or a soft brexit. it's very clear if you end up with a hard brexit, in other words, no deal, then the uk is subject to whatever arrangements they have with larger would be the wto rules which for most goods means that you have to tarrif, going between the uk into european union, and more important your subject to new records are requirements -- an automobile that moves free would have to pay 10% duty and somewhere between one and $2000 to be reinspected just to move between the uk and the eu. you multiply that by every other scenario and then the real one to watch for in terms of judging how significant is the effect of brexit going to be, is what happens to the regulatory barriers around trade and services particularly financial services. in the absence of a soft brexit, that's where you were really going to see the due determination in growth and uk market. right now and put events with past 40 we get a particular financial service instrument at the insurance contract, particularly directive, approve

what i think is we are going to have brexit happens and not a norway-style brexit. it's not going to be a disaster ut eth go back to the 19508's, 1960's. it adds up to quite a lot. the gap widens and widens. and by 2030, we'll say, we are really quite full. i think it is that kind of scenario that is more likely and defense budgets, they are going to be tough. jennifer: adding on the economic trade side, the degree to which the growth is connected whether you get a hard or soft brexit. if you add up with nol deal, the u.k. is subject to whatever arrangements they have which would be the w.t.o. rules which means you have to both pay a tariff between the u.k. and into the european union and subject to regulatory requirement. an automobile would have to pay 10% duty and pay reinspection. and when you multiply that and then the real one to watch for in terms of jugging it is what happens to the regulatory barrier. because in the absence of a soft brexit, that's where you really going to see the minus in growth in the u.k. market. if you get a particular instrument and p

suddenly, some brexiteers have been asking whether their brexit dream is unravelling.tainly, the government's vision — one tied together by red lines that require us to be out of the single market and the customs union, is now in peril. and more significantly, this week may have given us the clearest idea yet as to what actual brexit will look like, as opposed to the government's desired one. it's all come down to our old friend, the irish border. having now explored the solutions as to how you can have brexit, with its requirement for a border without actually having a border, this week the government appears to have decided the best policy is simply to defer a decision. but, that has a knock on. it means we enter the world of the backstop — the agreement we reached in december as the fail—safe solution in the event that nothing else worked for ireland. the famous backstop was agreed back then after some fraught negotiations involving theresa may. she was a tough, smart, polite and friendly negotiator. we have had a meeting with the group of the european parliamentari

brexiteer mps seem immovable.d be seriously certifiable if they go for the idea of the customs partnership. it really would run against everything i know about government. mps doubtful about brexit want to steer a course close to the eu, for the sake of british business. ultimately, it's about getting the right deal in the national interest, something that means that we don't go backwards in northern ireland, but also that our manufacturers are able to conduct trade across borders without unnecessary barriers. tonight, there are signs borisjohnson may rather stay and fight for his vision of trade after brexit inside the cabinet. but brexiteers won't like any customs compromise. there is still a chance that parliament may demand britain stays inside the eu customs system, and brussels mayjust throw out the whole idea. brexit was always likely to lead to trouble in the cabinet, in parliament, and in brussels. theresa may surely can't have imagined it would be quite this tough. labour has sacked debbie abrahams as sh

it all means that brexiteers now fear a plot to thwart the whole brexit process, their opponents sayse, and the political temperature is rising. chris morris there. in a moment, we'll talk to our correspondent damian grammaticas in brussels, but first our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. norman, this is shaping up to be a real problem for the prime minister. reeta, tory brexiteers insists they are not threatening the prime minister, not holding a gun to her head, but it is absolutely clear they expect her to kill off this idea of a customs partnership, because they say it crosses all their red lines, breaks all mrs may's brexit pledges, they say it would mean, for example, still paying money into the eu, still coming under thejurisdiction paying money into the eu, still coming under the jurisdiction of the european core, not able to strike oui’ european core, not able to strike our own trade deals, and in fact, they say, remaining inside the single market. what is significant about their intervention today is that it about their intervention today is thati

brexit...eed to be loyal any more, we can just vote without consciences? you can enjoy a hypothetical speculation, i am not going tojoin you on that! because i think it is very, very important that we reach a practical settlement on customs and on everything else. you talk about that white paper, that's going to cover a range of issues. and there is a narrow landing strip but there is a landing strip where we will brexit and having a practical brexit... somebody like me, i was a remainer at the referendum but i think it's really important to get the best brexit. just a couple of sentences on windrush, the home office seems to be changing more than we might have realised when sajid javid came in, changing its definition of what was a faulty deportation, and maybe we are in for a completely new era now in the home office? i think it is genuinely too early to say. notjust since sajid javid took over but when amber rudd was there as well, they were investigating these cases which i think the home o

will this change how the prime minister does her brexit?panel is here to pick out the winners from the losers and tell us what it all means. expectation management is an ingenious thing. were conservatives really worried labour was going to paint london red? did labour themselves really think it possible? in the end, it didn't happen — and labourfailed to make the breakthrough it had been hoping for. now the blame game about who started the rumour it ever would. certainly, labour gained ground in the capital, just not enough to create good headlines. they also lost control of derby and nuneaton and bedworth. but gained plymouth. conservatives should probably stop congratulating themselves on holding on to their bastions of blue — kensington, wandsworth and westminster. they lost trafford, in the north west, but did pick up barnet — the anti antisemitism vote. arguably, the night was won by the lib dems and the greens — who had their best local result in history. and it was definitely lost by ukip. their voters — lets just say — ‘went back t

brexit.inisters are but what a lot of mps and ministers a re clear but what a lot of mps and ministers are clearon, but what a lot of mps and ministers are clear on, two years after the referendum is the amount of progress the government is not making an brexit. the prime minister is still struggling to get together a plan for a customs relationship. what are the options? well, and interlinked customs partnership which the brexiteers absolutely hate, or a clea n b rea k brexiteers absolutely hate, or a clean break and tracking goods across frontiers using high technology and a systems experts say would take years to set up. that is also the idea parliament is most likely to regret, so what's an brexit is clear is theresa may may be leaning towards that partnership idea which could lead to some kind of tory civil war. meanwhile, brussels is rejecting all of these ideas out of hand. a lot of tough negotiation ahead but right now the prime minister is busy negotiating with her own side. another

we are reaching a critical stage in brexit, not only last night's defeat but tomorrow the brexit subcommitteesleeping children were murdered after being trapped in their bedrooms when their house was torched with petrol bombs in the dead of night — that's what a jury has been told at manchester crown court. the prosecution say the fatal attack resulted from a few with the victims'16—year—old brother. the prosecution say the fatal attack resulted from a feud with the victims'16—year—old brother. two men and a woman deny murder. 0livia, before you bring us up to date with what has been happening today, remind us of the background today, remind us of the background to this case. you might remember the upsetting story last december when a house fire tore through a terraced house fire tore through a terraced house in the walkden area of greater manchester. sleeping there were four children, demi pearson, brandon pearson, lacie pearson, they were unable to escape and all four of them died in the fire. their mother was also in that fire and was badly injured. michelle pearson has only just regained

. party, and there lies the secret to brexit.y get what michel barnier thinks, what is it going to be? because forget what michel barnier thinks, what is it going to be? because we have the brexiteers. they could actually trigger a no—confidence vote for may. but then what? they would like to topple may but to do what afterwards? then there is a eu summit injune and each time it is the same story, we need to comeup with some ideas and some planning order to bring the brexit talks further. it needs to be resolved by october, not march. because there is the whole process of ratification, which is long. theresa may came up with in a way the only proposition she could get on the table, was, can we have a second transition period and extend it to 2023, so that we can all agree? but i think it is really... the tory party has the key to this, because are they going to get rid of her? do they have a plan b? who else at the tory party and then general elections, probably. who is leading the tory party, the problem remains that they can't

another difficult day for theresa may on brexit. why?ing in a cabinet together to discuss what to do about the customs union. you can see the pressure she is under from both sides of this debate. we had this letter that the daily telegraph refers to about rees mogg and about 60 mp5 refers to about rees mogg and about 60 mps within her own party who are saying in effect that the idea of being in line to the customs union is as bad as being in the european union itself. they think it leaves britain with little room for manoeuvre. they say if you are doing that we could bring down the governed. at the same time, she has about a dozen hard—line remainers in the conservative party saying that if you don't do the customs union deal we would properly cited labour to do do you anyway. she is danty she does and dandy she doesn't. —— we will probably side with. she is probably going to be tended to keep the can a few weeks david elleray. it is one issue she knows could really do for her. absolutely. she has a very important meeting to date with th

a look at the times, and other brexit story. fear ofjeremy corbyn prompts tough eu line on brexit.g to protect the single market. they are concerned there could be a return of things like state subsidies. we have had a history of relatively left—wing policies in europe since the second world war. it says the eu fears, they fear that britain could still a competitive advantage. it looks like this would be a disadvantage to any kind of ongoing negotiations, but we hear it is because they fear that britain could do quite well if they subsidise their lot of the industries. it is a take, i guess. their lot of the industries. it is a take, iguess. it their lot of the industries. it is a take, i guess. it is quite good. it is quite a curious one. as you point out, it seems to be saying that the reason why they are insisting on the level playing field mechanism, part of the final agreement, the uk will guarantee to the eu that we will radically drop standards. that is predicated on the fact that there may or may not be a jeremy corbyn government at some point after we leave the european un

this is preposterous, what on earth has a so—called hard brexit, which is actuallyjust brexit, got tosults from yesterday? these were local elections, i don't think they have any impact on the brexit debate. do you not believe it is empowering for the brexiteers, people like boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg to say this is a clear sign people don't want the labour version of brexit, this is what it is about. that is what they are doing whether you think it is preposterous or not. they can do it all they like. the only protection and local elections is the theresa may is comfortable in her position for another three weeks —— the only projections. it would be just as absurd on the conservative side to claim some sort of mandate out of these elections as it would to claim a victory for anyone. nobody had a breakthrough here. british politics is rather stuck. this was none of the above. these elections were effectively a repeat of 2014 plus or minus a bit. right. if you go back to the mid—19 90s, owen has a bit of a problem. or 700 seats at these kind of elections. blair's opposition in t

brexiteer in the headline.way but then i remembered, he was mildly critical of the government's approach to the actual brexit negotiations. he said that they needed to basically go and hardline, he was opposed to the softly softly approach. i think it is interesting when you look at the sunday times rich list, which is the story is based from, it is this term self—made millionaires based from, it is this term self— made millionaires or billionaires. 21 billion. i think it is quite aspirational. it should be encouraging us all. i was listening today to someone saying to do well, you have to choose a really boring business. i think it is in construction was on think. he said thatis construction was on think. he said that is how you make your money and a lot of people would not have heard of him because what he does is probably not so easily explained, but it is obviously the way to do it. so shall we all planning new career? my thanks, that is all we have time for tonight but my thanks to you both. don't forget,

the start on brexit as "an absurdity." still opposed to brexit but said that worst outcome would be for the uk to remain in the signal market and a customs union. she is speaking of debate in holyrood when mps are expected to support westminster‘s withdrawal bill. she said she hoped an agreement could be reached but time is running out, as she put it. she repeated that holyrood must not just be consulted about her is coming back after brexit, but that in certain areas the scottish parliament consent must be obtained. we will have more reaction to that, iam sure, we will have more reaction to that, i am sure, if and when we hearfrom borisjohnson, i am sure, if and when we hearfrom boris johnson, and we i am sure, if and when we hearfrom borisjohnson, and we may well do in the next 20 minutes. in other news, the private funeral of toddler alfie evans will take place later this afternoon in his home city of liverpool. the 23—month—old, who suffered from a degenerative brain condition, died in hospital last month after doctors

and many brexiteers believe it is a device to call for a second referendum and to block brexit, thate angen brexit, that is what has caused the anger. thank you, norman smith at westminster. an nhs trust in northern ireland is recalling 2500 neurology patients following a review of the work of a consultant. concerns were raised a year and a half ago about the diagnosis and treatment of patients who'd been seen by dr michael watt, employed by the belfast health trust. let's speak to our correspondent emma va rdy. she is in belfast. explain more about this, involving lots of patience? the number of patients recalled is on a huge scale. the concerns about dr watt were first raised in 2016, but now the belfast health trust has decided it wants to see every patient is currently in dr watt‘s care, it has begun writing to all those affected. among those 2500 patients are some children, some as young as 1a, patients are some children, some as young 3514, some with brain conditions, who may have been wrongly diagnosed. this will be a very worrying time. it is unprecedented for the belfast hea

speaking for the remainer, experienced a brexit bounce perhaps.nce perhaps. speaking for the remainer, i did find it quite amusing that britain's leading businessmen turns out to be against the united states of europe, i thought that was quite funny given that we assume that business is in favour of the closest possible links with the eu. the point was made, on the rich list, this is the first time in! the rich list, this is the first time in i think 15 years is that the list was born in britain rather than somebody who had moved to the country and brought their wealth and entrepreneurial spirit with them. country and brought their wealth and entrepreneurial spirit with themlj have to confess, i had never heard of the man. i had dimly

there are in total 12 brexit bills. this is one of them.ls are yet to be introduced. we haven't seen them yet. and the customs & trade bill has gone missing in action. it was last in the commons injanuary at committee stage, and hasn't been scheduled to return yet. i do think the government is in danger of a bit of a parliamentary pile—up with these pieces of legislation, if many of them get pushed back. thank you very much. defeats in the lords were not theresa may's only brexit based problem. does the prime minister agree with her forensic retrieve that the plan for up customers partnership set out in her lancaster house speech is in fact crazy? can i say to the right honourable gentleman we are leaving the european union, we are leaving the customs union, but of course, for our future trade arrangements, trade relationship with the european union, we will need to agree customs arrangements. boris johnson wasn't the only minister in the spotlight. the labour leader moved on to greg clark. does she agree with her business secretary who mak

but first, let's round up the week's brexit news.'s cabinet is still trying to thrash out how we might trade goods with the eu after brexit with as few taxes and delays as possible. one of the major sticking points is how to resolve the issue of the border between northern ireland and the republic. on tuesday an immigration minister appeared before the northern ireland committee to talk about passports. caroline nokes told mps that she'd not read any irish history in a "very long time" and was "probably giving birth" when the good friday agreement was being signed. can ijust ask you if you read it? not in its entirety. so it is crucially important to the british government to uphold the belfast agreement, looking at passports and the issue that we were asking for evidence and inviting evidence this afternoon, didn't see fit to lead the belfast agreement in its entirety? i haven't read the whole document. have you ever read it in the whole 20 years? have you ever read it? i haven't. but 20 years ago i think i was giving birth. well, t

ireland's border with the uk is at the heart of the negotiations for brexit. how will goods and people travel between them? this week, the most senior customs official in the uk said it could happen, but at a price. max fac, the preferred option of the brexiteers designed to minimise delays at the irish border, or indeed between british ports and the continent, will cost businesses between 17 and £20 billion a year. that's about twice as much as britain's net annual contribution to the eu budget. theresa may's preferred alternative, a customs partnership with the eu, would be a lot cheaper but has been dismissed in brussels as "magical thinking". i mean, alex, we heard that expression, we have heard it again over the weekend from michel barnier saying that really, the deal about the trade partnership is a game of hide and seek at the moment. he doesn't know what it is the british want. is it time for the british to get real and agree on what they want from that trade relationship and make the case for it? she and a —— the negotiating table for sometime. —— rec

let's talk about this brexit story.conservative mps would like us to believe this could cause business meltdown. it impacts directly on how businesses operate. how'd you operate not just businesses operate. how'd you operate notjust across the board and ireland which is vital, but in terms of everything else we are doing. we are trying to plan our business is 18 months ahead and i don't know what the customs rules are going to be, that is stupid. we need a decision quickly and the best decision is the easiest that has the least amount of control, and this is what southern ireland, the irish republic wants to have. that board issueis republic wants to have. that board issue is not just republic wants to have. that board issue is notjust about lorries going across with items, it is moving across the border the whole time, soa moving across the border the whole time, so a really retrograde step for business if you make it any harder. what do the city think about this? the city will look for the most pragmatic way, easiest

onto brexit, we cannot not talk about brexit.ew on this and remaining in the customs union? the thing about brexit is that negotiations were never going to be easy. this is among several things, it is about the really hard—core members of the brexit debate, people like borisjohnson and david davis owns michael gove, who are really concerned about the wording. it is really about how you can continue to have a border, trade across the borders between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and is really the hard—core brexiters say remove all reference to the single market, even though you can have written in the customs union, which is what the eu has proposed which is causing a bit of rancour within britain, particularly within the brexit camp. and really, how is the government able to strike a balance beyond these talks? now, the question beyond 2021, remaining in the customs union until 2021, is that going to be acceptable to the brexiters devoted to leave? you have colleagues, you sit with a lot of clever people. the sub

is the government any closer to knowing what will be in its brexit plan?t wants from the future relationship back in march. this is the british government trying to catch up. we are told it will cover a whole range of sectors, things like aviation, agriculture, fishing, financial services. the announcement of a meaty document does not get away from the fact there is a deadlock at the heart of government at the crucial issue of what our customs arrangements are going to be once we leave. there was another meeting about so—called brexit subcommittee today, trying to thrash out where they will go with all of this but so far there is no agreement. it is so important because brussels are saying there must be movement on this issue because we need to find out how we can stop a hard border being brought back in between ireland and northern ireland. for months now, the eu has been saying to britain, wejust don't know months now, the eu has been saying to britain, we just don't know what you want after brexit. theresa may hopes this document will be her a nswer to
