david davis is staring it up, contest. david davis is staring it hoping contest.staring it up, hoping that borisjohnson will step aside. and this story in the sunday times comes from johnny mercer, who was quoted as saying he couldn't vote conservative and wasn't standing as an mp again, so not really sure what relevance he has. so they are saying assassination is in the air. i am asking about boris johnson, assassination is in the air. i am asking about borisjohnson, but he is on our next page. where does he fit in? he fits in as being the next prime minister, that is how he would like to fit into it all. what he is staying in the sunday express is that the whole thing is a stitch up —— sunday express. he used the term brino rather than brexit, which is brexit in name only. you finally get down to the former home secretary, amber road, and nick bowles, who suggest a norway option where we stay in the single market, we have free movement and we pay money to europe. that is a no—go with the brexiteers, but at the moment people are trying to line up and see, if ther

what about the the sunday times lead on david davis?is about david davis, the former brexit secretary upping the empty thing he doesn't do it promised a's dealed bustles and he's calling for those still —— bustles deal. he's calling for the cabinet to come and pressure theresa may to even resign. what this piece doesn't tell us is whether those cabinet ministers are going tojump and whether those cabinet ministers are going to jump and whether there will bea going to jump and whether there will be a leadership challenge to theresa may. there's a good cartoon here of people on the brink. that is where we are. i did think it is clear who will say and go. and david davis don't know who's going to move? he knows everything, brexit bulldog.:. what is fascinating about many of the headlines, mostly about brexit, if they don't make the story underneath it. there may be a whiff of mutiny in the air but is is on the good ship lollipop not mutiny on the good ship lollipop not mutiny on the bounty. names are named but they haven't said they will d

david davis in the times, other mps in the telegraph.fort to put pressure on her at this crucial moment because we have the eu summit coming up later this week to look forward to! when it comes to theresa may's leadership potential there are two mag ways to get rid of her. one is through a vote of no confidence, and thatis through a vote of no confidence, and that is what the letters are about. the other is to see whether chequers goes through parliament and if it fails she can't stay on. her strategy at the moment is to reach across the aisle to try to rope in moderate labour mps to get then to support her. that is risky, but she wrote an opinion editorial in the guardian last week hoping at disillusioned labour voters would support the tories. that seems desperate to me. and bathing in the glory of a successful conference hasn't lasted long. this is the problem with these speeches. you can have a rotter of a speech and people will mock you for your sector falling down or you coughing or whatever it is. tony blair years ago had terrible

david davis thinks he can walk m, dup. indeed borisjohnson stood in, if indeed he won, and if indeed boris johnson stood aside and in, if indeed he won, and if indeed borisjohnson stood aside and didn't change his mind at the last minute, are the dup dan quinn to do the same deal with david davis? is david davis bentley to be able to —— to negotiate or whoever else might take over? wouldn't there be a point actually at which the british public might they hang on a minute, this is ridiculous, we need a general election. which by essence you end up election. which by essence you end up having. let's turn to the telegraph, and drop the backstop or uk will leave on time, this coming from dominic rob. yes. this is more or less the government position. the problem at the moment is theresa may has indicated she will go along with the transition period that michel barnier and the chief brexit negotiator for the eu has barnier and the chief brexit negotiatorfor the eu has put forward. this would take, give her a breathing space unt

david davis, of course, no longer in the cabinet himself.s own resignation earlier this year didn't actually force the prime minister to change course. so it will be very much up to individual cabinet members to decide what they do. speaking on a programme on sky this morning, former cabinet minister and brexit supporter iain duncan smith appeared to give some backing to the idea that those who don't really support the approach that is being taken, perhaps they should give some thought to their position. i share one thing in common with him, which is we both resigned from cabinet when we were not in agreement with it. therefore i am always of the view that when you get to the point where you no longer agree on a fundamental issue, then it will be time that you found yourself on the back benches. but it is up to people to do that themselves. so do you think we could see some resignations? i never very good at speculating, but i would say to anyone in cabinet who has concerns about this, you have to make them very clear to the prime minister.

david davis has never been shy of walking into a fight over brexit.s before a crucial eu summit, he's urging theresa may's most senior ministers to front up too. he wants them to force the pm to scrap any plans to keep the same customs rules as europe to avoid border checks in ireland by asserting the cabinet's collective authority. could that mean threatening resignations? i am never a very good speculator, but i do say to anyone who's in cabinet who has concerns about this, you have to make them very clear to the prime minister, and we mustn't have a little cabal outside the cabinet running this. it has to be a cabinet decision. downing street says any such arrangement would be temporary and time—limited. but speaking to andrew marr earlier, the health secretary, matt hancock, seemed to hint that might not mean setting a date for it to end. something the eu has been resisting. everybody needs to get behind the prime minister and pull behind her because she is trying to deliver the best deal for britain and that's the best way to take this forward. t

the former brexit secretary, david davis, has called on the cabinet to unite against theresa may's plan for the uk's withdrawal from the eu. writing in "the sunday times", he says there's an atmosphere of "panic" in downing street — just days before a crucial summit of eu leaders in brussels. he also says mrs may's plan is "completely unacceptable" and has urged cabinet ministers to "exert their collective authority". let's talk to our political correspondent helen catt. i don't think it will surprise anyone that david davis is not a fan of theresa may's brexit proposals. what is surprising is that he appears to have decided to ratchet up appears to have decided to ratchet up the pressure this week by making this court to her most senior ministers to effectively rebel against government plans. in his article he says the government should assert its collective authority and stop theresa may pressing ahead with this proposal that he says is flawed. the heart of it is what happens when we don't get a deal and the irish border. the idea that the uk as a whole could stay in the customs union

many are touting david davis as someone not?e touting david davis as someone who could possibly take over. your thoughts?” someone who could possibly take over. your thoughts? i think the prime minister is deep into their negotiation, playing a very high sta kes negotiation, playing a very high stakes game of oak and she needs support from a team. she does but she's not getting it. she is in a challenging position and she is negotiating with the eu, if she shows her hand to everyone, that wea ke ns shows her hand to everyone, that weakens her position, which has been the case that her supporters have put across all the way through these times. she needs to keep her party onside, that is the biggest challenge. do the brexiteers within her party like iain duncan smith and jacob rees mogg, do they see it as a situation where they have to stick with what they know for now until this deal is done, or do they gamble of trying to unseat her? as you said, this will be an interesting week that she needs to give her party a view as to why

be in the said that she ignored the advice of all of them blacks are said to david davis by keeping our allies out of the loop until the very last minute the ghost of christmas past let the prime minister off of a humiliating delay a warning and some big u.s. words on the backstop. it seems unlikely that the ghost of christmas present will let off so lightly the images presented to the prime minister for this winter are not appealing there is no commons majority for the checkers fudge or anything that resembles that the only way to avoid the unpalatable choice between an eye this border and an eye they see barbara is to stand the single market and the customs union ironically the may be a parliamentary majority for the us but it would split the conservative party asunder meanwhile to pursue a basic trade deal of color the plus might itself good though to defeat in the commons and it would represent the final political humiliation of facing defeat on someone else's policy conservative m.p.'s might conclude if that's to be the direction of approach it would be better advocated by someone

the headlines at midday: the former brexit secretary david davis calls for a cabinet rebellion over theresaals for unity. we need to get behind the prime minister and pull behind her, because she is trying to deliver the best deal for britain. that is the best way to take this forward. the number of rivers at risk of flooding halves as the worst of storm callum passes — high winds and torrential rain have led to major disruption and two deaths. britain and the us consider boycotting a major investment conference in saudi arabia after the disappearance of saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. the nhs in england plans to crack down on patients who wrongly claim free prescriptions. the government says new pharmacy checks will help save the health service £300 million a year. and princess eugenie and jack brooksbank release

relationship is going to be that's when it should have been dumped we should never have accepted it david davis should never have accepted it as one of the preconditions for negotiations up was the rock on which we perished you know what find it strange that you appear i mean we had paul mask before we. had will see saying that we are in it for itself that seems to set off a leg we're going to thing you in what used to be the dominant force in you well it's like i suppose yes but that probably is in the storm and context which i think you're. coming on to the moment well i think they said that nigel daubs is a bit of trying to be che guevara and now. there's a role in this one as a kids in a sweet show he was talking. he was going your mind to guerrilla campaign in parliament. hard to you as a eunice to stay in the union if you're a guerrilla campaign against your own government a government which he has a confidence a supply arrangement with you know well in the sense that if there isn't a did put in a mind the irish sea they have a beer but to talk to it if you are in an arrangement with stop

whether it's from one side of the party, johnny mercer the backbench mp, whether it's david davis lookingon saying he's ! leadership challenge. boris johnson says he is not happy. theresa may is not changing her position, will they move against? it's a hard question. the papers talk about a show trial, the sunday times say theresa may is entering the killing zone. whether she is or not depends on arithmetic. you have the question over whether enough letters are submitted by unhappy backbenchers to the 9022 committee. the only person who knows how many letters have been submitted is the chairman, graham brady, there was a suggestion in the papers today they are getting close to that number. i think it is realistic that they could get to that number. the question for those mps, though, is whether they want to. if they trigger a new confidence vote and don't win it, then theresa may would be safe for a year according to the constitution of the conservative party. they need 159 votes in order to win that no—confidence vote. that looks like a pretty tall order. though our suggestion is that if

david davis, he's great at the headline but the nitty—gritty policy, slightly less so.olicy, slightly less so. ifelt that was classic borisjohnson. he's great at that sort of event, cheering at his core supporters. they love it but outside of this conference, is it going to have any reach, any impact? inside of this conference, are people going to suddenly thing, we have got to get shot of theresa may and we have got to dump chequers? there are people who do think that. will that speech suddenly increase their numbers hugely? again, i'm not sure. very interesting. norman smith in birmingham. there will be more from the conservative party conference throughout the afternoon, of course. more analysis of that and everything else. theresa may today talking about immigration. much more from birmingham to come. right now, let's take a look at a few other this afternoon. a growing number of patients with learning district —— disabilities are being physically restrained in hospital units. there's been a 50 percent increase in the past two years in england and a former social ca

and the former brexit secretary david davis is calling on the cabinet to exert its authority and getmany colleagues agree. i do say to anyone who's in cabinet, who has concerns about this, you have to make them very clear to the prime minister. and we mustn't have a little cabal outside the cabinet running this. it has to be a cabinet decision. the labour leadership is scathing about mrs may's plans. frankly, if she comes back with something which is just a fudge that she's cooked up with brussels, and it doesn't meet our tests, we're not going to vote for it. and the british people are not stupid, we're not stupid. we're not voting for something which is essentially a bridge to nowhere. we need to know what our future relationship with europe is going to be, and a fudge won't fix it. but if there is a deal, some labour mps are considering backing the government in a parliamentary vote. if a reasonable deal‘s on the table, the question, i think, for some of my labour colleagues is, why wouldn't you support a deal? why would you stand alongside borisjohnson orjacob rees—mogg who want
