, a hard—nosed deal brexit which borisjohnson brexit, a hard—nosed deal brexit which boris johnson is is genuine fear. they are not making it up. they lived through the troubles, and are genuinely worried. it is something which was hardly discussed in 2016, and has been so dismissed by people on that side of the brexit debate since then. as a scot, i want a united the brexit debate since then. as a scot, iwant a united kingdom together. i want the... the thought of us breaking apart fills me with dismay and i was elected on a strong promise to fight for scotland's place in the uk and the uk's place in the eu. i've made that promise to my constituents and it is a promise i intend to keep. i believe that we can save our united kingdom and we can save our united kingdom and we can stop brexit and we shouldn't have to choose between them. applause jo, thank you. it is interesting that that question related to the constitution of our union, that is what the second question is about. carl cox asks, should we have a written constitution, and when? given the current public perception of polit

before brexit was delivered, the brexit party, the conservatives. , the brexit party has done very wellhis year taking votes from the conservatives. uncertain. is very taylor: we heard from boris johnson at the top of his speech that this is another pointless delay. i have to give it to him. is this not true? what do they think they can accomplish in the next few months that i have not been able to in more than -- that they have not been able to in more than three years? emma: that's a very good question. there imperative is to avoid the economic chaos and damage that most people think a no deal brexit would cause. we are talking about manufacturing jobs being lost, the sort of cliff edge departure. what this means is the economic system that has been running for 14 years, whether tariffs or regulations, is suddenly torn asunder overnight and what that means for consumers, markets, jobs. most people think that is pretty dramatic, so that is their main imperative, to prevent that. is there a deal the labour party would say they do have a proposal, it would be a softer brexit, maintaining

on brexit.e commons today. this government will always respect the rule of law. that has been our clear position consistently and frankly it is outrageous that that is even in doubt. of course, how the rule of law will be respected is normally straightforward, but sometimes it can be more complex. because there are conflicting laws and competing legal advice. that has happened today. this is another element of the brexit story. the speaker of the house of commonsjohn bercow announced he would stand down. if the house votes tonight for a early general election, my ten years as speaker and my time as mp will end when this parliament ends, and if the house does not so vote i have concluded that the least disruptive and most democratic course of action would be for me to stand down at the close of business on thursday october 31. because we know plenty about that date because that is the brexit deadline. the speaker is elected by mps in a secret ballot and holds a key role — he or she chairs debates

is the conservative party seeking to be the brexit party and to remove officially titled brexit partysure of that, but i worked with nigel farage and richard pires, john longworth. .. do farage and richard pires, john longworth... do you regard farage and richard pires, john longworth. .. do you regard them as political allies? in the sense they wa nt 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 0ctober, 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 adl? 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 borisjohnson was proposing a no—deal brexit they would support us. no—deal brexit they would support us. i think we're getting a bit ahead. let's see if we can wi

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

brexiteers who want brexit but hated the deal.d of ireland in the event that the uk and eu fail to reach a new trade deal. it achieves this by keeping the uk in the eu's customs union. indefinitely. some tory brexiteers couldn't stomach this — and this the deal was scuppered and a delay agreed. that led to a surge in support for the newly created brexit party led by nigel farage. it came top in the european elections — promoting no deal as the best form of brexit. by this point, theresa may had run out of options and resigned. and borisjohnson won the right to replace her with a promise to leave on 31 october "do or die". that alienated some conservatives. on tuesday, the question is, will the conservatives finally be broken apart by the issue of europe? i have thought they few times this must be the moment when the pressure becomes too much for the tories but they have always managed to hold together. tomorrow is another challenge. conservative mps looking at this as a moment for the party, could you see some kind of split? the t

you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit.. 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 for borisjohnson, if nigel instructed them that that was the way to deliver brexit. just instructed them? no if their main point is to deliver brexit, that is all we are about, we are a plain party, we can't be dishonest and spin anything. if they want brexit implemented and it means voting for the tory, 23% of labour voters said they would do that. thank you. that's it from me on this dramatic day in westminster. i'll be back tomorrow on bbc two at 7pm w

blow to prime minister boris johnson's brexit plans. mps have voted to seize control of parliament's agenda, to allow them to pass legislation that would block a no—deal brexit. weather forecasters in the united states monitoring the progress of hurricane dorian are warning of serious storm surges hitting the coast of florida, georgia and the carolinas in the coming hours. and this video is trending on bbc.com: scientists are warning that the massive ice sheet covering greenland may have melted by a record amount this year. researchers are warning people living in costal areas to be prepared for rising sea levels. that's all. stay with bbc world news. now on bbc news, stephen sackur speaks to conservative mp peter bone on hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. for more than three years, british politics has been convulsed by brexit. we've seen endless parliamentary arguments with no resolution. this week, that may change. prime minister boris johnson's determination to be out of the eu come what may on october the 31st, and

let's come together and get it done and let's get brexit. —— lets get brexit done by october 31.ing brexit done by october 31. so that was borisjohnson speaking in downing street just after was borisjohnson speaking in downing streetjust after 6pm. just hearing from our political editor at laura kuenssberg, saying its understood boris johnson laura kuenssberg, saying its understood borisjohnson would call a, quote, rapid general election which would be expected to be on october the 14th, is tory and opposition mps succeed in outlawing a no—deal brexit in parliament this week. so arthur divided her saying if there is a successful vote by opposition and tory mps to outlaw a no—deal brexit this week, then boris johnson would go for what is being described as a rapid general election. —— our political editor saying that. that would be expected to be on october the 14th. let's get the thoughts now of political a nalyst the thoughts now of political analyst sirjohn curtice who joins us from glasgow via webcam. first of all, borisjohnson's statement there, in terms of his message to the

so, for now, brexit ready, yes? brexit ready, yes. yeah, bring it on. can we have a go?ared, help is at hand. a new online questionnaire generates a company specific list of things you need to do. tea merchant ricky qatari filled it out and we looked at the results. set up a duty deferment account to pay your customs duty. you have one of those? no. no? duty deferment account? do you even know what that is? no. me neither. in total, there were 25 steps ricky needs to take to prepare. some of which the government's website says will take more than four weeks. time ricky would rather spend in other ways. it's quite scary. the amount of items i've got to look at or potentially employ someone to now work with me on to get these things all resolved in time. we are busy with trade shows and meeting clients, trying to continue with the business. i think this is going to take some time to really go through. so some businesses here say they've done all they can, others say they feel very underprepared. most of them, frankly, don't know whether they are prepared for a no—deal brex

you're bored of brexit, i'm board of brexit, we allare, of brexit, i'm board of brexit, we all are, bute a decision of this magnitude by an inflection of patience. the obvious way to resolve brexit was by setting out the different forms of it, making parliament to choose, and if they can't, asking the people to have the final say. this has never been tried by government in a structured way, and is now dismissed asa structured way, and is now dismissed as a ploy of obstruction when it remains the only plan of reason. so, we are poised to leave europe on 315t october with no deal, and no idea, frankly, of what it really means. difficult, damaging or disastrous? but many believe it will bea disastrous? but many believe it will be a disaster, not only economically, but in areas like security. and i ask, does no—one presently in government, particularly those cabinet members who used to protest against the irresponsible to such a course, understand the consequence of doing this in circumstances where a large pa rt of this in circumstances where a large part of the country will regard this ou

in the case of a no—deal brexit, eu leaders won't wa nt to no—deal brexit, eu leaders won't want to bees slamming the door in the face of the uk. it is hard to see circumstances where the eu don't grant an extension but threatening and moaning, plenty of that before we see an extension. if you don't subscribe to the brexit podcast, go and sign up to it. very easy to find, normally at the top of the charts on itunes and other distributors. the conservative party is under pressure on the issue of europe as perhaps never before. it has threatened in the past to split the tory party and it looks like it's the tory party and it looks like its beginning to happen. so michael fallon has announced he will not stand in the next election. he doesn't give any further reasons but another big beast of the party exiting the scene. alistair burt saying he wouldn't stand again, uncomfortable with borisjohnson's brexit policy. justin greening, pointing to discomfort with how the tory party is going about its work. we had this from david gauke, part of the 21 who voted against the government yesterday.

eu leaders still want a brexit deal.he middle of next month, as boris johnson wanted as well, but they remain highly sceptical, as we heard today from the eu's chief brexit negotiator. simply the two sites are still very far apart and the ruling today by the supreme court did nothing change that. so what does all this mean for brexit? well, for the most part, nothing has changed. that's because brexit largely depends on whether the prime minister can secure a deal with the eu at the summit on october 17 and 18. it also depends on him getting a majority of mps to back that deal. today'sjudgment has no bearing on that, but it makes a no—deal brexit far less likely because it makes it much more difficult for the pm to ignore a law passed this month — requiring him to ask for yet another extension if a deal cannot be agreed at the eu summit. mrjohnson may have considered ignoring that law, to take britain out without a deal. but as you can see here, it would probably end up back in the supreme court — which already ruled aga

we want to stop brexit for good. we want to stop the tories, to stop this prime minister, and most importantly, we want to give the people their choice to decide their own future. however, mr. speaker, we will not be party to the prime minister's game and allow the prime minister to use an election to force a no-deal brexit through the back door. simply put, the snp cannot support this motion tonight because we do not support the prime minister. [indiscernible] his content for democracy and his government's broken promises to the people of scotland. we cannot trust that he will although this bill to pass and remove the cliff edge. to other opposition parties, tonight we will not give the prime minister the opportunity to bring in a no deal through the back door. but we cannot allow a government that has lost its majority, that thatnot command the house, has [indiscernible] to remain in office for one more day longer than is necessary. the prime minister is going to shut this parliament down so he can spend four weeks

stay there, thatis brexiteer say if you stay there, that is brexit in name only, not a true brexit,t it. that option struggles, which takes you to a harder brexit where you leave the single market and the customs union but the challenge there is how do you do that without compromising the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and the eu wants reassu ra nces ireland, and the eu wants reassurances they will not be checks on that board even when the uk leaves the single market and the customs union, and so far the two sides have not been able to agree on a version of the exit of the single market where that border does not have checks, so until one of those three options is resolved with a consensus in westminster, the uk remains stuck as it is, and the latest development in this extraordinary story is we have had this cross—party alliance of mps voting on this legislation to block a no—deal brexit in any circumstances and to force the prime minister to write to donald tusk and ask for another brexit delay, unless ask for another brexit delay, unless a deal is fo

medoes she agree with actually a no deal brexit is no way out of this brexit conundrum? it will follow years and years of difficulties in its dishonesty. a no deal brexit will solve -- >> the honorable lady is right. not only is she right about no deal, she is also right that the prime minister's agreement would not have ended the debates about brexit. it did not determine our future trading relationship with the european union. mr. speaker, my views on this are well-known. i believe the only way out is to have now a peaceful vote. the former prime minister -- at least it was something put back to the british people with remain on the ballot paper and let's get this matter over. i believe the british people have also changed their minds. i think they are now seeing brexit for what it is and given the opportunity, they would vote for the best deal, and that is the current deal we have the with the european union -- we have with the european union. we must go back to the british people by way of a people's vote. because -- iny response to this the reality this isthis tonig

that's what the lib dems want, they want to stop brexit.oser to an independent scotland, the end of the union. now, down there, perhaps the most genteel debating chamber in the democratic world, well, things are about to turn ugly. this country has high standards... the lords must pass the rebel bill too. in debates, in debates about debates, opposing sides doing all they can to support or resist the attempt to rule out a no—deal brexit and bind the prime minister's hands by law. the signs are that it will be as passionate, maybe as bad—tempered, as the upper house ever gets. what then? what's the prime minister's plan? well, an election on october 15th if only the commons would let him, but it takes two thirds of mps to agree to an early election. that's 434 of them. and we saw that yesterday, the numbers weren't there. what about labour? they look split. some close tojeremy corbyn say they would like to move within days to back an early election. others want to wait until they can force borisjohnson to break his defining promise and seek

they will now be able to try unblock a no deal brexit. we have plenty on that on oui’ brexit.bsite. for now, goodbye. 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 next one bringing plenty of showers to scotland and northern ireland through the day. but that rain should clear away from the south—east through the morning. skies will brighten up, but the winds will pick up from a north—westerly, bringing plenty of showers. in the northern half of the country, some of these could be quite heavy, and those wind gusts, 30, 40, maybe 50mph

in favour of brexit.ere have been plenty of the letter also in the last few days have seen the arrival of a new television programme and this contentious area, hoping to shed some light on the twists and turns of the process. brexit cast which has been running as a podcast for more than two years has now taken over the thursday late night slot previously occupied by andrew neil's this week on bbc one. at the start of the first show one of its four presenters outlined what new audiences should expect. for people sitting in a box with headphones on. and it's not the usual thing of telly and suits and auto cues and all that kind of stuff. that is obvious. it is not our usual persona oi'i obvious. it is not our usual persona on television either because if you see us on television either because if you see us on on television either because if you see us on the ten o'clock news or if you hear us on radio four, we will be sounding a lot more serious and we give short answers. we summarise, here we go into deta

the uncertainty about brexit first, the second, the quasi— revolution in british politics caused by brexitervative party, you have people until re ce ntly party, you have people until recently considered the absolute sort of poor, the reasonable, sensible establishment of the conservative party, now rebel suspended including, goodness sake! winston churchill, a grandson of winston churchill, a grandson of winston churchill, a grandson of winston churchill, the legendary wartime leader. and really, in many ways you would save this is sort of a perfect storm for britain, what i mean by that? not only do you have this astonishing challenge of brexit, the biggest peacetime challenge the country has ever faced since1945, extricating challenge the country has ever faced since 1945, extricating itself from since1945, extricating itself from the european union, you have a divided country but you also have this, notjust in the conservative party, but in the main opposition labor party, the sense that the two main parties — control of them has gone to people who, for actually decades have been on th

to get ready for a no—deal brexit. 0nly do it. to get ready for a no—deal brexit.to action tomorrow, today the news channel is in birmingham where we're gauging the mood of the city which narrowly voted for the uk to leave the eu in 2016. ijoins us from there. yes, birmingham is home to the second largest polish expat community in the uk. joining me is the founder and director of the polish expat association here. how are polish people here generally feeling about the political process right now, and the political process right now, and the continuing uncertainty?” the political process right now, and the continuing uncertainty? i think people are anxious since the brexit referendum, and uncertainty is not happening. —— is not helping. people are still not sure what is going to happen. 0ur are still not sure what is going to happen. our people going to lose their rights and the state is going to change, but what in practical terms that is going to mean, we are still not quite sure. what is happening with people's applications for settled status? are people going th

does that stop a no—deal brexit? that copper bottoms? does that stop a no-deal brexit?eral election, we win it and then you repeal that piece of legislation. whether that can happen for the 17th of october... maybe this is glossed over. the prior minister went to berlin and paris and he did the unthinkable, he got the freedom to reopen some of the doors that were shut in front of mine. brussels has said there are no negotiations with meaningful change being put forward by the uk government. the prior minister was asked this today. it's clear that it isn't being done in public in the way it was before, which i think is a good thing. representative david frost is going there. i was enthused by the fact that there are thoughts to bring the deal back to parliament and making sure that my side, the brexiteers, have thwarted their withdrawal agreement going through three times, they will be treated in the same way as my colleagues who lost the whip this week. thank you. the view from the conservative side, what's been going on, the repercussions of what happened last night wi

so, for now, brexit ready, yes? brexit ready, yes. yeah, bring it on. can we have a go?sed and unprepared, help is at hand. a new online questionnaire generates a compa ny—specific list of things you need to do. tea merchant ricky qatari filled it out and we looked at the results. set up a duty deferment account to pay your customs duty. do you have one of those? no. no? duty deferment account? do you even know what that is? no. me neither. in total, there were 25 steps ricky needs to take to prepare. some of which the government's website says will take more than four weeks. time ricky would rather spend in other ways. it's quite scary. the amount of items i've got to look at or potentially employ someone to now work with me on to get these things all resolved in time. we are busy with trade shows and meeting clients, trying to continue with the business. i think this is going to take some time to really go through. so some businesses here say they've done all they can, others say they feel very underprepared. most of them, frankly, don't know whether they are prepared

and those who want a softer brexit and those who want a softer brexit or no brexit.the party. clearly, we have now come to the explosion point and the question is, is this a conservative party that is in effect going to be a shadow of the brexit party? can it remain a broad church? there must be real questions now in this poisonous at br as to whether it can be a broad judge because we are seeing many of the people who will keep it broad leaving and saying, we are not standing again, or even saying we are even no longer conservatives. the decision that boris doesn't hesitate, the logic of his position as he is taking the party to the right to become something that can really ta ke right to become something that can really take on the brexit party on that part of the argument. but that isa that part of the argument. but that is a tough decision. when you are sitting alone in downing street around the corner in the dead of night, you have to decide can the party do that? the traditional history of the conservative party, it has never won an election coming from the ext

because we want no brexit for good. we want to stop this prime minister and most importantly, we want to give the people a say. their choice to decide their own future. however, mr. speaker, we will be part of the prime minister's game and allow the prime minister to use an election to force a no deal brexit through the back door. does notpose the s&p trump the prime minister. his contempt for democracy and his government's broken promises to the people of scotland. we cannot trust that he will allow this bill to pass and remove the cliff edge for election. other opposition parties. tonight, we will not give the prime minister the opportunity to bring in a no deal through the back door. but we cannot allow a government that has lost its majority, that does not command the house, that has treated us country with contempt, that has made an offer for one more day longer. the prime minister is going to shut this parliament down so he can spend four weeks running the club down. we could instead use that time to run him out o

, not stopping brexit, but preventing a no deal brexit, but preventing a no deal brexit, because of thewould jeopardise that by being so tribal about things to risk a general election before we make sure we have got it, which is october the 315t, it is very sad. we have got it, which is october the 31st, it is very sad. this would be an example of the snp putting party before country. it would be in the liberal democrats interest at the moment to have a general election. he pulls are very good for us. we would love to take on the tories. in places like st albans for instance. we think this is not the right time. we think this is not the right time. we need to lock in this extension to the 31st of january and by all means afterwards let's go for a general election. the likelihood of getting a general election after that time... argue putting before country? no. we are trying to do everything we can to go against no deal and we have worked cross—party. this is an illustration of people who are broadly speaking have similar views about brexit and no deal brexit not agreeing on a really cru

and it was clear that the strategy and the tactic was, let's out brexit the brexit party.than he does. if we do this and if we say, we will die does. if we do this and if we say, we willdie in does. if we do this and if we say, we will die in a ditch and we will do ordie and we will die in a ditch and we will do or die and will leave on the 31st of october it's really simple because what will happen is all those voters who supported the brexit party will all come and support the conservative party. that is what they thought. but here we are. and what they find is the brexit party are rock solid in the opinion polls and we are not going down. applause. and the reason for that is we just don't trust the party that tells us over and over what it will do, promises things in manifestos actually often without the intention of ever delivering them, i think. the reason brexit party voters will not go back en masse, it's very simple, wejust not go back en masse, it's very simple, we just don't trust the conservative party. it's as simple as that. simple as that. but equally, equall

it is not brexit. it is not necessarily dead. 15% is the amount of support nigel for archers commanded for a long time, and it is for voters that borisjohnson long time, and it is for voters that boris johnson cannot meet, long time, and it is for voters that borisjohnson cannot meet, people who have not voted before, people who have not voted before, people who will not lead the conservative party gathered. you are saying you don't want to see borisjohnson getting a deal through the last minute because it is basically a choice of that or no brexit. if we leave with a deal, it is not what you want, but if there is an election after that, your party is dead? not necessarily. people keep forgetting that the withdrawal agreement isjust forgetting that the withdrawal agreement is just that, it is nothing to do with the future relationship of the political declaration. that, leaving without a deal is only the beginning of the process , deal is only the beginning of the process, so actually the brexit party

break brexit. if we go out with the screen break brexit, it will not bring this to and entitled. —— with this clean break brexit. the single biggest issue facing the uk government and 1st of november will be doing a trade deal with the people we have walked out on, that will be indispensable to the country's economic well— being, national security and our future. it will probably take up the next five or six years. he should forget about this idea that somehow it is a little bit of trauma and on the 2nd of november it is a new world. he will get ten years of trauma and i am not prepared to sign up to that. keith says the remainers are taking the action they are now to prevent a no deal because they realise that borisjohnson is likely no deal because they realise that boris johnson is likely to no deal because they realise that borisjohnson is likely to get a good deal, which is the absolute last thing they want, which is true, you voted against theresa may's deal three times. you want to stay. but

the party has voted to change its policy on brexit. article 50, the cause under the lisbon treaty that allows member nations to leave the european union. there never used to bea the european union. there never used to be a system for doing that. it would revoke article 50, effectively cancelling the application to leave the european union, but that is dependent on there being a liberal democrat government at the next general election. a motion calling on the party to campaign to stop brexit as an unequivocal mandate in the general election is out is being described. we can speak to political correspond jonathan in bournemouth. you predicted this was likely to go through but it didn't go through without some reservations being expressed by some party members. lively debate in the conference hall here in bournemouth this morning. most speakers were overwhelmingly in favour of this motion, which looks to change the liberal democrat party policy to campaign in a general election to revoke article 50 and cancel brexit if the party were to w

whole brexit issue.a no—deal brexit is just the beginning of many further years of negotiations. if people really want an end to this brexit meyer, the way to do that is to stop brexit —— mire. igive to do that is to stop brexit —— mire. i give way. the guardian, of which i am an avid reader, said the lib dems are poised to back the revoking of article 50 entirely. is that correct? the honourable gentleman cannot be surprised that the liberal democrats are a party that wishes to stop brexit. and in a general election, where we will stand to secure a liberal —— liberal democrat majority, such a majority government would revoke article 50. ido government would revoke article 50. i do not think he should be surprised by that position. perhaps he should pay more attention. but this government and this prime minister have no mandate for a no—deal brexit that they are trying to force on the british people. it is clear, also, from the resignations of the right honourable members, that he has no plans for securi

he advises the market on brexit issues.does the flower trade tell us? 80% of the flowers that we see here were bought on the amsterdam exchange, probably by about ten o'clock yesterday morning. they would have arrived here at three o'clock this morning, and by 11 o'clock today, or 12 o'clock today, they would be out and distributed to shops across wales and the west midlands. so if you eat into that delivery time and add an extra 2a or 36 hours into it, that will cut into margins, probably inflate prices, but also affect the quality of the stock on sale. back to food, trader steven waters is with me. steven, tell me about the fish you've got here, where it's from? scottish salmon, hake, and monkfish from scotland. mostly uk fish then, here today? in the fresh variety. and what is brexit, as far as you can predict at the moment, going to mean for business? as far as the fishing industry is concerned in the uk, very little change short—term. on a more long—term basis, i'm hopeful that some of the fish from further afield, fro

eight no—deal brexit, boris johnson made it just about eight no—deal brexit, borisjohnson made it a littleust be hard line against what they are calling a tory no deal. i do not know if you remember last week, jeremy corbyn cold it a banker is no deal. it defies logic because you will not find a single banker in the city of london who is in favour of no—deal brexit, they want to maintain access, but whatever it ta kes, maintain access, but whatever it takes, jeremy corbyn is closer to being part of that remain camp than he has been that there are still lots of his mps, and people like len mccluskey, who would think very hard if it came to writing a general election manifesto, to suggest that in the end the labour party would go back and somehow secure a better deal and therefore be able to progress with brexit. the danger of thatis progress with brexit. the danger of that is that if there was an election, labour might still find itself disappointing the levers and disappointing that remainers, and leaving the field open for the liberal democrats, snp, who have been much clearer all along t

and keith parry is a floating brexit voter who would be happy with a no—deal brexit.8. how about having a referendum for all those young people whose future we will be affecting in the future? what about a referendum where you have either no deal or remain? would you prefer a referendum than a general election? at the moment, i think the referendum is really important because it muddies the waters with all the other things the political parties want to talk about in a general election. i would like a referendum first, followed by a general election. has anyone got a question to put to the politicians? what is the labour policy, if they got into power, in terms of negotiating a deal? it is a bit above my pay grade to dictate labour party policy, but what the likes of me will be putting and have already put tojeremy me will be putting and have already put to jeremy corbyn and the leadership is that if it is labour in charge, we need to negotiate a very close and cooperative and collaborative relationship with european partners, partners we have shared values with. we ha

, the brexit the public are going to get is not the brexit they were promised.o not think that is acceptable and that is why i think that brexit should be taken back to the public in a peoples vote in a final say. and i still strongly believe that. and the liberal democrats have been the party that have backed that approach longest. vicki young is in the central lobby in the houses of parliament. what is happening in the commons in the next few minutes because mps will vote on whether to take control of the comms agenda to block a no—deal brexit? of the comms agenda to block a no-deal brexit? they're currently finishing a statement from education secretary about funding for schools and then they will move on to this emergency debate. it is called 5021! and normally is used for an emergency if a party wants to talk about something which they have not been given notice of but on this occasion it is going to be a bit more meaningful because there will be about attached to that and that could mean if the government is defeated that mps, backbench mps will take over

it is about stopping brexit.union on a no deal basis. that is what we are seeking to achieve. yes, of course, we want to achieve. yes, of course, we want to make sure that the people of scotla nd to make sure that the people of scotland who have voted heavily to stay in the european union, that our rights are respected. i absolutely understand that it is up to politicians in england, wales and northern ireland to make the case for remaining. it is a pointless delay. it is not a pointless delay, because the government itself has told us there is a risk to jobs, that there is a risk to the food supply, that there is a risk to the food supply, rescue medicines, even a risk in certain circumstances to life. will change between now and january? well, we need to find a solution to this. if we can make sure we remove no deal, i want to have that election that we can go to the people and we can make sure that we put that case that we should not be leaving on a no deal basis. parliamentarians are not going to be able to b

unsurprisingly his remarks were dominated by brexit.ed in the last few weeks the chances of an eu deal had risen — but that would be jeopardised by the bill that opposition and rebel tories planned to put forward to extend the brexit deadline. but labour said there was no sign that the government had put forward any new ideas. whilst the conservative philip lee caused a stir in the chamber when he walked in with two lib dem mps — and took up his seat next tojo swinson — a very public announcement of his defection to her party and a move that wiped out boris johnson's commons majority. the longest serving mp — the father of the house — summed up what he said was borisjohnson‘s strategy. to set conditions which make no deal inevitable, to make sure that as much blame as possible is attached to the eu and to this house for that consequence, and then as quickly as he can hype a flag—waving general election before the consequences of no deal become too obvious to the public. but borisjohnson insisted the bill to extend the brexit deadline wo
