jacob rees—mogg usually come out 0k in things but i don't think he will with this.le for survival. you're so used to seeing them but you don't really notice them any more, like house of fraser, these iconic british stores. they could shut up to 80 stores, it says. their shares fell 10% yesterday, and there's a suggestion they not be able to sell the chain. there is a source on the phone who says it is knackered and they are going to dump a lot of stores because they cannot afford them. asa stores because they cannot afford them. as a country, as the economy we haven't got to grips with how we look at retail and the cost of the high street versus the cost of buying online, that has not been resolved. when you lose if it happens, it stops people going into the town centre. it has a knock—on effect. for many market towns and cities especially in the north of england, debenhams is a important shop. what is important, and we have seen shop. what is important, and we have seen this with the fallout from bhs and the pension issues. this is so important to the workers and f

jacob rees—mogg backing his plan. this is not exactly shocking news. it would be news if...rexiteers want to lose the brexit. we also know who really wa nts to the brexit. we also know who really wants to get rid of chequers is jacob rees—mogg, so i'm not entirely surprised by this. the canada deal is not perfect in any way. this would be a looser trade deal than the vision which theresa may has set out in the chequers plan. it has been raised as an alternative by donald tusk, but it is a bad deal for britain. it's only some goods, it is good services which is the bulk of our economy. the canada deal it still took seven years to negotiate and almost fell apart at the last hurdle because bolton wa nted the last hurdle because bolton wanted to torpedo it and i keep saying it not resolved the northern ireland question even with boris johnson's magical thinking. our economy would suffer as a result of it. we're pushing it because it is clear of chequers brexiteers, but it does not have as many economic benefits as chequers —— clearer for chequers. in the canada file trade deal w

no, but there is fear that a jacob rees—mogg government might go in that direction, so in that senseing a lifeline to may would make sense, because it is the least worst. the practicalities are that, i think the european union and the individual states have left things to michel barnier with the assumption that, by about now, things would be in a very political, classic european union way, just fixed or fudged. there are some indications that that is happening, and i think some sort of deal is coming, but it is not just the trade disruption, it is the thing which will be on german minds and on french minds in terms of the stability of the eurozone, the potential for disruption because london runs the eurozone's debt markets. it is a global giant, so disrupting that, as the bank of england has pointed out, is not a terribly good idea. and also the security and intelligence situation is such that britain is, for better or worse, the leading security and intelligence power in europe and wants to continue co—operation and working together. i think about when we get to november, christmas

because i still think jacob rees—mogg cannot stand chequers.t all of the red lines that have been drawn there, it is impossible for the eu to accept this and still be the eu. and ireland cannot accept a hard border, all the irish politicians will get kicked out of office. all the things that put this into loggerheads remain, and so is the answer a leadership election here? is it a leadership election wherejeremy corbyn says, "my position is to have a second referendums," would that break the logjam ? i don't see this getting solved without some kind of political shift, within europe the fear of alt right will be enough, but i don't see that here. jacob rees—mogg, to remind viewers, is the man at the helm of the european research group and these are the people we have been talking about this week, iain, who have been making rumblings about leadership, whether they say it is or not. i think one thing that is guaranteed to provoke a real political explosion and bring the whole thing crashing down is the idea of trying to extend article 50 and brex

a conservative mp reveals that jacob rees—mogg is not the only mp whose children have found themselveswrong end of politics. the police rang me one day and said, "where's your son"? "well, i think he's at school." "can you check?" because there was a social media post claiming to be the execution of my son. and there's a warning of the dangerous lack of control at bedford prison. this is a prison with the highest rates of assaults in the country. the government's been urged to show some backbone as mps debated the dispute with france over scallop fishing. there were violent confrontations at the end of august as fishermen off the coast of northern france rammed boats, threw stones, and let off smoke bombs to try to force british boats out of the area. the scallop fishing grounds lie just beyond the french national waters, but within its economic territorial area. french rules ban their own boats from fishing for scallops between may to october to allow the shellfish to breed. but the rules don't apply to other countries. fishing stopped while talks took place to try to resolve the disp

jacob rees—mogg backing his plan. this is not exactly shocking news. it would be news if...rexit. we also know who really wants to get rid of chequers is jacob rees—mogg, so i'm not entirely surprised by this. the canada deal is not perfect in any way. this would be a looser trade deal than the vision which theresa may has set out in the chequers plan. it has been raised as an alternative by donald tusk, but it is a bad deal for britain. it's only some goods, it is good services which is the bulk of

people saying they really disagree with everything jacob rees—mogg has done and stand for.y make it a cce pta ble but that is not in any way make it acceptable to launch some sort of attack on his children. going to in these houses and shouting at them going in and of the houses is not this coming how this country supposed to work. of course everyone should have a protest, but not outside someone‘s home. that is obviously not the right way go about it. because this could live there, it. because this could live there, it just shows an it. because this could live there, itjust shows an appalling approach. it is also going to backfire completely. as they come down across the spectrum, the chairman of the labour party has nothing to do with this. he found jacob rees—mogg tonight to let him know that we are totally nothing to do with this and com pletely totally nothing to do with this and completely condemn this and to make sure he was all right. it makes the calls this guy and however many of them are our try to stick up for him it is not going to help. it makes them look terr

—mogg. they‘ re saying about jacob rees-mogg.risjohnson resigned, man everyone was talking about since boris johnson resigned, now man everyone was talking about since borisjohnson resigned, now he's trying to get some attention, but what a surprise, his erc european research group colleagues are struggling to unify about how they would do brexit. it's almost like these negotiations are difficult after all! by not having a plan they leave themselves constantly open to remarks from theresa may and downing street, how would you do it? and they can't answer. the truth is we reconsidered, he said. bizarre. i'm so surprised. they talked a good talk, they talked about hard brexit, they talked quite dramatically and when it comes to it, they haven't come up with a plan or an alternative they can all agree on. today we had the former brexit minister steve baker saying 80 mps would vote down the chequers deal. he is saying that, and then your core group of brexiters don't have a plan in place. it's completely illogicalfrom plan in place.

but brexiteers like jacob rees—mogg don't agree.th its shared rules and customs arrangements — means that brexit does not mean brexit. what we're going to be doing today is putting forward ideas to solve the difficulty on the irish border. last week, he unveiled an alternative plan for the border. the prime minister argues that one of the main arguments for the chequers plan is it is the only way to guarantee that there will not be a hard border in ireland. this is simply not true — you don't have to have a physical border infrastructure in ireland, and you can maintain the integrity of the single market by having checks away from the border. there is already a border in northern ireland for excise, for vat, for currency and for immigration. so, you're simply carrying on what with what you've already got but doing it remotely from the border, and remote border checks happen across the world. theresa may says a remote border, checks several miles away, is no alternative at all. you don't solve the issue of no hard border by having a

no surprise, over in the telegraph, that jacob rees—mogg, there. canada style arrangement, a much looser free—trade deal. for a canada style arrangement, a much looser free-trade deal. this is so much looser free-trade deal. this is so predictable i am not sure it cou nts so predictable i am not sure it counts as news. the daily telegraph, when it comes to brexit, i am not even sure it is a newspaper any more, rather than a propaganda sheet. jacob rees—mogg, a brexiteer, a classic example of man bites dog, dog bites man, he is backing boris johnson. this is not the ideal run—up toa johnson. this is not the ideal run—up to a conservative party conference for a prime minister who, you know, this is going to dominate what happens in birmingham, and she would be desperate to try to talk about domestic issues and get back on the front foot on that after quite a strong conference for labour, where jeremy quite a strong conference for labour, wherejeremy corbyn and john mcdonald kind of made up. yet she cannot escape the shackles of brexit until it is all

jacob rees—mogg, to remind viewers, is the man at the helm of the european research group, and these talking about this week, iain, who have been making rumblings about leadership, whether they say it is or not. i think one thing that is guaranteed to provoke a real political explosion and bring the whole thing crashing down is the idea of trying to extend article 50.. to say, "let's do this for another year, "it is too difficult". i don't think the politics of the tory party, the largest party in the uk, would sustain a delayed brexit. it has to happen in some form by march 2019, hopefully with some sort of transition period and a sensible deal. and that seems to be where they're getting to. in terms of something like ireland, well, it'll be fudged. the irish and the british have been fudging the irish border question, which is complex, since 1921. 1923, common travel agreement. we've always found ways round these difficulties. and there does seem to be the beginnings of an understanding and some of the capitals, that actually this is a particularly british—irish problem, which you

the guardian has an image of leave campaigners jacob rees—mogg, boris johnson and peter bone holdingor britain's eu exit. the paper also publishes a warning to theresa may about her brexit tactics which was made by the chief executive of carmarkerjaguar. farmers who protect the countryside will be first in line for post—brexit grants, according to the telegraph. (ani) the daily mail splashes with ‘obesity britain‘ as a un study —— the daily mail splashes with ‘obesity britain‘ as a un study finds that one in four british people is obese. and finally, the sun has gone with a more risque story about a man who has had some pioneering surgery. a wide variety of papers for us to discuss. we will start with the guardian. jaguar chief warns theresa may that thousands of jobs are at risk. this is a blistering attack from britain‘s biggest car manufacturer, isn‘t it? from britain‘s biggest car manufacturer, isn't it? that is if they reside brexit. that has been on they reside brexit. that has been on the cards over the summer, almost warning about no deal, but there are signs she could get th

all parties, that they have their say on this final deal rather than trusting politicians like jacob reesclearly have their own agenda. how would your paper look, you're referendum. lots of people say another binary ballot is going to result in the same arguments. they are going to be different arguments this time because we will know more about what brexit means. last time, they were saying you could have your cake and eat it, brexit could be anything you want, immigration control, friction free trade, we now know that is absolute rubbish. people would be better informed about what brexit means and have an argument for the first time, the first referendum on deal where people would be able to have that debate properly about what brexit means because it's the most important choice this country is going to make probably for 30 or a0 yea rs going to make probably for 30 or a0 years and is really important the people involved rather than just self—serving politicians like boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg where it's all about the leadership of the tory party. so you are a brimming? i am, but

an mp reveals that jacob rees mogg is not the only mp whose children have found themselves targeted byonents. police rang me one day and said, where is your son? i think he is at school. can you check, because there was a social media post claiming to be the execution of my son. there's a call from more to be done to protect england's historic battlefields. we should be creating national areas of natural historic importance that would recognise historical sites and their surroundings as areas that we wish, and need, to conserve for the future. but let's start with prime minister's questions, often a noisy affair and this was a particularly rowdy session. parliament has only been back from its summer break for a fortnight but mps and peers have now left westminster for three weeks for the annual autumn party conference season. this wasjeremy corbyn‘s last chance to scrutinise government policy for a while. he started with what sounded like a trick question. the national farmers‘ union, the federation of small businesses, the national audit office, the national housing federation, ginger

so is leading brexiteer jacob rees—mogg.he and i found we were in a considerable degree of agreement, that chequers is absolutely rubbish and we should chuck it and what we should have is a canada—style free—trade deal. i mean, he seemed to think that was the way forward and has published charts showing that. so, interestingly, eurosceptics and mr barnier are in greater agreement than eurosceptics and the government, or mr barnier and the government. it was very encouraging. in case you're counting — it's 207 days until brexit happens. and roughly two months from when a deal needs to be done. it will be needed to be signed off by all the national parliaments within the eu. but still the conservatives can't agree on what they should ask for — let alone asking for something the eu agrees to. this is helpful from laura kuennsberg. here's ben wright in westminster. i feel like we have talked about this before, the tories are not agreeing that they have got to agree soon because the deadline is coming up soon because the deadline

jacob rees—mogg leads that wing. —— there is.to happen. i understand the sentiment and i do believe this wing is behaving like political jihadis. believe this wing is behaving like politicaljihadis. they are concerned about and no deal. ——a no deal. i think it will be our face eating fudge over this negotiation. something vaguely based on chequers. something vaguely based on chequers. something offered back in march when they were talking about a free trade agreement. they actually offered it. i think there will be a saving fudge. the chancellor did announce this week that they are going to bring gas budget —— bring the budget forward. this says to me they are looking for a deal in november. the daily telegraph. gp appointments are being wasted at the weekend. we struggle for these appointments. the weekend options are not being used up. we all know how hard it is to get a doctor ‘s surgery appointment these days. one in four are not being used. you think there is an old serial —— —— ulterior motive? being used. you think there i

if you have said, tonight, we have heard from jacob rees—mogg in brussels, accusing number ten of runningd intriguingly, mr rees mogg has said that in selfie michel barnier, the chief negotiator, i'd read about chequers. listen to this. mr barnier was, as you would expect, extraordinarily charming and well—informed. and he and i found we were in a considerable degree of agreement, that chequers is absolutely rubbish and we should chuck it and what we should have is a canada—style free—trade deal. i mean, he seemed to think that was the way forward and has published charts showing that. so, interestingly, eurosceptics and mr barnier are in greater agreement than eurosceptics and the government, or mr barnier and the government. it was very encouraging. to compound theresa may's difficulties, it is notjust brexiteers and mr barnier who are seemingly unenthused about chequers, there are a growing number of former tory remainers who are equally unconvinced by chequers and the signs are that the labour party will also vote against it, including labour party remainers who mrs may might have bee

it's a striking picture of boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg with their heads in their hands.ve seen borisjohnson with his head in his hands quite a lot this week for various reasons but as steve says, it will be iconic because the serious point is these people haven't had a serious plan. theresa may came up with the check is planned in july theresa may came up with the check is planned injuly but they haven't come up with anything and in comparison to michael gove who has coherent policy it looked shambolic. i think they are rattled by michel barnier this week saying we could have a deal by november. they were hoping for a no deal so they could extra ct hoping for a no deal so they could extract the hard brexit. there was a press conference in the bowels of the commons and there has been a lot of bickering from some people who weren't there and some who said we need a proper press conference but this was amateurish. you remember vote leave and dominic cummings who was central to that campaign, they are not involved now. i suppose it's possible they were captured at a slightly

the independent has an image of leave campaigners jacob rees—mogg, boris johnson and peter bone holdingn's eu exit. the online paper also warns of an unfolding national emergency caused by nhs staff vacancies. farmers who protect the countryside will be first in line for post—brexit grants, according to the telegraph. and the guardian publishes a warning to theresa may about her brexit tactics made by the chief executive of carmarkerjaguar. soa so a real variety of papers to chew over. shall we start with the daily telegraph? one brexit line amongst many it's fair to say. jane, the headline greenest farmers first in line for grants and presumably these are the farmers who protect the countryside. yes, this is michael gove announcing an agriculture bill. it's interesting that so much of wrecks it seems chaotic and michael gove is presenting this discreet will on farming. one of the things i think even the anti—brexit people have accepted for a long time, that the common agriculture policy was broken so his policy is that instead of chp payments... common agricultural policy payments goin

david davis has obviously been in cahoots with jacob rees—mogg, who has had a conversation with michelarnier to discuss the whole chequers thing as being absolute rubbish. i think it is race out of a negotiator comes out and says something like that, so what is coming up and putting on the table is to say that you go by the world trade organization and then possibly to a canadian, norwegian style deal. there is only possible alternative is right now. you have david davis was about to come out and suggest his alternative, it have others suggesting a second referendum. there are many, many alternatives. and no time. there is no time at all. knows. dominic raab, the current brexit secretary, has got to negotiate what the uk's position is. i think have got to talk about lord who has come into the debate recently and made some comments about how very upset he is. one comment he did make and i agree with him, the fact that dominic raab at the very last moment decided no brexit was on the table for discussion... he is a brexit supporter, and just for instancy sounds a bit like you, so frustra

completely but the document drawn up byjacob rees—mogg completely but the document drawn up by jacob reesawn up byjacob rees—mogg is, european research group, has been postponed. i want to move on and don't worry, there is plenty of opportunity to talk about brexit! it is the front page of the independent as well. while all of this is going on in the uk, apparently within the eu they came up with an option that would solve, be an answer to the question of the northern ireland border. and according to this exclusive, it was dismissed out of hand by uk cabinet ministers. who knows. who knows. who knows what the up cake but reform eu ‘s suggestions was and what the reaction was that the problem is what every other day we have one story saying "0h what every other day we have one story saying "oh dear, the talks are falling apart and michel barnier hates the deal" and then we have "it is possible to have a perth deal" and then we have "if you pay your £39 billion we can have an agreement on trade agreement" and the next thing you see talks collapse. can you make of all this? as michel barnier

you didn't mention jacob rees—mogg. jostling for the succession. you didn't mentionjacob rees—mogg. isn't a cabinet minister, but he is going to say something. he gets a free pass because he is a lova ble gets a free pass because he is a lovable eccentric and people will just report that straight, as to do with brexit. and also, actually, people don't take on seriously as a leadership contender, i suspect, because he is not in the cabinet. leadership contender, i suspect, because he is not in the cabinetlj because he is not in the cabinet.|j think they are absolutely taken seriously as a leadership contender. well, the bookies do. we will undoubtedly see an awful lot on that. let's look at the telegraph front page. matt cartoon. after brexit, only highly skilled russian assassins will be allowed into the uk. joke? a little bit tasteless?‘ woman uk. joke? a little bit tasteless7. woman did die as a result of this. the way britain has responded to the bizarre absurdist accounts we have had from russia, they came to see a cathedral and now it turns out he is a decorated russia war hero

jacob rees mogg is quoted in this article. he'll be expressing... he says nothing new.om laden forecast which is more political than economic. until we finally leave, that is the point. the salzburg meeting is a key one. the salzburg meeting is a key one. the big one is in november, the special meeting, after that a vote in parliament and maybe the government. on that bombshell, let's move government. on that bombshell, let's m ove o nto government. on that bombshell, let's move onto your paper. one in five britons harmed by internet. in what way? sharon white, the chief executive of ofcom, which is the regulator for broadcasters, including the bbc. well... a bit. her concern, reflected by 12 million britons, one in five of us, a lot of children and young people watch tv ona children and young people watch tv on a tablet or a phone and they don't differentiate between the bbc, itv, sky, the regulated and unregulated bids, it is all the same to them, coming at them. sharon white, i've never met a regulator who once less power but she wants to expand her agreement to incl

and then there‘s jacob rees—mogg. and he has expressed it so nicely, because he has decided to base his new investment fund in the eurozone. the tory brexiteers unite the politics of the 19 50s with the economics of the 19th—century. daydreaming economics of the 19th—century. dayd reaming about a economics of the 19th—century. daydreaming about a britain that both rules the waves, and waives the rules. applause labour‘sjob is applause labour‘s job is now applause labour‘sjob is now to applause labour‘s job is now to win support for a deal that meets the needs of the country, combined with our planned rebuild and transformed with investment in our people and our economy. our priority is clear — we aim to get the best brexit deal for jobs and living standards to underpin our plans, to upgrade our economy and interest in every community and every region. that will bring people together and meet concerns of both those who voted leave and those who voted remain. conference, the way ahead is clear. we will vote against any r

jacob rees—mogg, if i may, you are obviously very proud of this 19 page document.es document. was it wise of your colleagues last night to be putting this in the direction of talking about theresa may, when all your group can do is pose an empty threat to theresa may, but not a real threat, because you don't have the numbers to dislodge her?” threat, because you don't have the numbers to dislodge her? i will ask david davis to come in first. in march of this year, donald tusk said we are very happy to have a free—trade agreement. yes, my view, it is no secret that my view is the best option is free—trade plus. rather than calling it canada plus plus, it would be originating a whole series of different trade agreements that the union already has. this would make that work. that is the point. as we get the high—pressure part of the negotiation, through salzburg, october, november, and we are now talking about going into november, i think we will see a change of step. it is down to the negotiators actually doing it, down to dominic raab and theresa may to do it. this

seeing playing out involving the children ofjacob rees—mogg playing out involving the children of jacob reesis hard to defend a social media but involving a politician's children, there has been unanimous condemnation on all sides at westminster of that kind of behaviour. what was striking was mr rees—mogg stayed and he listened and did not disappear. the biggest critics of mr rees—mogg and that because he is outspoken, they will a lwa ys because he is outspoken, they will always acknowledge that he is incredibly polite, incredibly conscious of dealing with people fairly. now, he was quite magnanimous in his response publicly after what happened. but across the piece, at weston—super—mare people have condemned it and i do think it is an exception, but it is illustrative of the angry and noisy and vicious political climate we are operating in —— across the piece, government has condemned it. there is never an government has condemned it. there is never an excuse government has condemned it. there is never an excuse for people's children to be brought into a situation like that, it is very dam

among them was the chair of the committee, hilary benn, and the prominent brexiteer, jacob rees—mogg. would expect, extraordinarily charming and well—informed. and he and i found we were in a considerable degree of agreement, that chequers is absolutely rubbish and we should chuck it and what we should have is a canada—style free—trade deal. i mean, he seemed to think that was the way forward and has published charts showing that. so, interestingly, eurosceptics and mr barnier are in greater agreement than eurosceptics and the government, or mr barnier and the government. it was very encouraging. it is very clear from the reported remarks of michel barnier in the german newspapers this morning that the government's proposal for the facilitated customs arrangement and the common rule book are not acceptable to the european union and it is clear, therefore, that what is on offer is either a deal like canada, which would not give us what we need, or, my view is, remaining in a customs union with the european union. hilary benn, the chair of the european select committee. we can talk to k

david davis, jacob rees mott.oes give freedom on trade deals and takes us further away. he struck to get over the irish issue —— you still have to get over. the canada style deal took seven yea rs. get over. the canada style deal took seven years. is it seven months or seven years. is it seven months or seven years? and i think we are talking about a two—year transition. but we are in a different position, clearly. i suppose. 0h, but we are in a different position, clearly. i suppose. oh, no, we are starting, staying on the telegraph actually. the return of rates. starting, staying on the telegraph actually. the return of rateslj forgot to say, i apologise to all my readers who actually have places, homes in places like cornwall. basically whatjeremy homes in places like cornwall. basically what jeremy coren apparently is saying is promising to announce a levy of topping holiday homes, using that money to a currently paid to help families with children living in temporary accommodation, of whom there are largely m

describes — some of its most senior figures described her own plan as, borisjohnson, "a suicide vest", jacob reesot in those circumstances credibly continue to lead the party and adopt a party which she cannot believe in. have you looked at some of the things which members of the labour party have said about jeremy corbyn? mo one would suggest that he cannot continue to lead the labour party because of disparaging things said about him. what i am saying is that despite the fact that people are disagreeing with their proposal, even if it does not command a majority in the house of commons, and it might when the time comes, it does not mean that she has to go, that is my view. and just one more speculative question, and then we'll move on to other things. if that scenario plays out but also there is no parliamentary majority for a canada plus plan, which you want, and it seems at the moment there would not be, and there is no parliamentary approvalfor a brexit, it seems to me there are two options, either a general election — or as the labour party has now semi— committed itself to there is the ver

he says he will side with hardline brexiteers like jacob rees mogg in order to try to bring down theresa thinkjohn mcdonnell is, as well, despite what we have heard from tom watson, i am sure there is a general view among the parliamentary labour party that they would like to go for some sort of negotiated solution but they sense red meat and want to go for a general election. remember, jeremy corbyn, even less thanjohn mcdonnell, doesn't really care all that much, historically, about the eu. very old—fashioned, you know, when we were really hard left, it was just a capitalist club, the equivalent of a multinational of the 19th century villains, that kind of attitude, so it is really almost incidental and could be catalysed but only brought in to help his main aim, his and john mcdonnell‘s main aim. it is difficult to see from the european research group, hardline brexiteers wanting to bring down theresa may if they think there is a risk ofjeremy corbyn getting in? exactly, it is all very well saying that thatjeremy exactly, it is all very well saying that that jeremy corbyn would side w

encouraging and want to see some sort of deal emerge but the problem is something that satisfies jacob reesavis, boris johnson, one male simile want a hard brexit at the same time as enabling hasan ali economy to have access to european partners and economy. and just in the way we do now. what sort of question would you ask in a second referendum if it's not about stopping brexit in the entirety? this is ultimately the decision of the parliament but i think it should be between the deal the government can produce if it is able to do so and remaining within the european union. we have come to a deal with the european union and it should be between no deal and that but it should be a 2—part question. between no deal and that but it should be a 2-part question. that that would not be brexit, if we have no deal or we don't like the deal, we stay in? i disagree. when it comes to no deal i don't think there's any constituency pushing for there's any constituency pushing for the type of damage at no deal would deliver but i would suggest that in terms of what no deal means there would be hundreds

i think boris johnson missed the memo about party unity, the way he has been manoeuvring, jacob reesont of the party. i do expect fireworks next week. the labour conference will be tricky but it will pale insignificance next to the tory shenanigans of next week. while you mention labour, james, on the ft we are looking at labour riskeds on show. they have their conference in liverpool and there has been all sorts of confusion about the position is on brexit. i may criticise the tories, but i equally criticise the tories, but i equally criticise labour, and equal opportunities protect. i feel criticise labour, and equal opportunities protect. ifeel labour have messed up badly. it is as though have messed up badly. it is as thoutheremy have messed up badly. it is as though jeremy corbyn have messed up badly. it is as thoutheremy corbyn has a an open goal with the government and he has run up to take a shot and he has tripped over a fallen flat in the mud. he has completely missed this chance to soar ahead in the polls because his party, like the tories, kennett decided that the best wa

jacob rees—mogg and others are gearing up to put forward an alternative to the plan forged at chequersion from tory remainders, who wa nt opposition from tory remainders, who want a closer relationship with the eu. we have been negotiating that long term free trade agreement along the lines of canada. we are not going to be able to get to nirvana in one step. the prime minister has one plan for a transition which is much worse than my plan. the government insists its brexit strategy is precise and pragmatic, but opposition is mounting in tory ra nks but opposition is mounting in tory ranks and that is before the prime minister even tries to get her plans passed parliament. a national campaign pushing for a people‘s vote ona campaign pushing for a people‘s vote on a final brexit deal has been gathering cross—party support from some mps. labour doesn‘t support a second referendum, and says theresa may‘s chequers plan is finished. second referendum, and says theresa may's chequers plan is finishedlj think may's chequers plan is finished.” think the conservatives will fall apart. i don‘t t

in broad terms, and the chairman of that group who gathered in parliament, to put for that plan, jacob reesstrategy. the plan is we should negotiate what is now being offered by the eu and was offered by an earlier stage which is leading on a world trade basis is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in the key to negotiating strength it is to know that the alternative is something that the alternative is something thatis that the alternative is something that is good rather than bad so once you've established that you can negotiate with much better confidence. the government wasn't having any of that. they have of course consistently criticised those two are saying the government should abandon the chequers agreement are not coming up their own plan. we did have some details from the critics of chequers today but those were immediately criticised by the government. here is the chancellor philip hammond —— philip hammond responding. i'm sure his model is very effective but the assumption is that he makes are wildly out of line with assumptions that are used by other economic models and frankly

italy has been backed by jacob rees mogg who for britain. well informed and we found we were in a degree of agreement that chequers is rubbish and we should throw it and have a canada style free trade deal. prominent supporters of labour leaderjeremy corbyn have been elected to the national executive committee. they include peter willsman who claimed trump fanatics we re willsman who claimed trump fanatics were behind actions of anti—semitism in the party. and the heat wave in england makes the records. the met office confirmed it was the hottest ever and 2018 was the joint hottest summer on record ever and 2018 was the joint hottest summer on record for the uk as a whole. in a moment it will be time for sports day but let's look at what else is coming up. but 7pm we will be discussing the novel methods that governments around the world are adopting to raise their birth rates. at 815 we will be talking about chris

westminster after a video appeared on facebook of protesters shouting at the children of conservative jacob rees class war group shows a man telling one of the mp's children, "your daddy is a horrible person." in the commons, another conservative told mps what had happened to him. i've had threats to my former wife, to our children, and the thing that i'm now prepared to say, which i wasn't a few years ago, is that my son, who was then about 12, the police rang me one day and said, "where is your son?" "well, i think he's at school." "can you check?" because there was a social media post claiming to be the execution of my son, and obviously we did not bring that to the attention of people at the time. but things have got worse and worse, and i doubt if there's a single member in this house who hasn't had something like that. controversy is never far away from boris johnson. shortly after he resigned from the government injuly, he took up a newjob, writing articles for the daily telegraph. is that a crime? well, no, but it seems he should have notified a panel set up to vet what former ministers

the issue is with him and jacob rees—mogg, they have to come out with a plan and at the moment they realiseber ten cut attack them. strategically it works for them. eventually they have to say what it is they want to do in opposition to theresa may's chequers plan which is less appealing than the poll tax. justine greening said that today and she's coming from the other side of the argument. she wrote for the telegraph as well and she says theresa may is like king knutt, so we have this extraordinary scenario where remainers now agree with brexiteers that checkers is a dud, a dead duck, and we have the polls which show it is going down in marginal constituencies —— king cnut. more than half of voters are opposed to chequers and they think it is doubtful britain. she is getting attacked on all sides, from the eu, brexiteers and remainers and she hopes there is enough moderate mps to back are to continue —— back to continue to push plan. as you both mention the conservative party will be very interesting. can't wait. as will the labour party. activists voted on to labour ruling body. peter wi

interesting thing this week will not so much be the noises from the likes of boris johnson and jacob reeshink and what they are going to say. more interesting are the people around mrs may still in cabinet, people like sajid javid, jeremy hunt. what to watch with them is if they miraculously don't start talking about chequers at all, if it becomes about chequers at all, if it becomes a word they cannot mention and they drop it from conversation and whether they begin to try and create a bit of space for mrs may to start shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy shuffling away from it. we already know that jeremy hunt shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy hunt in our interview before the conference did not rule out the possibility of a canada not rule out the possibility of a ca na da style not rule out the possibility of a canada style trade deal. what is interesting if you get more members of the cabinet beginning to give house room to an alternative to chequers, then you can begin to see them trying to shuffle mrs may away from this unbending commitment to chequers

the chuck chequers is the wonder is jacob rees—mogg, the european research group.tory conference? clearly, this will be worrying number 10, surprising number10? i be worrying number 10, surprising number 10? i don't think so. let's turn independent. it looks according to the exclusive as though the eu came up with a possible answer to the question of what to do about the northern ireland border only for it to be rejected out of hand which makes you think, what hope is there any kind of compromise deal being done? wejust any kind of compromise deal being done? we just don't know what the compromise was from the european union. the original backstop was to keep northern ireland within the customs union and the single market and have a division down the irish sea, which is unacceptable to the british government. but the trouble is, day by day we get conflicting bits of advice coming in and out of brussels. one minute michel barnier says, we can do a deal and the next minute he says, it is rubbish. next minute he says, it is rubbish. next minute the talks are back on t

they are not going to walk through the voting lobbies with people like jacob rees mogg.ill do everything we possibly can to avoid a no deal, of course we will. but we are putting the message out very clearly to the prime minister, unless you bring back something that will protectjobs and the economy, there is no way, it is not just the labour the economy, there is no way, it is notjust the labour party, i cannot see parliament overall voting for it. on that basis, wouldn't it be better to move to one side and let us better to move to one side and let us get on with the negotiations? failing that, having a general election. in regard to a people's old, we have left all the options on the table. but my preference is a general election. but obviously, you cannot choose to have a general election. you know the reality of that. do you feel a second referendum, a so—called people's vote on the terms of any deal could be the way forward? the best option i think is a general election but we will keep all the options on the table. and of course what we will try to do in the inter

the trouble is, for my mind, jacob rees—mogg‘s proposal is completely crazy.orried about it, it is an appalling consequence and i can‘t think of any government in peace time that has deliberately set out to deliver to the british people a reduction in their living standards. but that is one of the consequences thatis but that is one of the consequences that is now flowing from brexit if we can‘t get the right outcome. that is now flowing from brexit if we can't get the right outcomem terms of the right outcome, what would that look like? there are a number of possibilities. one is that the prime minister succeed in persuading our eu partners to give as the exceptional deal she has been talking about which i‘m afraid i think is quite unlikely or the alternative is she has to go back to the british public and explain to them what the realities are which we re them what the realities are which were not around two years ago, and ask them what they want to do. do they want a jacob rees—mogg style brexit of the kind the imf characterises as being economically disast
