in the telegraph, an intervention by jacob rees to be brexit. an intervention byjacob rees mogg. jacob rees mogg saying the prime minister will not concede too much to the eu. he is saying this in an exclusive article he has written in the telegraph but of course saying it to those leave supporters who might bea it to those leave supporters who might be a little bit cautious of any deal that boris johnson might be a little bit cautious of any deal that borisjohnson comes back with. he is a eurosceptic and a prominent member of the e06 is saying, don't worry, i believe the prime minister will not concede too much so therefore you can trust the prime minister... this ridiculous man, from the 18th century, has become the great hope of the ordinary people of this country. how do they even believe in this fictional character! it is extraordinary, what has he ever done? he says is a leader boris can be trusted. as this prominent leave supporter, he is opening the general public are not reading the detail of every aspect... this must be the downton abbe

but it is the article by jacob rees—mogg on the front of the telegraph that we will start with.no jacob rees—mogg, who has been part of the erg and pretty in —— uncompromising, he has written a piece for the telegraph and he has become very conciliatory at the moment, which is interesting and surprising. did you not find that the tone is different? we must compromise, we must allow him to do this, this is the best deal. i think what this is all about is trying to position the prime minister's deal in the eyes of the public, because most people out there, most people at home, won't be awaiting the details of the deal, and reading it very closely and making notes on it, instead, they will be taking their cues from political leaders, from journalists, from people that they trust. having someone from people that they trust. having someone like jacob rees—mogg, so hesitant and subsequently so against supporting theresa may's deal, as more details came out... he was allowed to get her, my god. from the beginning, before the details even became clear, he said he wasn't sure about this,

the cabinet minister, jacob rees—mogg, has said the prospects of a deal with the eu are more positive rees—mogg said the prime minister could be trusted to "deliver" and the cabinet would be briefed on the state of the brexit negotiations later today. labour has warned the government's plans would be damaging to the economy and urged mps not to back any deal brought back from brussels, even if there was a confirmatory referendum. our political correspondent, peter saull, said this was the start of an important week for brexit. those intense negotiations are continuing in brussels on an official level. borisjohnson has a couple of phone conversations in the diary for the next couple of days with the likes of the german chancellor angela merkel and the french president emmanuel macron and he will be holding a conference call to update cabinet ministers around about lunchtime today. we are told the message from downing street is yes, the mood music is certainly a little bit more positive than it was a few days ago, but let's not get carried away, there are still some quite big difference

and jacob rees—mogg says this in the sunday telegraph, that as a lever, boris can be trusted.t different from theresa may's but borisjohnson brings some trust with leavers to get it through. and the mail on sunday, entered the tory brexit wreckers. when we thought that nightmare would end, what do you make of this take? this is from all angles. this momentous week in politics has been looked at now. this story that the tory rebels are planning to sabotage borisjohnson's brexit, even if the eu backed the deal, they are saying that they determined that it would not get through parliament and they want the benn act enabled, even if the deal is agreed, they want more time to look at it. and more time to consider it. they are plotting to compel mrjohnson to send a letter to brussels to ask for an extension. and this relates to the language surrounding brexit, the plot, and the militaristic language? and all of the gymnastics everyone gets into, and all of the ideologicals. philip hammond voted to leave the eu three times. by all reasonable accounts, he is supportive of brexit and h

i have heard jacob rees—mogg referring today to the 3ist rees—mogg referring today to the 31st of octoberside by the benn act, and what they have to be legislation that moves that date? benn act, and what they have to be legislation that moves that date7m is not set aside explicitly by the benn act until an agreement is reached with the european union to set the terms of a delay. now, when that delay would run it until. the government says it does not want a delay and it wants to carry on making the argument that the deadline can be met of a week on thursday and i think what we are going to get from the government and the european union for at least the next week is a public expression of a desire to get this sorted by a week on thursday and, if necessary, at the very last minute, perhaps even on the day itself, the 31st, an agreement at an international level between the european union and the ukfor between the european union and the uk for some sort of delay, if that is deemed necessary at that time, at which point it would be necessary for the law is to be tweaked here to make sure tha

the cabinet minister, jacob rees—mogg, has said the prospects of a deal with the eu are more positiveere a week ago. mr rees—mogg said the prime minister could be trusted to "deliver", and the cabinet would be briefed on the state of the brexit negotiations later today. labour has warned the government's plans would be incredibly damaging to the economy, and urged mps not to back any deal brought back from brussels, even if there was a confirmatory referendum. 0ur political correspondent peter saull is with me in the studio. first of all, what is the latest on the negotiations? we prop you don't know what the latest is but the cabinet are going to be briefed on then we gather today. that's right, we are at the start of a huge week for brexit, those intense negotiations are continuing in brussels, on an official level. borisjohnson has brussels, on an official level. boris johnson has had brussels, on an official level. borisjohnson has had a couple of phone conversations and has some with the french and german chancellor, and he will be holding a conference call to update cabinet mini

that was jacob rees mogg.ve been getting some reaction to that announcement from boris johnson. the leader of the scottish national party, nicola sturgeon, and the first minister of scotland, tweeting. .. that is what nicola sturgeon thinks. let's get the thoughts of our chief political correspondent vicky young. nicola sturgeon doesn't like it. what about the other opposition parties? yes, the snp have said that they won't vote for an election and boris johnson's terms. they won't vote for an election and borisjohnson's terms. the way they see it, this is borisjohnson saying, give me the brexit i want, with my deal, and then give me the general election that i want. and i just think, probably, they will not go for that. we haven't heard from labour yet, but i think again it would be quite difficult for them to vote for it in this way. that speaks of the liberal democrats' sir ed davey, who was with me now. you have previously said you want a general election, but you will not vote for it? let's remember what

the metro leads on comments by arch—brexiteer jacob rees—mogg.ays eurosceptics like him might need to compromise to help the prime minister get a deal through. the daily telegraph says brussels has asked the uk for further concessions before a deal can be agreed. the times has that same story on the brexit negotiations — that the eu says london must give ground. the paper also says there are calls for frequent flyer schemes to be banned to help cut carbon emissions. tomorrow's guardian says the prime minister plans to thrust law and order centre stage when he lays out his legislative plans in the queen's speech. and with more on tomorrow's queen's speech, the daily mail says borisjohnson is to announce a crackdown on foreign criminals and child abusers. also on the paper's front page is a picture of the duchess of cambridge, who is about to embark on a tour of pakistan with her husband. and the daily express is also leading on what it says will be borisjohnson‘s proposed "blitz on crooks. last up, the daily mirror has the story of bereaved mother

that is the message from jacob rees—mogg this morning in the sunday telegraph. morning to trust borisjohnson, he is a lever himself, he has our best interests at heart. the government has one eye also on what potentially might happen in parliament. it appears at the moment if boris johnson were to get a deal, you might be able to have a fragile majority to get that through parliament. clearly, though, if there are concessions, that might annoy some of the different factions, the democratic unionists have also warned overnight they are concerned about a potential compromise on customs concerned about a potential compromise on customs on concerned about a potential compromise on customs on the island of ireland so as ever a delicate balancing act for the prime minister. strap yourselves in for a massive week for brexit, starting with a green speech, the state 0pening with a green speech, the state opening of parliament tomorrow, borisjohnson has also got phone calls lined up with the leaders of france, germany, jean—claude juncker as well. he finally tries to get

now some breaking news, the comments have approved a motion proposed by the leader of the commons jacob reesr the mps have agreed to those arrangements. which should begin later on tonight the comments will reset next monday, all this of course in preparation for the state opening of parliament and the queen's speech. so the commons has agreed that there will be an adjournment and progression will ta ke adjournment and progression will take place later tonight with the commons resetting again next monday. all this in preparation for the queen's speech. time for a look at the weather news now the weather at the moment is capable of changing several times during the date from sunshine to showers and back again. that will continue for some time longer in the uk. going through tonight the showers are towards the western side of the uk but some moving back across south wales and the south of england later in the night. temperatures for many just dipping down into single figures and it stays quite blustery. tomorrow some early showers, south wales and southern england, heavy and sundry in places.

the government wants it on monday after the vote this afternoon, jacob rees—mogg stood up and announcedgovernment would put a similar motion again in effect, and other meaningful vote to try going to get mps stamp of approval on the prime minister ‘s dale. whether that happens or not is down to the speaker and it is fair to say that he was not particularly impressed with how that next meaningful vote was proposed. a lot of mps raised questions about whether it would be able to be amended or not and whether that had been enough time between the vote today which in the end did not happen and that proposed a vote on monday. it is not a given, but certainly the government wants to go ahead and give mps another chance to rubber—stamp the prime minister's deal. that could be amended as well potentially and we could see another scenario whereby a similar amendment to that of oliver letwi n similar amendment to that of oliver letwin ‘s and various other members are put forward to endanger that vote on the deal. certainly the government wants it on monday. the prime minster says he is not negoti

the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees—mogg, has warned brexit supporters the government willses to get a deal. his comments in the sunday telegraph come as a downing street source suggests the uk is still a long way from agreeing a deal with brussels, and talks remain critical. borisjohnson is due to meet the leaders of france and germany in the coming days to try to secure support. kurds under attack from turkey in northern syria say they will no longer prioritise guarding detainees from the islamic state group if the offensive continues. since hostilities began on wednesday, nearly 50 civilians are thought to have died and more than 100,000 people have fled their homes. the uk has called on turkey to end its military operation in the area. rescue teams are trying to reach two workers trapped in the wreckage of a building under construction in new orleans. at least one person died and 18 others were injured when part of the new hard rock hotel collapsed. officials say the building remains unstable and further collapse is possible. victorian priest and poet cardinaljohn henry

jacob rees mogg was with his son.he found it terrifying and thanked the police. but another sign of how tempers have been raised at westminster and how high the tension is and the debate and the protest on either side aren't going to go away. let's talk about what's happened today, let's take a step back from it. the amendment so oliver letwin put down was supposed to create enough space for a proper discussion about the withdrawal agreement bill, the legislation which accompanies the legislation which accompanies the bill. he was worried that if you tried to rush that in the course of two weeks you might reopen the prospect of "no deal". that's right. the aim of the amendment, put forward by sir oliver letwin, was to ensure that the legislation to enact the brexit deal, put it into law technically, not just the brexit deal, put it into law technically, notjust giving it the rubber—stamp, had a properairing. and was not able to fall any particular hurdle. meaning the deal, there were approved by parliament, would it b

jacob rees—mogg was speaking during a phonein rees—mogg was speaking during a phone in on lbc with presenters listeners and callers have probably had enough of talking about brexit and they want to talk about other things that we may do when we discuss the queen's speech. we have been doing this for three and a half years, we cannot do this forever. we are near a conclusion. once something has been agreed, parliament can legislate quickly. if the meaningful vote goes through, the meaningful vote goes through, the legislation will merely be the ramification in domestic law of the treaty, and that is a relatively easy bill to pass. —— ratification. isn't that if, the size of texas, if parliament can agree something and act quickly, that is the big one. but i think the votes are now they are deal. do you think that? yes. we are deal. do you think that? yes. we are hearing in the last few minutes about the arrest of one of the co—founders of the extinction rebellion group. extinction rebellion group. extinction rebellion activists are targeting the department for transport, calling on it to stop

brexit is in purgatory, roars the telegraph quoting jacob rees—mogg, the leader of the house, followingse votes by mps. mps have ruined hopes of leaving the eu by the end of the month by their "dithering", so says the express. the metro says that after hitting the pause button on his brexit legislation, the prime minister will now ask the eu how it wants to proceed. as mps reject borisjohnson‘s brexit deadline, the european council president, donald tusk, suggested he would recommend a delay. that's in the guardian. and, the mirror says the prime minister doesn't have a "ghost of a chance" of getting brexit done by halloween, after tonight's votes. so, brexit unsurprisingly dominating most of the front pages — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. fantastic photo, really sets the scene. looks like a renaissance art there, absolutely crowned with mps and they report their work in westminster, days like this are absolutely amazing apartment. if people there that are exciting, no nail—biting votes and seeing whether 01’ nail—biting votes and seeing whether or not it would go through

jacob rees—mogg thought that unfair.urable friend the prime minister wasn't appearing in front of this house enough. that he was macavity. well, it is a rather odd version of it. my honourable friend, in the ten sitting days since he has been prime minister, has spent 494 minutes in front of this house. that didn't convince the snp. i think it is disappointing that prorogation is going ahead before the prime minister's questions next week. i was reflecting with my friend here that we think the right honourable member from maidenhead, the former prime minister, has spent more time in the backbenches at pmqs since july, than her successor has at the despatch box, given his absence last week. patrick grady. now as you may have noticed, the speaker, john bercow, sounded a little hoarse during the day's debates. mps were keen to offer assistance. thank you, mr speaker. and i do have a supply of throat sweets should you need them. but i admire your stoicism indeed. the speaker is clearly suffering from his voice. and he does p

jacob rees mogg. well, while brexit dominated the week, there was plenty more going on.rthern ireland assembly returned to stormont in a last—ditch attempt to stop legislation passed in westminster to liberalise abortion laws from coming into force. bbc news ireland correspondent chris page takes up the story. well, northern ireland has been without a devolved government for more than 1,000 days now. the power—sharing administration made up of the democratic unionist party and sinn fein collapsed back in january of 2017. and despite several rounds of negotiations, it still hasn't been restored. so, on monday, the stormont assembly sat for the first time in two and a half years, it was triggered by a recall petition signed by members of the dup and politicians from two other unionist parties, and they wanted to debate a piece of legislation, a private member's bill which would block the change in northern ireland's abortion regime, which was coming about as a result of legislation passed in westminster injuly. but things in the assembly chamber didn't actually get that fa

but we saw the harassment of jacob rees this particular poll.ent to parliament oi'i his son when they went to parliament on saturday. that public anger has somehow become acceptable to certainly shout at your mps, which isa certainly shout at your mps, which is a form of verbal abuse, some would say. the other thing this poll says, as well as the violence, they asked questions on the break—up of the uk. a majority, this astounded me, a majority of respondents in england, wales, and scotland all said that they thought brexit would lead to the break—up of the uk. and a high majority of leave voters said it was a price worth paying. the idea that this will be sorted, that we will establish a new relationship with the eu, then everything will go back to normal, i think this is actually more concerning. let us move with that thought away from brexit and go to some of the other stories. this horrific story about essex and the 39 people found dead in the back of the refrigerated lorry. it turns out they were chinese nationals. the mirror have said that

brexit is in purgatory, roars the telegraph, quoting jacob rees—mogg, the leader of the house, followinges by mps. "yeah but no but." that's the headline in the sun as the government both wins and loses those two votes in quick succession. the daily mail celebrates boris johnson's victory in the vote on his deal, but says mps turned triumph into disaster by forcing him to put it on hold. the metro says that, after hitting the pause button on his brexit legislation, the prime minister will now ask the eu how it wants to proceed. as mps reject boris johnson's brexit deadline, the european council president, donald tusk, suggested he would recommend a delay. that's in the guardian. the prime minister's do—or—die pledge to deliver brexit by halloween is in tatters — so says the i, which cites a number 10 source as saying an election is the only way forward. and a different story in the times. it reports on a new drug for alzheimer's disease which, it says, doctors are welcoming as a "turning point" in the treatment of the condition. so, brexit unsurprisingly dominating most of the front page

but even that failed to ruin jacob rees—mogg's appetite.e gentleman asked me if at any point i would have to eat my words and i have to say that this deal is a rosini of the deal, it is a deal that one can eat with joy and pleasure and it is the finest culinary delight for me to have. the leader of the house in another role somewhere over there earlier described the kind of deal that it appears is being done by the now prime minister as and i am quoting him mr speaker, "cretinous." could he tell me what on earth has happened in the last two months that has changed his view of the deal from "cretinous" to one of the best things that has ever happened? is it actually his sudden appearance at the despatch box that changed his mind? mr speaker the honourable lady is unduly cynical. laughter. this is a fundamentally different deal because the undemocratic backstop is gone and why is that so important? the backstop meant that the whole of the united kingdom could be kept in perpetuity in the customs union and the single market and can only leave

he meant wasn't it time to wrap this up so mps could hear from jacob rees—mogg?re was to be lots more brexit talk before we got to the leader of the house. some of that talk was triggered by the labour leader, who wanted to ask an urgent question about the letter borisjohnson had sent to the european council. after saturday's shenanigans, the prime minister was obliged to send the letter to request a delay to the planned departure date. but borisjohnson sent the letter unsigned. jeremy corbyn was also asking about the publication of the withdrawal bill, something that amused the brexit secretary. the publication of the withdrawal agreement bill is therefore now being delayed by the leader of the opposition because he has tabled an urgent question requesting the publication of the withdrawal agreement bill. genius. jeremy corbyn was less jovial. as we have come to expect with this prime minister, this is done with posturing and attempts to distract but despite having told the british public over and over again he would never do it, the letter has in fact been sent

but even that failed to ruin jacob rees—mogg's appetite.rable gentleman asked me if i would at any point have to eat my words. well, i must say this deal is the tornado‘s rossini of a deal. it is a deal that one can eat with joy and pleasure. and it is the finest culinary delight for me to have. the leader of the house in another role somewhere over there earlier described the kind of deal that it appears has been done by the now prime minister as, and i'm quoting him, mr speaker, cretinous. did he tell me what on earth has happened in the last few months which changes his view of the deal from cretinous to one of the best things that has ever happened? is it actually his sudden appearance at the dispatch box that has changed his mind? mr speaker, the honourable lady is unduly cynical. this... this is a fundamentally different deal because the undemocratic backstop has gone. why is that so important? well, the backstop meant that the whole of the united kingdom could be kept in perpetuity and the customs union and the single market and coul

it is like when jacob rees—mogg was basicallyjust says, yes.u just say, i would like to prorogue parliament for five weeks, and the response is supposed to be, that's all right. presumably it is the same here. this is aimed at the alliance of remainers. lib dems, labour mps alliance of remainers. lib dems, labourmps and alliance of remainers. lib dems, labour mps and hard—core block brexit tories, who are tying boris johnson in knots with all these laws and procedural ploys and legal challenges. he is basically saying, one of the things they don't want to do is have a general election. if they have a general election before brexit, borisjohnson will probably, he feels, increases majority. thereby being able to deliver brexit. people don't want to allow him to have the general election before he has extended. 0ne him to have the general election before he has extended. one of the ploys they have is a vote of no confidence and then a government of national unity. national unity? yes! put someone like ken clarke or mike harriet harman in charge. 0

we were told by the leader of the house, jacob rees—mogg, but it depends on what happens in the nexteaders of other countries want borisjohnson to show leaders of other countries want boris johnson to show what leaders of other countries want borisjohnson to show what he can do in parliament because they don't wa nt to in parliament because they don't want to go through all the rigmarole of reaching a deal which once again gets rejected over here. more from me later in the bulletin. now the rest of the day's main stories. the parents of harry dunn, the 19—year—old who was killed in a car crash involving the wife of an american diplomat, have met donald trump at the white house. tim dunn and charlotte charles say that when they were there, the president dropped a bombshell, telling them ann sacoolas was in the next room. but they declined to meet her, as duncan kennedy reports. shocking white house meeting. the parents of harry dunn meet with president trump. for the second time in a week, harry dunn's parents are headline news across america. their search for justice now taking them

mogg hasjust speaker of the house, jacob rees mogg has just told the house that he is going to table to our political editor laura kunz berg, saying that the date of a general election in december the 12th would allow m ps election in december the 12th would allow mps further time to scrutinise his brexit deal, but they had to agree to a general election in order for that to happen. labour has said they were back in election once no deal is taken off the table. that's the event this evening. next, the six o'clock news. on thursday december 12th. borisjohnson says if mps agree to allow a snap eleciton, they will then have more time to debate his brexit bill. if they genuinely want more time to study this excellent deal, it's time frankly that the opposition summed up the nerve to submit themselves to the judgment of our collective boss, the people of the uk. but the big question tonight is whether the opposition parties will allow an election to go ahead. also tonight... police say the 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in essex were all chinese, as forensic teams prepare to

perhaps the most striking moment was whenjacob rees—mogg perhaps the most striking moment was when jacob reesnt was whenjacob rees—mogg went over to get in his ministerial car, got in the wrong car and then came over here to get into the correct vehicle. they were giving much away, but certainly all of them will have been involved in this concerted effort to win a sufficient number of mps around. this special sitting of the commons on saturday, which hasn‘t happened since the falklands, so hasn‘t happened since the falklands, so it is very unusual. we have a couple of amendments, at least, including the one that ian watson mentioned from oliver let win that could throw a spanner in the works as far as the prime minister is concerned. —— oliver letwin. as far as the prime minister is concerned. -- oliver letwin. it is designed to make the approval conditional on him actually passing the legislation. the reason he is doing that is that if borisjohnson won tomorrow‘s meaningful vote, the benn act, designed to stop a no deal would essentially be killed off, because he would have got approval for

in the last few minutes, you have heard from the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees-mogg, a member of boris johnson's government, setting out the timetable for that. we understand there will be a vote where they will publish the withdrawal agreement bill, and then a vote known as the second reading tomorrow. the government expects to win that. that would be seen as a victory for boris johnson and the government. following on from that would be a programknown as motion. that would allow them to accelerate the process by which this bill would become law. thinksly, the government they can accelerate that process, and will be able to get all of the relevant legislation passed before the october 31 deadline. obviously a lot of moving parts but we have heard some relatively positive comments from a lot of the folks on the european side. when you consider some of the praise johnson is getting from the european union members, what is the main impediment to getting this done? right.ou are absolutely a lot of europeans positive, they want this deal to go through. they also want brexit to get
