work in pensions, which is seen as a poison chalice, very difficult, and a legacy issue from iain duncan smith's credit is as well. yet. it has been a nightmare, causing many problems. let's move on to the next story, this one in bloomberg. one of their favourite lines is suggesting aston martin could come to market, a flirtation, a valuation putting it on par with ferraris. i would a valuation putting it on par with ferraris. iwould imagine a valuation putting it on par with ferraris. i would imagine people would like to get a bit of aston martin. they cannot drive one but perhaps they can get some shares. martin. they cannot drive one but perhaps they can get some sharesm is always exciting when a company floats and goes on to the public market. it is also a test of investor appetite out there, and with a british brand going on the market, it would be a test on brexit. a litmus test on investor sentiment, and also a car. the market flotations that get all of the attention, and many argue they are overvalued, technology stocks, coming to market at the moment, it isa coming to market at the mome

we saw that with the conservative party when iain duncan smith was elected., but what you have to remember is the parties have to give members something to keep them involved. i mean, cherry and chloe here do all the wonderful things that party members do, campaigning and so on, but what is the incentive for someone to get involved if they don't get a say? it's a real balancing act for parties. it's extending it. also, you know, having members choose the leadership, whatever party is more democratic. it's about... better than the mp5, you think? yes! because they're a small group, deals can be stitched up, they think about their promotions. are they‘ re accountable to the voters in a way that the activists aren't? if you're asking members, we are members of conservative party, but anybody can be a member of a political party. anyone canjoin. justin says this argument has been raging since 1902. so we probably won't resolve it now. but we're trying to make politics that reflects the people. thank you all very much. just a very quick time to look at the papers.

i'm joined by the conservative mp, iain duncan smith. philip hammond in davosis duncan smith.is speech, he hopes for only a very modest change in the relationship between britain and the eu after britain leaves, and here we have jacob rees—mogg making these comments? i was surprised that the chancellor's intervention. the public voted the two parties, leaving the single market and the customs union. that was explicit in the manifesto signed up to by the government and which the public voted for. that means quite substantial change, not minor change. we want to remain good friends and allies, cooperate and have a good trade arrangement but it is substantial change. to that extent, i haven't seen the jacob rees—mogg speech, but i think he is closer to where the government was at the time of the election and needs to be as we go through, which is we have a need for clarity, a sense of vision about our future, where we intend ourselves to be and a restatement of the fact we won't be ina a restatement of the fact we won't be in a customs union of any sort with the european union af
