we were talking about big players, iain duncan smith, david davis, owen paterson, people who are notssle is far from over. indeed, we may hear a bit of it in the commons today, because we know there is going to have to be legislation to get this through, which means that there is an opportunity for tory mps to try and coalesce and find some sort of mechanism to scupper these proposals, so that is a battle looming down the line, and it is interesting the way those sorts of more routine political battles have replaced the old front of brexit. is the prime minister standing up? i think he is. thank you, mr speaker, it is two years to the day when a chemical weapon was deployed by russian intelligence on the streets of salisbury. all our thoughts stay with those affected and their friends and family. we seekjustice for them. salisbury is back on its feet, focused on the future l welcoming visitors with welcome mars. this house would want to make tribute to the people of salisbury and wish them well for the future. i shall add further such meetings later today. as the government prepares

me in new york is rick davis, bloomberg contributor and former manager of john mccain's campaign. davidd adam posen still with me as well. what was your biggest take away from last night? rick: the only surprise was from the biden can't. bernie did what we thought he was going to do. he won california, the big prize. he had been devoting resources to that tv and ground game at a time when nobody else was. that was really a lifesaver for him last night because without california, it was a dismal showing. all of the surprises were on biden's side. he beat elizabeth warren at home in massachusetts. he won texas, which had been written off for dead. his minnesota win was particularly crazy because he was pulling at 8% a week before the election in that state, and wound up winning it. these prize in the political world right now is looking up to find out that the biden campaign is no longer on life-support. if anything, it is the incumbent narrative now that bernie is going to have to be biden, not the other way around -- have to beat biden, not the other way around. alix: you got a boost in
