what is your hotline like tojeremy corbyn? scepticism about his commitment to a second referendum. what is the policy behind that? the second referendum, i'll be having a definite line to say we are definitely going to go and that is that? -- definitely going to go and that is that? —— our way. definitely going to go and that is that? —— ourway. we definitely going to go and that is that? —— our way. we have lots of demonstrations outside parliament, it has become toxic and personal and so we it has become toxic and personal and so we have got to be careful, because it has taken so much time. and also for me personally there is also domestic bills which are being pushed further back. second referendum, is that the magic bullet to create the harmony between parties? i don't think so. you are right. i voted parties? i don't think so. you are right. ivoted remain parties? i don't think so. you are right. i voted remain but i'm worried about extending the process and increasing the levels of toxicity in the debate, i find it very

whetherjeremy corbyn is prepared to ta ke whetherjeremy corbyn is prepared to take it up.been interesting to see the different responses since those labour mps resigned last week. jeremy corbyn has not looked to dwell on it and issued a brief response, saying he was disappointed they had resigned and he regretted it. contrast that with the calling for them to face by lectures, and contrast that to the words we have heard from tom watson this morning, calling this a crisis for the soul of the labour party. he said last week it was a moment of regret and a moment for people to reflect, a real senseit moment for people to reflect, a real sense it is a big problem that is labour mps have gone. it is extraordinary for a deputy leader of a party to make what was quite a clear challenge to the leader of the party, to say, you need to be stepping up here to do more to personally tackle the problem of anti—semitism. ifjeremy corbyn wa nts to anti—semitism. ifjeremy corbyn wants to be prime minister, he needs to do this. he is effectively telling him what to do. presumably the relat

and jeremy corbyn? was a disastrous tory brexit or remaining, thenjeremy corbyn would campaign to remain. some, though, suspect the announcement is designed to stem the flow of disgruntled mps from the party. most of those who left last week had been pushing for a so called trans. —— people's vote. with brexit day drawing closer, former colleagues think this is the right solution. the labour party and the conservatives have been divided on brexit. i think that this plan today starts to bring the labour party together. yes, let's go for a deal if you want to do that, but let's also have the option to remain, and you can only do that if you take this back to the british people and draw a line under this whole sorry saga. the campaign for a second referendum has attracted thousands to marches across the country, but for mps representing seats in the midlands, the north of england and parts of wales, there is concern that labour could be accused of betraying the will of millions of people. i have deep reser

and the evening standard, a bit of a split in the party sojeremy corbyn wrote a letter and said thate would consider backing theresa may's deal if she made five changes and some of those changes are huge and one of those changes are huge and one of thoseis those changes are huge and one of those is backing the customs union and staying with the single market. labour mps and staying with the single market. labourmps are unhappy and staying with the single market. labour mps are unhappy because they wa nt labour mps are unhappy because they wantjeremy labour mps are unhappy because they want jeremy corbyn to labour mps are unhappy because they wantjeremy corbyn to resist brexit outright and they cannot understand why he is even talking about going with theresa may's deal and some of them had said why would you try to facilitate a 20 brexit if you remember —— were a member of the labour party. they are so unhappy they are considering leaving the party after march which is what one labour mps party after march which is what one labourmps said party after march which is what one labour mp

this is the first time jeremy corbyn has come face—to—face with labour mps jeremy corbyn has come face—to—facemps en jeremy corbyn has come face—to—face with labour mps en masse since none of them have chosen to quit the party la st of them have chosen to quit the party last week. anti—semitism and as they see at his family to deal with it in his party was the overriding reason for their resigning, they also have frustrations about his party and the party policy on brexit. many labour mps were just not happy that although it has been officially labour party policy for some time to support a further referendum on britain's membership with the eu that he hasn't really shown much sign that he was personally willing to get through that and make it happen, that is why it is significant. we have seen for the first time jeremy corbyn setting out in black—and—white how and when he will come to support publicly and actively tried to make happen another public vote on britain's membership of the european union. he has been answering questions for the la st two has been answering questions for the last t

for example, jeremy corbyn was on the brink of retiring and keep bees had.o meet cuban leader, fidel castro, and was offered meat and abandoned his well— known castro, and was offered meat and abandoned his well—known vegetarian stamps. in the current political climate, it is everything to play for. if there was a sensational allegation, may be the other 19 pages we have not seen, but they think they would put it at the front. many thanks indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. you can see the front pages on the website. and if you miss the programme, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, nigel nelson and jo phillips. next, it is the film review. hello there and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases, we have mark kermode. what have you got in store for us this week, mark? something for everyone. we have the lego movie 2, i know you're a huge lego movie fan. we have if beale street could talk, the new film by barryjenkins. and alita — battle angel, fantasy set

this week both jeremy corbyn other people about this.ay have seen mps to search them for different reasons. for the conservatives, brexit is the issue threatening to tear them apart and the prime minister has another growing rebellion to deal with the head of crucial votes here next week. leave means leave! dozens of normally loyal conservative mps say they will not sit by and allow the uk to leave the eu without a deal and are threatening tojoin a the eu without a deal and are threatening to join a cross—party attempt on wednesday to take control of the brexit process. there is a perfect storm is emerging of people who want to overturn the result, which i think is outrageous, and people who want to deliver brexit, but who don't want a no—deal brexit. that alignment, they are being forced together by the intransigence of brexiteers, some of my fellow brexiteers, i think that's dangerous for those of us who want to deliver brexit, believe in it and want to deliver it on time. but eurosceptics deny they are jeopardising brexit by refusing

the metro says theresa may has rejected any prospect of a compromise with labour leaderjeremy corbynr brexit plans. but the times appears to see it rather differently — saying that the prime minister has "opened the door" to a soft brexit by engaging withjeremy corbyn on a customs union in a move that the paper says puts her at risk of losing the support of members of her cabinet. the financial times says that although theresa may has resisted the labour leader's calls for a full customs union — she has indicated her willingness to work with labour to break the brexit impasse. the daily express warns that one in three people live in an area with dangerously high levels of air pollution, according to new research. the i splashes on what it calls britain's hidden housing scandal — detailing squalid and dangerous conditions in properties occupied by low—income workers. the daily mail leads on reports of a growing cabinet revolt over the h52 rail link with ministers said to be alarmed over the project's spiralling costs. and the guardian features a picture of a beaming olivia colman afte

with the observer, which reports that some of labour's most influential figures are telling jeremy corbyno change his approach on issues including antisemitism and brexit. the sunday telegraph covers an editorial by the northern ireland secretary, in which he says that delaying britain's departure from the eu is an "elephant trap", that could kill off brexit altogether. the sunday express says the prime minister has been told to hold her nerve by the former brexit minister david jones and other prominent eurosceptics. in contrast, the sunday times says a vicious cabinet war has erupted over a plot by senior ministers to delay brexit. the mail on sunday alleges the former head of gchq quit his post after giving a character statement for a catholic priest later jailed for child sex offences. robert hannigan told the paper he had acted in good faith, but that subsequent criminal actions showed his judgement was "completely wrong." so, lots of politics all over the front pages, as you would expect. nicola, at sunday times suggesting that theresa may is going to come back to the commons once a

now, people would think mr corbyn, you're serious.ect to his other views, this guy did not do that. he did not grasp it and say, i'm going to really deal with this. then you get a situation here, where jeremy corbyn has not been anti—semitic in what he's done this time, but what he has done is tolerate a gesture of tolerance. i find that amazing about somebody who wants to say he's not anti—semitic. somebody who wants to say he's not anti-semitic. rachel briefly corbyn is hateful new low, because it claims that he tried to save chris williamson from being suspended, i don't know the truth of that. i mean, how many times doesjeremy corbyn have to say i'm not anti—semitic, and i don't support anti—semitism. to it to actually have an impact. nobody believes him. why don't they believe himmy cow next to the first thing to say is, i'm very critical of the handling of anti—semitism i'm very critical of the handling of anti-semitism but the first thing is to say that the party has half a million members, so as much as i would like it to be p

is mr corbyn listening to the likes of deputy leader tom watson?esterday was a very sad day both for other mps who are still within westminster but also right across the membership. we had a gi’oup across the membership. we had a group of mps who felt they could not stand on our policy platform, and a ma nifesto stand on our policy platform, and a manifesto set out in the 2017 general election which offered an agenda for transformation and hope and they all had various reasons as to why they could not do that. i know it was an agonising decision for many of them but i do not think it was right at a time when many communities are facing horrific policies like universal credit, rising crime, poverty on levels that even the un has called out as apparent. it was right for us to unify as a party, have discussions and disagreements behind closed doors, and we would expectjeremy to listen to that as our leader, and he does, but to make sure that for the rest of the world and the country that we put on a unified front and deliver the force for change that

ajeremy corbyn ma nifesto. the labour party. ajeremy corbyn manifesto. many within the existing labour party, continuing labour party, say they should put themselves up for by—election because they stood on a labour manifesto, and now they represent some different manifesto and they should go back and ask the people. that is a predictably tribal reaction, and really not very sensible, i think. reaction, and really not very sensible, ithink. we reaction, and really not very sensible, i think. we are in the middle of a national crisis with brexit. i think for a group of people to precipitate some mini general election around this move would be extraordinary self—indulgence at this stage. but it is for them to decide. it is their future. is that a degree of expediency on your part, because on a certain level, they agree with some of your views? that is very far from my thinking. i do feel that there is a good deal of scope for working with them, and potentially a larger group working with them, and potentially a largergroup in working with them, and potenti

jeremy corbyn in particular.behind it. there was a slight shift. he is not talking about getting the exact same and if it's of the single market, which they have had before in there, some are saying that as a slight watering down. the question is though the a lot of labour mps about what happens about another referendum, which is of course the policy that was thrashed out at the conference last year. i am joined by the labour mp peter kyle. you support the idea of another referendum, what do you make for the letter from jeremy corbyn? it doesn't mention that. it doesn't, but the problem i've got is that almost all of it refers to the political declaration. we know the eu thinks it is nebulous, winner michael fallon former tory cabinet ministers think it is vacuous. that is non—binding. nobody thinks theresa may will be prime minister ina year's theresa may will be prime minister in a year's time which means any political declaration is not binding. so what we need is to make sure we get something that is in fa ct

jeremy corbyn's option, relu cta ntly, happen.ption because otherwise we will be in this deadlock. you cut said he had brexit the tic and lots of people feel that. —— junker. we are jaded with it because it is so endless and futile. talk and talk and nothing seems to change. those in favour of brexit, you are in favour of brexit, could think if we don't back theresa may's deal before march 12, 13, it's going to before march 12, 13, it's going to be delayed, potentially the 21 months. there has been some speculation. michael lee's machinations unite the conservatives. i think she has to be clear, what she's come up with is very clear and delaying it has that problem. also she has to be very careful, as i've said. she hasn't got a majority in the house of commons. me, it's the other side. what are we saying, which could then have trepidation is something else. we don't want that. she is also good to be open. i suspect people haven't really gross that. helen and i will steer the year. you can leave never leave this debate. if you nee

i thinkjeremy corbyn has not taken it seriously enough. he truly thinks? when you've got the rabbi the leader of thejewish community saying... i know he said and things which are anti—semitic in east london, talking aboutjewish people not understanding irony, english irony as if they are somehow separate from the rest of us. i think he has said and done things which are completely unacceptable andi which are completely unacceptable and i think he isjust unable to deal with these things. he is allowed a culture of anti—semitism and extremism to develop and flourish and he's not got to grips with it. well, ian austin's resignation comes at the end of a busy week at westminster , in which eight other mps also left the labour party — they now make up the independent group — along with three former conservative mps — who defected from the conservative party on wednesday. here to discuss it all is chief political commentator at the independent, john rentoul and elinor goodman, the former political editor for channel four news — whojoins us from

jeremy corbyn will try and stop that.t rid of them because they are not on the same page as the leadership but there is that sense that there are potentially more labour resignations to come. on the other hand, the prime minister is getting warnings from her backbenchers, too, from a normally loyal group of conservatives who have backed her brexit plan so far, saying that if any reworked deal does not look like getting through parliament, then some of them will end up rebelling, too. potentially up to 30 or a0 conservative mps getting behind plans to try and take a no deal of the table and potentially some others getting behind the idea of a customs union. we have seen for months the effect brexit is having on party discipline at westminster but there is a sense that things could be about to get even more dramatic. thank you very much indeed. let's speak to the labour mp peter kyle, who's in brighton. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. nine labourmps thank you very much for being

canjeremy corbyn help break the deadlock or will his own side fracture while he's away?. the big dilemma for labour, i call it the hackney and hull problem. they are both labour heartlands. hull voted 70% for leave. the reality facing labour is most of its voters are members who voted remained but it cannot win another election unless it wins over voters. there are lots of ironies. for ages, the labour left was accused of wanting protest and principle of apparel. now they are dead set on winning a general election. i was going to say to you, some of them are coming out of the last few days and saying, this is not about party unity, electoral politics, it is about national interest. the rate of the crisis that has enveloped britain as conservative rule and the only way of addressing the injustices and division in the country that led to brexit is to have a set of policies that will address it and you can only do that with the labour government. the truth is, there are so many myths in the media about the reality, for example, even of parliamentary arithmetic. if labour ba

jeremy corbyn is going to brussels. they are listening to this debate.in from the outside. this country needs some kind of unification. it is not going to get one about brexit. to me, that proves brexit is surplus to requirements. you have no consensus on what you want in brussels as a future partner so you should have left things as they were in the first place. what ever anybody thinks about that, there is no middle of the water now. mesa anything is possible, nothing is likely. that means that people who will eventually be asked to have a second vote, because parliamentarians and government have proved themselves unable to get to an end point. brexit is not my preferred —— it is not my preferred option but there will be a demand for a second referendum to settle brexit because politicians cannot do that. that shows the capitulation of representative government. unless there is a dramatic shift within parliament to get what the labour leadership want. but quickly, on the issue of changing britain's negotiating, donald tusk, the president of the europea

corbyn's party he becomes the ninth labour mp to abandon jeremy corbyn's party this week. supportive of getting a brexit deal through parliament so it does not change the dynamics around that but it is obviously very difficult for the labour leadership, who will once again see intense focus on their handling of anti—semitism. a spokesperson said that they regretted mr austin's decision and said he should now stand down and fight a by—election. said he should now stand down and fight a by-election. thank you. there are calls to ban some diy teeth whitening kits that you can buy over the counter in high street shops. researchers say some non—hydrogen peroxide kits can damage your teeth. their study published today in the british dentaljournal selected five over—the—counter teeth whitening products and found they significantly reduced the hardness of the teeth, and increased sensitivity. the british dental bleaching society is also concerned the do—it—yourself nature of the products risk misuse, and overuse, without a professional dental consultation. let's talk to drjoseph g

austin becomes the ninth labour mp to quit this week — he says he can't ask people to make jeremy corbynrime minister. we'll have the latest from westminster where theresa may is also under pressure from normally loyal tory mps. also at this lunchtime. researchers believe post—traumatic stress disorder is affecting hundreds of thousands of young people in the uk. the un warn the world's food system is under threat from a lack of biodiversity. remembering the ten — huge crowds turn out in sheffield to honour the american airmen whose plane crashed there during the second world war. they were honoured this morning with a fly—past by the raf and us airforce. watching it in tears — the man who'd campaigned for the tribute — he was only eight when he witnessed the crash. that was worth waiting 66 years for. coming up on bbc news... a huge blow for chelsea, who've been banned from signing players in the next two transfer windows for breaching rules in relation to youth players. they've appealed that decision along with the fa. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. another mp has r

in a letter to mr corbyn, theresa may says she wa nts to to mr corbyn, theresa may says she wants to the sticking point is whether to join a customs union. number 10 says it can't agree and ministers are dismissive of labours idea. it's very clear from the eu that non—eu members do not have a say in eu trade policy, so to pretend that we could do so is a dangerous delusion. much of what jeremy corbyn has put forward has a tinge of un—realism about it. i think the prime minister's letter will flush him out on some of those issues. labour says there is a basis for discussion but once the government to move further. now it looks like they could be some progress, but also she has to guarantee a permanent customs union and is not obvious she is prepared to go down that line yet. there isn't a sudden outbreak of agreement on brexit, there are still real differences, not least on that idea of joining differences, not least on that idea ofjoining a customs union. jeremy corbyn is not about to sign on the dotted line and back at the prime minister's plans. theresa may needs as many votes as s

that is because jeremy corbyn... deserves our support? that is because jeremy corbyn. .. of the people here are uncomfortable at his decision this week. it is not that they feel this person should come back and be given a hug and all this, this softball thing. it is that ultimately she was radicalised in the uk, and it is perhaps our duty to bring her back in deal with that, whether that is through something you can take through something you can take through the courts or offer a de—radicalization programme. you can'tjust de—radicalization programme. you can't just ignore someone de—radicalization programme. you can'tjust ignore someone because they're suddenly not convenient. but i think it is a really difficult one. i don't think you covered it la5t one. i don't think you covered it last night, but there was a brilliant piece by anthony lloyd in the times this morning. are we still in yesterday? he did the first interview with her which generated all this stuff. and he said it is not that 5urpri5ing all this stuff. and he said it is not that surprising that at this poi

if jeremy agree much with what jeremy corbyn is doing. ifjeremy corbyn doesn't ta ke is doing.yn doesn't take them down the road of another referendum, what will they do? will they leave the party? if so, when will they act? no one is sure. thank you. let's look at the story of the labour party from brussels. julie ward is a labour mep. how did you react when you saw the letter from jeremy corbyn with his five tests? well, i think they're sensible. they're trying to reach out. but it's clear that the tories won't play ball with us and that's because for us, it's really important that peace in northern ireland is maintained, soa peace in northern ireland is maintained, so a hard border is absolutely impossible. and the backstop is sacrosanct. it isn't negotiable. what's really important is that labour wants to make sure that we don't become a pound shop britain. we want to make sure we still have employment rights, that we are aligned with the progress in brussels. it is a shift from the labour policy saying they didn't wa nt to labour policy saying they didn't want to sacrifice

jeremy corbyn said he was disappointed by the mps‘ decision.dent jonathan blake reports. the time for talking was over. seven labour mps chose this room on this morning to act, frustrated with their party and its leader of the time had come for them to quit and form a new group. this has been a very difficult, painful, but necessary decision. we represent different parts of the country. we are of different backgrounds. we we re are of different backgrounds. we were born of different generations. but we all share the same values. i cannot remain in the party that i have today come to the sickening conclusion is institutionally anti—semitic. conclusion is institutionally anti-semitic. all seven gave their own reasons, and with that, damning criticism reflecting anger that they and others have felt for some time. which is politics is now well and truly broken and in all conscience we can no longer knock on doors and support a government led byjeremy corbyn, or the team around him. this group of seven hopes to grow. there was an appeal for others f

but to understand corbyn's strategy... you may not like the position...he position because they would have to accept all kinds of constraints on state aid and probably on workers. they have deliberately drawn their own red lines. ina way in a way that it is impossible to meet any kind of tory government halfway, which they don't really wa nt to halfway, which they don't really want to do anyway. really, then, it is no longer about the national interest and coming up with a plan that can command some kind of bipartisan support, it is reallyjust about having some kind of clear distinction that keeps them from having any fingerprints on what happens after march 29. take a permanent customs union, there is actually a majority of mps who would back that, but the issue is theresa may can't do that because she would split her own party. so what other people are saying to you is thatjeremy corbyn can talk about that beautiful future, as he sees it, knowing full well that it is not going to happen? and therefore he doesn't have to do get the backing for it. and al

meanwhile the guardian has this, "labour mps warn corbyn: back a second referendum or we quit", sayingces up to ten resignations from his frontbench if he doesn't back another brexit vote. the daily mirror claims the former england goalkeep gordon banks, who died yesterday, missed out on a knighthood because officials lost his nomination papers. "new statins regime for over—40s", writes the i. the paper says there'll be a huge increase in the number of adults prescribed cholesterol—lowering drug in order to save lives. and as horse racing resumes, the daily telegraph has a photograph ofjockeys taking part in a space hopper race, under the title, "jockeys get back to horsing around". maybe we will leave those headlines from the sun. in fact we are going to talk about the sun, page two, valentines day massacre, brexiteers will leave her, theresa may, they reckon she is backsliding, they think that negotiations going forward without the suggestion that no deal is on the table, they don't like that. it feels like we have a crunch vote pretty much every week in westminster right now and act

we take a close look atjeremy corbyn's moves on the brexit board.ts today, bronwen maddox, director of the institute for government, owen jones, columnist for the guardian newspaper, henry chu, international editor of variety, and thomas kielinger, author and long—time correspondent of die welt. welcome to you all. thanks forjoining us. do you want the good news or the bad news? on the one hand, the united states avoided another government shutdown this weekend as the president signed a spending bill. on the other, he declared a national emergency which democrats condemn as an unconstitutional abuse of power and vow to overturn. henry, let's start with you. did you fall off your chair when you heard there was going to be an emergency? the barfor a falling of one's chair during this presidency is pretty high. this did not clear it for me. from the beginning of this presidency, donald trump has shown scant regard for the constitution he was sworn to uphold, whether it is the ban on muslims entering the country or his own financial benefit from the pre

she says she is not clear why jeremy corbyn believes it would be prefera ble jeremy corbyn believes itould be preferable for the uk to seek a say in future trade deals with the eu rather than the ability to strike our own deals. mr cabin goes on to say, the challenge to staying in the customs union is the apartment position that this is the only possible —— this is only possible if the uk state in the single market and accept the free movement of people. well, in worker —— my own work apartment rights, she says these will be protected after brexit but rejects labour's kultur keep them in line with eu rules, saying she believes a decision should be made by mps in parliament. to make sense of all of this, our assistant medical editor norman smith is in westminster for us. are they shuffling closer together, norman? westminster for us. are they shuffling closertogether, norman? i think they have moved on from the plate throwing stage. certainly jeremy corbyn is now meeting mrs may. there is no boycotts. the tone of their conversation seems much more convivial and consensual and this lette

so commit mr corbyn perhaps waving a bit ofan so commit mr corbyn perhaps waving a bit of an olive brancht impact that will have in future votes, could it perhaps give those labour mps in leave supporting the feeling that perhaps it would be ok to vote with the government because mr corbyn is not quite so dead set against mrs may's deal? 0k, norman, interesting developments, thank you very norman smith. a vote that could prevent ramsgate reopening as a ferry port in the case of a no—deal brexit is due to take place today. the government handed seaborne freight a £118 million contract to run a service to ostend, in belgium, under contingency plans to alleviate any delays at dover. but thanet councillors in kent are considering cuts to port spending that would make roll—on, roll—off services impossible. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may is travelling to brussels, where she'll press eu leaders for legally binding changes to the brexit deal. meanwhile, jeremy corbyn has written to theresa may — setting out five demands that could see labour back a brexit deal in parliament. and in othe

jeremy corbyn said he was a "credit" to the party.by a member of staff, which came after the customer told him she was a vegan — was "wholly inappropriate". the impact plastic is having on our environment was highlighted dramatically by the bbc documentary series blue planet. now the government has unveiled plans for how it thinks the uk could cut down on its use. ministers want to introduce a new tax on plastic packaging, alongside a ‘deposit return‘ scheme for cans and bottles. but large retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals, as our environment analyst, roger harrabin reports. plastic litter harms marine life so the government is introducing a deposit return scheme for bottles and also cans. small, on—the—go bottles are the most likely to appear in the sea so retailers want the deposit restricted to those small containers, but environmentalists say many family sized bottles end up in the ocean, too. they are fighting for all bottles, big and small, to face the deposit. there‘s another reason for a catch—a

mr corbyn is in spain today, holding meetings about brexit.rry that he's decided to take that course of action. he was elected, like me, in 2017 at the general election under a manifesto that pledged to deal with poverty, injustice, and inequality in britain. that's how he was elected, that's how i was elected, and i think we should be campaigning on those issues. when other labour mps, including luciana berger, resigned on monday, they partly blamed mr corbyn's failure to deal with anti—semitism. their message struck a chord with ian austin, whose jewish adoptive father was forced to flee the nazis. he must have had a bit of a morning... he told his former colleague jess phillips that leaving labour had been a painful decision. i've been thinking that i should have been doing this for months, for a long time. but i watched luciana on monday, and i thought in the end you have got to stand with her. yeah, and do you think more will go now as well? i don't know, i mean, i haven't talked to other people about this. and in a sign of growing anger

are they likely to listen to the likes of donald tusk and jeremy corbyn?”tever your position on brexit, those sorts of comments from the leaders in europe and the headlines they generate just make the british person here and look around and think, if that's the attitude, i am look around and think, if that's the attitude, iam bored look around and think, if that's the attitude, i am bored sick of this anyway, and it's not very helpful. i can't help think this might have harmed positions against rapprochement. we heard box pops about people saying, no deal is better than this. this isn't good news for anyone. i guess the hard task for those sitting in the monetary policy committee at the bank of england as to what all this might mean for the future the british economy, the bank of england governor was talking yesterday, these are the comments on the front page of the times, about what all of this brexit scenario planning might mean for growth here. this is the wea kest mean for growth here. this is the weakest growth in a decade. the central scenario let's n

but isn't that what corbyn is doing? but isn't that what corbyn is doing? i cannot bear what corbyn is doing but the powerful person who was in charge of this should now realise she has to work with others. but both parties are in real disarray and may be danger of breaking up and how she will ever getjeremy corbyn into the tent, i wish they had some kind of coalition to discuss this ages ago. we need now are government of national unity, it's that serious. it is that serious, we are in the worst place we have ever been in peacetime britain. that is a wish list because what we will get on thursday is various amendments and mps saying what they think we should happen... it's meaningless. the whole thing is a shambles.“ happen... it's meaningless. the whole thing is a shambles. if actual smoke could come out of your ears, i think it would. whatever your position, i care about your country, i don't want it to go down into this terrible uncharted territory where we are headed and nobody in charge... nobody can say what will

because jeremy corbyn got this low because of brexit.to be heading towards that second referendum? yes, one of the reasons i found it damaging is because before this happened the leadership was slowly inching toward supporting an amendment that would back the prime minister's deal, much like when the good friday agreement was passed, but i don't know if this has made them hard in their position and it worries me. let me read you some m essa 9 es it worries me. let me read you some messages from people around the country. hannah tweets, yes this could definitely be the party for me although i hope the independent group and lib dems down to field candidates against each other in the same constituency at the next election. they need cooperation across the centre ground. graham says they should have by—elections, they stood on the manifesto of their respective parties. if the voters wa nt respective parties. if the voters want change they will vote for it. paul tweets, the independent group area paul tweets, the independent group are a bunch

not exactly acolytes or supporters of jeremy corbyn luciana berger.olytes or supporters ofjeremy corbyn in the labour party. the trouble is, an awful lot are members of the labour party, even now, will be reminded about the sdp, the gang of four and the split and the problems it caused for labour and helped keep labour in opposition for an exceedingly long time. and there will be a lot of discontent from within, even those who are antagonistic about the jeremy corbyn project, the dangers ofa jeremy corbyn project, the dangers of a breakaway, because of what damage it would do to the party. so ithink... i damage it would do to the party. so i think... i can understand why people might be mulling the option of potentially leaving. i'm wondering if they will actually cross that great rubicon and make the plunge. i'm not sure they will. joe? it provides an opportunity for dissenting voices in the labour party to talk about how they don't like labour's position on venezuela, on brexit, on anti—semitism. but there has been a lot of talk about a new centre p

mr corbyn said he regretted the decision. theresa may is under pressure from senior members of her own party over her approach to brexit. we'll be live in westminster with more on that, but first, this report by our chief political correspondent vicki young, which does contain some flashing images. jeremy corbyn is under pressure, struggling to keep his party together after a week of turmoil. eight of his mps walked out, accusing him of allowing a culture of bullying, anti—semitism and intimidation to take hold. now ian austin has quit too, saying mr corbyn isn't fit to be prime minister. i think underjeremy corbyn‘s leadership there's been a culture of extremism and intolerance that's been allowed to develop, and anti—semitism that's been allowed to develop and has flourished. and i thinkjeremy corbyn has not taken it seriously enough, and i think he's incapable, if i'm honest, of dealing with it properly, and i think he has refused to get to grips with it. mr austin says he's notjoining the new independent group set up this

jeremy corbyn says he's disappointed, but labour's deputy leader says the party must change directionorface more defections. our other main story tonight... in a shock move, honda is set to close its factory in swindon. 3,500 jobs, are at risk. as you can imagine, the reaction is terrible, yeah. doom and gloom. lots of families, lots of people with children — like ourselves. so, yeah, gutted, really, yeah, absolutely gutted. shamima begum tells the bbc it was her choice to join the islamic state group, as she asks the uk for forgiveness. in a medicalfirst, a woman from oxford gets dna treatment, to halt the most common form of blindness, in the uk. commentator: mata at the back post. pogba! brilliant! and manchester united reach the quarter finals of the fa cup, with a 2—0 win over chelsea, at stamford bridge. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: fighting for her right to run. why 0lympic 800 metre champion caster semenya faces the biggest battle of her career. good evening. seven mps have taken the drastic step of deciding to leave the labour party, and are forming a new independe

given the concerns that there are aboutjeremy corbyn's failure to get a are aboutjeremy corbyn's failure to get a grip on anti—semitism, it doesn't look very good. after the weekend, when lucy honor—berger was threatened, a jewish weekend, when lucy honor—berger was threatened, ajewish labour mp weekend, when lucy honor—berger was threatened, a jewish labour mp who's worked hard on things like mental health. it looks incredibly poor. worked hard on things like mental health. it looks incredibly poorlj seem health. it looks incredibly poorlj seem to recall john health. it looks incredibly poorlj seem to recalljohn mcdonnell saying, if she could put out statements saying she is not going to leave the labour party, that is 0k. it's to leave the labour party, that is ok. it's like a trumped up reason. ian watson was coming in hotfooted this evening, you know that lonely brief where you have to stand outside the room and hope you can just hear the raised voices and the banging tabletops, so that is obviously more conservative meetings, labour ones are the banging tabletops, the tradition of b

what would you like to seejeremy corbyn do at this point? of another referendum at the moment? when will it happen? 44 days before we leave, wanted to be too late? i think the most important thing is to stop the clock. then we must take a view amongst members of parliament how they want to resolve this. there are different conversations about potentially... the economic partnership be maintained even if we leave the eu. others are saying that the best thing to do is to the public, i think there might be the only way to unlock the situation. that is really what we're trying to bring about. in the house of commons, there are certain things that only the government can do. earlier the government can bring forward legislation and easily get a pass. we are in the hands of the government which is which is why i said to them, stop this chaos, take responsibility. stop the brexit clock now and found a way forward that does not involve any more of the scenes that we have seen tonight where the prime minister cannot even command support amongst her ow

kira, you supportjeremy corbyn?”. i disagree chuck umunna, i think if we wa nt disagree chuck umunna, i think if we want change in the labour party we should fight for that, especially around brexit. do you agree with jeremy corbyn‘s policies? there are concerns he is facilitating brexit, the party has not been effective opposition? it is not about his policies, it is the party policies, and party policy says all options should be kept on the table, including a second referendum, a people's vote. ultimately that it's in theirline to people's vote. ultimately that it's in their line to be delivered and hopefully this is the sorted step forward that means he will take steps towards that. benjamin, what is your view? i do not think their rationale makes sense. 0n brexit he is being a committed democrat, following through the vote and making it as action. his letter to theresa may was a compromise down the middle, asaph brexit, a customs union which should satisfy remainers, the eu described it as a heavenly solution, so

jeremy corbyn. reduce the complex, reduce the tension and deal with the root causes before more lives are lost. i also join the prime minister in wishing even a very happy retirement. she has been brilliant in your office over many yea rs of brilliant in your office over many years of people rushing in and out of the office making unreasonable demands, she has always sorted it out. could you pass on the thanks of lots of backbenchers over many yea rs. lots of backbenchers over many years. the bank of england forecasts that growth for this year will be the slowest in over a decade. does the slowest in over a decade. does the prime minister blame her shambolic handling of brexit? or her failed austerity policies for this damaging failure? can i say to the right honourable gentleman, first, he should have seen the report that showed that the expectation is we will have higher growth in this country over the coming year than they will have in germany. he talks about the economy, he talks about the econo

mr corbyn says he's disappointed by their decision, while the shadow chancellor is calling on them to by—elections. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg's report contains flashing images. after a frenzy of rumours, making their way into a stifling, cramped, london room, labour mps when they woke up this morning. but after months of struggle to make their presence felt, at 10am, they sent e—mails to say they were labour mps no more. whether because of anti—semitism. the leadership has wilfully and repeatedly fails to address hatred against jewish wilfully and repeatedly fails to address hatred againstjewish people within its ranks. i am leaving behind a culture of bullying, bigotry and intimidation. or ideas, a profound clash of ideas between this group and jeremy corbyn over another eu referendum. this has not been an easy decision for any others. the evidence of labour's betrayal on europe is now visible for all to see. offering to actually enable this government's brexit, consta ntly enable this government's brexit, constantly holding back from allowing the public a final say. mayb

labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has warned jeremy corbyn he has to act urgently if the party is together. mr watson said labour was facing a crisis of the soul and needed to address antisemitism and what he called the hard left in the party. he also said the party was moving towards the possibility of supporting a second eu refendum. the prime minister has told a gathering of grassroots conservative party activists that she won't allow the result of the brexit referendum to be frustrated after three cabinet ministers warned brexit may have to be delayed. our politcal correspondent jonathan blake is here. very strong warning from tom watson after a difficult week for the labour party, he says mr corbyn has to act urgently? yes, quite an extraordinary interview really on the andrew marr programme this morning, at the end of a torrid week for labour, when nine mps have quit the party and many of them on the issue of anti—semitism, explaining that in their viewjeremy corbyn has not done enough to tackle that problem within the party. and in the wa ke problem within the party. and in th

both theresa may and jeremy corbyn are under pressure this lunchtime?eir own sort of brexit mangler, mrs may in brussels where she just brexit mangler, mrs may in brussels where shejust emerged brexit mangler, mrs may in brussels where she just emerged with the offer of further talks, you might think that's not much, not ideal, nothing even approaching a deal, but suchis nothing even approaching a deal, but such is the hole mrs may is in, just the offer by the eu to keep on talking, to keep on negotiating, is in itself something of a result and it avoids what they feared, which was basically having the door slammed in their face and mrs was basically having the door slammed in theirface and mrs may being told no moules and frites for you today. and jeremy corbyn is in his own mangler of his mps, on the warpath, after he wrote a conciliatory letter to mrs may over brexit saying let's keep talking and discussing it, easing back on some of his red lines, not even mentioning now the prospect of another referendum, and some of his anti—brexit mps fear that m

jeremy corbyn focused on brexit too.a month ago, and this government has failed to put the country first. the crisis ofjobs going, industries under threat and the prime minister indulges in what her own business minister calls "fanciful nonsense. " when is she going to put the interests of the people of this country before the interests of the conservative party? but theresa may said jeremy corbyn had consistently put his party political interests ahead of the national interest, frustrating a deal and making no deal more likely. but she reckoned that wasn't surprising coming from them. what do we see from his labour party? hamas and hezbollah, friends. israel and the united states enemies, hatton a hero, churchill, a villain. attlee and bevin will be spinning in their grave — that's what the right honourable gentleman has done to once proud labour party. we will never let him do it to our country! theresa may. but the cracks and splits in the two main parties weren't over. on friday, after mps have returned from their co
