david davis was at the forefront of all those negotiations.all the ministers gathered together at the ministers gathered together at the uk prime minister's summer residence chequers and went over what we called a policy document do what we called a policy document do what they came out with were the proposals that theresa may would ta ke forward proposals that theresa may would take forward to the eu to say this is how we want our future relationship with the eu to look like. what they wanted was unity on these matters. and she was harsh about it in the sense that like it or lump it, if you do not toe the line then resigned. and here we see the first very high profile resignation in her cabinet. and now, of course, in the next few hours we will blow over this, whether this house of cards collapsing around her. ringing you some information that theresa may has responded to david davis's resignation letter, still waiting to get the contents of that letter and his exact words but she says he disagrees with david davis's characterisation of brexi

they signed up johnson and david davis? they signed up to johnson and david davis? of commons fully appreciated the implications of what happened on friday yet. i don't think the public have. we have already seen a movement in the polls, as people become aware of the full implications of the proposals put forward by the prime minister at chequers, the country will be an uproar. according to mrs may, the uk is leaving the single market, the customs union, we will be controlling our own immigration, british courts will be in charge, and all of that without breaking up the union. job done! have you read the union. job done! have you read the independent legal advice on the opinion on the deal?” the independent legal advice on the opinion on the deal? i have read mrs may's three page briefing, we are all waiting for the white paper.” have read the independent legal opinion from an expert in eu law, and we will not be leaving the single market, we would be captured asa single market, we would be captured as a captive market for ever, for overpriced eu goods, under their

tonight, david davis and boris johnson are still in post.david davis and borisjohnson are no longer in government, having expressed their strong dislike of the brexit strategy. in mrjohnson‘s case that dislike asman expressed this evening in the strongest terms. how secure is mrs may? word is at leave the uk approach to the last phase of the brexit talks? laura kuenssberg is back. let's focus on the prime minister's own position. how do you read it? there are two competing theories. one is this day looks like a complete fiasco. you have a group of d oze ns a complete fiasco. you have a group of dozens of tory rebels adamant privately they are going to do everything in their power to stop this chequers compromise brokered at the end of last week from going ahead. dark mutterings about threats of more ministers walking out. we don't know how committed they are to that. how seriously are they going to try to take any potential moves against theresa may. the competing theory is, well, this has been a very rocky day. but actually, theresa may may

the contrast between david davis and michel barnier could hardly have been starker. eezy air of self—confidence, optimistic it would turn out well, in spite of the growing evidence to the contrary, versus barnier, a sticklerfor detail, methodical, irritated at the lack of british progress. it is clear that the uk does not feel legally obliged to honour its obligations after departure. how can we build trust and start discussing our future relationship? there were criticisms of the brexit secretary's apparent lack of preparedness. last year, he appeared for a meeting with mr barnier with no notes or documents at all. but last month, it emerged that davis had spentjust four hours with michel barnier this year. to those paying close attention, the nitty—gritty of the job was being passed to a man in the background, senior civil servant 0lly robbins. 0nce part of david davis' team, he now reports directly to the prime minister. what david davis did was he kept the conservative party together in the sense that, as long as he was in the cabinet, conservative brexiters could

our top story: brexit secretary david davis has resigned from government. ws was confirmed just before midnight, when he sent a letter to theresa may saying the current trend of policy and tactics was making it look less and less likely that the uk would leave the customs union and single market. the resignation comes just days after the prime minister secured the cabinet's backing for her brexit plan during an away day at chequers. theresa may says she is sorry to see him go but disagrees with his characterisation of policy. mr davis is not the only one having doubts. brexit minister steve baker has also left his post. the leading tory brexiteerjacob— rees—mogg urged theresa may to rethink her approach to leaving the european union. she is the person who has been in charge of this process, and if she feels that the chequers summit does not deliver on the previous commitments, then i think that should concern all of us —— he. these proposals will have to come to the house of commons in legislation, andi the house of commons in legislation, and i think withou

david davies discussing his resignation.h of a woman exposed to a nerve agent in wiltshire are continuing to stress that the risk to the wider public is low. dawn sturgess and her partner are believed to have fallen ill after handling an item contaminated with novichok. assistant commissioner neil basu is the uk's counter terrorism chief — and he gave this update to reporters at scotland yard earlier this lunchtime. it is both shocking and utterly appalling that a british citizen has died having been exposed to a knowledge of nerve agent. make no mistake, we are determined to find out how dawn and her partner charlie came into contact with such a deadly substance and we will do everything we possibly can to bring those responsible to justice. we possibly can to bring those responsible tojustice. 0ur immediate thoughts and prayers are with dawn's family. they are coming to terms with the loss of a loved one in unimaginable circumstances. she was only 44 years old. she leaves behind two grown up sons aged 19 and 23 and an 11—y

david davis was teetering a while ago.s actually resigned, he has threatened to resign a few times. iam has threatened to resign a few times. i am glad he has come to this decision. why didn't he resigned on friday? he has effectively gone into chequers, signed up as a member of cabinet to collective responsibility that this is the negotiating plan the government will use going forward , the government will use going forward, and we get to sunday night and he has changed his mind. i am surprised he effectively signed up to it, allowed the impression to go out that the cabinet was united around it, and hours before the prime minister is due to make a statement in the house of commons and crucially met her mps to sell the plan, he has resigned. my first thought is that i don't think it will have the impact he thinks it will have the impact he thinks it will have. i think he thinks it will bring down the government and start a chain reaction in which michael gove and boris johnson a chain reaction in which michael gove and bo

here's a david davis protege and if anything he is more hardline than david davis.s. i don't believe for a minute that dominic raab believes in this negotiating position. he may be a little more inscrutable than david davis are not have the sort of economy that david davis has. when he sits opposite michel barnier is he going to believe what he is saying? i find, i struggle to believe it. where do we go from here, do you think?” struggle to believe it. where do we go from here, do you think? i think it's difficult. the government made a promise on the irish border and vote leave made a promise on the irish border that cannot be reconciled with a proper brexit. you have to have regulatory and custom circuitry. they have another problem with what happens in terms of our freedom to strike trade deals, which can be reconciled with that and it has an unwillingness and seemingly inability to either understand that trade off, let alone communicate it to anyone else and at some point you assume those incompatible positions will have a head—on collision of the big deal to me

will she replace david davis, and if so, with her?stion that michael gove will be the sort of replacement of david davis and he has put himself out there as the brexiteer that remainers can work with, which is a convoluted sort of statement. most of this is about how civil servants negotiate between each other and mr davies's nose was put out ofjoint because the chief was moved into number ten, away from him. ithink was moved into number ten, away from him. i think this is really down to bureaucrats to sort out. i think thatis bureaucrats to sort out. i think that is where it will go. it was a lwa ys that is where it will go. it was always going to be a soft and not a ha rd always going to be a soft and not a hard brexit, which is what the brexiteers wanted, and i think we will get more of that going forward. we will look through the other stories in our news briefing and the media's analysis of what some are calling disarray in government, as david davis resigns as brexit secretary. we will be live to brussels to get reaction to all

everybody discussing the decision of david davis, what is your take?hree reasons he went, firstly is the shape of the deal which is different from what he hoped, he wanted to have managed by buttons and our own trade policy and do things our own way, and this thing about a common rule book which means things would be a light when it comes to goods. there is the way it comes to goods. there is the way it was negotiated. he had a dwindling role in the negotiations as one of the powerful civil serva nts to as one of the powerful civil servants to overcome the only had four rows negotiating face—to—face with michel barnier and he was being sidelined and he was also meant to go on sidelined and he was also meant to goona sidelined and he was also meant to go on a tour of european cities to be the salesperson for this deal and in his letter he described himself asa in his letter he described himself as a conscript rather than a willing leader on it. for all of those reasons he thought that they needed a secretary of state in this department who would be more

worked for david davis and so is very much on the same page as david davis, albeit he'sjoined is very he's joined the cabinet and therefore at the moment is part of the chequers agreement. you have not explained mill gibson. would you like me to? david davis says it's not the best outcome if there is no deal, it's not the best outcome although people getting terribly frightened about it as if it's the end of the world, it's not like that. you have two extremes, utopians and dystopian is. at one end you expect mill gibson to walk oi'i end you expect mill gibson to walk on stage and at the other end it's buy nothing will happen. i don't think that reassures anybody and does not add a lot to the sum total of whether a no deal will be catastrophic. that was a rather tenuous link. what he does say which is also interesting and whether you accept it or not is dependent on your views and so on, he says what's the problem at dover because one of the problem at dover because one of the problems raised often is queues at dover and nobody can get out and he says, we have had lots of problems at
