mcvey wanted there to bea cabinet, esther mcvey wanted there to be a vote but it looks like there wasnet secretary who was a civil servant who made it clear it was not the dayjust back she is said to be on the brink. yes, i think there is quick to be a fair bit of positioning over the next 24 hours. no one has resigned yet but after the chequers deal no one resigned straightaway. people will be seen how this pans out the political party and then see what they do next month i think is interesting is there is a real marked change in tone for the prime minister today, she had marked change in tone for the prime ministertoday, she had up marked change in tone for the prime minister today, she had up the rhetoric. the headline, there will be difficulties had. i think she is saying to tory mps be careful what you wish for, if you put this down it could be a back door to a jeremy corbyn government and if the it is an election, i think many tory mps will be punished by the electorate and lose a seat. she was critics busted that if this does not go according the way that she was to ago that br

amber rudd returns to cabinet as work and pensions secretary to replace esther mcvey. the appointments follow news that leave supporter michael gove will stay in government to support the proposed agreement do you have confidence in the prime minister? i absolutely do, it is vital that we concentrate on getting the right deal in the future and making sure that in the areas that matter so much to the british people we can get a good outcome. we'll bring you all the latest from here in westminster. i'm ben brown — the other main stories on bbc news at 5. the number of people missing after the california wildfires more than doubles to 630. guilty of genocide — the historic court verdict against two former leaders of the khmer rouge sold! a david hockney painting becomes the most expensive work by a living artist ever sold at auction. a safe house in paris. why would i

dominic raab and esther mcvey have both gone.t you want to put to the country with conviction, in good conscience i cannot do that. i respect and hold her in high esteem. i think she should continue but we need to change course. the prime minister faces criticism from all sides in parliament as she wants the deal put through. it would mean more uncertainty and a division and hiwula to put through the decision of the british people and we have to leave the eu. every get behind the deal we can get our country back together and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. the labour party has said the deal is not what the country promised and says the government is falling apart. the government, mr speaker is in chaos. the deal risks leaving the country on an indefinite half way house without a real say. the conservative mp and prominent brexiteerjacob rees—mogg course of the prime minister to stand down, saying she has not honoured for promises to the nation. well, jacob rees—mogg handing in his letter short time ago. i would like to sh

he was followed shortly afterwards by esther mcvey and a number of junior shortly afterwards by esthernd a number ofjunior ministers have also resigned. mrs may has spent the morning in the house of commons as —— answering questions from mps and there's speculation a leadership challenge could be imminent. are you going to resign? she hadn't meant that she has now come esther mcvey became the second cabinet minister to walk out over the brexit divorce deal, following the man in charge of the brexit talks out of government. dominic raab now the second brexit secretary to quit the job saying he couldn't support what was now on the table. the terms proposed to the cabinet yesterday i think had two major and fatal flaws. the first is the terms being offered by the eu threatened the integrity of the uk and the second is they would lead to an indefinite if not permanent situation where we would have no say of the rules or laws applied and that would be damaging for the economy but devastating for public trust in our democracy. there we re public trust in our democracy. there were more resign

it will be mightily interesting the next time we hear from the likes of esther mcvey and penny mordaunts in the cabinet. we are going to hearfrom iain duncan smith who joined me we are going to hearfrom iain duncan smith whojoined me on we are going to hearfrom iain duncan smith who joined me on the phone now. thank you for your time this morning. norman smithjust saying that this departure, this resignation by dominic raab, has opened up a political crisis for theresa may. that is undoubtedly the case, isn't it? yes, i have major misgivings about this and i am ploughing through these 500 pages, but the very man who is the negotiator, for him to resign and say he doesn't think it is a good deal, i think it's devastating. it is devastated because he has been aware of all of these things and he has been raising these alarm bells with the prime minister, but it sounds like he has been ignored, because otherwise i suspect we would not be in this place. the biggest problem with this deal, which ijust can't see how the government will get over, is that we are locking ourselves into a perpetua

he isjust getting the details from esther mcvey‘s resignation letter.! esther mcvey goes, and that could be no surprise because she is thought to be one of those who is most argumentative, most unhappy with the pm at the cabinet yesterday, and some suggest she got into an argy—bargy with the chief whip and she demanded a vote. anyway, she has gone. similar reasons to dominic raab. she said in her resignation letter, look, the deal you are doing does not deliver on the referendum, and she cites the issue of taking back control. her fear, and she cites the issue of taking back control. herfear, like dominic raab's fear, is that the backstop deal with northern ireland means we are out of control and we don't have are out of control and we don't have a grip on when we can leave the temporary customs arrangement, and there is a danger of northern ireland being treated separately. but what happens next? it seems to me that all the brexiteers are looking at each other thinking dominic raab has gone and esther mcvey has gone so what am i doing in the cabinet? i

and his resignation was followed by that of the work and pensions secretary esther mcvey, who said inetter that the deal does not honour the result of the referendum. two junior miss ministers have quit as well, the northern ireland minister shailesh va ra northern ireland minister shailesh vara in remain supporter and dominic raab‘sjunior vara in remain supporter and dominic raab‘s junior minister suella braverman went as well from the brexit department. and another member of the government, trevelyan, a secretary and department for education, has stepped down. we'll might be the end of the resignations today? that is a question we don't know the answer to. dominic raab has been speaking exclusively to our political editor about his decision this morning to stand down as brexit secretary. here is what he had to say. iam fighting say. i am fighting for a good brexit deal but the terms proposed to the cabinet yesterday have two major and fatal flaws, the first that the terms offered by the eu threaten the integrity of the uk and the second is that they would lead to a indefinite or per

resignations by two senior cabinet ministers secretary dominic rob and work and pensions secretary esther mcvey quit saying the deal did not go far enough in breaking ties her feet.

the now former work and pensions secretary esther mcvey who resigned from the cabinet last week overexit deal with dudley asked her whether the uk will in fact definitely leave the eu on the 29th of march 2019 and the prime minister responded it definitely would. nevertheless there was pressure from all sides about an agreement which she has reached with brussels which has not gone down very well in any quarters here at westminster. for the moment thank you very much. jonathan blake or political correspondent with the latest from westminster. now the latest from westminster. now the latest weather from darren bett. good evening. it didn't seem cold for most of us today but a dusting of snow over some high ground. in derbyshire earlier on. nothing unusual about that. the weather changed across many other parts of england and wales with some welcome sunshine earlier on today. the clearer skies make mean temperatures fall away for now. it could be quite frosty overnight. not much rain around. a few showers. heavy in the south—west. they will move away. a few showers in northern ireland

esther leader, thank you. -- mr. leader, thank you. ok -- [applause] thank you, everybody. president, [ indiscernible] pres. trump: no, but people have to behave. i think you both were treated very unfairly. they do not listen to the rules and regulations, we will end up back in court and win. more importantly, we will just leave. and then you won't be very happy. because we do get good ratings. reporter: [] indiscernible] decorum.mp: you cannot take three or four questions and sit down. decorum. you were there. we want total freedom of the press. that is important to me. more important than what people would believe but you have to act with respect coming you are in the white house. when i see how some of my people are treated in the press conferences, it is herbal. always freedom of the press. always first amendment. but that is the way it is. and we'll is have the option of just leaving. that people are not being treated properly, we always had the right to leave. press willedia or not be happy. i have instructed my people that if you're not treated properly coming your

, esther mcvey resigned, a fewjunior ministers also resigned and people were wondering whether shikhaichael gove didn't resigned —— she could hang oi'i. didn't resigned —— she could hang on. if michael gove went on tuesday theresa may would have been in trouble and it would have opened the gateway for brexiteers to leave the government. that was a close run thing, he was wavering. mr gove, having done in two prime ministers, he thought the third might be problematic for his reputation, so he decided to stay, promote and try to clean off the edges of mrs may's brexit deal. this polling is fascinating because my sense has always been that yes, brexiteers have concerns legitimate with mrs may's steel, yes it's not a perfect deal but it's the best deal on offer. the only one on offer at the moment! when you put this out to punters in the country and you get beyond the ideological purity of a hard, clean brexit, people want to get on with it and they want mrs may to do it. this polling backs that up. this doesn't make herjob easy, she's got a difficult week ahead and she's got a difficult

theresa may would not agree to, but if penny morduant is saying things like that, there are also estherey, the work and pensions secretary, and again, a eurosceptic who has a cabinet voiced concerns about the direction she thought this was all going in, and the other thing that has been happening is all sorts of rumours about the triggering of a leadership contest. we have heard this for months, probably years. the mechanism is that 48 conservative mps would have to put a letter in to one of the conservative party grandees, and once that happens, it triggers a no—confidence vote in the prime minister, and which all conservative mps would take part in. if we she we re mps would take part in. if we she were to win that, she is safe for a year, they can't challenge again, but if she were to lose, then a leadership contest would be challenged. up until now, various mps said they had or had put in these letters, but yesterday jacob rees—mogg, a leading brexiteer, he said that up until now he is very much felt it is not about the person, it is about the polity, and he's hoping to persuade the

it also has the esther mcvey around it, it is interesting here because it says she was caught betweenil and the deep blue sea but this is the whole issue here, while people might not like this deal there is not coherent alternative that cabinet ministers are coming up with. this is why they are stuck in a hard place and this is why ultimately she will survive i think. it will be bruising but i think she will get through this. i think different factions in the party keeper in place because there is no obvious leader to come through. keeper in place because there is no obvious leader to come throughm that you take on it? yes, twitter obviously goes wild on a night like this and itjust goes crazy and so many rumours swirl around but if you listen to some of the stuff that has been said on the record, particular by the hardline brexiteers and the conservative party, that they are seriously considering putting those letters in which is the process to do that. the chairman of the backbench 22 committee collects these letters, was in seeing the prime minister this evening but we we re prime

i think it is possible figures, names mentioned gun penny mordaunt, esther mcvey, could walk —— namese response of downing street has been to say to ministers, look, this is as good as it gets, just go with it. ok, norman, for the moment, thank you. let's talk to our business editor dominic o'connell. what reaction has there been from the business world so far?|j what reaction has there been from the business world so far? i talk to business leaders in northern ireland and they say the big fear was a no—deal brexit that would cost a lot of money, there is lots of trade across the border between the republic and northern ireland so there was a big fear of no—deal brexit so this was a step in the right direction. they went further, though, and they said the customs union and a further regulatory alignment between the eu and northern ireland which is envisaged we think in the proposed deal, was very welcome. it goes without saying that the things they like, the dup and other brexiteers do not like. while they may like it it is not the end of the story. dominic, for the moment, thank you

in response, brexit secretary dominic raab resigned yesterday morning, followed by esther mcvey and twoaid she would see brexit through, and answered questions from the public on lbc radio this morning. meanwhile, questions remain over how many mps have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister, after leading euroscepticjacob rees—mogg announced that he had. but mrs may looks to be clinging on for now, leading brexiteer and environment secretary michael gove has said he will not resign. in the past few hours, the prime minister has announced that stephen barclay and amber rudd willjoin the cabinet, as brexit and work and pensions secretary respectively. with me to discuss where this week leaves theresa may‘s premiership and the brexit process arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent, and asa bennett, brexit editor at the daily telegraph. we are reaching the point where the strain of brexit is starting to terror apart the fabric of westminster. you have the governing party doesn‘t want its leader to be prime minister, but doesn‘t have any idea who co

he was swiftly followed by the work and pensions secretary, esther mcvey — and a clutch ofjunior aidese withdrawal agreement is all about how the uk leaves the european union — not the permanent future relationship. it covers things like the divorce bill, eu citizens rights and crucially — the northern irish border during what's known as the transition period immediately after brexit. parliament had — one way or another — spent much of the week talking about brexit, but it was her three—hour statement to parliament on thursday that saw the tension peak — and the prime minster forced — again and again — to defend the agreement. i know it has been a frustrating process and forces to confront very difficult issues. but a good brexit, a brexit which is in the national interest is possible. we have persevered and have made decisive breakthrough. once the final deal is agreed i will bring it to parliament and i will ask mps to consider the national interest and give it their backing. voting against a deal would take us all back to square one. the withdrawal agreement and outline political de

things become a bit more problematic, people have cited the names of people like penny mordaunt, estheraunt, the international development secretary, was seeing mrs may about 8:30am this morning, for about half an hour, so quite a short meeting. lot of speculation about whether she could possibly quit. i just sense that the mood isn't quite therefore that open revolt. in part because the stakes are so revolt. in part because the stakes are so enormously high if there was to bea are so enormously high if there was to be a mass resignation or pivotal figures were to quit, that would probably scupper mrs may's brexit deal. it could fatally undermine her leadership. it could sort of cascade us leadership. it could sort of cascade us towards no deal. the stakes for individual ministers are enormous. they have some really tough decisions to make, never mind all their doubts and reservations about brexit. i think mrs may has been quite canny about this in the way she has chosen to see individual ministers one—on—one, in other words to eye ball ministers one—on—one, in other words to eyeball th

esther mcvey and penny mordaunt, the work and pensions secretary and the international development secretarytomorrow have a choice in front of them, 2pm meeting, do they support the deal or walk out? michael heseltine resigned in 1985. it is hard for them to resign for maximum impact when she loses, if she loses, in parliament, which many things she well because of the deal. they've all got half an eye on the leadership in the future. michael gove going now... they all have? it's going to be a mighty big leadership election! there's at least three people in that list to fa ncy least three people in that list to fancy their chances, and one of their michael gove has to decontaminate himself from last time when he was wanting the job himself. he was then borisjohnson's right—hand man and he stabbed boris in the back, the tory party doesn't like as having its next leader of the assassin of the leader who was toppled. they have to play a tricky game if they want to take over from may but in a peaceful way without having a general election. it's really high—sta kes calculations. to be all sorts o

home secretary, sajid javid, and the chancellor wondered if it was achievable, and brexiteers like estherr doubts. and here is penny mordaunt today, not exactly oozing enthusiasm for the government's plan. the important thing is that there is two checks on this deal, cabinet and parliament. cabinet'sjob is this deal, cabinet and parliament. cabinet's job is to this deal, cabinet and parliament. cabinet'sjob is to put this deal, cabinet and parliament. cabinet's job is to put something to parliament that is going to deliver on the referendum result. meanwhile over the weekend, the labour leader jeremy corbyn said the brexit train can't be stopped. but take a look at this from, yes, his brexit spokesman. yes or no, can brexit be stopped? yes, technically it can be stopped? yes, technically it can be stopped but the question is, what decisions will arise and what about the vote? and this former labour prime minister reckons there will be another referendum. but he is worried. if nothing changes, then we will be an even more divided britain, there is no doubt in my mind about that, more divid

his departure was followed by the work and pensions secretary, esther mcvey, who also said she couldport the draft withdrawal agreement. a number ofjunior ministers also stepped down, including suella braverman from the brexit department and shailesh vara. at 10:30am, theresa may went to the commons, where she spent three hours defending her plan. but she was roundly criticised, not least by mps on her own side. and, following that statement, the leading brexit supporter, jacob rees—mogg, submitted a letter of no—confidence in mrs may's leadership. the prime minister then held a news conference, insisting her plan was the best available and that she would see it through. we'll have all the latest developments and reaction, with more details of the prime minister's plan, and what it could mean for households and business. but we start with this report on a day of turmoil from our political editor laura kuenssberg. there seems to be a certain interest in today's proceedings. on exactly the spot where theresa may took on the job as prime minister, the march of the brexiteers, trying to
