chris mason is at westminster. chris, are we any clear on what the cabinet has agreed on this?e are not. 0r shouldn't be that surprised that there are disagreements around the cabinet table. the referendum was something that divided the country, it divided parties and it divided the cabinet. from the prime minister's perspective it is much harder to ensure that, publicly, they say the same things, because after she mislaid her majority her authority has shrivelled. this is a discussion now about what exactly a transitional period immediacy after brexit looks like. there are clearly disagreements in the cabinet. but ta ke disagreements in the cabinet. but take a look at the labour party and there are disagreements over brexit there. they have been disagreeing with one another for months on end. meanwhile, the clock continues to tick down, one year and eight months, just under 600 days until brexit, the end of march, 2019. chris, thank you. to venezuela, where polls will soon close in a controversial election to choose a new parliament, which will have the power to rewrite the co

our political correspondent chris mason joins us now from westminster. good morning, chris.ning, chris. this is seeming to be a thing attack from all sides here? 360 degrees of scrutiny for the government on its blueprint for brexit, outlined yesterday in the european union withdrawal bill, the repeal bill, the big cut and paste exercise where all of those laws the uk signed up to as part of being a member of the european union get cut and pasted, so on our first day outside the eu there are still laws covering all the areas the eu up to now has been power to set laws on. but also some controversy about that process. as you were saying, concern from the scottish and welsh governments, concern from labour and some conservatives about exactly how it might work. concern from others about the lack of opportunity to scrutinise some of the changes because of how much has to happen so quickly. one remark i will bring you from a labour peer, lord adonis, gives you a sense of the heightened language about this. he compares leaving the economic institutions of the eu, the single marke

well our political correspondent, chris mason, told me a little more about how mr fox sees the timetablelding. what he's talking about here is the medium term, this desire and there was agreement about this amongst senior ministers for transitional period so a period immediately after brexit, the end of march 2019 when the uk is outside the european union but hangs on to elements associated with membership but the disagreement emerges over exactly what the transitional period looks like, which elements of membership are held on sea. the chancellor on friday was talking about how not a lot to change, things would be very similar the day after brexit, he emphasised he wanted to see the continuing free movement of goods but with that could come if the eu insists with an arrangement where people can continue to come and go pretty much as they please between the uk and the eu. liam fox is arguing hang on, lots of people voted brexit cos they wanted something done about immigration and if the day after things look pretty much identical then some will feel betrayed. there was not meant over tha

to do in the event that britain fails to strike a deal with the eu. 0ur political correspondent chris masoncolourful language here, chris. yes, indeed. boris johnson is the chief diplomat as the foreign secretary, and we use to him using colourful language on his poncho for dashing the odd splash for colourful vocabulary around. if there was a diplomat‘s dictionary, there will be plenty of words in there, but not the ones he decided to use in the commons in the last hour. the sums that i have seen that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be extortionate, and i think "to go whistle" is an entirely appropriate expression. there was no plan to no deal. you may remember that the prime minister to the general election campaign said that no deal was better than a bad deal when it came to the brexit negotiations. borisjohnson offering an alternative perspective on that. and disputing a suggestion from labour that the chancellor and the first secretary of state were the view that there could be a long period after brexit where the remained under the remit of the european court of

deliver on the priorities she spoke of when she took office a year ago. 0ur political correspondent chris masonexpect. i think we can expect that no—one behind that your will describe this speech on tuesday as a relaunch and i think there is a sense that after the commotion and turbulence of the last few months that voluntarily called election by the prime minister in which she slipped backwards that she wants to project a sense of getting on with the job. all the turbulence and all of the headlines continued to of gossip amongst conservative mps, which one cabinet minister today had to dismiss as a result of conservatives having too much press echo in the warm sunshine, the theresa may has to prove that she can lead. but the simple reality is that with that shrivelled majority, governing will be difficult. the headlines on bbc news: the iraqi prime minister says the city of mosul has been liberated from the islamic state group. the parents of terminally ill infant charlie gard deliver a petition to great ormond street hospital, calling on them to let him go to the us for experimental treatment

well, to discuss all this i'm joined by our political correspondent chris mason. to the programme. on the face of it, this all sounds very technical. you're turning eu law into uk law. so why is it so controversial? the fact that it's so technical is what makes it controversial because the government is very aware that it's got a tight timetable for doing what it's doing. one element of this cut and paste job, of laws coming from brussels back to the uk, involves the government examining the detail of those laws and where they need to tweak, for instance if a particular sector is being governed by a european regulator and will in future be governed by a uk regulator, there has to be that change in legislation to make sure there is no black holes and the law. but in doing that via secondary legislation, what i call statutory instruments... these are ministerial powers. yeah, ministerial powers that then critics on the opposition benches are saying, well, hang on a minute, that's the problem. these are ministerial powers, the so—called henry viii law, which means th

our political correspondent, chris mason joins us — chris, are we expecting any agreement to be announcedtion. i cannot give you a direct answer because we are not 100% certain. what we do know is that david davis, the brexit secretary, is travelling back to brussels today. he was there earlier this week and in between many british officials have been involved in negotiations with the eu opposite numbers. when i called the brexit department last night for an a nswer to brexit department last night for an answer to the question i anticipated you would ask me, my pen was poised above a blank page on my notebook but it is still as naked as a newborn after the conversation ended another drop of input was used. they acknowledged they simply did not know. now with all of this briefing going on within the government over the last ten days they may argue that keeping quite a tight lid on what they hope to announce, possibly ata what they hope to announce, possibly at a news conference this afternoon, as up to being a good thing. what it does not add up to is giving me anything new to tell you thi

we're joined from westminster by our political correspondent chris mason. the background of this, what does it mean? it all boils down to a row about where money goes in terms of railway investment. for those who stand up for the north of england are being let down in terms of comparison to london. there was a proposed new london. there was a proposed new london to south railway, but it would not be finished until two to -- 2000 23. a would not be finished until two to —— 2000 23. a discussion around cancelling rail electrification projects in the midlands and the lack district, that has also led those who stand up for the north of england are less than chuffed. those who stand up for the north of england are less than chuffedlj would love to have seen chris grayling stand up in parliament and bring this up. if he had had on that, i think there would have been uproar. where i will go now with this is to contact greater manchester mps and other mp5 across the north. while this might be the government's view, that it can cancel schemes out of london and give

be achieved without putting undue pressure on the public finances. 0ur political correspondent chris masonor pay should be edging up by more than that cap. this is the history on public sector pat’- this is the history on public sector pay. there was a freeze imposed back in 2011. a couple of years later, 2013, that became a 1% pay cap, and if that was to stay in place for another couple of years until 2019, the purchasing power, the clout, the power of the penny in your pocket, to buy stuff in the shops as a public sector worker, would be the same ina public sector worker, would be the same in a couple of years' time as it was in 2005. after the crash in 2008 private sector paid to the hit as well, but recently private sector pay has been rising, so that coupled with the ear—bashing tory mps got from some public sector workers on the door campaign at the general election, saying this had to change, it means you are seeing more and more conservatives saying things have to change. the public sector pay review bodies who recommend what should happen to public sector pay, they come up with th

will be some time" before full migration controls can be introduced. 0ur political correspondent chris mason yet another division being exposed over brexit? yeah. there is one year and eight months to go until the uk leads the european union. the discussion that has been going on within government in the last few weeks is exactly what happens the day after, in other words in april 2019. and there is an agreement that there needs to be a transitional arrangement. in other words, the uk is outside the european union, but it hangs onto some elements that are associated with membership. but then comes the disagreement. which bits, and what is the balance, particularly the balance between access to european markets for trade and the whole business of immigration? so we have seen liam fox, in an interview with the sunday times, emphasised that the sunday times, emphasised that the idea of brexit, for many people, the idea of brexit, for many people, the motivation in voting to leave the motivation in voting to leave the european union was having something done about immigration. then you get other

let's get some more details from our political correspondent chris mason, who is in westminster for uslots of talk about whether or not farmers should be getting the eu farming subsidies that they get, and the terms in which they receive them, and that is what is addressed now? yes, it is a very huge issue. we hear a lot in the context of brexit, rows about the context of brexit, rows about the economy and immigration, and whether there will be a transitional arrangement after we leave the eu. the impact on agriculture and the environment is potentially absolutely massive. the figures are huge. around £3 billion is currently received every year in eu subsidies to farmers, around half of their income. this is the first big speech by the environment secretary, michael gove. he says he doesn't wa nt to michael gove. he says he doesn't want to see a situation where farmers get money pretty much in proportion to how much land they have. he says that there has to be a correlation with the environmental work that they do as well. he will also say he wants to see what he sees as a green brexit

johnny is now is chris mason. —— joining us now.hat they see that as a power grab by westminster because they say that powers are not being transferred quickly enough in areas where they currently have control, that they think should be coming their way as a result of some power is coming back from westminster and in their few getting stuck here rather than going to cardiff and edinburgh. now, scotla nd going to cardiff and edinburgh. now, scotland and wales cannot veto brexit, but they can certainly make it awkward because under what is known as legislative consent motion is -- known as legislative consent motion is —— motions, they can in that sense register their opposition and have a say in the westminster government‘s brexit plans. have a say in the westminster government's brexit plans. and so we have accusations from pro—brexit government ministers saying that the devolved parties or the parties from the devolved administrations are trying to thwart the will of the people, and it becomes increasingly, but if between those par

here's our political correspondent, chris mason. vicki young, at westminster. they have all decided they are going to speak out and that is a reflection of a lack of authority for the prime minister, having lost that majority it now feels like cabinet ministers feel they can speak out about this kind of thing and are trying to put pressure on philip hammond, who has talked before about the country having to live within its means. he thinks thatis live within its means. he thinks that is still the case and i think his message to them would be if you wa nt his message to them would be if you want this, you have to explain how you will pay for it through tax rises, which aren't popular. to discuss this further, i'm joined by the conservative mp, stephen crabb. it's extraordinary, isn't it? cabinet ministers fighting to get on the airwaves to tell us what they think is going on. but stop —— that's not very eloquent. people up and down the country were telling us about the pressures they feel under, working under front line public servic

chris mason is in westminster for us and, chris, the whole issue of business very much the order of theeir perspective, you can see why it is a case they would make, around ensuring there is some sense of what is going to happen at that point where the uk leaves the european union in march 2019. the challenge for the government, and they want to make it sound as soothing as they can in the direction of business as well as everyone else, is that nobody knows at this stage, either here at westminster or in brussels, where the negotiations that are still at the early stage up the completion of the second round yesterday are going to end up by that point. so what we are now getting is a discussion and the hardening of a view within the cabinet that they should be some sort of transitional deal after march 2019, some sort of situation where the uk is outside of the european union but some elements of our membership continue until a fixed date in the future, that that will happen, or at least it is something the british government would want to see happen. crucially, what we don't know explic
