"with the uk being part of the eu," i quote, "at present a white romanian jobseeker faces far fewer obstacles to come to britain then an indian engineer or brazilian dentist. but brexit can mean fairness all—round on the basis of meeting our own nation's requirements". so actually, as he states quite clearly there, a post—brexit migration policy could actually let more brown and black people into the uk? so it is not about race? that is a false prospectus being put forward by iain duncan smith because the conservatives have a policy of reducing migration to the tens of thousands. that is a change of course from sajid javid, the new british home secretary who has signalled... what the new home secretary has said in the uk is that the hostile immigration policy announced by one of his predecessors, the prime minister, he will not press on with. but the requirement that immigration be reduced to the tens of thousands, not only requires a reduction in net immigration from th

iain duncan smith pours cold water on it, i will get the quote, this is a new version of project fearhts. they should be planning for what happens if there is no deal, not scaring the pants off each other. we need people with imagination and courage, not frightened rabbits. but he would say that, wouldn't he? it begs the question if you don't like the evidence, canjust question if you don't like the evidence, can just pretend question if you don't like the evidence, canjust pretend it is not... that is not true? and are the people who are making these allegations about cornwall running out of food and petrol and having to bring medicine in from abroad and so on, ok, they are civil servants but where their loyalties lie on this and what are their own feelings about this question that we don't know and we never will. but once again, just as we had in the referendum vote... two completely contrasting opinions and alleged evidence about what may or may not happen. what do you think readers feel when they read these stories? because peoples feedback tends to be they are crying out for fact

amber rudd who was in four remain writing a piece with iain duncan smith, is that across the brexit remainty so you might see why she is fairly pro brexit. also a close ally of the prime minister. at the end of the date she relies on votes to get back, its constituents she needs to think about. i'm not sure it is as big a deal as they making out. i wonder if theresa may reads all the stories and thanks i will survive. she is humming it to herself as she reads these. isn't the substance, you start to read the story and you think it's great possibility. let's show you the front page of the observer which as i mentioned, not to muchjeremy corbyn coming into downing street if you vote the wrong way, but boris johnson. which do the tories fear most? there are odd stories because they are old—fashioned in the idea that the prime minister could fall and you either have an election or someone and you either have an election or someone taking over. in reality having another election is quite tricky because of the fixed—term parliaments act and who would replace theresa may is also not straight forw

create a picture of things working out and the national press is saying, you have left out iain duncan smith'smail this week. i do want to bring in suzanne in a moment. a very quick thought because the cabinet is divided. the british press said we would never get a stage one deal with the european union, and we got it before christmas. we got a stage two deal as well. why is the cabinet divided? no one will resign. these deals get done in the 11th hour, in the 59th minute of the 11th hour. iagree. i sat through deals at eu summit where deals get done at the 11th hour. so, one way we could look at the british government position is to say they are holding their cards close to their chest. they will have a stronger negotiation position and it will work out. we are two years on from brexit and their british cabinet and british prime minister still has not resolved internal issues in the cabinet. the eu is saying we cannot negotiate because we do not know what you want. we have the irony that david cameron held the referendum to resolve the eu issue and now two years on the conservative party is d

this is being dismissed as project fear, with no substance in these claims, iain duncan smith says that is no deal, scaring each other, but it is not far away, we don't seem to have hammered out any details on what it will do. another story in the observer that theresa may will not be delighted with. it says she should be replaced by michael gove! if you look at this advice, this man is a hedge fund manager and was a prominent brexiteer and apparently made a lot of money on the night of the brexit vote, because he bet that the markets would fall. despite being in favour of brexit he thought it would be very bad for the pound. so he made a killing. and now he is saying that theresa mayjust isn't cutting it. not hardline it's time to get a true believer like michael gove in the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone like that as a credible and authoritative source of advice and whatnot... so many people said that theresa may should be replaced with someone or other when people were not sure she could last days or weeks or mo
