could we see david davis resigned tomorrow? finally! was could we see david davis resigned tomorrow? finally! iwas thinking this might be the fifth time he's been suggested to resign. fifth time? there have been other occasions when there's been stories in the papers saying he's going to resign in all of this. he's fighting for the british pickle! —— british people. eventually somebody says, are you going to put up or shut? he does appear to be relatively close, although i was speaking to one source close to david davis earlier oi'i source close to david davis earlier on and they said no, he is not. he has made clear the next week, he is meeting michel barnier in brussels, so meeting michel barnier in brussels, so he said he was doing that, he was still planning on being brexit secretary. there are definitely tensions between him and number ten. numberten is tensions between him and number ten. number ten is ready to take control of the whole brexit process and him as brexit secretary is being overlooked. this specific issue is done wit

therefore, it's essential that david davis stays in position. need to turn it into a dramatic one. i took from that the sense he did not think mr davies would be resigning. if you look at mr davies returning earlier to downing street, well, it's hard to read his body language. he ignores the questions that are shouted at him. he does not really give much away. reading body language always an art norman. for the moment, thank you. you will keep us the moment, thank you. you will keep us up with what's with what's happening, thank you. the sbu said in its opening state m e nts the sbu said in its opening statements that given multiple safety failings in grenfell tower welding, the firefighters were a lwa ys welding, the firefighters were always chasing a sinister fire they had no chance of defeating. tom burridge brought us up to date. its importance, we've been hearing from the three organisations representing firefighters who tackled the fire on that night, because in some of the other opening statements in qcs representing relatives of those who

in the last few minutes sources close to david davis has said all 0k, few minutes sources close to davidthe document has been amended and now there is much greater clarity on the time limit to this backstop option. but here is the paradox, when brexiteers examine the document after its published later today, they will be very nervous that there is no fixed end date for the backstop option. but equally they were even more nervous about the prospect of david davis walking the plank because their fear was that if he had kicked over the table and walked out, that would have thrown the brexit negotiations into disarray and even threatened exit itself. norman smith in downing street, thank you. the grenfell fire inquiry has been told that fire commanders had "no obvious and safe alternative strategy" other than to tell residents to stay put in their flats. the fire brigades union said firefighters were left in an "impossible situation". it comes as it's emerged that the metropolitan police is carrying out a criminal investigation into the fire service's use of the "stay put" policy. richard ga

did you get what you want, david davis? david davis, taking his time, savouring the moment.e may seem hollow. i think it's particularly true of theresa may's government, that it does operate by collective responsibility. we do come to collective decisions. reporter: arguing in public? sometimes that takes a little bit longer, leaving the european union is one of the most important things that we've done in this country for a very long time. it's important we get the decisions right. as everybody knows in the referendum, opinions and feelings run high on this issue, but we have shown we can reach an agreement civilly and collectively. but on the other side of the channel, that can look like chaos. we have just received this proposal two hours ago. we are working on it. the eu doesn't much like the look of the proposal anyway. there'll be a formal response tomorrow. try, as the chief whip does, to be positive... really positive day. ..the government looks split. the brexit secretary has had his way, although what's been done is not a clear plan of his liking, but a fudge, whic

if this is victory for david davis, it doesn't look that strong.s made so blah —— is very vague because it supplies lots of wriggle room. david davis will be pleased, though, he has made his point and he has crowbar and a date out of theresa may. as for the prime minister, what a morning she has had. she is about to head off to canada for the g7 and i would kick off my shoes and push back the chair and order a large gin and tonic. this has been a hell of a morning, the three brexiteers coming in to meet her. she thought she had it sorted and benji had to call david davis back and then had to concede this final date —— then she had to call. it has been a bruising morning for a theresa may but she leaves with these shows seemingly still on the road and everyone still on board —— with the show. agreement around the backstop, even though many people will think this is something ofa people will think this is something of a fudge. she still has the small matter of selling this to the eu. absolutely. the show barney a has tweeted —— michel barnier has twe

sodas david davis. my gut —— so does david davis. my gut reaction is that he will not resign. this is a matter of principle for a number of region people. it is about ideology. people have believed in this for a long time in cabinet and they feel very strongly about it. the question is, are they prepared, in effect, to trigger a serious revolt in the conservative party? you don't know where it will end up. to reason they might have to go. if they do that. or indeed, a fresh election. —— theresa may may have to go. there is too much political uncertainty. it isa too much political uncertainty. it is a decision with ramifications way beyond this single document they discussed today. we shall watch this space. looking now in the meantime at what the new spanish prime minister has decided to do. he has formed his new cabinet having become prime minister last week. this was after leading an historic no—confidence vote against the popular party. a huge change in spain. he leads a minority government so he is trying to set up what he really believes. there are some interesting messag

it is, there is speculation boris johnson or david davis liam fox might resign.will edge towards a softer brexit and they will put up with it and use words to cover up will put up with it and use words to coverup their will put up with it and use words to cover up their embarrassment. she might be keen to get rid of the troublemakers at this point but i ee, troublemakers at this point but i agree, i think they need something solid and they don't have it. what can we read into borisjohnson‘s what can i say politely, noises off? its colourful language, he talked about bog roll brexit because it was soft and yielding and long. which is disloyal and unhelpful to theresa may. but it's not crossing any sort of red lines of collective cabinet responsibility. but the business thing... that was bad. but it was a private remark everyone can pretend... the public watching that, if you are the foreign secretary at such a crucial time you cannot make private, private remarks begin and end. the independent has said we ought to get rid of boris for quite some time. he is a joke

david davis and michel barnier on monday, the first long-time. adam, thank you very much.ff on the weekend beforehand. let's get some final thoughts, because all of this is adam the suggesting there, it reminds us of the timetable of all of this and my goodness it is time isn't it? i think number ten is saying in response to those comments are michel barnier is that this is a negotiation and the next step is to fiow negotiation and the next step is to now get back to the talks on this backstop plan, which of course is an insurance policy if the uk and brussels do not come to an agreement on trade for when we leave the eu. the uk put its own proposal on the end of last year, number ten very keen to remind us that when he did that, the uk rejected it. now we have the uk putting its plan on the table and the signs are from brussels are perhaps once of rejection. they say look, we need to get back to the table and get down to the talks and that is just normal. that is what this process is going to be like. specifically responding to what michel barnier said today, the governme

she had the threat of david davies resigning last week.is johnson of david davies resigning last week. she had borisjohnson talking off—the—cuff, the only way he knows. apparently, according to this story, mps close to david davis said ten or more ministers were prepared to resign with him if he quit. whether oi’ resign with him if he quit. whether or not that is true, we don't know. but this story about freedom of movement, if we want frictionless trade, the eu is expected to demand continued freedom of movement. sajid javid, the new home secretary, has torn up loans, apparently, to offer european migrants preferential access to britain. that has put him at odds with other ministers and the treasury. this is one of the basic tenets of membership of the eu. yes, this is the point. there has been a suspicion for some time that this is michel barnier's gameplan. the idea may be that we make such a mess of it at ourend, may be that we make such a mess of it at our end, which we are doing at the moment, because we cannot agree oi'i the moment,

unlike david davis suggested earlier. brussels says the eu is -- suggested earlier. to choose whatever type of relationship that wants after brexit, closer or more distant, as long as it does not clash with eu rules. but they say the uk is not free to choose what happens on the irish border, because the government, along with the eu, has signed up to avoiding the reintroduction of the hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland, to safeguard the good friday peace accord. this is the reddest of red lines for brussels. even if the government finally comes to agreement, the warning from brussels tonight is that the irish border deal could still bring brexit all tumbling down. the boss of tsb has admitted that fraudsters targeted thousands of people's bank accounts in the aftermath of an it meltdown in april. paul pester told mps that the bank had been overwhelmed by what he called an unprecedented attack by organised crime after a botched systems upgrade. it resulted in money being taken illegally out of 1300 accounts. simon gompertz reports. the so

, david davis and others not happy with the idea could be time limited because they wa nted could be date. what this note says is the uk expects a future arrangement, in other words a future arrangement, in other words a future free trade arrangement which will get rid of this to be in place by the end of december 20 2i. will get rid of this to be in place by the end of december 20 21. so if this starts on december 2020 at the end of the transition period, stick with me here, for another year this temporary customs arrangement would stay in place but it does not make december 2021 a hard cut off so there will be those that say hang on, if we get to september 2021 and not agreed a future free—trade agreement does it keep dragging on? that is what a lot of brexiteer spear, that it's a back door into a long and slow method of staying in the customs union must permanently. would it solve the irish border question? not in itself. this technical note from the government makes it very clear because there are two things at the irish border, customs, the tariffs, taxes and duties when things

we asked david davis about this yesterday. off all the details about the government's backstop proposal and if it comes out without your explicit approval, can you stay in yourjob? that's a question, i think for the prime minister. the detail of this is being discussed at the moment and is going to another one. it would be properly needed for a pre—emptive negotiations. the cabinet committee will meet at lunchtime. we don't know if we will see that backstop proposal published or not. it seemed certain that be would yesterday but this is further evidence that with time running out, this is a cabinet negotiating with itself even before it takes its proposal to brussels. there's been a 60 percent increase in the number of children with autism being excluded from schools in england over the past five years. government data shows autistic children are far more likely to be sent home from school than their peers. the department for education says it is currently conducting a review of all exclusions. marc ashdown reports. you need t

david davis, in out, isn't he going to resign?ds it was a score draw between him and the prime minister and if it is a score draw with the prime minister that means he won. he says he secured two things. firstly, he got an end date in that document for the so—called northern ireland backstop but it is an aspirational end date, it is not a definite end date. the other thing he says he has is an end to the backsliding on the publication of a white paper on brexit. he says that will come out before the end ofjuly and it will have the government's preferred option of how to deal with the relationship, not the backstop. why are the brexit ministers worried? they feel their vision of brexit is slipping away and the reason for that if they think theresa may wants two things in march, out of the eu but also a transition. if you want a transition, you have to have a withdrawal treaty. if you want to withdraw treaty, you have to have the backstop. and the danger of the backstop for brexiteers is that hands the eu and absolutely decisive rol

didn't realise it would be a big stumbling block in the sort of longer term negotiations to watch david daviss sort of exclusive story in the sun if there is a twin regime, eu and uk legislation takes place in northern ireland and becomes effectively a special economic zone which seems to be a very good solution, actually, except the dup in northern ireland who are likely to be sort of very anti this and uk politics at the moment the dup do hold displays the current administration. but it is interesting because you can look at it standing back and think hang on, that's a pretty good effort. absolutely. but it is utterly irrelevant, as you say, the unionists who know that northern ireland is part of the uk,. so there is no give there, it'll be interesting to see this has any legs at all. this story wouldn't have come out without it already having legs and perhaps behind the scenes the dup has been brought into the folder little bit and obviously northern will continue to be a focus, we have seen it with a discussion about the abortion laws as well. this is like 310 miles long and it's wide, it

a critical moment for theresa may because if david davies decided he cannot put up david davies decidedhen we have those critical votes in then we have those critical votes in the commons this week, and were he to say he was quitting it would draw the whole brexit process into disarray, which is why brexit mps are urging mr davis not to go, but his concern is that the so—called backstop agreement floated has no end debate and the fear of brexiteers is that it could just go on and on and britain would rein —— remained ina on and on and britain would rein —— remained in a perpetual limbo land, half in and half out of the eu. so theresa may really needs to keep david davis on board but she will have to come up with some sort of compromise package. for now, norman, thank you very much. human rights have lost a supreme court appeal over the legality of northern ireland's strict abortion law. however a majority of the seven justices at the hearing stated that the current legislation is "incompatible" with european human rights laws in the cases of fatal foetal abnormality, rape and incest. th

he did not mention david davis in particular but he said, david davis, in midweek, that the eu was doingse in westminster this has happened, number ten will say that this is a negotiation over the backstop which is an insurance policy if you like, if the uk and the eu can't come to an agreement on a trade dealfor when the eu can't come to an agreement on a trade deal for when we leave the eu, this is what will come into play, but number ten continuing to emphasise they don't want it and i don't intend this backstop to be needed but it needs to be in the legal text —— they don't intend. a government spokesman said they would never government spokesman said they would never accept a customs border between northern ireland and the rest of the uk and they said they we re rest of the uk and they said they were committed to maintaining the uk's own internal market, so reiterating their criticisms of the initial proposal that brussels put forward on the backstop idea, and i think on that number ten is keen to stress that if you think back to the end of last year when brussels but the idea on th

david davis and borisjohnson david davis and boris johnson and the other hardliners are really hoping that if they can just keep kicking this down, the deadline will approach, "no, we don't have a deal! out we are" and we don't have a say. but to what end? what happens to trade? the commons vote was ultimately about... edmund theresa may was able to persuade all but two of ourmps to may was able to persuade all but two of our mps to back her brexit. it was a of our mps to back her brexit. it wasa minor of our mps to back her brexit. it was a minor triumph but as steve said, she still remains a pretty vulnerable figure with a bitterly divided conservative party. i would suspect she spent most of last week, trying to convince david davis not to resign. similarly, would—be rebels such as dominic grieve would have been encouraged to toe the line. yes, the government scraped through, without a defeat, but not without a price. there were climb—downs by the government on amendments that it was hard to know in many ways who exactly had won. but the division within the conservative party also

what stood out for me was that david davis was giving a stark warning to the eu.roject. as we heard in that clip from david davis, he was saying if you are going to harm britain when it comes to brexit, you will end up harming the whole of the eu. and another warning when it comes to security when he was referring to the eu's plans to kick the uk out of the eu's plans to kick the uk out of the galileo satellite project, which is crucial to defence. he said the eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the footjust eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the foot just to eu's position seemed to be shooting itself in the footjust to prove the gun works. so clearly, things between the two negotiating sides do not look friendly. and we should note that this all comes ahead of a crucial summit later this month, when the eu 27 leaders plus theresa may will get together. i cannot underestimate how much pressure there is to get some sort of progress in those talks. the timetable is extremely tight. to that end, we hear that there will be back stock proposals, as

liam fox, david davis, borisjohnson, her handbag a bit! all out publicly to date in a coordinated strategy to say that brexit will be great and it is a positive time for britain. it might look a bit desperate that they are still having to make those arguments two years later, like they feel they are losing the argument all have lost it. i find that rather hard to follow. they are saying what a great think brexit is and that is what the people of the country want. i talk to people in my constituency, and whether they voted to leave or not, they just want to get us whether they voted to leave or not, theyjust want to get us out whether they voted to leave or not, they just want to get us out as whether they voted to leave or not, theyjust want to get us out as soon as possible. and borisjohnson and david davis and liam fox are three superb cabinet ministers delivering brexit. your constituency voted overwhelmingly to leave, there are many where people voted by a narrower majority or voted to remain, and maybe you are not hearing the other si

i would suspect she spent most of last week, trying to convince david davis not to resign.arly, would—be rebels such as dominic grieve would have been encouraged to toe the line. yes, the government scraped through, without a defeat, but not without a price. there were climb—downs by the government on amendments that it was hard to know in many ways who exactly had won. but the division within the conservative party also reflects a very divided society, two years on from the brexit vote. and the kind of antagonistic arguments we are seen within the conservative party. i am an african and ugandan in london watching and i am enjoying watching this tragicomedy. it's like the british people are just walking towards the cliff, not knowing where they're going. what amazes me is how... you know, you taught us democracy and all those types of things. parliament represent the people. it amazes me how the prime minister and cabinet have to fight to take away the power of parliament, for fear that it's not going to do what they want. anyway, i think the difference between what happens

we had suggestions twirling on wednesday, with david davis, the brake secretary, that he might be residingat he wanted on one aspect of customs policy, that seems to get sorted for theresa may, for her tojump on a plane for the g7, and by the time she had landed in canada, there was a recording that had emerged of borisjohnson deriding a recording that had emerged of boris johnson deriding his a recording that had emerged of borisjohnson deriding his state of the talks, saying it could be headed for a meltdown. all of this of course has been building up and building up to a summit of eu leaders at the end of this month. we have been told that at that summit, we will likely, or sometime before, get a white paper from the government, a proposal, outlining how it saw the future relationship that it would have with the european union will stop we now learned from mrs may that it is not going to come out and what is more, although swirling problems that have been illustrated by borisjohnson and david davis, she has to try and sort all of this out at and away, at checkers, that premise to retrea

we had suggestions swirling on wednesday that david davis, the brexit secretary, or rather on thursdayone aspect of customs policy. that seemed to get sorted for theresa may, only for her to jump on a plane to the g7 and by the time she landed in canada to discover a recording had emerged of boris johnson deriding that the state of the talks, suggesting they could be heading for meltdown. now, all of this of course has been building up and building up to a summit of eu leaders at the end of this month. we had been told that at that summit we were likely, or some time before it to get a white paper from the government. that is a proposals document if you like, outlining how it saw the future relationship that it would have with the european union. we now learn from mrs may that is not going to come out, and what's more, all the kind of swirling problems that have been illustrated by borisjohnson and david davis this week, she is going to try and sort all this out at an away day at chequers, the prime ministerial retreat in the countryside. behind closed doors, to try and thrash it out,

the divisions between her own cabinet, laid bare all week, suggestions on wednesday that david davis one aspect of customs policy —— if he didn't. that seems to be sorted, but then she jumped on the plane to the g7, and when she arrived she has covered a recording from borisjohnson, in which he said the brexit talks were heading for meltdown. this is building up to a summit of eu leaders at the end of this month. we had been told at the summit we were likely to get a white paper from the government, a proposal document outlining how it saw the future relationship it would have with the eu and we now learn from theresa may that that is not going to come out and what's more, the swirling problems that have been illustrated by borisjohnson problems that have been illustrated by boris johnson and problems that have been illustrated by borisjohnson and david davis, she will try to sort this out at an away day at chequers, the prime ministerial retreat in the countryside, behind closed doors, to get everyone together, and theresa may is determined that she is going to get ahead of the agen

i don't think david davis and borisjohnson are listening at the moment i think tables set up and takengry people are about they see how angry people are about the mess we are making a brexit. it's all very well for them to say brexit is going to be brilliant, but they can't even agree amongst themselves, two years on, they are still squabbling amongst themselves about basic issues like our future trading agreements with our largest trading agreements with our largest trading partner and the basic questions like the irish border. they have made a total fist of it are not trying to sideline parliament, silence people and we've seen tens of thousands of people on the streets saying it's not good enough and we want a people's vote. the march will start at 1pm and then moved down to parliament square. there's also going to be a pro brexit march starting from another area and the police are keen to say they're going to keep protesters apart at this point, but we will have continuing coverage as it goes on through the day. charlotte gallagher, thanks very much. let's take a look at these pic

david davies suggests the n.h.s. shouldn't fund life extending drugs for the elderly now this is a of loads wouldn't it if the old just died with no medicine no doubt it would and of course this is hypocritical because you do exactly the opposite position what he was criticised in the welsh government which is labor run about three or four years earlier so i think people get fed up with hypocrisy from politics that are pretty outrageous well i mean yes not right just. sense you can't just switch machines off in the people dari drugs of a different guy goes according to. india's former drug illegal drugs well illegal drugs illegal drugs minister we're illegal as well illegal in this country but not illegal elsewhere and the fact of the matter is there was a very strong case for kind of fish being used for medicinal purposes as it has in many countries concerned an epileptic fit with the mother with the medicine kind of . bring it in the country because that's what he needs and i know plenty of people from my experienc
