because we have got a well sensible, moderate, democratic political party called the brexit party. they will come and join the party and we will come and join the party and we will do this democratically and we will do this democratically and we will do this peacefully. applause thank you. and i say that because this is now actually about more than just delivering brexit. this is in fact about democracy itself. this is about democracy itself. this is about our nation. this is about those who for hundreds of years built this nation, defended this nation, sacrificed so much so that we could be a nation. this is about who we are as eight people and as a country. it really is. but it is also about oui’ it really is. but it is also about our place in the world and is standing in the world, and i have to say i've met so many people who have said to me, what on earth is happening to your country? we used to have great respect for the uk and we thought you were a great nation. we have been reduced by our politicians on the world stage to being a laughing stock. and i want us being a laughin

yet many of mr corbyn‘s previously uncritical supporters want labour to come out as an anti—brexit partyle see tom watson as a political enemy posing as a loyal colleague, yet this rift mirrors a broader split between the leader and many of the party's members in the country. in leeds north west, labour's main challenger are the anti—brexit lib dems. could clearer support for staying in the eu help win over and win back supporters? hopefully, yeah. i'd like to think it would. i think there's a lot of people that were misinformed and i think now, with everything that's happened with brexit, i think it's time that... yeah, i think we should remain. i think it would be welcomed. why? i think there's a feeling that we're proud to be european. i normally vote labour, but this time i will vote for either nigel farage or borisjohnson, or whoever wants to get us out of europe, because watson and jeremy corbyn are just useless. they don't believe in democracy or the will of the people. jeremy corbyn may well get his way in this struggle, but labour's annual conference is just over a week away and

seeking to do a deal with the brexit party in this election, which we know efore. is the conservative party seeking to be the brexit party and to remove officially titled brexit party from the little seen? officially titled brexit party from the political scene? they're certainly not seeking to do a deal, i'm sure of that, but i worked with nigel farage and richard pires, john longworth... do you regard them as political allies? in the sense they want the same thing as conservative members. to leave the eu. the conservative party as brexit party. if borisjohnson went to the country and said, look, i want a mandate to come out with no—deal on the 31st of october, they would support us and if they don't do that, they will probably oppose us but that's what democracy is about. sorry, given your relationships with these people, have you put out feelers for a deal? absolutely not, i'm saying i worked with them. you would expect them not to stand? i expect from what they have said publicly, if boris johnson was proposing a no—deal brexit they would support us. i th

he could have an alliance with the brexit party.nds on how the liberals do, how labour leave voters vote and things like that. he has got a reasonable lead butjohn curtis is saying that does not mean that he will actually win the election. he has got to get another 20 seats. there is another question. labour, conservatives, liberal democrats, but also what sort of parliament will be end up with, eight remain parliament or a leave parliament? and there is a feeling we may be moving away from labour and conservative to a country of leave and remain, and i have met friends of mine who have traditionally voted conservative who are thinking of not voting conservative and the other way round as well. the way the election would go would be difficult to predict. both that leave votes and the remaining votes could be split. we saw in the recent election that the lib dems did win because there was an alliance of three main parties and that brexit party took away from the tories and therefore they did not get the seat. there is a fascinating t

where is the brexit party in all of this? they will see where the conservative party ends up.it borrows on decides he's going to run an election saying i want a deal but i am prepared to have no deal, probably the brexit party will say thatis probably the brexit party will say that is no good for us, we are still in no deal party. if you want no deal, you should vote for us. wait to see you. thank you for your analysis. plenty more analysis lie from a very soggy westminster still to come. hello there. this week's weather is looking fairly benign. that's because we've got atlantic influence, so a mixture of conditions — a bit of sunshine, some cloud, generally temperatures around the seasonal average or a little bit below. and, in fact, wednesday looks like one of those days where the temperatures will be below average, and it'll be windy, as well, so that'll make it feel even cooler. and the reason is because we've got this area of low pressure moving down from the north—west, around our area of high pressure. two weather fronts on it, one bringing rain in the south—east, this

seeking to do a deal with the brexit party in this election, which we know conservative party seeking to be the brexit party and to remove officially titled brexit party from the little seen? they‘re certainly not seeking to do a deal, i‘m sure of that, but i worked with nigel farage and richard pires, john longworth... do you regard them as political allies? in the sense they want the same thing as conservative members. to leave the eu. the conservative party as brexit party. if borisjohnson went to the country and said, look, i want a mandate to come out with no—deal on the 31st of october, they would support us and if they don‘t do that, they will probably oppose us but that‘s what democracy is about. sorry, given your relationships with these people, have you put out feelers for a deal? absolutely not, i‘m saying i worked with them. you would expect them not to stand? i expect from what they have said publicly, if boris johnson was proposing a no—deal brexit they would support us. i think we‘re getting a bit ahead. let‘s see if we can win the vote. if we

there is a huge brexit party support up in the north but would rather us than jeremy corbyn. deal and this is what you said about it in the commons. it is a it is a choice i do not want to have to make between, if you'll excuse my language, mr speaker, a turd of a deal, which has now been taken away and polished and is now a polished turn. but it might be the best turd that we've got before us. or the alternative is those who want to stop brexit altogether, and the risk of that happening is very real. and if you'll excuse my language, if borisjohnson comes back and if you'll excuse my language, if boris johnson comes back with a polished, polished turd, would you vote for it? lam vote for it? i am destined to have that clip follow me around. i'm afraid cell. at that point i made the assessment that the risk of the backstop and withdrawal agreement was lesser than the risk of parliament overturning the risk of parliament overturning the result of the referendum and i think i have to say the events of the last six months prove that i am correct. clearly we want the prime instead

why the brexit party?|j beginning. why the brexit party? i don't really know., whatsoever. so i have you chosen nigel faraj?|j do like him, he's a bit of a... so i have you chosen nigel faraj?|j do like him, he's a bit ofa... to me. we've only got one another. well let me have another go then. what about protecting the ballot? oh, no... i don't think i will vote again. you will make you don't thank you will vote again? what's the point? you don't do what they say, do they? hello? could you take part in my pole? no? you are still here. why the lib dems? i don't know, because ijust don't think any of the lib dems? i don't know, because i just don't think any of them the lib dems? i don't know, because ijust don't think any of them know what they are doing at the moment. writes, what is it about boris ]ohnson? writes, what is it about boris johnson? he speaks his mind from you. did you vote that way last time? yup. did you vote brexit? remain. so you are happy with]eremy corbyn? not really, i've kind of lost faith in all of it, really. i don't have a homeless ball

what would happen then is aside from the brexit party, then is aside from the brexit party, the tory karas, and jeremy corbyn. he says we should not back anything until this ripple bill is supplemented, not until 19 october. whatjeremy corbyn's spokesperson was saying earlier today was that we don't have to wait until the end, we canjust wait don't have to wait until the end, we can just wait until it has passed and gotten royal assent, which could be as soon as friday. so that is where the split is, that would allow the election to take place on 15 october, whereas the other proposal it means it couldn't take place until after 31 october. what is number one thinking? what will be on the manifesto —— number ten. they say they are leaving on

the brexit party is saying stand aside in northern labour brexit voting constituencies and let us brexitt it. for doing that, we will stand aside in other areas around the country. the conservative vote might be split with nigel farage's party. there is a theory that labour leave voters in labour constituencies are more inclined to vote for the brexit party than the conservative party. they see the conservative party. they see the conservative the old enemy. they wouldn't vote for the conservatives but they would vote for nigel farage. absolutely. and the remaining voters would go to the lib dems when they would never have voted for than before. if i was a far right tory, from the erg, i would be upset. the chair of the erg has called for a working relationship with them. and in that piece, the brexit party said they would not put up a candidate against erg candidates. is it happening already? we have mentioned dominic cummingsafew already? we have mentioned dominic cummings a few times. a figure with so cummings a few times. a figure with so much authority and power who appears in numbe

, a hardcore brexit party. s the spectrum, tory remainers, who want to respect the referendum but don't want no deal, tory brexiteers who don't want no deal. tories of all stripes who believe in fiscal prudence — where do they go in this new setup? i think people are underestimating how many votes the liberal democrats will pick up. i think the lib dems will steal from the tory party and labour. the conservative party is banking on a complete realignment to pick up labour leave voters in the north and that is a real gamble when, at the same time, they have purged tory moderates and ruth davidson in scotland has stepped down and they are likely to lose anywhere between six to ten seats. possibly more. we have only got a few seconds left. before we get to electoral politics, annalisa, surely the question for the rebel alliance this week is to answer the questions which will be in many voters' mind. why on earth do we need another extension of three months? we have been in this purgatory long enough. yes, but what

what about the bee word, the brexit party. will that be in the brexit party. the minds of conservatives?” the brexit party. will that be in the minds of conservatives? i think it well. because if an election comes before the brexit deadline, then the conservatives are well aware that they are vulnerable, and if brexit has not happened, the brexit party, led by nigel farage, will be able to eat in to the electoral hawks. perhaps cutting their majority and taking seats in parliament, perhaps threatening seats where the conservatives don't have particularly strong presence because they have a simple message that brexit should be delivered prefera bly that brexit should be delivered preferably almost without a deal. certainly by the current deadline of the 31st october. i think that is why you will see, as well as the focus which the party would like to have on its domestic agenda, talk about brexit as well, and being the party that is able to deliver that effectively, that message is aimed securely and squarely at voters who might well waver in the general electi

how are the main parties going to win you over, who are as divided over brexit as politicans on all sidesand will the parties who want to stop brexit find a way to work together? also... on this programme yesterday, one senior conservative mp didn't hold back when describing the prime minister's downing street advisor, dominic cummings. an unelected, foul—mouthed oaf, throwing his weight around. it's completely unacceptable. we'll talk to a man who shared an office with him, and says he thrives on creating enemies and fighting them. hello. welcome to the programme. we're live until 11 this morning. from westminster, again. are you ready for a general election? will you vote? it would be the third general election in four years. let's know this morning. send us a message on twitter. many guests to talk to this morning and plenty of voters as well, we would love to hear from you wherever you are in the country and we will feed your comments into our conversations. first, samantha simmonds has the news. good morning. good morning, victoria, thank you. boris johnson is facing another legal ch

from splitting 7 keep the brexit party from splitting 00 keep the brexit party from splitting anyrds. where we headed? there's news there is a new planet discovered 110 light years away. very glamorous name, k to 18 b -- k218b. away. very glamorous name, k to 18 b -- k21bb. it's away. very glamorous name, k to 18 b -- k218b. it's quite the planet i would like to be on at the moment to get away from all this brexit discussion. they are saying there is going to be all the sort of climate conducive to life forms, all of the other planets seem quite inclement. 110 light years away, by then, would we have solved what happens with brexit? i will have to leave that with you. john and carolyn, thank you for coming into night. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, john and caroline. goodbye. good evening. i have your letters sports news. —— latest. jason

jonathan, officially we have a stop brexit party, but no people's vote now? liberal democrats's policy to stop brexit. as you've seen, the question of for discussion here in bournemouth this weekend is how they go about doing that. and until now they've thrown their weight behind the campaign to hold another referendum and tractor reversed the decision to leave the eu that way, but the decision today means if there is a general election, they will go one step further and campaign on the basis that if they get into government and wina that if they get into government and win a majority, they will revoke article 50 and cancel brexit without putting the question to the people in another referendum. now there's a big if in there, the liberal democrats are highly unlikely to find themselves being able to form a majority government after a general election anytime soon. but they clearly believe campaigning on that basis will allow themselves to be set apart from the labour party, who have a slightly more nuanced position involving negotiating a new deal than puttin

brexit is delayed. remember, this is the party that nigel faraj set up to make sure that brexit is delivered. in the european elections. there was a real fear in the conservative party that the brexit party would clean up, that they would split the vote and could usher in a labour, liberal democrat government. ,ne of the hardline brexiteers steve baker, was talking today tt would be good to do a pac with conservatives and brexiteers so they don't run candidates in the same places in brder to prevent a labour-lid dem coalition that would seek to reverse brexit. it is an open question whether boris johnson would triumph. scotland, he has lost because theresa may did make gains in scotland. joe: if there is another election, going back to the same question, how much has it theoretically hurt jeremy corbyn and labor that he has not been more unambiguously opposed to brexit? that people who really want to see remain don't totally feel like he is on their side, or as hard-core remain as others. emma: that goes to the heart of the dilemma that the labour 2016, thato face in a of labor voters voted in

and if they do that, what will the brexit party wa nt they do that, what will the brexit party want inelp them in some of these constituencies do not split the leave out, but what about the kind of constituencies that we see, let's say, in the south—west, there is marginal constituencies that tend to be remain leading? david cameron won in the 2015 general election and borisjohnson would need to win if an election majority were to be achieved in those constituencies. but with a go for a conservative party that was willing to jump into bed with the brexit party? that's a big unknown. thank you for talking to us. the prime minister spoke strongly after 6pm just outside of number ten downing street, that he had to say. five weeks ago i spoke to you from these steps and said the government was not going to hang around that we would not wait until brexit day, october 31, to deliver on the priorities of the british people. and so i am proud to say that on wednesday, chancellor sajid javid is going to set out the most ambitious spending round for more than a decade. i said i wanted to make yo

alex phillips from the brexit party. more reaction from the brexit party.with the rain must persist into this afternoon to northern ireland, scotland and the north west of england and wales. that leaves some southern and eastern areas cloud but rather cloudy. temperatures up to 23 degrees. overnight, this area of rain pushes southwards across much of england and wales, the been heavy at times and towards the north and west, the rain clears, the sky clears for a time but further showers moving into scotland and northern ireland tomorrow the rain starting off the day in southeast, sunshine then comes out, then some showers and western areas for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, looking like a cloudy day with rain at times, some rain quite heavy and the winds go to a northerly direction that will make things feel much cooler across northern areas, temperatures of around 13 degrees in aberdeen. hello, this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines... a momentous day as westminster prepares for a showdown. the prime minister says nothing will make him d

we are ina behalf of the brexit party.tion here where, if we get to the 1st of november, and we have not left the european union, you will see support for the brexit party rise considerably. i do think in the circumstances, we have got a very important role to play. so, when will they be a general election? soon, novemberi when will they be a general election? soon, november i would think. we have the speaker saying the other day that the earliest it could now be a general election was november fifth comments opposing the opposition parties slapped down a motion of no confidence on monday. don't think that will happen. more likely it will stretch into middle 01’ likely it will stretch into middle or late november. a winter election. with that in mind, promises from the conservatives today about health spending, billions for40 conservatives today about health spending, billions for a0 new hospital projects in england. are we clear whether that was new money? because i have been quite a few announcements from boris johnson b

the tory party has become the brexit party. i think he underestimated the reaction within the rest of his party of disquiet at this extraordinary behavior. and then the other surprise has been the discipline shown by jeremy corbyn, the yes, awful leader of the opposition, not immediately agreeing to an election and saying that there would not be an election until this legislation was on the books. and essentially wanting to leave boris johnson dangling to force him to be the prime minister who asked for an extension. you have this completely weird thing in british politics. there are loads of weird things in british politics. but right now you have a prime minister who has always said he didn't want an election desperately to try to have it. and a leader of the opposition that has been desperate to have an election now trying to prevent one happening. this is the topsy-turvy world that we now live in. >> george, how deep is the rift in the conservative party. is it conceivable that boris johnson could face an internal rebellion,

the brexit party and nigel farage. the brexit party and nigel farage.f the prime minister committed himself to no deal then the brexit party would not stand and given that probably most of the brexit party vote would go to the conservatives, the prime minister would find himself in a very strong position indeed, according to opinion polls. but that is not what the prime minister's official position is, and his position is that he only wanting to the possibility of no deal in order to be able to successfully strike a deal with the eu. and then the problem he faces therefore is that if it goes into an election and he hasn't delivered brexit it looks as though the brexit party will not find that satisfactory and meanwhile of course he will have to try to persuade leave voters that eventually his government would succeed in delivering brexit but dou btless succeed in delivering brexit but doubtless nigel farage may be inclined to say, you gave your votes to the tories once and they failed to the tories once and they failed to deliver, should you do so again

brexit. then the campaign began and it barely got mentioned. there was dementia tax and both partiesof fights on their visions being on brexit and it would seem very visions being on brexit and it would seem very weird if that happened now with all that has happened and he could still happen. there is the element at the brexit party and the whole equation and in the next five weeks as it boiled down to effectively a de facto referendum again on brexit? and do people get a straight choice between a true blue brexit if you will and a labour remain position? i think that is an interesting way and positing an it and what the tories were trying to deal was present themselves as the brexit party and appeal so many votes away from the brexit prydie as ican and votes away from the brexit prydie as i can and the labour issue is votes being eaten up by the liberal democrat. of the conservatives i think are better at sending out a electoral story than labour are at the moment and they are slightly split, getting the opportunity of tories to come to the middle if they are able to manoeuvre the r

what would happen then is aside from the brexit party, then is aside from the brexit party, the tory might need a new leader of. there is a clear split between karas, and jeremy corbyn. he says we should not back anything until this ripple bill is supplemented, not until 19 october. whatjeremy corbyn‘s spokesperson was saying earlier today was that we don't have to wait until the end, we canjust wait don't have to wait until the end, we can just wait until it has passed and gotten royal assent, which could be as soon as friday. 50 that is where the split is, that would allow the election to take place on 15 october, whereas the other proposal it means it couldn't take place until after 31 october. what is number one thinking? what will be on the manifesto —— number ten. they say they are leaving on 31 october do ordie, but say they are leaving on 31 october do or die, but clearly they will have to focus on the election and get a deal. exactly, they don't want to leave, that was a phrase boris johnson used today. vote for the conservatives, give me a majority andi conservatives, give m

and narrowly focused party that does not speak to the millions of people worried about brexit and a ss the real problems of brexit and denounces all the concerns as project fear. justine greening is off. this is what she said. the job of an mp, for me, is to be putney's voice in parliament. and that is certainly what i have sought to do and i will of course do that today in making sure that we pass this bill, hopefully, through parliament on wednesday. but it is very clear to me that my concerns about the conservative party becoming the brexit party, in effect, have come to pass and therefore my decision is that, if i really want to continue to make a difference on the ground on opportunity and social mobility, i need to do that outside parliament and that is what i'm prepared to do. now, those around mrjohnson say it is the rebels causing all of this disquiet and by threatening to pass the no deal legislation they risk scuppering boris johnson's the no deal legislation they risk scuppering borisjohnson‘s brexit strategy and jeopardising the prospect of the eu cunning forward with an

that is because the brexit party works slightly differently, it does not have members, it has supportersparty says they have had about a thousand people at each of these. last night they were in maidstone in kent. tonight is the final one. a lot has focused on the idea of the brexit party want to see a no—deal brexit, they call it a clean break brexit. they have been offering the conservatives a sort of nonaggression pact in a coming election, where they would agree not to put up candidates in conservative seats or conservative target seats if the conservatives agree to the idea of a no—deal brexit. the conservative party have not said thatis conservative party have not said that is something they would agree to. iam that is something they would agree to. i am told we will hear tonight from nigel farage more of the policies. a criticism of the brexit party is we have not heard what they would do in terms of domestic policy. i am told we will hear some details tonight about what they will be putting before the electorate in any general election. thank you very much for that. and we'll fin

realign the conservative party, to transform the conservative party, very much in the direction of a brexit party accusation, boris johnson is seeking to turn the tory party into the brexit party. team johnson say they have to take this ha rd johnson say they have to take this hard line because if they don't, there is no chance of the eu coughing upa there is no chance of the eu coughing up a revised deal because they will never think borisjohnson is serious about leaving without a deal and that was the argument we heard this morning from the secretary, gavin williamson. what the prime minister, quite understandably, wants to do, is ensure that he delivers on his promise to britain to leave the european union on the slst of october with a deal, and what we want to see is all conservative mps rallying behind him this week, making sure that he has the best opportunity to deliver on that commitment. so, are we heading towards a general election? hold on, not so fast. because to trigger a general election, under what is known as the fixed term parliament act, which was drawn up to stop the government

brexit party is exerting extreme influence on the conservative party, do you think its support will hold in the furnace of a general election? that i think is the $64,000 question. that hasn't been holding so far, it has been eroding during the course of the last six weeks but i guess we have to ask ourselves is there going to bea to ask ourselves is there going to be a crucial difference between a brexit party led by the charismatic nigel farage as compared with the ukip party that two years ago was being led by paul nuttall? but equally on the other side of the fence, the conservatives are going to be led by a charismatic politician called borisjohnson, rather than a politician who frankly found campaigning somewhat difficult, ie theresa may. so whether or not as a result boris johnson will be able to convince lee voters, yes, you do need to vote for me, this is the only way to deliver brexit, or whether nigel farage saying, that is what they said last time and they haven't delivered, and by the way, borisjohnson doesn't wa nt to by the way, borisjohnson doesn't want to deliver a no—de

if people put into government the majority government the stop brexit party, then stopping brexit isxactly what people will get. the foreign secretary condemns the attacks on saudi oil sites — saying they're a reckless attempt to damage regional security and disrupt global supplies. police in hong kong fire tear gas and water cannon to disperse pro—democracy protesters. the police have decided enough is enough. they're making use of water cannon, as well as the tear gas. it's worked for a time, but we've just seen that this hard core of protesters just keep coming back. former rugby star gareth thomas says he wants to break the stigma surrounding hiv and reveals he's tested positive. england win the fifth and final ashes test against australia to level the series. good evening, welcome to bbc news. the former prime minister david cameron says borisjohnson only backed brexit in the eu referendum to further his career and that leave supporters "left the truth at home" when they hit the campaign trail three years ago. in an extract from mr cameron's memoirs, published today, he says...

it has been hard for people to keep across all the different elements on brexit but now parties are changingbly all three of the uk wide party is shifting from where they were at the start of this year on this all—important question. and now the lib dems, who we thought we re now the lib dems, who we thought were solidly behind the idea of a further referendum, because they think the result would be different from the one in 2016, they seem to be giving up on the idea. can you explain that? they are not quite giving up on the idea of a second referendum, but as you say, that has until this point been the lib dems' policy. we know they want to stop brexit. the question up for discussion in bournemouth is how. while the party say they are still in favour of holding a second referendum in the hope of overturning the one from 2016, they wa nt to overturning the one from 2016, they want to go further and leaderjo swinson is arguing that in a general election campaign the lib dems should have a policy of, if they we re should have a policy of, if they were to win a majority and get into government

if you take enough vote 5 from the tories, the brexit party could scupper brexit. before party and we would step down in areas where there could be brexit supporting mps. so the ball lies in boris johnson's court. supporting mps. so the ball lies in borisjohnson's court. if he wants to split the vote, the blame lies with him. you have no mps, he has lots of mps, he needs more to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. he is closer to you than theresa may ever was. in rhetoric. well also, it doesn't matter what hits him, he has still the same line as you, but you could be the people who stop him from delivering on brexit. that would just be a ridiculous position to find yourselves in. that is not how we see it. five million labour voters voted leave and a poll said yesterday said 23% of labour leave voters would switch to voting to borisjohnson on this one occasion on nigel‘s say so. 56% of wales and the east midlands would agree to vote for boris johnson, the east midlands would agree to vote f

brexit. the danger for that is, party and present himself as mr brexit. nk his tactics are very unwise for a conservative party leader, is that in order to do that he has kicked out of the party, certainly the parliamentary party, people who a lot of wavering voters responded very well, people like ken clarke and rory stewart, who made a name for themselves in the election campaign, and in order to go after those hardline brexit votes he is in danger of alienating those more one nation moderate conservatives who have been part of the coalition that supported every conservative government up until now. let's go to the times. you were talking about dominic cummings, a controversial advisor from vote leave. is he behind this whole strategy, do you think, i've kicking out rebel mps? ultimately boris johnson is the leader, isn't he? ithink ultimately boris johnson is the leader, isn't he? i think if he goes along with a decision, borisjohnson is responsible for it. i do think that in terms of coming up with the strategy, dominic cummings plays a significant rol

if people put into government as a majority government the stop brexit party, then stopping brexit is exactly what people will get. yes, we will invoke article 50. david cameron accuses borisjohnson of only backing leave — in order to further his own political career. iran dismisses accusations made by the us — that it was responsible for two drone attacks, that have crippled saudi oil production. police in hong kong use water cannon and tear gas against thousands of pro—democracy campaigners defying a protest ban. messages of support for former wales rugby captain, gareth thomas, who has revealed he is hiv positive — saying he wants to help reduce the stigma around the condition. and in sport — australia struggle chasing 399, as england look to level the ashes. the liberal democrats say they will cancel brexit altogether if they form the next government. they've voted at their annual conference in bournmouth to revoke article 50 — the legislation which allows the uk to leave the eu — without having a referendum first. party leaderjo swinson says voters must be give the chance to stop

theresa may tried to deliver brexit while keeping her party together. es. brexit party leader nigel farage says the party won‘t stand against anti—europe conservative mps. so might the tories work with him? here‘s the chancellor sajid javid. can you say publicly now there will be no pact, no deal, no alliance with nigel farage and the brexit party? we don‘t need an alliance with anyone. but let me also... would you rule it out? the point that you‘ve made there about, the picture i think you could say our opponents are painting of us and of course, they would paint a false picture. this was conservatives... no, we are proud centre—right, moderate, one nation party. there is nothing extremist about wanting to meet the will of the british people on a simple question which was, do you want to leave the eu or not. people want that honoured. there is nothing extremist about that. i'mjust i'm just asking you one question... and we are as committed to everyone in our society about healing the wounds and that is what you will see from this government. i'm asking

at the other end of the spectrum, the qualified offer of support from the brexit party — if the tories they won't gobble up their votes. tories, you cannot win without us. boris, if you do the right thing and we support you, you will be a national hero in the history of this nation. downing street might have welcomed its newest resident today, a rescue dog adopted by the prime minister and his partner. but how long he and his owners call this home, may soon be a question that is answered by us all. mps will return to house of commons tomorrow when the latest legislative move will take place to try to block a no—deal brexit. and if that succeeds, downing street is signalling that the prime minister would then try to call for a general election. 0ur chief political correspondent, vicki young, has been looking at how the next few days and weeks could unfold. westminster‘s preparing for a huge parliamentary battle. tomorrow, mps return from their summer break, and they're going to ask the speaker for an emergency debate and vote, which they hope will allow them to take control of business

for them to do that, they'd need the brexit party, and the brekts par party and the brexit party is notng to be happy with the way this is unfolding and certainly the kind of leadership that boris johnson is providing. when one looks to the opposition, there is no way that the liberal dems end up with a majority and there is a big question as to whether jeremy corbyn can lead the labor party to a majority. there is a possibility of a coalition of an opposition that could do very well in the election. certainly things have not been going well for the conservative party over the last few days. >> indeed. and, of course, the other part of that story is that boris johnson expelled 21 conservative lawmakers from the party for moving against him, including the grandson of winston churchill and nicholas soems. so where does that leave the conservative party in the midst of this apparent crisis? and what impact might that have on any snap election? >> i mean, the conservative party essentially is facing a complete crisis. its only opportunity of doing well electorally one could argue is bringin

certainly if boris johnson is able to bring aboard the brexit party folks, he stands a very good chance of walking away as the leading party. perhaps not with a majority but the leading party in a general election, potentially even with new members elected to parliament from the conservative party that could allow him to deliver the kind of brexit that he wants. so it really all depends on the kind of coordination one can get from the opposition around this question as well. >> quite the game of strategy. it's anyone's guess as to where this all lands. no doubt we'll be talking in 24 hours to figure it all out. dominic thomas, thank you so much for joining us and sharing your thoughts. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> parts of the bahamas are obliterated and hurricane dorian now has its sights set on the u.s. coast. the latest from florida. that's just ahead. do stay with us. cramped and uncomfortable. we can arrange a little upgrade. which is why i wear skechers... wide fit shoes. they have extra room throughout. they're like a luxury ride for my feet. try skechers wide fit shoes. they

the dup is open to shifting its red lines on brexit, helping borisjohnson get a deal with the eu, reports the times. the newspaper understands that the party would accept nortern ireland abiding by some eu rules after brexit as part of a new deal to replace to irish backstop. the guardian leads with the speakerjohn bercow, who has said he will stop the prime ministerfrom breaking the law to push through a brexit the house of commons doesn't agree with. jeremy corbyn is discussing scrapping discounts for independent schools, according to the independent, in what they call a ‘tax raid on private‘ education. and borisjohnson has warned that labour will ‘clobber‘ voters with taxes, reports the express. the eu is preparing to speak of it's ‘grave concern‘ that the home office‘s ‘hostile environment‘ is getting worse for its citizens, says the independent. ‘our world is choking to death‘ says the mirror, as crime gangs set fire to the amazon, putting our environment at risk. and the proportion of women who are married is at an all time low, says the daily mail on its front page. that started for the daily telegraph and they have the story about

of the breasted party —— brexit party. -- brexit party.s lifelong members, people who have worked, spent their whole lives to this cause, suddenly finding the shift the borisjohnson has delivered in a matter of weeks pushed some by nigel farage in that direction, they say they can neither feel part of this party. the conservative party has prided themselves on being quite a broad church. you could see it from number ten's position that if you're going to have an election, you do not want to come back with the majority and have tony or 30 who are still not signed up to what you wa nt to are still not signed up to what you want to do. that is definitely their view. there are other view is these are not normal times, not normal votes. this is not some deal on education there has been an argument about. this is a fundamental matter of principle, where is the country going? and they see it as a confidence issue in the prime minister. jack, always great to have your time. jack blanchard. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in the

next election win a majority, if people put into government as a majority government — the stop—brexit partyctly what people will get. yes, we will revoke article 50. a clear message from the liberal democrats, that's about as far as they can go in hardening their position as an anti—brexit party. jo swinson says they should be unequivocal in their message. it will likely go down very well with the party faithful here in bournemouth this weekend, who are in good spirits after the defection of conservative mp sam gyimah last night but it's not without risk because there will be those who say that for a party with the word "democrat" in its name, overturning the result of a referendum without holding another referendum isn't necessarily the most democratic thing to do. although the argument against that from jo swinson and others would likely be that they would have won a mandate on the basis of their policy to revoke article 50. and with this shift in policy, even though the overall aim is the same of stopping brexit, it might risk confusing voters in a general election campaign in terms of k

through or indeed somehow is standing on a platform of no deal, then he may be able to squeeze the brexit party he fails to get a deal through and article 50 is on the course to being revoked and we have another referendum, then the conservative party is in deep trouble. i think we should remember, we could note to the polls at the moment but the crucial thing will be, where has the brexit process got to by the time an election is called and held ? to by the time an election is called and held? and that will be after the crucial developments in the third week of october when the european union meet with the uk. let's talk about labour and the opposition parties more broadly. labour putting off coming down on one side or the other on the leave or remain question. where is that going to leave it as we head towards a general election at some point in the not—too—distant future, we suppose? it's not immediately obvious how labour's latest compromised position, and it has had many nuances and varieties in the last four years, as to how that is going to help it. the problem the labour party faces is

if the party were to wina cancel brexit if the party were topeakers disagreeing with it. one saying it allows the party to be seen as extreme and leaves it open to criticism from some that it is anti—democratic, looking to overturn the result of one referendum without putting the question directly to the public in another public vote. another speaker in the debate here in the last hour or so described this as an undeliverable promise, and the party wasn't offering to voters in the north of england, in the south—west and wales, with this unequivocal position. but they were in the minority, expressing uneasy some lib dems members feel at overturning the result of a referendum unilaterally, if you like, without holding another public vote, but overwhelmingly the motion was carried by liberal democrat members here, and no big surprise that a party that is staunchly opposed to brexit and has seen its anti brexit stance when it support at the european parliamentary elections recently and in the opinion polls as well, has voted to go one step further
