergraduate dissertation! huge rewards as a newspaper article. someone asked me on social media what the conventional length for a politician boss mike article was, and it tends to be 300 500 words. little column or box. strikingly, it doesn't —— it wasn'tjust little column or box. strikingly, it doesn't —— it wasn't just about brexit, it read like a boris ma nifesto. brexit, it read like a boris manifesto. there are things about infrastructure, cutting taxes, education reform. it didn'tjust deal with the very bold question of what sort of brexit it's going to be. some of the problems, as he sees them, wouldn't necessarily find a solution on brexit. they're com pletely solution on brexit. they're completely detached as separate areas of policy. speaking to conservative mps yesterday, some solid as a naked leadership bid, but it was totally disloyal. 0thers, including remainers, who welcomes

that was a dissertation from borisjohnson a much..... that was a dissertation from borisjohnson a couple of weeks ago. what is striking about the interview he gave in the sun today, he had done that interview and was very struck by how easy it was to get borisjohnson to say vaguely physically awkward things again for the prime minister. his supporters support him and his detractors don't. what has happened over last year is that his star has faded a little amongst his contemporaries and his peers and the broader conservative faithful but if you look at some survey evidence of conservative members, imperfect as it is, and he is still seen as a potential voice of the future, not least because of its capacity to cut through and which part of the conservatives might not. plenty interpreted that intervention a couple of weeks ago not so much an intervention to topple the prime minister but more to remind his conservative audience that he is still very much there. if they were remanded a couple of weeks ago in bolton, he has underlined it to

borisjohnson's never said never to making a payment.alk at senior levels in whitehall the divorce payment will have to begin with 4. about £40 billion to £45 billion. many are saying that's roughly the amount we pay to borrow a year in the uk. if you can get brussels to break the logjam of the talks, get brussels to talk now about the future trading relationship, maybe it will worth definitively leaving brussels, getting a future trading relationship. if you have to pay the equivalent of a year's borrowing to do that, that, to them, is not a bad deal. they will possibly be whispering into boris johnson's ear that's maybe something he should think about. nick, thank you. with me now are the lbc presenter ian dale and jenni russell, who writes for the times, and the former conservative minister dr dan poulter who supported borisjohnson in the leadership election last year. can i start with you, dan. in a way, it's very odd, this. a foreign secretary writes about international affairs in a newspaper. why's there a fuss? there shouldn't be

borisjohnson has made sure brexit is top of the agenda on day one.nterview with the sun newspaper, he sets out for conditions for britain's exit from the eu. the transition period after march 2019 should not be a second longer than two years. the uk should not accept any new rulings from brussels during that time. no payment should be made for access to the single market and there should be no shadowing of the eu after brexit. mimicking eu rules to ensure free trade. in florence last week, the prime minister set out the government's position. the foreign secretary does not contradict what she said but goes further in parts. ministers insist the government is united. what i want from the brexit talks and what borisjohnson wants and all of us around the cabinet table want is the best possible deal for britain that secures our future outside the eu and keeps a close relationship with our current european partners. meanwhile the scottish leader ruth davidson has criticised what she calls overoptimism about brexit which sells people short on the complicat

can any deal but beached without borisjohnson? to turn around and sack him. i think that would make them feel better for at least five minutes. they would be really delighted, these many people who would stand is on his political grave, but from her point of view, it would be a terrible weakness. she had this astute idea of putting the three brexiteers in the three brexit ministries, the three very senior posts, and now she has to use them, and she has not been using boris properly. she has, funnily enough, got to bring him closer to her, not chuck him off the sledge and think that the people have to will be satisfied by feeding on the corpse of borisjohnson satisfied by feeding on the corpse of boris johnson — satisfied by feeding on the corpse of borisjohnson — they won't be, they will come for her. if she does that, the whole thing will fall to bits. do you think you would prefer david davis's or liam fox's job? bits. do you think you would prefer david davis's or liam fox'sjob?|j would be surprised if he was thinking in those

all—out war between borisjohnson conference.etween boris johnson and philip conference. all—out war between borisjohnson and philip hammond according to the daily mail on sunday. they claim there is a feud following theresa may? speech yesterday. the sunday times also leading with the dispute amongst senior tory ministers and leadership plot. fractures of the top of the conservative party also appear on the front of the sunday telegraph which focuses on borisjohnson, saying he is against the uk adopting any new eu rules and regulations after march 200019. and the foreign secretary also pitching —— featuring on the front of the sunday express, giving him credit of getting the uk out of the eu as planned and avoiding a cliff edge exit. a lot of brexit! it is like game of thrones, that show of unity that we had before the fraud speech made by theresa may it seems all to have been an illusion. we are under no illusion that she's not trying to hold it together, she is, we know that. but is it to be believed, is this the feud that the

as we know borisjohnson steps out ofa carand as we know borisjohnson steps out of a car and people askitive vision for brexit. and it reads like his conference speech. i think he drafted it as his conference speech and then realised that theresa may is going to make an important speech in florence this week, on friday. he wanted to influence her position in that speech, was annoyed that i think they held the cabinet committee without him while he was in anguilla dealing with a hurricane. he wanted to make a speech but wasn't allowed to make a speech but wasn't allowed to buy number ten and decided to publish it in the telegraph anyway. he sounds frustrated. the fact he has raised yet again the £350 million emblazoned on the side of the leave bus that many of us spent many weeks travelling around on during the referendum. he got into trouble over that statistic and he is against the other he is again! it was a very foolish move to mention that number again. he didn't need to do that. it's pure red rag to the remainer balls. everybody knows it isn't true. he has been told off by the head

borisjohnson about that speech a little while.ohnson appears with an extensive article, a000 words long. absolutely huge for what is a newspaper article. somebody asked me on social media the conventional length of a politician's article, they tend to be 500 words long. little column or box. this was much more than that and strikingly not just about brexit. it read like a boris manifesto. i am glad you brought it up. there are things about infrastructure. education reform. it did notjust deal with the bold question and important question of what sort of brexit it will be. quite, and some of the problems as he sees them would not necessarily find a solution in brexit. completely detached areas of policy. speaking to conservative mps yesterday, some saw it as a leadership bid and thought it disloyal. 0thers, leadership bid and thought it disloyal. others, including those wanting to remain, welcomed the kind of clarity of a positive vision and contrasted it with what they see as the prime minister's weakness in articulating that kind

against that, we have figures like borisjohnson who are have figures like borisjohnson who a re clearlyre clearly deeply uneasy about the thought that we could carry on paying significant amounts of cash into the eu, to embark secure access toa into the eu, to embark secure access to a single market and are deeply uneasy that the transitional period really could go on considerable number of years. there was support from stands from figures like the former cabinet ministerjohn redwood. many of us don't think there was an more or political or legal reason to go on paying them once we have left. indeed, it would be illegal to go on paying them once we have left. and i find it very odd how many people there are around government, in official circles and advising government who seem to think that the british people want to pay a lot of money to the eu after we have resigned. so you accept... they just don't, so you accept... theyjust don't, i can assure you. why this matters particularly because of the timing is because we're on the eu goal the speech which theresa may hopes will break the d

in an interview with the sun, borisjohnson lays out four red lines for brexit. the transition period after march 2019 should not be a second longer than two years. the uk should not accept any new rulings from brussels during that time. no payments should be made for access to the single market. and there should be no shadowing of the eu after brexit, mimicking eu rules to ensure free trade. let us be creative as well as practical... last week in florence, theresa may tried to move eu negotiations forward with a speech suggesting compromises in some areas. mrjohnson doesn't contradict her, but does go further than agreed government policy. what i want from the brexit talks and what borisjohnson wants from the brexit talks and indeed all of us around the cabinet table want, is the best possible deal for britain. that secures our future outside the european union and keeps a close relationship with our current european partners. to the point where we cannot... boris, just one question,... some conservatives don't go along with borisjohnson‘s assertion that brexit

borisjohnson boris johnson says theresa borisjohnson says theresa may is the boss and the driver of theen you have the prime minister having to assert she is in the driving seat and leading from the driving seat and leading from the front it does not give the impression of a government going in the same direction with great confidence. there are undoubtedly huge tensions and rivalries within the cabinet on rare brexit goes next, that's been apparent for months and i think it's also fairly clear theresa may is i think a bit exasperated with foreign. she said on the plane during the flight over that boris is boris when asked about his personal manifesto for brexit that he published over the weekend. there are currently tensions there. there are currently tensions there. the prime minister is going to seek to seize the initiative during the visit but also crucially on friday during the speech in florence which we all expect her to be the moment where she sees the transition going, that's the big question, what sort of transitional arrangement the uk is going to seek. if we save for the sak

borisjohnson.lleague julian worricker asked yogita about the latest reaction from donald trump. he's called it a rogue nation but also, importantly, said that south korea is finding out that the policy of appeasement will not work with north korea. in his words, he says they understand only one thing, suggesting a stronger response is required. south korea for a long time has said they want a diplomatic solution to this situation. donald trump says now that is not possible and indicates that perhaps a stronger response is required. we know that top national security advisers of the us and south korea have spoken to each other and discussed military measures that can be taken, but significantly donald trump has said the test today is an embarrassment for china, which has tried to help but with little success. china is a key player in the region, north korea's top trading partner and many people thought that china implementing sanctions could perhaps pressure north korea to come to the table for dial

it is not one of borisjohnson's columns, he has been granted two pages of space. night reading for me! this is a huge intervention by boris johnson. ahead of what was supposed to be theresa may's big speech on brexit next friday in florence, child she was going to make a big pitch and brexit to be on the front foot and get negotiations going with brussels, there has been a deadlock. in six days ahead of that, boris johnson is setting out his stall. quite a big intervention overall and he goes back to restating quite strongly the case for brexit and revisiting a lot of the arguments we saw in the referendum. 0n the specifics, that are key quotes i think will raise eyebrows. we have some of those here. firstly, he says... this is talking about access to the european single market. that figure might be familiar to followers of the referendum campaign. and he goes on to say best. so, this is a surprising mention here of that £350 million figure because that had been in the eyes of many widely discredited, and many eyes of many widely discredited, and ma ny fellow eyes

was essential pa rt of which borisjohnson was essential part of, with reference to spending on the nhs he is saying that we will take that £350 million for the nhs and all the remainers said, this is completely wrong, you should withdraw that and take it off the bus. now he is saying it is right and we are going to do it. it is interesting because his blueprint differs markedly from that of philip hammond and other cabinet ministers. he is setting out his vision for a ha rd he is setting out his vision for a hard brexit, at a time which is difficult for theresa may. there are differences you can point out. he said no payments into the eu budget which david davis and philip hammond had been at pains not to rule that out. specific things in the future. even david davis, if you ask him will we still pay into the eu budget after 2019 he will say something like, the eu budget after 2019 he will say something like, that user of large payments to the eu is over, but that is not saying nothing. he is definitively saying nothing, that puts water between him and other members of the cabinets. th

leadership rumours, will it be borisjohnson, aside.ours, will it be borisjohnson, amber rudd. none of that's gone away. it as short—term fix. the only reason the conservative parties are not mounting a leadership challenge is because they could lose a general election and jeremy corbyn could be prime minister. that's the sole reason there's no challenge against theresa may. the sunday telegraph has a neat summary of the various impacts we've already seen in these negotiations. macron talking about more progress. illustrating there is another side though this negotiation. moody's has downgraded britain's credit rating. it had an aaa britain's credit rating. it had an aa a credit rating and it has been downgraded twice since then. this has very real world impacts. makes it more expensive for britain to borrow on international markets. more expensive for the government. these are real impacts of a brexit that hasn't happened yet and will play out in all of our lives. in a pro—brexit paper, the sunday telegraph, talking about the divorce b

three stories about borisjohnson. boris and theresa may in brexit bill showdown.tary was going to say that the £30 billion is too much?” imagine none of his loquacious associates have told him that. he has a victorian guard of sycophants. i first encountered him more than 30 years ago at the oxford union giving a speech that was highly amusing but even thenl a speech that was highly amusing but even then i thought it was bombastic, self—indulgent and clownish. those are the adjectives i would still apply to him and if he we re would still apply to him and if he were to write an autobiography, it would be the ego has landed, it's all about him and an unsettled attempt to ask —— oust theresa may from power. the fact he has brought up from power. the fact he has brought up this wretched figure of £350 million again, in contradiction to the office of national statistics strikes me as idiotic. it is one of the things that inflamed the remain voters, that he seems to have bent the statistics to propagate a false view of what of was going to happen with the money. amber

that's why borisjohnson's intervention matters, notjust because of his own ambitions, but because it of brexit the country signs up to. i don't want him managing the brexit process. what we've got is theresa may managing that process. she's driving the car, to continue the allegory, and i'm going to make sure that, as far as i'm concerned and the rest of the cabinet are concerned, we help her do that. this is a difficult moment. so this is back—seat driving? yes, you could call it back—seat driving, absolutely. boris johnson, seen here campaigning earlier this year, said in his article that the uk had a glorious future and should not pay for access to european markets after brexit. he also offered views on the education system, funding for the health service and tax. it's led political opponents to say he should be sacked. it's a terrible situation, and it puts theresa may in an impossible position. ijust don't understand why she hasn't fired him. it's like a school that is completely out of control, and the headteacher‘s sitting in her office paralysed and impotent. the prime minist

"that's more like it, mrs may," is the verdict in the sunday express — it reports the pm will launch the change as part of a "policy blitz" to woo younger voters. the mail on sunday says she's gambling that the tuition fees changes will head off a tory coup but the paper calls it another "huge u—turn." and more on the conservatives in the sunday mirror, which claims the prominent pro—life tory mp, jacob rees—mogg, has admitted to benefiting financially from a firm which produces drugs to end pregnancies. the conservative party conference is getting under way tomorrow. the mail on sunday is where we begin. the prime minister gambles on tuition fees to head off tory coup. who is that really aimed at comedy tuition fees? horses bolting and stable doors. this is a test —— desperate attempt by the tories, who have obviously cottoned on to the fact thatjeremy corbyn g
