that is dominic grieve saying that. what kind of reaction will that get?nservatives are faced with there's conservatives are faced with the option of, if they want to get their way and reject a no deal scenario, they have to bring down there prime minister. that was never going to be acceptable to them, so downing street must have decided, we have got the numbers and we can get this through. i can't see how the king get this through the house of lords without dominic grieve being on board, so we are looking at a scenario now where it goes back to the lord's on monday. there will be various things being voted on. i can't see them accepting this, which means it goes back to the house of commons and then those 15 or more conservatives who were in that room with the prime minister and said they looked in her eye and she said, i would thought this for you, they then have to decide how they are going to defeat the government, or are they going to fall into line? so yet again, we are coming to a crunch point which can't be delayed for much longer. clearly, this r

if we don't get the dominic grieve amendment or a version that is pretty much like it coming back toed in the house today, then i assume that the house today, then i assume that the house of lords will send back to the house of lords will send back to the comments and at that stage, those rebels who were given the absolute word of the prime minister will vote against the government and will vote against the government and will lose them. i think they know they have got to be serious about this and at the end of the day, what they are actually standing up for his parliamentary sovereignty. by brexiteers would say parliament voted to have a referendum, the people voted in the referendum to leave eu, why does there need to be any sort of final vote? with the people voted for was a return of sovereignty. to this country. sovereignty in this country resides in parliament. and this amendment will verify that as staunchly support the idea of sovereignty. it resigns here and we should have it. if you go out onto the streets people say let's just get on with it. this is not about stopping bre

dominic grieve is speaking on the amendment he has tabled.nment's view of what it should be and the suggestions that came from their lordship's house. i'd like to say here and now how deeply i object to the way they get vilified for doing the job that we have as them to do. to act as a revising chamber and to send back to this house proposals for our consideration. mr speaker, the issue has been highlighted by the earliest speaker which is about to perform a meaningful vote should take. there are two options in front of the house. the house will recall that when this matter first arose last week, the amendment that had come from the lords included a mandatory element, something which is rather constitutionally unusual. i don't think it has happened since the civil war in the 17th century. i seem civil war in the 17th century. i seem to recall it ended with a waving of this portable from oliver cromwell in relation to the mace. i apologise to the house that in trying to produce something else i probably didn't draft as well as i might have don

dominic grieve, we start with you.ote with them on your own amendment? just for background there was lords amendment which could have been voted on and on which the government might have been defeated. i could understand some of the government reservations so i came up with a compromise amendment of my own. that could not be voted on today, it could only be dealt with by a discussion with government unless the government had been prepared to accept it in its entirety and so there was found to be a discussion and that discussion was positive. so positive is enabled quite a large number of my colleagues to vote to remove the lords amendment and substitute the government amendment to which in due course we will have to tinker around with it in the lords after discussion to improve it. i have every confidence having spoken to the prime minister that we will be able to do that. did they give you the date, like november 30, we have to have a deal by then? the dates were not an issue, if there was any sort of problem or area,

dominic grieve is one person. phoning people this evening, trying to get people to say that this doesn't deliver the pledge and he has found one or two people willing to say that. the other 20 people in the room take a different view, including george freeman. i spoke to a number ten official who was in the room who has also said explicitly that the steel tabled this evening does make compromises, accurately reflects what was discussed on tuesday evening, and it does go further, it gives parliament extra opportunities to go and ask the government to think again, and that is fair and reasonable. it does not give parliament a meaningful vote, which is the aim of this amendment, on what would happen in a no deal scenario. it is a take it or leave it, you can have a rubbish deal or no deal, with parliament having no say. we are in a parliamentary democracy and you cannot have the executive vote. so parliament can approve or not approve any deal. if they do that or if no deal can be reached between the government and t

the dominic grieve amendment that was suggested, the government said we can talk to dominic grieve maybef kicking the can down the road. they are will starting soon. lucy, that resignation, that changed the atmosphere here? that's right, there was a reasonable confidence from no ten before we entered the commons today and an unexpected resignation from philip lee, a pro—remain minister. a lot of talk so far has been about brexiteers resigning. it was a shock and may have given courage to those conservative mps inclined towards remain who may be thinking about rebelling on the meaningful vote amendment. we have been describing this as a crisis, a critical day for theresa may. if she loses this vote, how damaged is she? massively damaged. there is a lot of votes going to happen today and tomorrow and maybe next week. but one vote matters is the issue of the meaningful vote f if this goes through, theresa may has lost control of the brexit process. it has never happened to a government before in a such a big negotiation. if that happens, all bets are off. i don't know where we go from there

joining me now the conservative mp dominic grieve and sarah wollaston mp. . what is in it? explain because we are talking about the most difficult part of the action today. one of the issues we have to consider is what we do at the end of this process, in ensuring parliament as they need for a vote and ensuring if we don't achieve a deal, parliament can both express its view and if necessary at the end of the process intervene because we would face a great national crisis. and there was a lords amendment which does that but i accept it is not com pletely does that but i accept it is not completely satisfactory and the government has tabled an amendment asa government has tabled an amendment as a replacement which i also i'm afraid don't think is sufficient so my own amendment is trying to bridge that gap and it would provide a mechanism to ensure the government has to come to parliament by the end of november if there is no deal in order 0pinion opinion of what it should do and it also will have to come to parliament if any deal they present is rejected. and

just to bring in dominic grieve who has been fighting to get a concession from the government.lised it must have an amendment, a further amendment to the bill which deals with parliament '5 role in the event of there being no deal and ensures that there is a structured way in which parliament can provide input to what would be in my view a national crisis. and what is your understanding of what you have been promised, they have not accepted your amendment today, parliament has just voted for kicking out the lords amendment. firstly you have to understand that the amendment which i tabled could not been voted on today in any event, i tabled not been voted on today in any event, itabled it not been voted on today in any event, i tabled it at the last minute because i wanted to try to a clash of doctor wanted to try to crystallise the issues and see if we could resolve them so i always knew it would not suddenly appear in the bill today but i think it enabled us to have a reasonable debate on the subject and to arrive at a point where we could support the government in rejecting t

unfortunately, i am having reached an agreement, dominic grieve and the solicitor general and othersreement data steadily on change. which is the way things sometimes happen. the apollo things sometimes happen. the apollo thing is is that nobody actually spoke to dominic grieve before they put an table that amendment at five o'clock this evening. i think that is unforgivable. you don't behave like this. i am very disappointed. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are political correspondent of the spectator, katy balls and the independent‘s political editor, joe watts. both of them well qualified to give analysis of that latest british fight. and of course all the other stories covered in the papers. rolls—royce is to cut more than four and a half thousand jobs in a major reorganisation. the company says middle management and office staff posts at its headquarters in derby are facing many of the cuts over the next two years. our business editor simon jack reports

it was certainly enough dominic grieve. if that is the issue, then having finally obtained, i have to say, with a little bit more difficulty than i would have wished, the obvious acknowledgement of the sovereignty of this place, and it's over the executive in black and white language, i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty and support it. i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty, and in the circumstances to accept the form of the amendment that it wants. thereon differences of opinion as to how much the government has really given away, how much of a concession the rebels have one. i am joined by hilary benn, and the conservative backbencher, jacob rees—mogg. do you feel let down by conservatives who decided to back the government? should they have done more to push for a meaningful vote, or do should they have done more to push fora meaningfulvote, or do think that parliament has now got that assures? i am sorry that dominic himself had moved, and wasn't carried by that. the government's position, i

rebel conservatives — led by the former minister dominic grieve — thought they'd reached a compromisent, but then accused ministers of a slap in the face when the final text was revealed. so, when the bill returned to the lords, a tory peer tried to reinstate the spirit of what the rebel mps wanted. if your lordships approve the bill, the house of commons will have an opportunity to consider a reprieve, the agreement negotiated in that faith. between the solicitor general and mr green. i'm grateful to my noble friend. and viscount. and he is indeed a friend and i have always found him very highly intelligent and very entertaining. however, on this particular point, on a point of clarification, could he say whether it remains his position that he wishes at all costs to destroy brexit? and that, in fact... you are an idiot. could he say, on a point of clarification, whether he wishes to destroy brexit? that is not a very parliamentary suggestion, i might say to the noble lord. and that this amendment is about sabotaging brexit because that means to be the case. on the second point of cl

dominic grieve, do you think this is going your way now?e. let me also say, i may have been a saboteur last december but the amendment which i crafted and which got carried in the house is now widely accepted as being sensible. which goes to show what happens when you startjust calming things down and looking at the reality. tomorrow's vote and wednesday's vote have been massively overhyped. there is no doubt, a threat to the prime minister, even if she were deflated, there are no threats, this is a process of taking complex legislation through parliament. has it been easy for you in terms of what you have chosen to do, you have had no sleepless nights? i have had plenty of sleepless nights, i always worry, particularly if i find myself in a difference of view with my party. i am delighted the customs union has been resolved, there are still outstanding issues. the meaningful vote remains an issue of difficulty. but i would urge my colleagues in the party to look very carefully at what the differences are on this issue because i think they

compromise to avoid a commons defeat on brexit has been rejected as "unacceptable" by leading remainer dominic grieve. theresa may had convinced most rebels, who want mps to have the final say on the final brexit deal, to back her in a key vote on tuesday night by giving them assurances. our political editor, laura kuennsberg, has more details. theresa may, you may remember, avoided a big defeat in the commons over the idea of giving parliament more power if the record deal goes soui’. more power if the record deal goes sour. but she only got through that and avoided defeat with a compromise, which was published at 5pm. some conservatives are furious, saying it was not acceptable and they were not consulted on the final version. brexiteers say they don't like it but the govermnent has to get on with it. theresa may has been accused of trying to get both sides on board. by disappointing remainers tonight, she has finally picked one side, perhaps. but the lines are drawn for another big showdown. the european union and the uk are meant to have a political divorce through brexit. but in these last few d

well, what we've agreed to is further discussions with dominic grieve and other concerned parties aboutake a further step forward on the important amendment that we made today. in your mind, all the government has agreed is to have further discussions, to try to find a way through. and there's a purpose to those discussions, which is a potentialfurther amendment in the lords. the remainers who piled into the prime minister's office believed that they had an assurance from her, that they could trust, that this would just be a discussion, it would be a change. there's an expectation that the discussion will yield some fruit, and i'm not saying it won't, and it could very well and up with another amendment in the lords. those are not the same thing, and there is an issue of trust here. i'm not going to just blithely come forward with a set of ideas that have not had the merit of consultation or scrutiny with colleagues. it's got to be done properly. but if, inside the party, inside a building, there are different versions of events, what the rest of us meant to make of it? brexit was never

dominic grieve later disappeared from the chamber could he have been making a deal with the government, the arguments raged on. those who support the house of lords are dressing up their arguments in terms of parliamentary sovereignty. it is in order, is it not, for parliament to debate, amend, as the house of lords can do, a bill. that's what we do all the time. but what they really want to do is create a situation in which the whole process is frustrated. and it's been said again and again, we ourselves voted 6—1 to transfer this decision from ourselves uniquely in our history to the people. they decided to leave. mr speaker, i know and i understand how difficult it is for many of my colleagues to go through lobbies and vote against their party. but i say this. i am getting a little tired of honourable members and right honourable members on the back benches in government, even in the cabinet, who come unto and others in quiet and dark corridors to british businesses who demand private meetings where they lay bare their despair and refuse to go public. to the commentators who said to

so the conservative, dominic grieve, revived his campaign to secure a meaningful vote for mps and whenu withdrawal bill came back, the issue was taken up. i have known him for very many years. he is a man of the utmost personal and professional integrity. i accept without reservation what he has said without those negotiations and may i say, in passing, the attacks on mr grieve in last week's press, especially in the daily mail, were disgraceful. and the authors ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. he produced an amendment to the bill which he said reflected the agreement he thought he had secured from ministers. he called it grieve number two. if your lordships approved, the house of commons negotiated in good in good faith. approved, the house of commons negotiated in good in good faithli am grateful to my noble friend. could he say that he would destroy brexit at all costs? could he say on a point of clarification whether he wishes to destroy brexit. this amendment is in fact about sabotaging brexit because that seems to be the case. yes, it is perfectly true. with many cro

dominic grieve today said it was passionate what he was talking about, that people on both sides haduse. i know he has been a victim of many death threats were taking a stance on what he sees as the right thing which is to have a softer brexit. whether there are certain hardliners who won't countenance that. sending him the most vile messages. it is poisoned the debate, not only amongst politicians but families. i know families who have fallen out, children who won't speak to their parents and vice—versa. it's almost analogous with the way trump has divided america. people feel so passionately about both sides and there should be more respect for people with differing opinions. i don't agree with you but i would die of the right to you to say your opinion. i do think it's important that we are more considerate three awards each other. it is also people understanding what goes on. that is not what the script to do. politicians are not really honest in what they are saying and i think that's what politics has become a dirty word. it doesn't help when your own colleagues are being horri

what we have agreed to his further discussions with dominic grieve and other concerned parties aboutrtant amendment that we made today. in your mind, all the government has agreed as to have further discussions to try to find a way through? and there's a purpose to those discussions, is a potential further amendment to those discussions, is a potential furtheramendment in the to those discussions, is a potential further amendment in the lords. the remainers piled into the prime minister's office believed that they had an assurance from her that they could trust that this would just be a discussion, it would be a change. there is an expectation that the discussion will yield some food, and i'm not saying it won't, and it could very well and up with another amendment in the lords. those are not the same thing, and there is an issue of trust here. am not going to just blithely come forward with a set of ideas that have not had the merit of scrutiny with colleagues, it has got to be done properly. but if inside the party, inside a building, there are different versions of events, what th

what do you make the first thing to say is that dominic grieve he chaired this inquiry the intelligence and security committee is a conservative but nonetheless one of the most well respected who is on all sides of politics in the u.k. parliament and i think that he and his committee have done an excellent job but within certain constraints so for example this committee ultimately answers to the prime minister and can only publish such material as is allowed by number ten downing street and the committee itself said that it wasn't allowed to interview the individual witnesses from the agencies and bouts of the problem and so i think that it's very important now that we have a full blown gigia. inquired they said a judge can actually call those witnesses and demand to be attendance of individuals because you know there will still be on the answer questions on the pulse of victims of torture and on the part of the british public i think secondly and this is equally damning the committee talked about present guidance this is guidance it's in operation even today in the nation to how agenci

corner in the afternoon when a key brexit rebel in the conservatives, former attorney general dominic grieved support the government — after receiving further reassurance from ministers. my view is that if that is the issue, having finally obtained, with little bit more difficulty than i would have wished. the obvious acknowledgement of the sovereignty of this place over the executive in black—and—white language. i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty and support it... i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty, and, in the circumstances, accept the form of amendment at once. -- it —— it wants. president trump has indicated that he will sign an executive order to end the controversial practice of separating migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. the move follow worldwide condemnation of the policy — which involves splitting up families members up while their cases are heard. the president was speaking in the white house a short time ago. the republicans want security and insist on security for our country, and we will have that at the same tim

we think the main players, dominic grieve, who has read it become the figurehead of the main conservativeif there is no deal. they don't want to be left with what they see as a pretty poor choice between no deal and crashing out, they would see it, on world trade organisation terms. that is what they tried to do to make sure that at the end of this process , make sure that at the end of this process, and we are getting their quite quickly, and three, 0ctober next year, of debris, now arch, that they are going to a say about what is going to happen next. theresa may has made it clear that she is trying to make sure that the result of the referendum is expected, she does not wa nt referendum is expected, she does not want it to be used as an excuse to somehow stop brexit happening, but she does accept that the government has got to be accountable to parliament. that is what they will try and come up with, and we will see whether they are able to square that circle. to those of us a bit perplexed, there is a sense that there is pounds building up at the end of the road which is getting short

the former attorney general dominic grieve, the leader of the would—be rebels — said he expected theates are likely to highlight yet again, two years on from the referendum, how both the conservatives and labour are deeply divided on what the uk‘s future relationship with the eu should look like. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster for us this morning. what is interesting about watching thatis what is interesting about watching that is that you can almost see the negotiations going on. this was right down to the wire. a dramatic day in parliament yesterday, with a very delicate operation for the government to keep their mps operation for the government to keep theirmps in line. operation for the government to keep their mps in line. and it seems like they have done enough, for now. because it is a question of mps who we re because it is a question of mps who were thinking about rebelling and voting against the government, having to take the prime minister‘s word for it on this key issue as they see it, on what would happ
