there will be when the bill leaves the house of commons and goes to the house of commons and goes to 0k, thank you very much. thank you. and we'll be speaking to the report author matthew taylor at 3:45pm. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has agreed with a conservative mp that the european union can "go whistle" for any final payment from the uk when it leaves. speaking in the house of commons, he also said there was no plan for what to do in the event that britain fails to strike a deal with the eu. because the government was confident of getting a strong deal. they make a lot of noise but they don't get what they want is where that is heading? to put it another way boris johnson is basically saying no way. the uk is going to be paying large sums of money. we are at the start of very difficult brexit negotiations. and there will be some worry that borisjohnson is butting in. that hardly eases the brexit secretary's path. in trying to manage the departure. the british government have been told in clear terms there is no prospect of getting a trade deal which is what we really wan

the question is, does the government involuntarily lose a vote of confidence in the house of commons?n by elections and whether the conservatives lose seats. a defense partly on whether the concert of internal divisions over brexit cause one or two more divisions. and it could get down to such boring things as, does davis davis get stuck in the fog at the airport on the day of a no-confidence vote. will the government fall early or after a considerable amount of time is difficult to forecast. it could be down to circumstance, ill health, b i-election losses, all of which is unpredictable. matt: would the u.k. public look for jeremy corbyn because i now regret having approved the brexit, and think he is a way out? >> well, it is certainly true that whatever party voters remain much more of a programming vote. one of the things that happened is remain voters swung to the labour party strongly. leave voters switch to the conservatives. the labour party certainly has a pretty strong remain electorate. but of course, the problem the party faces is that on the other hand, many inside the pa

the british government has survived its first tests in the house of commons — winning the vote on theen's speech — but compromises are everywhere. brexit talks are ongoing, and we have word today from a former insider that the prime minister's red lines are making negotiations very difficult. and northern ireland is still waiting to return to power sharing — there's been yet another extension to the deadline with those talks with the dup. steve, how do you assess where we are this way? we have many vivid examples of this government's fragility, it's unavoidable fragility. when we got the concession about people in northern ireland being able to now come over here, to the rest of the uk, to have abortions costing quite a lot of money, that was because otherwise the government would have been defeated. this is going to happen on a regular basis. it did when we last had in effect a minority government between 1974 and 79 — they were defeated all the time and if they weren't defeated they were making manoeuvres all the time. apart from anything else, it's exhausting for the prime minister

they will hope that appeals to some people on both sides of the house of commons, but getting it done to wear theresa may thought she would be when she called the election. undoubtedly. the reason she called it was in her own words to strengthen her hand, particularly going into the brexit talks which have already started. she hoped she would not have to worry about lots of fights in parliament when she was entering into tricky negotiations with the eu. but in fact she has ended up in a completely different position now where she will rely on every single mp's where she will rely on every single mp‘s vote within her own party to get things done. and we know on the huge issue of brexit there are very divided views within the conservative party alone, so herjob rather than becoming easier as a consequence of the election, has become much harder. and we are expecting her to say tomorrow, those words about reaching out, is a signal she recognises now she will have to compromise on some issues if she wants to get the business of running the country on a day—to—day basis anywhere near done.

>> all options are on the table as far as the house of commons is concerned. being this speech pitched towards? we have seen she wants cross party consensus. she'll try to win some of the p ro-remain votes on the labour side. everything is on the table right now. right now she wants to be as excessive all right now. conservative party politics is something you have to consider as well. mark: so, an election within the five-year fixed parliament's period you would say is more likely? client, ince again, a know these are early days. the conversations lean more toward expecting an earlier move. mark: sterling, outlook? >> it's not going to fall much at this point. cable is heading higher. euro-sterling, slightly harder. softer against the euro, but stronger against the dollar. mark: 1.35, so it is creeping higher. >> it is. they want to keep inflation in check, and the fed does not have additional hawkishness. but we have come a long way from 1.20. say, we get a sudden tumble based on brexit rhetoric or something along those lines, something close to the denver si

today it joins the likes of buckingham palace and the house of commons in receiving grade 0ne listed this morning as the first major contracts to build the hs2 rail line are announced. the high—speed line between birmingham and london will cost around £7 billion. later this afternoon, the routes for extensions to leeds and manchester will also be announced. our business correspondent, joe lynam, has more. it's britain's biggest investment ever in public transport. highspeed2 is designed to cut journey times and increase the number of passenger seats between london and the northwest via birmingham. it's been six years in the planning but now the first construction contracts have been signed, and they're worth £6.6 billion, which the government says will support 16,000 jobs during the construction phase. the first trains aren't expected to run, though, until 2026, by which time they hope to carry 300,000 passengers per day. £50 billion on a track of this nature... but hs2 has faced stiff opposition. the stop hs2 campaign in the chiltern says it will only benefit the richest in society

you might expect, but that puts her in a difficult position because with no majority in the house of commonst the outcome will be. the conservative party said they would investigate. there is a reluctance across the house to indulge in a by—election because the numbers are so by—election because the numbers are so slim. theresa may is already relying on ten members of the dup so she cannot afford to lose any of her own. the prime minister's offered to opposition parties to work with the government has been rebuffed by the labour party, who said the conservatives have ran out of ideas. the strategy is being seen as an attempt to assert her authority after losing her parliamentary majority last month. i have been speaking to an acid break and our staff are thoughts on theresa may reaching out. i think a lot of people will welcome that. people wa nt people will welcome that. people want us to work together. there are issues where we should work more, social care is an example. we have been talking about it for a decade so we been talking about it for a decade so we need to get on and do it. we

think, be serious clashes with the house of lords because they are dealing with a minority government. the house of lords is even more strongly remain than the commons that the house of commons not only has a majority of people who voted remain but an even larger majority, given the increase in the number of labour mps, and even larger majority than in the 2015 parliament. so it is being required to do something that it doesn't want to do which is a constitutionalfirst in british history. let's get a brief final thought from all of you. imagine that you are sitting in these chairs 12 months from now, where are we? is theresa may still prime minister? have we had another election? jill rutter. who knows, who knows? i think it is absolutely impossible to say. ithink, hopefully, well, where do we hope to be? we hope to be much clearer about the uk government's negotiating objectives. ideally, there would be far more consensus about what we are trying to object, we want to make progress in getting some of the necessary legislation through onto the statute book. we would be clear what sort of outcome we are starting to implement. that is what we need to

alternative peaceful methods were not exhausted before the war kick started let's take a listen to the house of commons on september twenty fourth two thousand and two mr blair presented iraq's past current and future capabilities as evidence of the security civility of the potential threat from iraq. the judgments about iraq's capabilities in that statement and in the dossier published the same. we're presented with a certainty that was not justified. well lo despite chilcote's findings and this latest case we do know of course that for now tony blair is not going to be headed to court right this minute despite the massive death toll that this war brought with it despite the consequences it had for the region and endless calls from relatives of iraq war victims to see him be brought to justice. but one terrorist in this world well needs to be aware of these names tony but we were proud of scrooge so it was so good to sort of a country but we can be proud of the way. the streets. well law given these moods that remain quite popular it seems that this issue is not going to go away despite this latest ca

greenwood, a labour mp in nottingham, and also the chair of the transport select committee in the house of commonse of commons. in a way it isn't a shock. we have been anticipating it, but ministers have dragged this decision now. it's bad news for passengers, bad news for the east midlands rail industry and bad news for the planet, deciding to move away from electrification. what about the government's view that this new breed of hybrid trains is actually good news, they will be new and clea n. good news, they will be new and clean. some of the trains on this line have been running for two yea rs. line have been running for two years. of course we want new trains. that's what we were promised. but we we re that's what we were promised. but we were promised a totally electrified midland mainline. hybrid trains are useful, but they are more expensive to operate, more expensive to maintain, and they don't help with cutting carbon emissions. what can you do? there is a big issue with connectivity with the new hs2 routes. i will be working together with other mps across the region, as we have done ove
