we have moved to the next vote which is an amendment from chuka umunna which forms a central pa rt chukaorms a central part of the queen's speech, he is calling for all options to be left on the table. he is unhappy that the government has ruled out staying in the single market before negotiations get under way and unhappy about leaving the customs union. what is interesting is that the labour party position is to abstain on this amendment, not to vote either way. we are looking for how many mps decide to join with chuka umunna. iwould how many mps decide to join with chuka umunna. i would expect the liberal democrats, the snp, the greens, plaid cymru, and some labour mps to go againstjeremy corbyn. greens, plaid cymru, and some labour mps to go against jeremy corbyn. we will be back when the vote ends in about 15 minutes. the judge who is to lead the inquiry into the grenfell tower tragedy has promised to leave no stone unturned as he tries to get to the truth of what happened. sir martin moore—bick, a retired appeal courtjudge, has been asked by the prime minister to produce an interim

what does the sackings of these shadow cabinet ministers byjeremy corbyn for voting for chuka umunnay corbyn's position? it chose his authority and confident after a better than expected labour campaign. previously, we have seen a lot of umming and ahhing about whether critical backbenchers should stay onside or not. within minutes of the vote, we were told they had been sacked and a couple stepped down after an accord. but his talent is, how do you get labour into a unified position when most labour mps wanted to stay in the eu last year and a third of their voters backed brexit? how do you keep all parts of your party ha p py how do you keep all parts of your party happy when there are these very obvious divisions? the labour manifesto was a well constructed piece of fudge on brexit that tried to have it both ways, saying we will have all the benefits of the single market and the customs union, but we will also control migration. nobody in labourwas able will also control migration. nobody in labour was able to explain how to square that circle. if you go one way, you might protect

chuka umunna, istart chuka umunna, i start with you, brexit clearly the major part of the queen's speechr of the huge amount of work to come in the next two years? absolutely. eight of the 2a bales presented will touch on brexit. it'll have a fundamental impact on the lives of sending your viewers. notjust in the point of view of jobs and livelihoods, but the extent to which we can advance social justice with our european counterparts. i'm arguing for that. i don't think it was just staked on brexit, because there is a huge domestic policy beyond brexit, we have the biggest gaps between rich and bob rae in the advanced world. people can't access the basics of housing and rent to buy. this is also going to be a focus of parliament is going forward. one of the exciting things is that this could be a golden age of parliament, because of the arithmetic implies, we have a minority government in place for the first time in years. every single vote in the comments will count, and the vote of every single mp will count in the way it didn't before. we as members of parliament have an influence wo

chuka umunna standing here saying we must stay in the single market a few hours ago and that was not deal but the chancellor said on sunday when asked about no deal, that it would be a very, very bad outcome for britain. i think he‘s right and if you‘re going to achieve tariff and barrier free trade which asjohn knows was the number one request put to us during our hearings, it is the policy of the it‘s also the policy of the labour party to ensure that. the quickest way to do that is to remain within the customs union and it deals with the customs union and it deals with the problem in northern ireland. i think what this election result which is not just think what this election result which is notjust taking away the prime minister‘s majority but also her authority, it means parliament will determine the brexit we have andi will determine the brexit we have and i think the idea we will leave without a deal is dead and buried. john whittingdale, in terms of where it goes from here, the prime minister is going to face a struggle pretty much with every vote you will see in house of co

chuka umunna's amendment is interesting. 322 mps voted against it, 101 voted for.as that the government should remain or britain should remain within the single market. only 49 labour mps voted for it. does that definitively say that labour is coming out of the single market? we recognise that membership of the single market creates a difficulty because of the issue of free movement because you cannot control free movement if you are in the single market. a policy on which we fought the election was to say we wish to retain the benefits of the single market and of the customs union. if the reference to the single market had not been in the amendment you would have seen a different outcome. what today and since the election demonstrates is that the government no longer controls the kind of agreement that parliament in the end is going to decide to sign up to and we have seen open decide to sign up to and we have seen open dissent in theresa may's cabinet between brexit secretary and the chancellor of the exchequer because firstly the prime minister knows the idea of

that's right, we had an amendment put down by chuka umunna, another backbencher on the labour party.ip of the single market once britain leads the european union. there were a significant number of rebellions on the labour side, because jeremy corbyn had ordered his mps to abstain from that vote he didn't wa nt abstain from that vote he didn't want them to vote for it or against it, he said you must all abstain. but there were a number of labour mps who voted with that amendment, in support of that amendment, including some on the front bench team. asa including some on the front bench team. as a result of that, they have this evening been sacked. three shadow ministers catherine west brom andy slaughter and ruth cadbury, they were immediately sacked, we're told, and a third member daniel zeitler, who quit his role before the vote took place. i think what that shows is brexit is going to be causing all sorts of issues, not just that the governments and the conservative party and their backbenchers, but forjeremy corbyn and his backbenchers as well. yes, we now have four holes on

rachel, how united is labour on brexit, the major issue, of easily, still some confusion, chuka umunnaing on? the labour party is no more disunited on brexit than any other party, obviously it is an issue that has thrown the entire political spectrum into uncertainty. but there is a very clear difference in the offer that the labour party has, with regards brexit. that is another thing that engage with people on the doorstep, they are the party that is trusted to deliver a brexit that for the majority of the population rather than a tiny elite. they are trusted with delivering a brexit that will put people's lives and economies first, ina put people's lives and economies first, in a way that the conservative government, now that they have this image of being for they have this image of being for the few, for the elite, serving rich people, not really having a vision for how this country can get out of the recession that it is mired in, labour's brexit proposal is gaining traction. we are out of time, thank you very much forjoining us. plenty more to come a little later on. back to you,

then you have a whole bunch of them from chuka umunna and all the rest saying, no, no, no, we still want debates. but i do believe we will make progress. and it will bind us all into uk law. and meanwhile the negotiations in brussels will continue and hopefully we will get the point where we a good arrangement trade deal and we can leave as good friends, trading and cooperating. not the queen's speech you would have wanted to have delivered if you'd known before the election, and of course, nothing that appeared in the tory manifesto, pretty much. it was filleted, the manifesto, wasn't it? so, do you have a mandate, do you think, on those issues? you say filleted. actually, there is a slight difference. example, social care. we are bringing forward a consultation process, like the green paper, to actually ask parties to decide together. that is in the long grass, isn't it? it's not, really, no. because i think this is a priority for us. the problem has been that political parties, both labour and conservative, have played games with this. i own up to that and so today. this may be an opp

thank you, chuka umunna.atives have the largest number of seats and they have a duty to do the best for britain when it comes to brexit." sean says, "i wish labour won. it would have been interesting to see their faces realising they had to deliver their ma nifesto. " realising they had to deliver their manifesto." realising they had to deliver their manifesto. " small chuckle realising they had to deliver their manifesto." small chuckle here from voters, including labour voters. vor viewer says, "jeremy corbyn and his coalition would actually represent more of the uk population. they also seem more sta ble population. they also seem more stable and consistent than the conservatives and dup together." wherever you are in the uk, let me know, what do you want to see happen next? right, let's bring you the weather. here is carol. this morning it was a chilly start. there is a lot of cloud around and some showers. the strongest winds across central and southern scotland and northern england. here we have got gus

we have heard from the likes of chuka umunna who said he would not be presumptuous to assume he would to assume he would be asked to take up a front bench position but certainly would consider it. also owen smith, who challenged jeremy corbyn last summer to that leadership battle, he said, i take my hat off tojeremy corbyn, if we could bottle up what he has and drink it we would all be in a better position, so there is no suggestion thatjeremy corbyn faces any particular backbiting from his own mps. that said, if there were to be another general election, if labour do indeed want to get a majority, i think there is probably an assumption within some of those mps who struggled withjeremy corbyn last year that there does need to be more done to reach out to some of those tory voters, it is after all tory voters who would need to be won over if a majority was to be won, but certainly for the momentjeremy corbyn‘s position is very safe. thank you for that, ellie price. we were talking about points of difference between the dup and theresa may, and one of those points of difference is, if

bring back into the fold some of those labour mps, the fold some of those labour mps, the likes of chuka umunnaame leader? yes, i think he wants to do that and i think he wants to do that and i think he's in a strong enough position to be able to do that, without undermining his own authority. i expect to see several of them come back to the cabinet. as quite a turnaround. yes, but a lot of people underestimatejeremy corbyn‘s popular appeal. they have to a cce pt corbyn‘s popular appeal. they have to accept that he wasn't the vote loser bay and i thought he was. he is any good position to try and build alliances with the mainstream of the party, which he needs to do in order to have any hope of increasing labour's vote time. nobody is in a rush to have another general election soon. except jeremy corbyn, who says his party is ready for another election in the summer oi’ for another election in the summer or possibly early next year. we may perhaps see some of those moves to bring some people back into his front bench fairly soon. yes, and we saw ina front bench fairly soon. yes, and we saw in a

chuka umunna is a labour mp who campaigned to remain in the eu.rexit publication. he thinks we should leave the single market and the customs union. chuka umunna first of all, do we actually have a real choice at this stage? philip hammond says we are leaving the eu. we will be leaving the single market, we will leave the customs union, the negotiations are beginning? well, i don't think you need to take the best option off the table at the start of negotiations which is to remain a member of the single market and to remain a member of the customs union all it with us being outside of the european union. to put it in context for your viewers, turkey is part of the customs union, but not part of the european union. norway is part of the single market, but not part of the single market, but not part of the european union. why does this matter? it matters for people's jobs, we know that single market delivers lots of jobs, jobs, we know that single market delivers lots ofjobs, but also, if we wa nt delivers lots ofjobs, but also, if we want to end se

chuka umunna about an hour ago said we need to stay in a single market. where is the unity there?”hing for the last year, during my time as shadow foreign secretary, we have a 6—point test that is agreed. we have a subcommittee that doesn't have arguments. we understand where we are going. safety and security of our citizens is primary and then the economy. the public said he wanted to leave the european union, and we need to make sure any other decisions made are made in the light of what is best for the economy. that's our principal and that has been our guiding light. some tories are starting to sound more like that. interestingly, philip arend sounds more like labour as time goes on. “— sounds more like labour as time goes on. —— philip hammond. but he doesn't speak for the rest of the tory party. we are clear on where we stand. there is disagreement on whether we stay in the single market or not, but we as the leadership have made it clear that if we are leaving the european union... but disagreement on such an important issueis disagreement on such an important issue is a pro

slaughter, catherine west and ruth cadbury had supported the challenge made by another labour mp chuka umunnat is going on within the labour party and within parliament on the whole issue of brexit and what gets through?” think this lays bare the divisions in the labour party over its approach to brexit. we have long known the tories are divided over the eu which is usually what we talk about but now we are seeing the differences in labour and they are subtle. as you say, this amendment was about staying in the single market whereas labour‘s official position is about having all the benefits of the single market. su btle benefits of the single market. subtle but important. as you say, a number of mps voted againstjeremy corbyn‘s instructions and backed the amendment and we had those sackings and one resignation as a consequence. what is interesting is howjeremy corbyn has handled it because we know he has been used to dissenting voices among his own mps ever since he took over as labour leader, really. lots of the parliamentarians in the labour party don‘t necessarily agree with all his views

they say this was a vanity vote by chuka umunna that handed a gift to brexiteers, who say look at thesay, why did he have to table this amendment when the official labour one called on the government to negotiate the exact same benefit on the customs union and single market. but they are defiant, saying their tactics today were about putting pressure on the labour leadership to go one step further and agree with them that the uk should remain in the customs union and single market. 0k. interesting day for labour. what about the tories? it was a pretty fine margin to get your queen's speech through. as you say, the magic number for theresa may is 14. that's the majority she had in the final vote that established and entrenched her government. that's what she got after her deal with the dup. i spoke to one senior tory who said to me, that's hardly a respectable majority but it is a workable one and the government can carry on. but the rapid move and announcement by the government that it would fund abortions in england for women from northern ireland illustrates a crucial point about th
