christian, help me out on the issue of the house of lords, is it a real prospect that an unelected secondh by the elected house of commons? i don't think it is a real possibility. i think it will be tight but the house of lords has leeway to extend its business into friday, saturday and sunday before the earliest opportunity boris johnson would have two prorogue parliament, which would be on monday. having said that, if you extend business into friday, you have to get a motion through and there would be loads of amendments to that as well. but we have seen lords today going into the house with sleeping bags and tins of food, so they are in for the long haul, and remember that the government, although it has lots of friends and allies in the house of lords, it doesn't have a majority there and i doesn't have a majority there and i do sense that the remainers are preparing for a fight. so no, i don't think it is going to mean that the bill is talked out. i think it is very likely at the end of this whole week when we get to perhaps saturday night that the bill would have got what we call ro

the arguments are the same, they are just being rerun for the second time in the house of lords afterrespondent, damian grammaticas, is in brussels. we were talking about whether the vote yesterday would in any way change the dynamics of any talks that may be going on between the uk and brussels. what are your thoughts today? i'm in the european parliament right now because here we have the parliament brexit steering group who will shortly be meeting here for an update on the question of whether there has been any progress? that is what we will will be hearing from michel barnier in the next few minutes. he will be coming to brief them. we've already seen michel barnierjust a bit earlier today, and he was updating eu member states, the 27 countries, and their investors here on the way into that meeting. he would only say he was busy working trying to get an agreement, and on the way out, he seemed pretty chipper and in a good mood. but he said basically the eu is facing the situation with calm. but the more important thing today, david frost, the prime minister's chief eu adviser, was

the opposition mps think they can get it through, partly because the house of lords very much a pro—remainedhouse of lords very much a pro-remained chamber. so they would try to filibuster it, talk it out, but they could extend to friday, saturday, sunday, before prorogation on monday. yes, there is a strange quirk, if they sit through the night tonight and carry on tomorrow, wednesday never ends. so they get stuck on wednesday. and even though we've moved on to thursday and friday, it's absolutely surreal. you can't be stuck in wednesday when there's so much happening on thursday! talk to me about the election vote, there has been a division of views within the labour party. we had some bruising from keir starmer today that they would not be an election until after 0ctober would not be an election until after october 31, but that doesn't seem to be what the leaders of this is saying. it's very tricky for labour. they want to make sure that stopping no—deal is actually enacted, not just that the bill goes through, but it doesn't mean the prime ministers gone to the eu and asked for that dela

you can then see the house of lords sitting not only just can then see the house of lords sitting notrew can then see the house of lords sitting not only just threw this week but until the weekend. from boris johnson's week but until the weekend. from borisjohnson's point of view, this isa borisjohnson's point of view, this is a huge political gamble really whatever he does next, this is a job he wanted all his life we are told, this is very high stakes next few days? it is high stakes but right from the start he knew that. only indications i get from downing street is the new people have moved on and reckoned it is go for broke. they knew and it took the jobs they might not be there in a couple of months so basically they also know it isa months so basically they also know it is a huge gamble but they go for it, if they get this through and boris johnson's entire premiership depends on getting brexit done by october 31. if they get it through, they have jobs for a very long time but if they don't, they understand they will be out. it started as high sta kes they will be out. it start

the house of lords have approved this legislation, it now heads off to get the royal assent, and joiningent, and joining me now is a shallow labour leader of the house of lords, baroness smith. there has been some discussion in terms of whether there could be any kind of loophole in this legislation, whether they would be a way for the government to ignore it if they wanted to. do you think it is watertight? the government don't like the legislation but i think the will of parliament, we have voted overwhelmingly at a no—deal brexit is damaging to the country. it does give me some cause for concern that the government is looking for some wiggle room or some trickery to say there might be something with the legislation? —— something wrong with the legislation. i think the government want to stop it and it failed in the house of commons, there were plans to have delaying tactics or filibustering in the house of lords but it would be wrong. parliament is clear on this, parliament does not want a no—deal brexit and this is what the legislation is for. we are sure this legislation is for. we

so the house of lords has to get this legislation passed by friday in effect. think there is a decent chance of this bill being filibustered in the house of lords, thereby blocking it. connell: that was the whole idea from johnson's point of view when he suspended parliament, to give them less time to talk about this. maybe that works. and then as a final point here, now because this whole thing gets confusing to a lot of people who just want to know what will happen over there, no fallout, no deal, what do you see actually happening by the 31st of october? is britain, definitely out by then or is it still really up in the air as you see it? >> it has been up in the air at the moment but the prime minister today pledged to take britain out of the e.u. by october 31st. he is determined to do so. if there is general election on october 15th, conservatives will win that with a comfortable majority. britain is definitely out. if there is no general election, if the house of lords approves of this bill, then the prime minister's placed in extremely difficult position

it will be endlessly strung up in the house of lords and legislative ping—pong. strung up in the houseavour of a brexit deal but would be deeply opposed to no deal. and they are only giving the prime minister this time to negotiate because they think keeping no deal on a table will deliver a deal but in actual fact if you say he does not want to deal, that will upset a lot of conservative mps. the thing that governs his negotiating strategy is you have to keep no deal on that table to focus minds to cut a good dealfor both sides. on that table to focus minds to cut a good deal for both sides.” on that table to focus minds to cut a good deal for both sides. i am not sure he does want a deal actually. if he wants a deal, why are all the leaders in europe and brussels saying there is this time we said to borisjohnson if you do not want saying there is this time we said to boris johnson if you do not want the back you have to put forward a workable alternative and two weeks have passed and i think this idea that place johnson wants a deal is absolutely no way he can get the legislation thr

i'm joined by a member of the house of lords, robert hayward we got two more days of legislation in the upper chamber, in the house of lords, over this effort to try and block a no deal brexit at the end of october is there any chance that will run into major obstacles as far as you're concerned? >> no, the agreement has been done, completed this morning and we will now deliver that bill back to the commons with effect from friday afternoon >> just for viewers watching this, both in the uk and across europe, the u.s. this time of the morning, how unusual was the contraction of the timetable that we saw agreed yesterday, in terms of the way the lords -- the house of lords deliberates over this kind of legislation? >> we do the revision and the review of legislation. and that takes time. and therefore what was happening yesterday was extraordinary. we're in extraordinary times and we probably will be for the next few days. >> let's talk about what those extraordinary times could lead to down the road boris johnson is prime minister has said he's keen to have elections as soon as possible.

on october 31st the bill now goes to the upper chamber the house of lords johnson is seeking a snap general election on the 15th of october in the hopes of winning a majority so that he can then fulfill his promise of leaving the e.u. with or without a deal at the end of next month. just a short time ago johnson slammed the results of this vote take a listen it's a i believe it's ok to be in these negotiations a bill that demands an extension at least until next year and perhaps for many more years to come in to build the insists britain acquiesce to the demands of brussels and hands control to our partners it's a bill designed to overturn the biggest democratic fates you know he's free to trade the 60 for an. artless take this now into barber basler she joins us from london ok barbara here we are we've got a 2nd rebuke for the prime minister what happens now that the members of parliament have approved this bill to stop a new deal departure from the e.u. . so they have approved this deal that is supposed to tie his hands and it's been the same majority mol less than we've seen last night t

is quite clear that the prorogue ation is not a proceeding in parliament it takes place in the house of lords chamber in the presence of members of both houses but it is not that decision it is something which has been imposed upon them from outside does not something on which members can speak or vote it is not the core essential business of parliament which the bill of rights protects quite the reverse it brings that core essential business to an end this court has already concluded that the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful void and have no effect this means that the order in council to which it led was also unlawful void and of no effect and should be quashed this means that when the royal commission has walked into the house of lords it was as if they had walked in with a blank sheet of paper the probation was also void and of no effect parliament has not been pro wrote this is the unanimous judgment of all 11 justices. it is for parliament and in particular the speaker and the lord speaker to decide what to do next unless there is some parliamentary rule of which we ar

meanwhile, in the house of lords, they prepared for a very long night. he small hours. but then, at 20 past one this morning, an agreement. the lords will finish its scrutiny of this planned new law by tomorrow night. so, no—deal not quite ruled out yet. no election called this time round. but make no mistake, one is coming, and soon. let's speak to our assistant political editor, norman smith. good morning. shall we begin with the house of lords and that packed in the early hours of this morning? it had been thought the brexit delay bill would be basically talked out and the lord's were taught for such and the lord's were taught for such a long time that they would not get round to voting for it but that didn't happen, why not? bluntly, because boris johnson didn't happen, why not? bluntly, because borisjohnson has run up the white flag over this bill designed to thwart no—deal. not because he likes it. he still regards it as the surrender bill. but because he has made a calculation that he can call jeremy corbyn‘s bluff. by saint mr corbyn, ok, we are g

the proposed law goes to the house of lords for consideration. johnson has slammed what is going on. >> is completely impossible for government to function if the house of commons refuses to pass anything the government reposes. in my view -- the government proposes. there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of october, and i invite you to respond to which of us goes as prime minister in the crucial council on thursday the 17th. i think it is very sad empties have voted like that -- sad mp's have voted like this. it is a dereliction of democratic duty. if i am still prime minister after tuesday, the 15th, we believe on the 31st of october with i hope a much better deal. brent: let's take this story to london. barbara wesel is on the story for us tonight. good evening. where do we go? the house of commons said yes to stopping preventing a no deal departure from the european union. what happens next? barbara: the house of commons has given it its best efforts to save the country as this side of the house says, save the country from a disorde

this is joining us now from london give us some indication what the procedure is now that the house of lords has passed this bill. well it now goes for royal assent which is basically a sign off from the queen this is normal procedure for a law to be passed by the house of parliament was the upper chamber the house of lords unelected that put this through ahead of time they were prepared to sit right the way through the weekend day and night but as it turned out the government didn't go ahead with something like 100 amendments to try and that is used to filibuster the situation and prolonging the whole process but in the end it passed well ahead of time what happens now is that all monday this bill which is going to effectively block a no deal breaks it and puts the extend the deadline from october the 31st the brics it automatically come into place to actually post bone it's until up to january 2020 now the opposition are saying they will not allow boris johnson to call that election and the arithmetic shows they'll have no problem in doing that on monday in the house of commons in to actua

the real action will be in the house of lords where there are 90 amendments to a very basic business e, and the person brought suitcases, duvets, shaving kits and toothbrushes, to stay all night to try to get this thing through before parliament is prorogued on monday. maybe we should do the same, it would save us from going home! as you can see, they are going out to vote at the moment, this is in fact amendment 19, has come from the conservative mp for gloucester, remove the need for parliament to approve a no—deal and add a requirement for the pm to seek an extension for a deal. that is the first of various amendments that have been put forward, cross party, through the evening. there could be as many as ten votes on this committee stage, so we could be here well until nine o'clock till we get through all of this. there has been a 1922 committee meeting in the last hour. what are we hearing from them? it didn't go terribly well for boris johnson. quite a lot of conservative mps repeatedly attacked him for his decisionat the 1922 as the committee of mps. sort of trade union for the

>> it may be the speaker of the house of commons and the lord speaker in the house of lords, if this court were to declare speedily that the advice was unlawful, this court is not going to give any further remedy , that the lord speaker and the speaker of the house of commons will take action to ensure parliament reopens as soon as possible. then parliament can debate, parliament will decide exactly how it wishes to proceed. that is the appropriate way forward. i respectfully submit to become involved in those matters unless it really has to. >> the court understands. declaration of advice is given, it does not require intervention by the prime minister. >> that would be some -- my submission. it would be a matter for the speaker of the house of commons to decide how best now to proceed. they would know. in that contingency, they would know that the supreme court had ruled that the prime minister's advice, which led to the prorogation, was unlawful. they would know if the court were prepared so to indicate that the basis of that declaration was that the court that theview parliamentar

it looks likely due to this law which was struck in the house of lords la st was struck in the house resting how labour have been prevaricating on this position, trying to find any excuse not to call a general election. jeremy corbyn, even though he said he wanted an election, he refused to back it. he has been doing the same this week. this is a labour party that doesn't really want to go back to the people, and you can see why with where they are polling, with their leader being less popular than trump in this country, jeremy corbyn, so it is quite a strong line he has come out with today. it will be interesting to see if labour come through with that on monday. again, the only person who said they don't wa nt the only person who said they don't want a general election is the prime minister himself, and that was all of three days ago. so the issue now. . . of three days ago. so the issue now... sorry to interrupt you, just for people watching at home, and again, to go back to what you said and explain it, jeremy corbyn, i we have seen him over and over saying he wanted a general ele

>> it may be that the speaker of the house of commons and the lord speaker in the house of lords if this court were to declare speedily that the advice was unlawful and that this court is not going to get any further remedy to the respect and matters will be dealt with in parliament the lord speaker and the speaker of the house of commons will take action to ensure the parliament re-reference as soon as possible next week's matter than and then parliament candidate and parliament will decide exactly how it wishes to proceed and in my submission, that is the appropriate way forward. it's not the discourse, i respectfully submit that becoming bold in those matters unless it really has to. unless the matter needs to be looked atfurther . >> i greatly understand your submission that if a declaration of unlawfulness in an issue of the advice is given, doesn't apply and is occasioned by the prime minister , >> that would buy be my submission. it would be in a matter of the lord speaker and house of commons to decide how best now toproceed . they would know in that contingency, they would know

s backing this bill aimed at blocking a no deal that's now off to the house of lords but it can still be scuppered there can't it it's unlikely that it will be stuck with that because the house of lords is very well mainly against not any against bretz in itself and so we expect that the lords will cost a sparrow that will come out of the commons as gerry said and it will be passed around the next week and getting royal assent. johnson suffered a series of parliamentary defeat sever the past few days jonathan and there are deep divisions as we know within the conservative party how much is all of this damage him politically in the broader sense and is his leadership in peril now do you think. it's extraordinary that number 10 was having to do not it was that he was going to resign because he is 6 weeks into his premiership so he's kind of been as he has been hugely dense it's because he's lost the fast 3 very a piece of his premiership so of course he has his one promise is to take us out to the e.u. on 31st will tell you that he's now been trucks he's now been stopped from doing that

once parliament's returns from the summer recess i will be sayn this to them so the ones in the house of lords labor and conservative cheese in the prime minister will be in undemocratic well what don't desa to see if they have because members of the house of lords have not been elected they are appointed minister to. the house of commons who achieves an all stance on it being undemocratic i say this to them when they took their seats in the commons they swore an oath of allegiance to the queen well excuse me the heads of the british states the queen has not been elected so. this argument always johnson is acting in an undemocratic way can be turned on the very people who are choosing it. and secondly glenn glenn i mean one also i mean again irrespective if you like boris johnson's tactics i will even agree there a bit devious ok but it's within the bounds of blogs and tradition here and war and it's as mark is quite correctly pointed out that his claim to scalps prime ministers boris johnson now is and i think he's saying the people voted for briggs and i'm here to implement it because the la

mission and much of my prediction would be is if the against no deal has been approved by the house of lords i think palma next week will give jones and his 2 thirds majority and then we'll be looking as u.k. general election at some point later in the type of john where there's always we appreciate your insights i think you. hong kong's chief executive kerri lamb has bound it in the demands of pro-democracy protesters today she withdrew that controversial extradition bill that sparked months of turmoil in the territory the proposal allows for suspects to be tried in courts in mainland china accords that are run by the communist party fellow citizens for military lamb had already and fully declared the controversial bill is being dead back in june and on wednesday she made it formal with a televised address. 1st the government will formally withdraw the bill in order to fully allay public concerns the secretary for security will move a motion according to the rules of procedure when the legislative council resort. lamb said she was fully aware the move would not satisfy everyone and she was

delaying breck said if the legislation passes parliament members of the upper chamber of the house of lords are to to vote on the bill on friday meanwhile the prime minister barak's johnson has suffered another major bret's and lost his own brother has become the latest conservative m.p. to stand down joe johnson who campaigned for britain to remain in the e.u. joining 2016 friend and said he would quit as an education minister and leave parliament. so after his brother's resignation the prime minister made a speech at a police college in northern england he repeated his view that britain must leave the e.u. on the 31st of october he said the country would need a general election to renew the new mandate all i can say and i hate banging on about bricks it i don't want to go about it anymore and i don't i don't want an election at all i don't want to lecture at all but frankly i can't see any other way the only way to get this thing done to get this thing moving is to make that decision do you want this government to take us out of the 31st or do you want jeremy corbyn a little cloudy go to

they say it ain't over till it's over i mean this legislation passed by the house of commons it has to go to the house of lords in the queen also has to give her blessing i mean how likely is that going to happen and then it's going to happen quickly by next monday right there's a race against time so we don't yet know it's very difficult in the rules as to filibustering the house of lords could potentially do the difficulties is johnson he himself would quickly. the other opposition parties they've got to they're a bit more relaxed about it because johnson what he ultimately needs is an election as soon as possible he needs it to happen before european union council summit on the on the 17th of october that's why he talks about the data 15th of october for the general election labor they can wait a bit if it's the end of october if it's november they can live with that that's absolutely fine because what johnson is to do is want to go you want schools to brussels and say i'm going to force you to basically give me the deal that i want and if you don't listen to me then we go out without a deal the more the cl

britain finally achieved universal suffrage with votes for women and limits to the unelected house of lordsanada for a view both from inside and outside of britain. i think this is as major as the events before the civil war or the crisis before the first world war over the power of the house of lords. i think it is a huge moment and i think the fallout from this will be extraordinary for the next few years. both academics agree that today's judgment was not about brexit, but it was about the proper exercise of power at a time of profound historic division within britain. james robbins, bbc news. let's get a final thought tonight from our political editor laura kuenssberg. at 11.30 tomorrow morning, the house of commons will be in session. it's not a renewal, it's not coming back in the form away, the speaker was clear that it is a resumption of business. what will happen? opening the doors again will be extremely bumpy tomorrow for the prime minister. not to put too fine a point on it, i think borisjohnson is probably going to take an absolute pasting when we see him at the dispatch box th

or the proposed law now goes to the house of lords for consideration johnson he has slammed what's going on take a listen it is completely impossible for government to function if the house of commons refuses to cost anything but the government the price sounds in my view i do view this government there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of october. and i might be right all of a gentleman to respond to decide which of us guus as prime minister that crucial council on thursday the 17th of october i think it's very sound good in piece of a kid like this but if if i'm still prime and i do i think it's a great dereliction of their democratic duty to speak but if i'm still prime minister off to tuesday the 15th of october then we will leave on the 31st of october when i hired a much better deal our let's take a story now to london our correspondent barbara faisal she is on the story for us tonight i get the need to you barbara so where do we go from now the house of commons has said yes to stopping preventing a new deal departure from the european union what happens next. the house o

how will you sitting in the house of lords make sure... cally has a remain majority, doesn't it? the lords has consistently rejected a no—deal brexit, that's what this is about. there is talk it could be filibustered in the lords and boris johnson could pack the lords with new peers. they would have to go through the house of lords appointments commission and get their titles and then made a maiden speech. that is rather unrealistic. the other hypothesis or scenario is the government ignores legislation, which is what michael gove was kind of suggesting. that is so frightening. are we a parliamentary democracy, do we have a rule of law or do we have some kind of a dictatorship which says we are deciding what's going to happen and we don't care what parliament thinks? and we don't care what the public thinks! the public might say are we a democracy, we voted for brexit, why doesn't it get implemented? they did vote for brexit, absolutely, but the brexit offered by the leave campaign was one where we had a good deal, free trade, more money an

defeated in the commons and then defeated again, today beaten in the house of lords. s to approve at least some of those rebels he had thrown out as conservative mps. today he was talking about building bridges, trying to sound conciliatory. but today, more and more tories are saying they will stand down at the next election and they look like joining and reinforcing borisjohnson‘s critics. as for brexit and the election. we will see on monday another attempt by borisjohnson to get approval for an early election and that will surely fail. then the options on the table, in downing street, they range from quitting office in the hope of getting back in again on boris johnson and the government's terms, hoping the eu denies the extension to brexit boris johnson hoping the eu denies the extension to brexit borisjohnson wants so badly to avoid. if this is a cunning plan, and a lot of people, including in the government and tory party, don't believe it is, it seems to need more work and soon. john pienaar, thank you. are deputy political editor. the high court has rejected a

the legislation later passed all its commons stages and went off to the house of lords, where we willwith it injust a moment. boris johnson has repeatedly said he wants to leave the eu on october 31 come what may, and would mps having passed that bill blocking no deal, he came to the commons to ask for an early general election, arguing it was time for the people to have their say. in my view, and the view of this government, there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of october, and i invite the right honourable gentleman to respond to decide which of us goes as prime minister to that crucial counsel on thursday october 17. minister to that crucial counsel on thursday 0ctober17. i don't want an election. the public don't want an election. the public don't want an election. the public don't want an election. the country doesn't want an election. but this house has left no other option than letting the public decide who they want as prime minister and i commend this motion to the house. the offer of the election today is a bit like the offer of an apple to snow white and the wic

they can get the legislation, at least through the commons, although it has to get through the house of lordsgh the house of lords and both chambers in a pretty short space of time, because of course, thinking back to last week's big news, if you can remember, the talk was how boris johnson had sent three of its privy council is off to bell moral in order to ask the queen to suspend parliament starting at some point between the ninth and the 12th of 0ctober. —— bell balmoral. that in itself isn't guaranteed either, in order to push through that legislation. those pushing the idea seemed confident in the numbers, but borisjohnson has seemed confident in the numbers, but boris johnson has been seemed confident in the numbers, but borisjohnson has been trying to turn up heat tonight, coming out on the steps of downing street and saying that if conservative mp is back those cross—party moves to block a no deal brexit, that will hugely damage the uk's negotiating position, because he is holding out, and that you have to keep no deal on the table in order to get brussels to blink. sirjohn curtice i

lower house the house of commons opera pairing to vote on the proposal after holding debates over known as readings if those pass it goes to parliament's opera house the house of lordsembers that will discuss dozens of amendments before voting on the proposal it then goes back to the commons where m.p.'s will discuss any changes the opera house has made if m.p.'s accept those amendments goes to the queen for royal assent and becomes law if they don't a new version of the proposal has to be put forward and the process starts again will journal is following all developments and joins us live now from westminster jonah just to take us through what is happening in the commons right now. well this piece of anti no deal legislation is making its way with lightning speed through the various stages of the house of commons process debate has just ended on a number of amendments 29 amendments table to it they'll now be votes to follow on those amendments before it goes off to the house of lords none of this is expected to disrupt the eventual passage of the nor but we're deep in the realm now of constitutional and parliamentary tactics and tricks some might say to the extent

on 28th of august, mrjacob rees mogg leader of the house of commons and lord president of the privy council mark harper, chief whip, and the baroness evans of bos park, leader of the house of lords, attended a meeting of the privy council and the queen at balmoral castle. an order in council was made that parliament be prorogued between those states and the lord chancellor prepare a commission for probing parliament accordingly. a cabinet meeting was held by conference call in order to bring the rest of the cabinet up to speed end quote on the decisions taken. that same day the decisions taken. that same day the decision was made public and the prime minister sent a letter to all members of parliament explaining it. as soon as the decision was announced as miller began the english proceedings challenging its lawfulness. parliament returned from the summer lawfulness. parliament returned from the summer recess on lawfulness. parliament returned from the summer recess on the 3rd of september, the house of commons voted to decide for themselves what business they would transact, the next day w

the bill will now be debated in the house of lords, where the final decision will be made also: more £13 billion of investment announced in areas including health, education and the police in england. the chancellor says he has turned the page on austerity. and at 11:30pm, we will be taking a look at how the papers will be covering this story with our reviewers, katy balls and lance price. stay with us for that. good evening from westminster, where borisjohnson has suffered another two major setbacks today for his brexit strategy. earlier this evening, a cross—party group of mps was successful in getting a bill passed to prevent a no—deal brexit. the bill which is now going to the house of lords would force the prime minister to do something that he has repeatedly ruled out — asking the eu for yet another brexit delay unless a deal is secured. the prime minister's response was to call for a general election on 15 october, but he failed to get sufficient support from mps. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports on the day's events. are we through the looking glass now? the prime

esther webberjoins me, she's house of lords reporter for the times red box. is happening with jo johnson. yes, this is obviously a major blow to the prime minister and no one really saw this coming, i don't think, given only a few weeks agojojohnson was put into the cabinet in this role. it's a sign, i guess, of how quickly things seem to be unravelling. just a few weeks later, he feels he can't continue to serve under his own brother. your word is ‘unravelling', do you think that's what's happening around the prime minister?|j do you think that's what's happening around the prime minister? i think right now is quite a tight time for the prime minister and number ten. he has lost his first few votes in the commons, he didn't get the general election he wanted in that vote last night. however, that doesn't mean it's all over. you know, possibly extending article 50, that bill is going to progress this week. probably his next move will be to try again for a general election and that's kind of his next stop. let's go back to the small hours of the morning and wh

this means that when the world commission is locked into the house of lords, it was as if they walked blank sheet of paper. —— royal commissioners walked into the house of lords. parliament has not been prorogue. jaw-dropping. i think so. been prorogue. jaw-dropping. i think so. almost every legal expert who looked at it kinda knew the government come if it was declared to be within the purview of the court, the government was a bang to rights because the government visibly this was about trying to stop parliament blocking them from taking the united kingdom out of the eu without a deal. however, a lot of people thought there was a good chanceit people thought there was a good chance it supreme court might go, this actually is in our warehouse commit is your problem, sorted out. or they commit is your problem, sorted out. orthey might commit is your problem, sorted out. or they might have come to a similar conclusion but been sort of less firm and say it is not prorogued but it is suspended. this was a possible scenario, i think this is very much something very few legal experts that

now it is up to the house of lords, though. g to bed down, to talk and talk until it is done, racing against the deadline until parliament sucks next week. a group ofanti—no until parliament sucks next week. a group of anti—no deal mps led by the man who was chancellor a few weeks ago marched themselves to the lords as if to make sure they do their business. the chances of this block failing, tonight peeping in at the edge of the lords, seems slim. so the battle inside may soon be outside if and when a general election is called. there's so much voter apathy. it feels like the country is split down the middle. you'd think it couldn't get any more peculiar and strange. this is the first official request. there must be an election on tuesday the 15th of october, and i invite the honourable gentleman to respond to decide which of us goes as prime minister to that crucial council. labour says not yet. not until the anti—no deal plan becomes law but that will be in a few days. i look forward to the day his government and his party an

parliament has mandated him, assuming the house of lords is it filibustered. jane: the delay to implementing brexit. ed:xaly. he had promised upon becoming prime minister that do or die, he would takeritain out of europe by october 31. he is now mandated by parliament not to. he is in office, in downing street, but not in power. he is powerless to do anything. he is prime minister and he cannoto anything. he wants to call an election, but he can't. he just lost tt vote to call an election as well. we are incompletely uncharted territory. will he go to the queen and say, "let's call an election," bluff his way unconstitutionally through the situation? the queen has never before turned down a prime minister's advice. what does the queen do? she knows it is against the law. the thw is madby parliament. we are already inre mad hatr's tea party territory, but it could get madder. jane: why don't the longer party -- lor party want a general election? ed: jeremy corbyn is not that dissimilar to boris johnson. he does not commend thwhole party for the jeremy corbyn has

of the eu without a deal on october 31st. if the house agrees to an election date on the 15th of october on monday, the leader of the house of lordsister could use to move that date to be on the 31st of october whilst the house is prorogued, in order to take the country up with no deal? what i can assure the house about is that the date will be set and the date will be stuck too. i think everybody, everybody in this house wants to see this issue settled. it is the one thing we have agreement about. and the best way to settle it is through a general election, and a general election before the 31st of october. doesn't the leader of the house understand that such is the lack of trust in this government because of its behaviour that we simply will not vote for a general election unless and until an extension of article 50 has been secured, guaranteeing this country cannot be dragged out with no deal. that is the condition. well, all of that came against a backdrop of the news that boris johnson's brotherjo had decided to quit the government and parliament, saying he was torn between family loyalty and the national interest. oppositon
