effie is returned and evenif more. yes.if you do not was a hung parliament, he is still prime minister until he is replaced, gordon brown after the 2010 election in which a lot of majority was replaced by the coalition, he stayed in office for some days which is the right thing to do because that has to bea right thing to do because that has to be a government so you would write until a clear successive government had emerged. effie is primus that he can lay legislation for the parliament urgently asking them to repeal this act but if you do not have a majority that would not go through. until it is repealed by parliament and it is binding on him. when you are as an academic and observer of how the different parts of our circle constitution work, what do you make what you have seen? ina what do you make what you have seen? in a sense the constitution is functioning, parliament has legislated, it is extreme with unusualfor legislated, it is extreme with unusual for them to legislate directly against the wishes of the governm

evenif could they not look at the context?as just about naga munchetty, you said they didn't mention dan walker, can they not look at the fact he initiated the conversation? there is a mention of dan walker in the finding that they have put together in the letter to the complainant. and it does indicate that than water's dilution was not helpful in the conversation. dan walker led naga munchetty to the conclusion is that she eventually made, including the statement bite naga munchetty herself. so it is a more complex and nuanced situation and some of the people who have reacted to the headlines in the newspapers and other and elsewhere have appreciated. what puzzle some viewers as well if that's naga munchetty physically said in the clip was that she specifically wasn't accusing anyone of anything. out of the ecu come to the conclusion that somehow her comments crossed a line and it seems to be accusing trump? she said that at the outset but, unfortunately, toward the end of the discussion, she eventually ventured into specula

constantly we are leaving with or without a deal in october, he could not possibly go to the eu now, evenif now, even if the law said he did. so his options are to ignore the law and break the law, pretty unlikely, you resign and talk away, pretty unlikely, or he has a general election. if the law is changed on next few days, the bbc understands he will try to get an election on the 14th of october, which is a monday which is unusual. he hopes to win and go to the eu council meeting and get some concession from the eu and get some concession from the eu and use the next few weeks to get ideal. meanwhile the opposition mps are pressing ahead with their plan. we have seen some news of what the intent to put forward to speaker tomorrow. what do we knew about them? this is a cross-party group, people like philip hammond, david gauke, the snp stephen gethins, hilary benn from labour. they are saying if there is no deal by 31st of october, the prime minister has to go to the eu and ask for readily, and extension of three months until the end of january. and extension of three months until the end

programme but medicate for all is one of those scary phrases that could turn off moderate voters, eveniff it gets liberal democrats excited. what about the issue of gun control. they have been to mass shootings, one in the state of texas where this debate was held. beto 0'rourke came out really strongly on this. all candidates have moved to the left of this issue just with a number of mass shootings in the country. it is hard for them not to respond and to take some of the sta nces respond and to take some of the stances of beto 0'rourke. he talked about taking away people's guns so they are not used against fellow americans but this is another issue thatis americans but this is another issue that is hot. democrats do not want to be accused by republicans of trying to take away people's second amendment rights and remember, president 0bama said a long time ago, people in rural america cling to their guns and their religion. that still is the case. according to many analysts. you do not want to needlessly provoke people... while we have you that, this was the first opportunity for the thr

perform pretty well and they think that central message of brexit would actually be pretty popular, evenifn if it has created a few bumps in the road for the british prime minister in the last few weeks. there is a kind of stoicism here that says, let see what happens, but we are likely to end up in a general election campaign relatively soon and they are pretty confident up against the left—wing leader of the opposition party, the labour party, that they can win and win with the reasonable majority. one caveat worth inserting, the former conservative prime minister theresa may thought exactly the same in 2017 and went backwards. thank you very much. exit polls in austria suggest that the conservative party led by the former chancellor sebastian kurz has won the largest share of the votes in the country's snap election. mr kurz told jubliant supporters at his party's headquarters that the result had left him almost speechless. the polls suggest he's won about thirty seven per cent of the votes, well clear of the next biggest party, the centre left social democrats. the first thing is that

someone else —— could this alienate people who want to see the result of the referendum expected evenifgree with that? clearly there is a risk with a people's that if people wanted no deal and it is not on the ballot paper that they will be unhappy with that vote and equally, if boris johnson rams through no deal, which is what he seems intent on doing, absolutely nobody voted for that three years ago and they will be entitled to be angry with our prime minister. and what if you do not win a general election, go back to supporting a people‘s? a general election, go back to supporting a people's? that is our policy. thank you. and after that result in the conference room earlier, revoking article 50 if the liberal democrats when the next general election. thank you. david cameron has accused prime minister, boris johnson, of not believing in brexit, when hejoined the leave campaign, in the run up to the referendum. in an extract from the former prime minister‘s memoirs, published in the sunday times, he says mrjohnson backed leave — "because it would help his political career". here‘s ou

herjustin trudeau, if in a people stay home, evenif trudeau, if in a people stay home, even if it iso to another party —— if the votes did not go to another party, that could be it for him. next, brexit. the uk has shared documents with the eu which detail ideas for a changed brexit deal. but — before anyone gets carried away — these aren't formal proposals, they're just ideas at this stage. and their focus is the irish border backstop. we talk about it pretty much daily on 0utside source. this is the part of the current withdrawal deal that keeps the uk aligned to the eu customs union until both sides agree a way to a new trade deal — it does this to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. boris johnson wants the backstop gone. the eu says ok, but only if you provide an alternative which delivers the same outcome. well, today, the uk's brexit secretary gave a speech in madrid. it was blunt at times. here's some of it. the clock is ticking for us all, so let's work creatively to secure a deal, a deal the uk is committed to getting, a deal without a b

but plenty here won't put the labour leader in charge, evenif put the labour leader in charge, even ifo slow the brexit process. we need to have something that works. jeremy corbyn doesn't have the numbers. he knows that. the snp knows that. you andi knows that. the snp knows that. you and i know that. so, a direct move against number ten isn't expected imminently, but with feelings here running high, don't expect an outbreak of calm either. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. our brussels correspondent adam fleming joins me. signs of some possible movement in terms of the deal? possible signs. we understand that uk will table fresh brexit proposals to the eu after the end of the conservative party annual conference, which finishes in manchester next wednesday. so not long to go. if those proposals are acceptable to the eu, it would trigger a breakneck round of diplomacy as the eu and the uk try to finalise that deal, prefera bly uk try to finalise that deal, preferably for the eu a week before the summit of eu leaders on the 17th of october. that is an incredibly tight timetable. esp

we have heard all of this before, and evenif have heard all of this before, and even if dup are not neededh, he needs a majority in the house. very much so, and the labour 30 who say they are open to backing a deal will only do it when they know it is definitely going to get there. and what hasn't helped for borisjohnson get there. and what hasn't helped for boris johnson is get there. and what hasn't helped for borisjohnson is the past week in which we have seen this kind of really... you know, we have seen these debates in parliament and a lot of labour mps being unhappy with the kind of language borisjohnson is using stuff that doesn't mean it would not then voting for a deal, but i certainly think it doesn't help in the sense of trying to bring over some of those people. well, i mean, the flipside of a lot of this, of course, is the very divided opposition. and the i has that headline of government of national unity talks begin. they were supposed to meet today, but the liberal democrats not backing jeremy corbyn as any kind of transitional leader. not a vote of no—confidence without k

evenif would be so damaging to our economy.orisjohnson wins that's. he can come back and change the law back again. but we need to do is go out to the people, and i'm quite happy god to the people —— to go back to the people of scotland. it is up to other parties in england and wales and northern ireland to put the case of remaining in the european union, and that's what we're doing in scotland, and i'm convinced we will in that case. ultimately, if the re st of in that case. ultimately, if the rest of the european union chooses to leave the european union, that is a choice the rest of the united kingdom can make. they cannot drag scotland into that. we will stand up for the interests of scotland. yes, we will work with others, but a primary interest is the people and interest of scotland. you and others in the liberal democrats are open about the fact you want to stay in the eu. this bill is about making sure we don't crash out on a no—deal basis. yes we want to make sure the people of scotland, who voted by a heavy majority t

but at the same time you have an opposition which isn't quite sure that it can get what it wants evenif wants even if it passes things in parliament. so a really unique time for the british constitution. and the truth is, no matter what anyone tells you, nobody is quite sure how it is going to end up. no, other thanit it is going to end up. no, other than it is going to be very busy. leading democrats in congress have made their first demand for documents in the impeachment inquiry into president trump. the secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered to hand over ukraine—related material within a week. the us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned. our north america correspondent, david willis, reports. donald trump is defiant and lashing out on his preferred medium, twitter. taking aim at the man who will play a key role in his impeachment hearings, the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff. of him, the president said... the whistle—blower who revealed details of his telephone conversation with ukraine's president, volodymyr zelenskiy,

evenif and they cannot stray from that.ut it, he would still probably not be able to get a very different deals of the one theresa may negotiated. that is the absolute frontier of how far the european union is willing to go. we have this cross— party union is willing to go. we have this cross—party group of the rebel alliance, they've been dubbed by the media, they agree on what they don't want, but after three years of talking in negotiations, bitter and angry discussions in this building behind me, there is no consensus about what they do want. which means going forward, we are in the same position, aren't we? this is one of theissues position, aren't we? this is one of the issues if there was a general election. if you look at the opinion polls, there is time and again, a major outcome is likely to be aim hung parliament, it isn'tjust people in this building over here u.s.—led, but of course the country is split. there may have been some minor variations on the 52— 48%, but actually more or less, this is still actually m

a leave option when there are people like you in the party and many in the grassroots saying that evenifhat the deal negotiated by theresa may it was awful, i accepted negotiated by theresa may it was awful, iaccepted boris negotiated by theresa may it was awful, i accepted borisjohnson's no—deal is catastrophic, and it is possible to get a better deal from the eu, make some tweaks on theresa may's deal. but any deal we get from the eu on exiting the eu is no better for us as a country, jobs, growth, prosperity, than remaining in the eu. in those circumstances, why be neutral? when we know remaining in the eu is the best option, let's say, from this conference in brighton, our position as labour, we offer the british public a final say, and we will campaign to remain in the eu. similar position to tom watson, the deputy leader — wasn't right for people in your party to try to abolish that post on the eve of conference? guv‘nor, it was ridiculous, preposterous, undemocratic, and those people should reflect on their behaviour. haveit should reflect on their behaviour. have it out in an arg

they will be back on saturday morning, and england will hope to end their long summer on ashes high, evenifbroncos have been relegated from rugby league's super league. before tonight's matches they were one of four sides that were threatened with going down. broncos lost 19—10 at wakefield trinity, who were one of the other sides in danger of the drop. hull kingston rovers also lost, but they survive by virtue of a superior points difference. the other team in danger, huddersfield giants, beat catalans dragons. that's all the sport for now. the kind of weather you should expect this weekend depends very much upon where you are going to be spending it. the further south you are, you can expect a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine and it will turn warmer as the weekend wears on. further north the greater the chance of seeing some cloud, abrasive rain at times, it will actually turn cooler through the weekend as it will be very windy across the far north as well. because of this area of low pressure muscling its way in, you can see a lot of white lines, a lot of isobars on the chart, it wi

they hope so, evenif open goal for labour? a vote of no confidence, it could jeremy corbyn become caretaker prime minister? at the moment he does not have the numbers and yet... it is getting more likely every single day because this government is collapsing. it has now lost all seven votes since borisjohnson has now lost all seven votes since boris johnson became prime has now lost all seven votes since borisjohnson became prime minister and this tory government has been defeated over 45 times in parliament. they do not have a majority or a programme or policies and they do not have any credibility. the scottish nationalist party want to be seen to be trying to bring down the government next week and could live with jeremy corbyn government next week and could live withjeremy corbyn in downing street. the only way to guarantee another brexit delay, they think, and then have a general election. another brexit delay, they think, and then have a general electionm is only right and proper that he is the leader of the largest oppo

if the legal argument is more complex than that, that could be politically quite useful for him, evenifuite useful for him, even if it is awkward right now. for viewers outside of the uk, there is a bit of confusion given this ruling today, why isn't parliament or why can't parliament be recalled immediately? let new reassure you, the confusion spreads to every corner of this country as well as the world. there is confusion here in the westminster postcode around why parliament isn't back up and running already. because interpretation of the court in scotland was that it is now parliament's call to decide whether or not it should start meeting again and curiously even though it has not officially started meeting again, some mps have been going on at sitting on the green benches in the house of commons to make the point that they would rather be in their ina that they would rather be in their in a formal setting. the speaker of the house of commons who announced his imminent departure just a couple of days ago, said it was up to the government to decide whether or not to stop proroguing

i don't think we are going to see a deal unveiled, that will be highly unlikely, because i think evenif to pick it apart. i wouldn't expect that. what we will be looking for is how does it sound? do they sound as though they are getting on and having productive discussions, or is it one of those occasions where we go and then we have a fairly icy stand—off when jean—claude juncker and the others speak to the press. michel barnier has ticked the uk for the lack of decisiveness in the past. i think we will be getting some sort of signalling of other discussions going on, rather than actually, we have solved this. discussions going on, rather than actually, we have solved thism sounds like borisjohnson's negotiator has been back and forth to brussels quite a lot lately, that if there is going to be a new deal, and boris johnson says if there is going to be a new deal, and borisjohnson says he would like to sort out, time is running out, isn't it? we have the four weeks till parliament comes back. the key date is that european council, the 17th and 18th of october, so i think if there is pr

protected because it is a tactic —— it is a package holiday so it will be protected by the actual scheme evenifme even if the firm goes bust. and the british government the elements and place to make sure they can get home and it would be the big repatriation of betty's people since world war ii. -- the of betty's people since world war ii. —— the biggest repatriation of british people since world war ii. you're likely to get your money through this atoll scheme but you are going to have to look for alternative flights and holidays yourself. if you have just put to flight, yourself. if you have just put to flight, that is not covered by this atoll scheme, but you're likely to be on the climate back through your debit or credit card company or through your holiday insurance. thomas cook is telling passengers on twitter that flights are continuing to operate on the making of the uncertainty of the situation. we did have a difficult situation last night in tunisia where a group of thomas cook passengers were trying to leave their hotel. they were told by hotel bosses that hotel bills we had not bee

but evenif a business readiness campaign.very quickly create jams and, within one day, that they think this reduction could happen, in a realistic worst—case scenario, and i think the best case scenario, and i think the best case scenario would still mean, certainly in the short they would be delays. the documents also warn of a "decrease" in certain types of fresh food and price rises for food and fuel. we have just heard from the food and drink federation saying the same. price rises to four food and fuel. why that? a lot of that is linked. that issue of the lorries and logistics moving across the channel is absolutely crucial. 0bviously, is absolutely crucial. obviously, a lot of fresh food comes in from europe. if the lorries can't move, the food doesn't move so quickly. we are not talking about suddenly nothing on the shelves. we are talking about potentially reduced choice and availability, and particularly at that time of year, it is difficult. probably worse than if we had left with no deal back in march. the end of o

parliament which is opposed to no deal yet a prime minister saying we are going to leave on 315t october, evenifg without a deal. so he has been quite assertive about the rights of parliament but without him, undoubtedly, i think borisjohnson would have found it far far easier to have his way with parliament. john bercow has been absolutely key in ensuring that opposition mps opposed to no deal can take control of the parliamentary agenda and pass this legislation, which is so difficult for boris johnson, which mandates him to go and ask for an extension from the eu if he hasn't got a deal through by mid—october. so,john got a deal through by mid—october. so, john bercow's role has been incredibly important. but i think katy is right, i thinkjohn bercow has shaped this role very much, but i think the person who follows him will also seek to similarly be there for parliament, to stick up for the powers of parliament. so i don't think we are going to go back to the days where we have a speaker who takes more of a back seat. and that is partly to do with the politics of the situation, when you have

evenif half means it's really bad stuff.ief time since this document was produced, they have done a series of initiatives, whether it's allocating customs numbers to small businesses, or those adverts that you are seeing everywhere, and they hope that the preparation will be sufficiently high, that these problems won't be as acute. but as they've said, having been forced to release this, it is the latest full assessment that they have. thank you very much indeed for taking us through it. that's the bbc‘s economic editor. aside from that huge news, today's other top story. already digesting another hugely significant moment in the story of this prime minister. and in the story of brexit, because the fallout continues following scotland's highest civil court ruled that borisjohnson's decision to suspend parliament for five weeks was unlawful. the relationship between parliament, government and the courts has been dragged centre stage. let's look the ruling in more detail. if you are confused as to why we are getting differentj

simple majority to trigger an election by that avenue, but it is not clear to me that would survive evenifnot an extraordinary bizarre thing to do. the other option would be to try to introduce legislation to overturn the fixed—term parliaments act, again, not actual clear that he would get that through the comments. if he can't do that then he is into constitutional jiggery—pokery, can't do that then he is into constitutionaljiggery—pokery, by which i mean he could simply sit on the no deal legislation passed by the no deal legislation passed by the commons, if it is passed this week, and say i will not pass it to the queen in bell moral, it will not get well and sent all come into law. the difficulty is mps will almost certainly taken to court and seek a judicial review which they are likely to win. the last option, this might seem utterly and totally bizarre, but this is brexit land, is that boris johnson bizarre, but this is brexit land, is that borisjohnson goes to the eu summit on october the 17th with parliament having said to him we wa nt parliament having said to him we want you t

so worried was he about the outcome of the referendum that he sought the involvement of the queen, evenifof the queen, even if it was at a very subtle and carefully calibrated way is extraordinary in itself but even more extraordinary, i think, is the fa ct more extraordinary, i think, is the fact david cameron has chosen to go public about it, not only to do that but to say that he asked the queen to sort of metaphorically raise an eyebrow about scottish independence. and you know, interestingly, he has just done an interview on the radio 4 today programme and he thinks he knows he has put his foot in it and gone too far, he said he probably shouldn't have said that and he also said it had been a terrible mistake, you may remember, after the referendum, he let it be known that the queen had and i quote purred down the telephone line end quote when he told her about the outcome and he acknowledged this morning that was a terrible mistake. and i think on reflection he probably realises he certainly shouldn't have gone public with this information and it does, you know, this particular mome

very early age and for me, the labour party let the people of stoke—on—trent down and generally, evenifant remain you vote labour party, and then there is a group of individuals who say, we may agree to a rehash of the theresa may agreement so, for me there is clear understanding. i felt there was not a clear road map for stoke—on—trent. there was no grand design or grand direction for stoke—on—trent. we are right in the centre of middle england. the infrastructure is good. an hourand 30 england. the infrastructure is good. an hour and 30 minutes to london but in terms of investment, the labour party has failed the city. what i really noticed today, i was going to ask you, well, isn‘t there a danger at the brexit party splits the vote. if breaks it matters to you, you might hand it on a plate to labour by splitting the brexit vote. but what i notice, labour voters cannot bring themselves to vote for the conservatives, there is too much history and baggage, but they will vote for the brexit party. absolutely, we offer a real alternative because we have people from the left and right with

we got the 15th of october and he came to the eu council, even if there was negotiation going on, evenifn going on, even if he could get a deal, there would still have to be an extension, wouldn't there? absolutely, their word. because the timings of this just don't work. so what you would have to have, and we've been talking to eu sources here, if you had an election middle of october, two days later the summit here, first of all there is no time for a new prime minister or borisjohnson to come up with a new plan, get it through here, drafted, signed off two days later, that isn't going to happen. all the other alternative is there is no clear outcome from the uk election, in which case there is an equally difficult problem because there is no direction for the uk and a ticking clock towards the end of october. so all those cause big problems. the even bigger problem right now is there is nothing happening in the negotiations him at the forward. in fact, moving backward, because we are hearing today misha barnier saying its deadlock, others have been saying to us deadlock, others have b

really try to drag it out today, delaying the point at which australia will bat again, i'm sure, evenif if england don't. .. but you don't think australia will enforce the follow up? they can have a rest, they don't need to rush, unless england really do drag out the first innings and that is where it would get interesting. they have got a new ball available in six overs time, and they are not very nice things. a rock—hard, new and they are not very nice things. a rock—ha rd, new ball. and they are not very nice things. a rock—hard, new ball. not very nice. you have got ben stokes, the hero, ba i rstow you have got ben stokes, the hero, bairstow and butler, and they have got to bat as long as they can. 0h, got to bat as long as they can. oh, my goodness. and the weather won't save them either, will they?” don't think so, but they have had enough help from that. we do joke about it, but actually, you don't wa nt about it, but actually, you don't want weather to spoil things. if you get beaten, you get beaten, and that is the end of it. i was at old trafford the other day, the pitch there

time that students can stay after graduating, you say they can gain valuable work experience, but, evenif are they simply taking valuable skills and removing them from the country? one of the brilliant things about taking someone from another part of the world at an early stage in their career, and giving them the outstanding education is they tend to be lifelong ambassadors for the uk, we conducted a study of graduates of uk universities and, 88% of them wanted to come back for tourism, over 77% wanted to retain business and professional links with the uk. human bridge, we can retain links, notjust at university level but businesses throughout the country. there are links being formed between people who met in universities, that is good for everybody. thank you very much. insurers are warning that there is a risk of more road accidents, as we make the move towards driverless cars. the motor insurance research body is calling for regulations to make cars safe, as automated systems gradually take over from human drivers. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones has this report. imagi

every single eu leader has a veto so the french could veto evenif has a veto so the french could vetohat is generally not how they work and ireland has so much to lose politically and economically in terms of the peace process and if they say they really want the extension, france is not going to say no. france has form. as emmanuel macron said, he is very happy to play the bad cop when it comes to brexit and in a way it solves... it serves the purpose of other leaders for the eu because they want to keep up for the eu because they want to keep up pressure on mps to not only decide what they don't want, they don't want a no—deal brexit, but what they actually do want, because it is only then that we eu can get through and get past the brexit process. i would like to keep the pressure on mps and they want the uk to deciding what direction —— they would. but really it is massively unlikely that you will see one eu country france or otherwise using its veto to block an extension if the other eu leaders are in favour and at the moment they are. thanks for joining and at the moment they ar

to bring back the deal and changed but the question is even deal and changed but the question is evenife cabinet's support and if you look at the cabin and there were only two members of the cabinet and that did not vote for the withdrawal agreement and the last time of asking and theresa may brought it back on the 29th of march and i think it is only tresa billiards and priti patel he did not vote for it and borisjohnson priti patel he did not vote for it and boris johnson voted for it and the question is can they bring something back from brussels that is significant enough to say that they have won and delivered a change but it is not so significant that they nixed any chances of persuading eu partners or practically getting it donein partners or practically getting it done in the time available. that is one element to focus on and the other is general election and if he loses the vote tonight, does it mean politically to lose this boat, does give him the platform he wants? the whole premise is they do not want a general election. and boris wants to go to brussels and renegotiate a d

inaudible which is unlikely, it is a complex area of constitutional law, evenif complex area of constitutionalsis of the prorogation which is currently ruled to be unlawful. the snp are calling for parliament to be resumed. let me tell you this, this is from our legal affairs correspondent, clive coleman, he says, parliament is free to sit in the period leading up to an appeal, according to what he has been told by lawyers who won the case. yes, well, that sounds right to me, but i am always very cautious in giving any legal opinion because i am of course not a legal adviser to the case, iam course not a legal adviser to the case, i am the first position, but that sounds right. since this decision came out, i have been flat out on the phone and doing media about it, not had time to think about it, not had time to think about the application. political implications are care, prorogation was unlawful, parliament should go back and get on with the job of representing constituents. there may be people watching the programme, i am sure there are, who voted leave, andi am sure there are, who voted l

evenif i'm afraid that as a consequence...ol couldn't possibly stand on an election of no—deal. so i fear it has become a bit of a sect, which is a pity because i know the prime minister is actually essentially a one nation tory, all these other plans i'm shoulder to shoulder with him. and i'm sorry we should have falle n him. and i'm sorry we should have fallen out like this. that is what strikes me, the people took about borisjohnson is a one nation conservative. there is not that much between you, so how has this been allowed to happen?” between you, so how has this been allowed to happen? i think he feels, andl allowed to happen? i think he feels, and i think he's been ill—advised in this, he feels the only thing that matters is to conclude this by getting an absolutely complicit party who are utterly united in no—deal. the tory party isn't united in no—deal, another is the house, because many of us know the consequences are very serious consequences are very serious indeed. i want an orderly, negotiated transition which w

evenif patient —— what richard has said.nd up with no deal? you describe it as irresponsible so it would you bear responsibility?” have to, i am elected representative. how would you sleep at night? _ difficulty but at night? with great difficulty but let's see when push comes to shove. there is a limited amount of time left and i'm still hopeful that between now and october the 315t it may be possible to deliver a deal. if that proves not to be the case thenl if that proves not to be the case then i reserve my position. i'm on then i reserve my position. i'm on the cusp... of what? of where i position myself within the party politics. you mean you might cross the floor or stand out?” politics. you mean you might cross the floor or stand out? i would never cross the floor but i have devoted over 50 years of my life to the conservative party and i find it frankly appalling that people like richard, a superb minister, and i we nt richard, a superb minister, and i went into the house with in 1983, who have devoted their lives t

it is slightly underplayed and he has made absolutely clear, evenif and he has made absolutely clear,ificant. despite all the other noises we are hearing today about his private life, his private conduct, what he is doing is putting his head down and saying there is a solution to this. that is getting brexit done and delivering all these after services with extra cash. paul waugh up services with extra cash. paul waugh up there in manchester talking to vicki about what is going on at the tory party conference today. the decision to uphold a complaint on presenter naga manchetty has been upheld. the breakfast presenter had criticised the president trump's motives after he said four female politicians should "go back" trevor phillipsjoins me now. thanks for joining trevor phillipsjoins me now. thanks forjoining us. i don't know if you read the statement that he has a pelican to sized the decision. what do you make of it? i have seen the report of it, i think for the moment, it is a good decision by the director general but i thing there we re director general but i thing there were two

i think boris johnson is relying on the fact that evenif johnson is relying on the fact that even if where you would have to find another prime minister who does have the confidence of the house and they could be relying on the fact that actually, the opposition are divided on that as well, the liberal democrats would be very reluctant to backjeremy corbyn as prime minister. so we will have to see what happens. some people get very angry at the thought of leaks i'm wondering how soon will we do get a couple of bits and bobs? they have to get the phone is back first. once it's all finished, you never know, we may hear something from somewhere else before that, people going in there from all wings of the party haven't seen philip hammond, though. he may not turn up. we are watching, we are watching. thanks very much. we'll have a word again later on. what i'd like to do now is bring in henry hill, assistant editor of the commentary analysis and news website conservative capital back home. thanks forjoining us, what you're reading of what's going on today? thanks forjoining us, what you

evenif will give you a special airfare.some of your guests have really gold—plated of your guests have really gold— plated travel insurance, of your guests have really gold—plated travel insurance, that will cover them for scheduled airline failure, and many policies do not have that. it tends to be an extra that you have got to pay more for. that might be an answer but for most problems with thomas cook, insurance is not the answer. it is getting something back from your bank or atol. this isjust getting something back from your bank or atol. this is just one getting something back from your bank or atol. this isjust one of getting something back from your bank or atol. this is just one of so many of hundreds of stories that will be out there. these are people‘s holidays, people trying to get back to work. it is so personal. what is your top tip for people affected by it? if you are out in a resort and watching this and thinking, crikey, my airline has gone bust and i must get to the airport, don't. resist the urge. sit by

evenif scrutiny, the ability to legislate. had been no intention to block all that in order to pursue a different government policy, you would still have the same complaint, would still have the same complaint, would you not? a stronger complaint would you not? a stronger complaint would be that you are putting it in a different way. one can put it either way. at its very lowest, the prime minister's decision to provoke for a period as long as five weeks, in effect prevents parliament from performing its scrutineer functions over the activities of the legislature. —— prorogue. it means parliament cannot legislate and it cannot inform itself for the purposes of legislating by the asking of parliamentary questions, by holding parliamentary debates, by the report of parliamentary committees, all at a time when we say it is self evident that parliament will, or may, wish to carry out such activities. do we have evidence about questions being put and not being answered as a result of the prorogation? once parliament is prorogued, i

sign up to this because in regulatory terms it splits northern ireland and the rest of the uk and evenif northern ireland got one? this is far from straightforward which is why the eu thinks if boris johnson straightforward which is why the eu thinks if borisjohnson is serious about renegotiation he will have to ask for an extension like it or not. the other thing i want to ask about is something we talked about last week, the possibility of france being bad cop, being awkward on the extension and you said they might make noises but they won‘t, then we have the comments over the weekend. i have thought, but she will say that france will not do this in the end, is that what you think? that is right, that is what my eu contacts across the rest of the european union tell me. one diplomat from a northern european country said it is more french blah blah, he said. emmanuel macron said he enjoys playing bad cop when it comes to brexit and i don‘t think this will come as a surprise. before other brexit extensions france have made similar noises but they have given in. there was more reason for

because evenif statements are incompatible.f process required —— was agreed tomorrow. including passage through both houses of this parliament by the 31st of october. so we had to act. the memberfor leeds central has set out brilliantly the purposes of the bill and how it works, time is limited, sol and how it works, time is limited, so i don't intend to rehearse those arguments, and i want simply to focus on two planes that are made against conservative supporters of this bill. orformer conservative supporters of this bill. by the government. presumably these claims have been made as a justification for the mass purge that occurred last night. the first claim is that by removing the threat of no deal on the 31st of october we are cutting the 31st of october we are cutting the legs from under the government in its negotiations with the eu. that is wrong. it is wrong because actually there is no negotiations going on with the eu. we have had confirmation from multiple sources across the european union that nothing is happening.

to be much progress at all, paralysis i think is the word that the eu have used and quite frankly, evenifson were somehow to win an election, if that election does take place on october the 15th, i think the chances of him being able to negotiate something within two weeks and therefore pull out of the nosedive of no deal is very, very slim. through our political history we have seen prime ministers step out in front of number ten or elsewhere in the country with an advance announcement that they are going to speak to the country. we've had that today about boris johnson of the back of these four defeats and with this news of his brother stepping down as an mp, that surely greatly undermines what he wants to do later. yeah, we've no idea what he's going to say or what he's going to say now. he is in a much more difficult position than his strategist dominic cummings would have imagined. i think they did understate the extent to which tory mps would desert him. i think they've always been planning for an early election but i think you are beginning to get the sense that things are perhaps

evenif extension when they do not want it? them, then the government gets tough on them, the government gets tough on them, the government gets tough on them, the government says, we will veto just about everything, not pay any money into the budget. you people have colluded with opponents. there isa have colluded with opponents. there is a pretty strong sense that a numberof my is a pretty strong sense that a number of my erstwhile colleagues have been up to their eyebrows in discussing with all the legal authorities in the eu what is going on, and that i believe is an astonishing sense. it would be astonishing, but do you have any evidence? i'm not going to lay it out now but i have to tell you i am pretty certain that some of those individuals have been genuinely discussing in advance of that act going through what would happen and how the eu would react. we are getting into a peculiar phase now where there seems to be a complete breakdown of any sense of loyalty to the nature of the government from some members of my party

evenif even if you are a bit fed up of brexit, it is fascinating!atters hugely, but we are all human and even for adam and i, you sometimes think, blimey! no, i never get bored of it! i do. between a rock and a ha rd of it! i do. between a rock and a hard place, yes, he doesn't have a majority and the opposition parties realise if they can work together and opposition parties oppose each other as well as opposing the government, then they do have a majority. and they potentially, therefore, can steer when this general election happens. make no mistake, it will happen and pretty soon. but the big decision is whether it happens before brexit is due to happen at the end of next month or after that point, by which time can! month or after that point, by which time can i a delay could have been secured. which is what the opposition parties want. they want it because it could leave boris johnson in a real mess because he would either have to break his promise of taking the uk out by the end of october, may, or he would have to break the law, if it is the

and my respectful submission, it is appropriate that the inner house be recalled, and evenif the inner form of words, i will speak to my honourable friend, lord pannick, on its... and no doubt on those instructing you.” don't think mr o'neill is ever readily ignored on these circumstances. unless there are further questions from the court, i would rest my summation. thank you very much, lord keen. with thanks to everybody with the position of their timing of the court will now adjourn. look forward to hearing you at 10:30am. so, fora so, for a stay of proceedings and the supreme court closing on time, four o'clock. let's go back to the supreme court. covering this, ben brown... yes, it has been a fascinating day of hearing so far and we started with lord pannick, representing gina miller in the case that the prime minister did act unlawfully in suspending parliament, saying that effectively the prime minister had tried to silence parliament because it posed a threat to him because it was an obstacle to him. this afternoon, we heard lord keane for the government saying that actually, if

secondly, evenif is an un—authorised quote.d of tab 18 of the supplemental authorities for this appeal in the miller case.” supplemental authorities for this appeal in the miller case. i am very grateful for you. page 226 electronically. and which page of the judgment itself are you reading from?” and which page of the judgment itself are you reading from? i am reading from page 106—1. well, i think that was from 106—0, but i am going from 106—1 to two. anyway, i got to the point where lord upjohn says it doesn't matter whether or not, even if the statute said you had unfettered discretion, it would not make any difference, i doubt it would make any difference in law. namely that acting lawfully he has a power of decision which cannot be controlled by the courts, it is u nfettered. controlled by the courts, it is unfettered. but the use of that adjective even in an act of parliament can do nothing to u nfettered parliament can do nothing to unfettered control which the judiciary have over the executive, namely that in exercisin

because the reality is, and all the evidence is, that if you come from a working—class family, evenifing it should be done? well, that is how we routinely... many employers will recognise that they do that in respect of other characteristics, like race and gender, and it is a way of checking, is everybody getting through? do we need to improve our recruitment and promotion procedures? what more can we do to make sure that our workforce looks like modern written? and you have talked about trying to make it illegal. how would you go about that? we would like to see people being able to take cases on the grounds of class discrimination, just like you can on race and gender, and what a big difference that has made to our workplaces. but we would also like to see a duty on public sector employers to promote equality right across the board. and i think thatjust makes for a healthy society, because believe you me, especially as we face brexit, we need the talents and skills of everybody in this country. and just very briefly, how soon are you looking for this to change? and i just want to pi

have just seen, if all the opposition parties gang up, boris johnson can‘t get near an election, evenife other parties, we will not have an election in october. and you think they are ' 7 october. and you think they are split? that is what i am hearing but there are plenty of them across the road. i am just there are plenty of them across the road. i amjust wondering there are plenty of them across the road. i am just wondering about the whole process for boris johnson because at the back of his mind is the brexit party. that is the real bogey for him, isn‘t it? the brexit party. that is the real bogey for him, isn't it? it is both the bogey and the opportunity. the brexit party are now around 14% in the polls. it is practically impossible to see how borisjohnson gets a conservative majority in an early election. if he can either drive the brexit party down to 5% or doa drive the brexit party down to 5% or do a deal with them where they don‘t stand in the seats that matter to the conservatives, thenjohnson‘s prospects are utterly transformed. what happens to the brexit party is crucial.
