saying things like that, there are also esther mcvey, the work and pensions secretary, and again, a eurosceptic 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 theresa may to change her policy, but last night he said he was begi

as there are the eurosceptics in cabinet who don't have a plan to change things.sa may said nothing could be changed. this is it. exactly for that they were supposedly meant to talk about technological solutions to the border but haven't come up with that. and we still haven't got these 48 letters of no confidence in these 48 letters of no confidence in the pm, we are waiting on that. the pm looks as if she is hanging on another day, potentially in a week who knows? i think we are in a most weird bubble here. i personally, two yea rs weird bubble here. i personally, two years ago, did not vote for an irish backstop. i never thought that an irish backstop would occur. i think that many, many people voted for leave, er, and being ruthless and honest, it was about immigration. and then today, for the first time... if we move to the front of the independent, we can see her making this speech at the cbi. mrs may mentions european immigration. i don't think that they get how all of europe is going this way. we see this in scandinavia, we see this in austria, we see this

in government we re senior eurosceptics in government were in the party for years and didn't raise at it before. theresa may saying i am going in this direction, where are you going? none of her critics seem to have an answer to that although we are coming to one of the floated options. it is interesting that regardless of what brussels are saying, even in this article in the telegraph, we are still hearing quotes from people like iain duncan smith saying the deal must be challenged, there is a third way. we have heard from jean—claude juncker, this is not an option. no, as you say, as well as iain duncan smith, we have arlene foster and others saying no deal is better than this. for months they have been saying the reverse. there are voices clamouring from both sides. the likes of andrea leadsom still thinking perhaps about resigning, i leadsom still thinking perhaps about resigning, lam not leadsom still thinking perhaps about resigning, i am not sure what another resignation would do at this stage. but yes, the deal is now in its box, on the table, what are they going to do with i

for the eurosceptics, is to come down.may has to deliver to her cabinet colleagues and to her party, that, you know, we will have to settle for something. well, they are going into a secretive phase, apparently, the team, with barnier, michelle —— michel barnier, this secretive phase is called the "tunnel. are they literally going into a tunnel? -- the "tunnel". so a tunnel would be an improvement. there is no certainty that there is a light at the end of it. laughter. cani a light at the end of it. laughter. can i advise them to stick away from all of these various things that we can have fun out of? absolutely, and theresa may, you can imagine the private eye front cover. this is in the hope that donald tusk, president of the eu council, will have an extraordinary brexit meeting called, a summit, at the end of the month, they are thinking november 22, let's put bets on whether anything happens on november 20 two. and downing street... the day that president kennedy was assassinated —— november 22. that was 1963, we have

rees—mogg, the leader of the eurosceptics had this to saym rees—mogg, the leader of the eurosceptics ha rd eurosceptics had this to say. it is very hard to find anybody who wishes to see theresa may remain leader of the party at the next general election. although while he was able to put together a press conference to put together a press conference to talk about customs, he's not so far been able to get together support to oust the pm. if you can't persuade 47 of your colleagues to write letters in the way that you have to try to concede the prime minister, why should the public think that you got the first idea of how to organise brexit? actually what we are seeing from the government is a deliberate decision not to deliver a proper brexit. as for letters, patience is a virtue and virtue is a grace, etc, we shall see whether letters come in due time. five days, though, since they created a frenzy by calling for a vote of no—confidence. is the brexiteers power now in doubt? you have a reputation of being a fearsome organiser. with respect, do you feel daft? i don't at all. this gro

there is a growing sense if you listen to the eurosceptics that they don't believe the u.k.er exit from this backstop. reporter: this is the whole problem with her agreement from the eurosceptic or brexit point of view. it relies on the goodwill of the european union. what she told parliament here, this is an insurance policy. we want never to have to use it. the eu wants never to have to use it. we've put in line which to that effect. we will use our best endeavors. are looking at that and saying, what does that get us? in the end the eu has a veto over whether britain can leave that backstop. the fear is that they will be locked in this permanent customs union. she has no answer that other than to say there is no alternative. there is no deal without a backstop. this is the best we can do. vonnie: ultimately, even though she's going to spend the next few weeks trying to sell this to the u.k. public, ultimately she just really needs parliament. the dup has already said they are going to oppose it in parliament. this seems like it is a done deal unless she can come up with s

paul: theresa may is continuing to sell her brexit deal, saying her eurosceptic opponents do not haveo remove her. the vote on her leadership has been threatened but yet to be formally announced. may told her critics that relieving her will not change the situation. at the same time the ft says the chief eu negotiator is proposing the transition period be extended to the end of 2022. it is populist coalition says it is ready to talk to the eu about its budget, but the major spending issue must remaining place. the prime minister says the government is ready to a rhetoric -- is ready to eradicate whistle programs, but the basic reforms plan will stay. brussels is expected to reject that when it issues a review wednesday. the trump administration will issue its report into the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi on thursday. the killing was ordered at the highest level. there are reports to cia has concluded the crown prince approved the murder, although president trump says they met -- that may never be proven. the president also says the caa report is premature. >> well, will a

getting the deal past eurosceptics in her own party, with many on both sides of the debate reported to be unhappy. they will meet on downing street where they will decide to back it or resign. joins us outside number 10 providing further insights. it is a very divided cabinet that theresa may needs to get on this side. who will be really against this? very divided and again, the document, this technical deal being cut between the european union and the u.k., very few have seen it. andre told it is 400 pages one of the sticking points is stay in thet the eu customs union to get around the irish border. she wants to get a sense of whether this will clear parliament or not. theresa may will argue this is all we have. we will not get a better deal. at this point, we have to make a decision and it is a binary one. , there willf a deal be a special summit. now, time is running out for theresa may. francine: are there any chances that brussels give them a better deal? but are we hearing from the other side? you webrussels will tell just want to wait and see the focus point as the cabinet meet

that is another letdown for the eurosceptics. and there no no guaranteeand the britain can pull out of a customs relationship if it comes about on its own initiative when it wants and science new trade deals. it all added up to a hard sell in the comn.ns. prime ay: the negotiations are now at a critical moment, and all our efforts must be focused on working with european cepartners to bring this p to a final conclusion in the interest of our people. reporter: the labor leader had other ideas. mr. corbyn: we have dl pages of tw reporter: he has been accused of lacking clarity.ha that was hise against mrs. may. mr. corbyn: this document could have been written twoears ago. it is peppered with p"tases like parties will explore." what on earth has the government been doing the last two years? reporter: brexiteers hated the idea of being stuck in a close customs relationship under t so-called backstop plan. >> we have a horror of being in the customs union. the horrorre of northernnd under a different regime. reporter: and a potential

i'm joined by the established eurosceptic sir william cash and vera hobouse, liberal democrat.ten but i have been on the committee. as the chair tell us where we are at tonight with the votes first of all, or the no vote of confidence in theresa may? first of confidence in theresa may? first of all the withdrawal agreement, i think the sense of the house of commons was that it is not going anywhere, the numbers are not stacking up and i think that is commonly understood. regarding the question of a vote of confidence in the prime minister, letters are definitely getting in and i have known idea how many there are but i think they are agreeing quite strongly and it is more than possible that there will be confirmation. you will be conscious that there are a lot of people out there as the prime minister said today who will want you to get on with it and deliver brexit. what would you say to those people who are fed up to the back teeth of what is going on here in the westminster bubble? we have to go back to the main question which is the vote took place, which is a significant v

can get through the commons, because they will be looking at the document knowing exactly what euroscepticsmmons will be saying about it, about getting out of this mechanism, and it turns out the uk cannot do that unilaterally, they will be scouring the detail, now it is finally out there, that massive 550 page document. they will find things in there they do not like, so some people are saying this could be like a budget, where it all looks fine on the night, and as the days go on, it sta rts the night, and as the days go on, it starts to slightly unravel. i don't think she is out of the woods yet. said to be clear, there was no vote? we understand there was no vote. we also understand michael gove, one of the chief exponents of brexit, did back the prime minister, gave her his fulsome support, which might surprise some people? yes, i think his role in all of this has been fascinating from the beginning. he had a view that brexit is going to happen, unless something else happens, and people talking about a people's vote, trying to change it, trying to revoke article 50. i think he is one o

leading eurosceptic mp, jacob rees—mogg, submitted a letter of no—confidence in theresa may's leadershipdraft brexit deal ‘had turned out to be worse than expected'. theresa may then held a press conference, where she said she would see brexit through. she said "leadership is about making the right decisions, not taking the easy decisions", adding her brexit deal would deliver on what people voted for. our political editor laura kuenssberg now reports on today's turmoil at westminster. on 0 n exa ctly on exactly the spot where theresa may took on the job of prime minister... the march of the brexiteer is trying to walk her to the exit. and this is it, trying to force theresa may from office which could be the beginning of the end. what we need as a leader who will say to the european union that it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom. it is impossible to agree toa kingdom. it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union. it is impossible to pay £39 billion of taxpayers money for a few promises. what do you say to some of our viewers and listeners

he has a depth in business, experience in government departments, and he is very eurosceptic but he backedher side. i think he could unite the party. quite a challenge in itself. i don't think a committed brexiteer like borisjohnson or remainer like amber rudd could do that. you need somebody slightly more in the middle of the debate. you need somebody slightly more in the middle of the debatelj you need somebody slightly more in the middle of the debate. i think sajid javid is probably the front—runner, which is probably not a good place to be. i would say dominic raab is also a possibility, when you run the numbers. jeremy hunt. there is a lot of unhappiness at dominic raab's running away at this moment. possibly, but i think he has behaved with honour in that he attempted to shift the government position and attempted to say that the cabinet should try again. if one of these people emerged, how would they have a mandate to go back and do this next negotiation more effectively? in a sense they would have inherited, the second conservative prime minister in succession who has come in part

this melee isn't for a celebrity, but for a leading eurosceptic.ave a big flap. no need for a big flap, he says. he and his colleagues are only trying to depose the prime minister! it's time to put the letters in and to have the vote and test the will of the conservative party to continue. he and many brexiteers believe the prime minister has signed up to a relationship that's just far too cosy with the eu. so, letters are being written to try and force a contest. but they need 48. we've done our honest best to persuade her not to stick to it. she's made plain that she will, and therefore the party, i'm afraid, now faces a stark choice. and for you, that choice is, she has to go? well, if it means defending the destiny of our country, which i believe is literally what is now at stake, then, reluctantly, i'm afraid to say, yes, she does. it's impossible to tell right now if the tory tussles will end in the prime minister leaving office. no—one in westminster knows. hard for all of us to fathom. i think it's a complete shambles. you don't know from o

remember the dup have always been passionate brexiteers, but the rise of ukip they were the most euroscepticfor brexit, but they say not that this particular deal, they want the prime minister to go back to the negotiating table and get a better one, so you can expect that to be a major theme in arlene foster's speech. i think she will be looking at the situation closer to home at stormont, weather has not been at stormont, weather has not been at stormont, weather has not been at stormont, weather has not been a devolved government for almost, in fact there goes arlene foster on the way into the conference hall. she's going in along with many other party members to get the best seats in the house, for borisjohnson‘s speech, he will just before her, at around half past two. arlene foster's other main message besides brexit will be the situation in stormont power—sharing having collapsed almost two years ago after the correlation between the dup and the irish republican party sinn fein collapsed so i think arlene foster will be addressing that, we stayed in her party's and mitigating devoluti

but eurosceptics and northern ireland unionist allies crowded into parliament to condemn the draft, almostsoon as its existence was announced. for the first time in 1,000 years, this place, this parliament, will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. it is a quite incredible state of affairs. there's no chance of labour coming to the rescue. given the shambolic nature of the negotiations, this is unlikely to be a good deal for the country. we'll wait to see the detail but we have made it clear on a number of occasions, if it doesn't meet that test, we'll not vote for it. it's hard to see how this crowd with the odd famous face will be satisfied. there's a small, but noisy group in parliament who think that are strengthening and will vote no as they want another choice. i am not going to accept a deal that will undermine our credibility in the whole of the rest of the world, because even if some people in my party cannot see it is a bad deal, everyone else around this entire planet can. cheering and applause the man in charge of trying to get the deal through parliament was
