michael gove is coming in.y, about the british government's official position, that if she is innocent she should be released to bite there isa she should be released to bite there is a chance the foreign secretary could step in. —— released. it would be better to have him sort that out. if we had a credible foreign secretary, it would. he isn't. he repeated the lies the iranian government told about a british citizen in front of parliament. the mirror. wife number nine hasjilted me. a sad tale of love gone wrong. you would have thought ninth time lucky. he is the most married man in britain. it is a sad tale of love gone wrong. is forever wife, crystal, deserted him. —— his. he said she would take selfies and listen to music and i would have to shout to get her attention. apparently the engagement ring went missing as well. he talks about her being the love of her life, but when she runs away, the reports are to be border agency. is love dead? he should find someone else. —— he reports her to. he could do some

what michael gove had to say about this case todaylj you think of what michael gove had to say aboutlking about this case for 19 months now, when richard first came to me, criticising iran for putting my innocent constituent in jail on trumped up charges, and tried in a kangaroo court. and the government did not agree to meet with me, boris johnson would not meet with my constituent, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe‘s husband, for 19 months now. when he finally did make a comment on it, he decided to get it wrong. borisjohnson does not even know the most basic fact of the most important case at the moment. his mainjob is to protect british citizens, and he did not know that she was on holiday even though i repeatedly raised it, whether it is westminster hall debates are parliamentary questions or even at prime minister's questions, i repeatedly said, nazanin was on holiday in iran with her small child. so for michael gove to go on tv today and say that he was not sure, taking the husband's words for it, he should know that nazanin was on holiday, and that henman compounding the lie he was t

talk us through what michael gove was saying this morning.d with borisjohnson hour later this month telling the foreign affa i rs later this month telling the foreign affairs committee that she had been in iran training journalists, rather than on holiday as herfamily, her employer said. as a result of those comments, pressure piled on boris johnson, and forced him to the house of commons last week to make the government's position clear. he did that, saying, the government has no doubt that she was on holiday and that was the sole purpose of her visit. here in that statement, it makes it very interesting to hear what michael gove had to say this morning. what was she doing when she went to iran? erm, i don't know. one of the things i want to stress is that there is no reason why nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe should be in prison in iran. so far as any of us know, no evidence has been produced which suggests she should be detained. we know that the iranian regime is capable of abusing the rights of its owi'i capable of abusing the rights of its ow

meanwhile, the mail on sunday says mr gove and borisjohnson are holding theresa may to ransom in orderbrexit. the sunday express says the economy is in for a £3 billion windfall after brexit. we don't really have favourites on this, kevin. so let's begin. next time, put it right. we will start with the mail on sunday, boris and go of plot to hijack number 10, and go of plot to hijack number 10, a secret memo has emerged written after the party conference in the autumn. when they felt theresa may was at her weakest and they are michael gove and boris johnson, was at her weakest and they are michael gove and borisjohnson, the environment secretary and the foreign secretary, so the mail on sunday quite rightly calls this a bombshell leaked letter so the secret letter is a secret no more. it seems the bromance is absolutely back on. these two men have known each other for a long time, since university, they had their major falling out when there was the leadership election when david cameron needed to be replaced and it seems they've come up with a list of instructions for a woman, the pri

today, michael gove attempt to shift the attention.i—ratcliffe's husband and the foreign secretary spoke for the first time today. they have agreed to meet within a couple of weeks. the family plus mike local mp is calling for resignations. it is the job of the british government to protect british citizens. if they make matters worse for my constituent, they need to realise that they are unfit for office and michael gove and boris johnson, that they are unfit for office and michael gove and borisjohnson, who are meant to be the leading lights in the government, have got to resign. with more calls for senior ministers to go, the pressure is growing on the prime minister to get a grip on her cabinet. there have been two resignations in the space ofa been two resignations in the space of a week and one of her closest allies is under investigation. all this while the government is embroiled in the brexit negotiations. for now, the focus for the foreign secretary, and of course mrs zaghari—ratcliffe's husband, must be to get her home as so

today the environment secretary michael gove was asked why she was there...want to stress is that there is no reason why nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe should be in prison in iran. so far as any of us know, no evidence has been produced which suggests she should be detained. our political correspondent, tom barton, is here. this case of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe continuing to have real ramifications at the top of the government. yes, this row started with those comments from boris johnson suggesting that she had been in iran training journalists, rather than on holiday. as a result of the comments pressure piled on him and he was forced into the house of commons last week to make the government position clear to mps. he told them the government has no doubt that she was on holiday, that was the sole purpose of her visit. given that statement, these comments today from michael gove that he doesn't know why she was in iran have drawn criticism including from neighbour who said the comments compounded the problems caused by borisjohnson, compounded the problems cause

asked what she was doing in iran, mr gove told the andrew marr show "i don't know".m john trickett, mabel‘s shadow minister for the john trickett, mabel‘s shadow ministerfor the cabinet john trickett, mabel‘s shadow minister for the cabinet office, saying "borisjohnson's cavalier approach to international diplomacy is compounded this morning by michael gove claiming he has no idea what nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was doing in iran. it has always been clear that she was on holiday visiting her family. it clear that she was on holiday visiting herfamily. it appears gove is more interested in protecting johnson'sjob than is more interested in protecting johnson's job than the liberty of a british citizen in jail in johnson's job than the liberty of a british citizen injail in iran. theresa may must assure nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe does not pay the price for her ministers' bungling". that is labour's reaction to the appearance of michael gove this morning on andrew marr. spain's prime minister is visiting catalonia for the first time since he imposed direct rule on the reg

michael gove says tehran should be facing criticism over the case, as he rejects calls for borisjohnsono resign. a two—minute silence has been observed at ceremonies around the country to honour the dead of two world wars and other conflicts. also in the next hour — the spanish prime minister visits catalonia for the first time since he imposed direct rule on the region. ahead of next month's early regional elections, he launched his people's party's campaign in barcelona. and the inside out team find out whether the emergency services could have acted any faster on the night of the manchester arena bomb. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. theresa may's closest ally in the cabinet, damian green, has insisted that the police never informed him of allegations that pornography had been found on a computer at his office in parliament. a former head of the metropolitan police, sir paul stephenson, has said his force was aware that material had been found in a search of the offices, back in 2008. previously, damian green had described the claims as "completely untrue". our home affairs

it is a leaked letter written by michael gove and boris johnson.unning her cabinet and makes a series of veiled threats, according to the mail on sunday, and it spells out the divisions within theresa may's cabinet between the hard brexit supporters and those taking a softer approach. they make a series of demands an ugly out their hard brexit manifesto and the criticise philip hammond for not being sufficiently energetic, as they see it, but hard brexit. it comes at a time when theresa may's cabinet is in disarray, continuing leadership speculation, she has lost two cabinet ministers with two more under investigation and the overwhelming feeling is it is a mess. borisjohnson is mess. boris johnson is one mess. borisjohnson is one of those a lot of people are saying should be out of people are saying should be out of the cabinet. that feels like a last—ditch effort by borisjohnson, yet that feels like a last—ditch effort by boris johnson, yet again with michael gold alongside, to put his mark on the race he seems to have been losing because every s

less important for michael gove to do it.o play the relevant clip of the audience so they know what we're talking about. what was she doing when she went to iran? i don't know. one of the things i want to stress is that there is no reason why nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe should be imprisoned in iran as far as any of us imprisoned in iran as far as any of us know. no evidence has been produced which suggests she should be detained. we know the iranians regime is capable of abusing the human rights of its own citizens. it appears here to be harming the human rights of someone whose plight necessarily moves us all. you say you don't know what she was doing. her husband is clear that she was on holiday with her child. in her case, i take holiday with her child. in her case, itake —— holiday with her child. in her case, i take —— in that case, i take her husband's assurance in that regard. the problem with that exchanges that mr gove said he did not know why your wife was there. you said you did not see that interview live, but membe

the mail on sunday, it's all about michael gove and boris johnson, probably the two leading brexiteers wrote a letter to the prime minister secretly trying to get her to ta ke minister secretly trying to get her to take a tough stance on brexit. what is this link, alleged link with the russians? this story, it's a multi—layered story and you need to have a lot of background knowledge of who is who in think—tanks. have a lot of background knowledge of who is who in think-tanks. and a lot of music too. in order to be able to understand it. the bare bones seem to be there are the think—tanks that seem to be having a huge amount of innorwich unions on michael gove and boris johnson, notes of secret meetings. but the institute is interesting because the people behind it who're two very rich brothers who made their money through gazprom, the big massive russian energy giant. it's alleged they have links to putin. johnson and gove wrote a letter earlier on this month to mrs may saying you have got to do this, that and the other and this story in the mail on sunday is saying, what they wanted

interesting letter reported in the mail on sunday from michael gove and boris johnson, reported in the michael gove and borisjohnson, two of the brexiteers, putting more pressure on her? absolutely, as we heard injohn‘s peace there it has been a difficult few weeks but theresa may, pressure on one of her closest allies in cabinet, two of her cabinet ministers forced to resign in the last week or so, and, as you say, the sunday papers today, the mail 0n sunday talking about this letter which was sent by borisjohnson and michael gove, apparently saying they are profoundly worried about preparations within government on the prime ministers. and while we're on michael gove, the government planning a new watchdog to protect the environment post brexit? yes, this is ahead of the detailed parliamentary scrutiny starting on the eu withdrawal bill on tuesday and wednesday this week, this is a bill that will transfer european law on to the british statute books. the government has been under a lot of pressure around this, hundreds of amendments have been tabled, and across the political spectrum

theresa may met colleagues including michael gove borisjohnson colleagues including michael gove borison last night colleagues including michael gove borisjohnson last night and is expected to make a new offer to the eu during talks later this week. let's get more from our political guru norman smith in westminster. so mrs may has managed to find some kind of compromise between the brexiteers in the cabinet and remains. there must be many mornings when she wakes up thinking, "0h, remains. there must be many mornings when she wakes up thinking, "oh, my gosh," but this morning she must be feeling chipper because she seems to have bound in the big beasts of brexit in the cabinet to agree her in backing for more money to leave the eu and that was by no means a given because the tory backbenchers are up in arms, describing it as a ransom and we should not be paying ransom and we should not be paying ransom money to leave the eu and it is possible borisjohnson and michael gove could have decided to ride the backbenches and torpedo mrs may's move to give more cash to get the trade talks going

his cabinet colleague,michael gove says tehran should be facing criticism over the case as he rejectsalls for mrjohnson to resign. the prince of wales has led the nation in honouring britain's war dead on remembrance sunday. a murder investigation has begun after a man was apparently beaten to death in ilford, east london by a gang wielding baseball bats. the spanish prime minister is visiting catalonia for the first time since he imposed direct rule on the region. ahead of next month's early regional elections, mariano rajoy, launched his people's party's campaign in barcelona. now on bbc news, it's time for dateline london. hello. this is dateline london. i'm shaun ley. this week, two ways to shuffle your rivals out of the door — house arrest in a luxury hotel or a 6500 kilometre flight of shame. to discuss whether saudi arabia saw a purge or a power grab last weekend and whether the resignation of the british cabinet minister priti patel was a missed opportunity for prime minister theresa may, i'm joined by iain martin, columnist with the times of london, who used his column to urg

the mail on sunday says a secret memo seen by the paper has exposed a plot by micheal gove and borisjohnsono hijack number10. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the foreign secretary borisjohnson has agreed to a meeting with the husband of a british woman who's in prison in iran accused of spying. the family of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe fear her sentence could be extended following recent comments by borisjohnson that she'd been teaching journalism in iran rather than there on holiday, as she maintains. here's our political correspondent eleanor garnier. injail in iran. separated from her daughter and husband. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is british and iranian and facing a five—year sentence for allegedly plotting to topple the government in tehran. it's now understood the foreign secretary borisjohnson has agreed to meet her husband. i think it's important now that he tries to meet with us as soon as possible, next week, so that it's clear from a political point of view that the uk government is standing alongside nazanin and her family. this week, the foreign secretary had to apologise a

so for michael gove to go on tv today and say he is not sure and takes the husband's words for it — het him compounding the light told about her training journalists is only going to make life worse for my constituent. michael gove was also making the point that the people to blame here are the iranians, that to turn all this anger on a democratically elected minister who may have misspoke is misguided, is misdirected. there is no doubt about the fact that the iranians are at fault here. i have been saying that for 19 months now, but i have also been appealing to our foreign secretary to help a young mother who is separated from her daughter, denied medical access, denied consular access, has been on hunger strike, is suicidal and appealing for help, and what he has done is not a gaffe, it's not a blunder, but it's a very serious mistake. it's a grave error, which as a result, my constituent is facing fresh charges, and may have to stay in jail for longer. we were told that borisjohnson has spoken to richard ratcliffe, nazanin's husband. you may not be able to comment on that. but do y

i will talk to the politicians, michael gove, the environment secretary and leading brexiteer.ngineer and entrepreneur sir james dyson. on talking to tim parker, boss of the national trust. annette benning, the actress, and tim parker, and stuart piech, chief of the general staff, i'm getting mixed up because we got so many guests. a very busy hour and a bit after 9am. with a lineup like that i think we can forgive you repeating one of them! thanks, andrew, talk to you later. it's a tradition that's long been the soundtrack to all sorts of occasions, whether joyful or sombre. but there are concerns bell ringing is at risk of dying out. a new uk—wide campaign is hoping to ring in the changes and attract a new generation to the art form. breakfast‘s tim muffett has been to find out more. treble's going... she's gone. weddings... remembrance... treble two two! national celebrations. or just another sunday morning. church bells convey many messages. five to four. ringing them brings many benefits. is good for the brain, it's good physical exercise as well. it's both physically and

. asking michael gove about nazanin zaghari-ratcliffe.e doing when she went to iran?” zaghari-ratcliffe. what was she doing when she went to iran? i don't know. one of the things i want to stress, there is no reason why nazanin zaghari— ratcliffe should stress, there is no reason why nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe should be in prison in iran as far as any of us in prison in iran as far as any of us know. you say you don't know what shooting, her husband is clear she was on holiday. that what she was doing. i take her husband 's assurance. he said she was training journalists that has been grabbed by the iranian judicially to journalists that has been grabbed by the iranianjudicially to put her plight into an even worse position also that is surely his fault. whatever we as democrats choose to do or say extremist will choose to deploy for their own purposes. we play their game. we point the finger at democrat to try to do the right thing when it is extremist responsible for the use of human rights. that exchange, and what borisjohnson said righ

some of the big beast like michael gove and boris johnson, some of the big beast like michael gove ando had been the main opposition in the cabinet to the remainders, it looks like they are coming on board. —— to the remainers. we haven't got the figure but it will be paid over a number of yea rs. but it will be paid over a number of years. it shouldn't come as a massive shock to our finances. and we are told each year it will gradually go down. that's the idea. provided the government has prepared for it it shouldn't come as a shock but we should be prepared. also it is what the government spends in a week. that puts it into context. is what the government spends in a week. that puts it into contextm does. what do they spend it on? exactly. what is the offshoot? exactly. what is the offshoot? exactly. iain duncan smith said this is the song, but in the long run we will save vast amounts by no longer paying into it. —— this is the sum. yvette cooper was saying remember that thing on the bus, 350 million, you told us we would save that, now you told us we would save that, now you are te

probably he and michael gove, since they campaigned hard for brexit, it is incumbent on them to makects badly on them and presumably their future in cabinet are linked to that and there are people who feel the prime minister has not grasped the nettle and is trying to keep all sides in the cabinet together and at the expense of the negotiations so that might be the reason they wrote the letter that the fact it was leaked from number10, that the fact it was leaked from number 10, presumably by somebody who wanted to undermine them proves how divisive it is the divisions that are within canada. almost —— within the cabinet. global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to rise for the first time in four years. scientists at a united nations climate conference in germany say the main cause of the expected growth has been greater use of coal in china as its economy expanded. they‘re warning that levels of c02 need to be reduced before 2020 if we are to limit dangerous global warming this century. here‘s our science editor david shukman. for more than a week now, the people of delhi have

, betrayal or treachery directed at borisjohnson and michael gove, the brexiteers in the cabinet, butin the cabinet, but there is a clear contrast between their sta nce is a clear contrast between their stance and the views of brexiteers on backbenchers where many are up in arms at the idea of paying billions more to the eu as part of these divorce negotiations. won this morning saying we need to be able to look our constituents in the eye at the time of tight public spending constraints. others take the view of the eu is in turmoil because of the uncertainty surrounding the german chancellor's position and she is central to agreeing any progress in talks so better to sit back and let the eu sweat it out. borisjohnson and michael gove however have decided more cash has to be put on the table if we are to press on to trade talks, even though no figure is likely to be unveiled until the very last moment. as for mrs may, i think she can probably talk this one down as a bit of a win because she has bounced the brexiteers in the cabinet into backing her, when they could have sided with the

sadiq khan, meryl blunden, with his view, but also speaking on the andrew marr show boz michael gove,has he been saying? michael gove was on the andrew marr programme to announce plans for a new environmental watchdog which will take over many of the functions of the eu after brexit, this is something ahead of the eu withdrawal bill facing parliamentary scrutiny on tuesday and wednesday next week, the first stage of the detailed scrutiny, but of course this boris johnson issue came up, he faced a number of questions from andrew marr about boris johnson's number of questions from andrew marr about borisjohnson's position. michael gove's view was that the media, politicians should be focusing the blame on the saudi arabian regime rather than his colleague. we make a big mistake, andrew, if we think the right thing to do is to blame politicians in a democracy who are trying to do the right thing for the plight of a woman who is being imprisoned by a regime that is a serial abuse of human rights. who is in the dock it? iran. it should be the actions of a judiciary and revolutionary guard.

what about michael gove and this comments yesterday? good morning.litically about this case is it sums up the duty to protect the interests of british citizens abroad. lot of criticism last week after the remarks of borisjohnson, the suggestion she was training journalists in iran. and now michael gove has appeared to muddy the waters in the interview on the andrew marr show yesterday. he claimed he did not know what she was doing in iran despite the fact boris johnson in his clarification last week said the british government was absolutely of the view that she was merely on holiday with her daughter. so, still some big questions from the government on this. relief from the government on this. relief from the family that finally the government seems to be talking about it and it is generating headlines. meanwhile, for the government, at the start of the new week, the return of the b word, brexit, knocked out of the headlines for the last few weeks, coming to dominate again in the next few days with the eu withdrawal bill being debated, the legislati

, the man who crushed boris johnson's hopes michael gove, the man who crushed borisjohnson's hopes ofsycho drama, some might say. and theresa may, a more skilled politician than theresa may would struggle to solve it. but she is certainly struggling. it's interesting, coming back to what you we re interesting, coming back to what you were say, jacqui, about the politics of it, for the westminster geeks, it's all very exciting for a lot of people watching and thinking — how is it that all these months in, we're still at stage one and the eu negotiators are saying, until this is sorted, we can't move on and we just seem to have got stuck?|j is sorted, we can't move on and we just seem to have got stuck? i think we got stuck because the division is -is we got stuck because the division is — is our heart really in it? and the eu,i — is our heart really in it? and the eu, isuppose, sent — is our heart really in it? and the eu, i suppose, sent that. and maybe they are on our side, trying to make it as difficult as possible, thinking — they'll come to their senses. once we've discussed this,

the government has previously resisted eu restrictions but mr gove says he recogises the mounting bodyhe first thing you'd do if your numbers came up on the lottery? smile. have a cup of tea? i don't know. hand your notice in? that's exactly what six hospital kitchen workers south wales have done after scooping 25 million on the euromillions. the women have been playing as a work syndicate for the past six years. they're currently planning a dream holiday together to las vegas. good that they have all stayed friends. another question for you. can the former president of the united states be called up forjury service? yes, he can! barack 0bama arrived for duty at a chicago courthouse yesterday, and joined other prospective jurors waiting to see if they would be chosen to serve. while he took the time to shake a few hands and sign some autographs, the former commander—in—chief wasn't required and was dismissed. if he'd been selected, he would have been paid the princely sum of 13 pounds a day. yeah. have you ever donejury service? rola no. they end up picking a spokesperson. you would im

. —— and one of them was michael gove.facing him was will the price of our food go up after brexit? and if so, by how much? it's one of the issues a committee of peers is looking into. lord krebs, a former chairman of the food standards agency, told the environment secretary that some of the major retailers believed that cutting formal ties with the eu, or leaving with no deal at all, would result in significant price increases. the chairman of sainsbury's estimated about 10% or thereabouts, so i wondered what the figures are that your officials have come up with in different scenarios? i think it's almost impossible to predict with accuracy, for a variety of reasons. one of them is that some of the biggest factors which bear on food prices are beyond any politician's control, so there are world commodity prices, and it's also the case that there are the prices of inputs, like energy and so on. it's also the case that, if you have reform in the supply chain, you can also bring prices down and ensure that you have a greater

today, michael gove attempted to shift the attention.emocrat to justify an unjustifiable decision, it's our responsibility to call them out. let's not play their game. mrs zaghari—ratcliffe's husband and the foreign secretary spoke for the first time today. they've agreed to meet within a couple of weeks. but the family's local mp is calling for resignations. it is the job of the british government to protect british citizens. if they make matters worse for my constituent, they need to realise that they are unfit for office and michael gove and borisjohnson, who are meant to be the leading lights in the government, have got to resign. with more calls for senior ministers to go, the pressure is growing on the prime minister to get a grip on her cabinet. there have been two resignations in the space of a week and one of her closest allies is under investigation. all this while the government is embroiled in the brexit negotiations. for now, the focus for the foreign secretary, and of course mrs zaghari—ratcliffe's husband, must be to get h

boris johnson and michael gove, says the mail on sunday, are actually running this ha rd sunday, are actually running this hard brexit cell. this letter has leaked. for your and gavin 's i only, it says. it is very controversial. they don't want this getting out. it has bilic to the mail on sunday. you very kindly both flagged up what is coming next without rushing on. these are very well trained guests: let us takes the compliment. these are very well trained guests: let us takes the complimentm these are very well trained guests: let us takes the compliment. it do, it is meant, in exactly that way. thank you. you mentioned that perhaps boris johnson thank you. you mentioned that perhaps borisjohnson stock is not so perhaps borisjohnson stock is not so high after, you know, as it was maybe higher after the kip conference. sack boris for shaping oui’ conference. sack boris for shaping our nation, this isjeremy corbyn, particularly in regard to that incredibly unhelpful comment about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who is now been dragged in front of a very conservative judge now been drag

but with fellow cabinet members including michael gove and amber rudd breathing down his neck, he'lllso be thinking about making a splash — in a good way — if such a thing is possible. i have not got money to buy a house. when do you reckon you will be able to buy? about ten years. working as a nurse for 26 years, do the tories expect our support in the light of another 1% pay increase ? there isn't a magic money tree we can shake to provide for everything people want. indeed there was no magic money tree for the nation. but are the tories about to unveil a more modest, magic money tap? no, they don't have an overall majority at this stage. on that grim mid—summer night for the conservatives, they lost seats in their natural territory. anxious younger people lay at the heart of that story as voters in their 20s, 30s and 40s preferred labour. it is philip hammond's challenge in this budget to reset his party and the relations with those younger voters. at the june election, we lost among all age groups up to the age of 49. and that is a terrifying position for the conservative party t

mr gove's lack of clarity was in contrast to boris johnson's insistence she had been visiting relativesay in iran when she was arrested last year and that was the sole purpose of her visit. the foreign secretary had himself been forced to make a statement after mistakenly saying mrs nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe had been teaching journalism in iran. labour has called for him to be sacked. but richard ratcliffe says resignations won't help his wife. in a statement he said she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and had found lumps on her breast. they were thought to be benign but a family history of breast cancer meant her situation would be kept under close surveillance. 0ver situation would be kept under close surveillance. over the weekend, situation would be kept under close surveillance. 0verthe weekend, mr ratcliffe told breakfast that boris johnson had a crucial role in securing his wife's release and allowing him to finally see his daughter again, who is still in iran. i think it is really important that he gets on a plane to go and see nazanin. i would like to go and see nazanin

if we go back to that period, at the gove say ij m"— really say, but, the talk at the time was, we don'tst time was, we don't want this details. we just have a feeling about it. people knew what they thought about immigration generally, and they knew what they thought about taking back control, and they voted on that basis. the gita that comes from this, i would argue the broader public is not interested by it. -- broader public is not interested by it. —— the detail. what i find interesting about the labour edition is that they are taking this view as if they have a counter position to the government, and as if they want to stay in the eu. —— labour position. but of course the labour policy is also to leave. this is a story i found interesting. the front of the daily telegraph. you've got for my children, i have three. jeremy hunt says we need to get them off social media. we already know that anyway, really. off social media. we already know thatanyway, really. parenting off social media. we already know that anyway, really. parenting is extremely challenging in this age, isn't it? the
