the telegraph, this is an intriguing photograph of jacob rees—mogg. intriguing photograph of jacob rees-moggt take your either way. it is mesmerizing. it almost looks like something missing. —— you can't take your eyes away. white fluffy cat. exactly what i was thinking. let's just fluffy cat. exactly what i was thinking. let'sjust hide that earlier this week on nestor graham. —— list just tried earlier this week on nestor graham. —— listjust tried that. on instagram. i think it was trying to claim the cat was on her side but you look at it and the cat is clearly not happy to be there. the serious point about the photo is he is talking about brexit, and he has some interesting things to say in the course of the interview for one of their podcast. he says a few things. the first, sending a message to his own side infection going to hold generic, we can deliver this, don't feel you need to vote for this rubbish. —— his own faction. that's holding her. at another message to the conservative saying don't try to purify the party on this issue. it is ok to have some people who want a soft brexit a

this is an interesting article by jacob rees—mogg to accept. the sunday express, because he does not repeat what he has said in the past, which is if he is faced with a choice between the prime minister's deal and staying in the eu, which is the choice that parliament is now facing, because, as ruth says, a no—deal brexit is not possible, he has in the past that he would vote for the prime minister's deal and he carefully avoids saying that and i don't know what is going to do on tuesday. it will be interesting to watch. it will be a fascinating night. we will all be up, won't we? yes, most definitely. mitta the observer —— mitta the observer. shamima begum. sajid javid being described as a moral coward. has anybody agree with that?” described as a moral coward. has anybody agree with that? i think it is very debatable and questionable when he withdrew the british citizenship from shamima begum. i think it was treating her as something of a token and an example. the truth is, we have a bigger question is to what we do with all the other british

jacob rees mogg is already supporting boris johnson there contest. are other people like the former brexit secretary, dominique raab who has not yet swung behind a deal. and a younger contender? exactly. and what is interesting about whether or not they want to deal with the arg or whether it is a poisoned chalice and that will be an interesting dynamic. the final one is the son. no prizes for anyone guessing what that front pages. there she is again. interesting... we talk about it so many times how europe... if she does finally go, assuming she does, europe has consumed so many conservative prime minister. thatcher, major and now theresa may. as well as cameron. she always seemed unrealistic to me but she said she has a social agenda and that she is more than brexit and she wa nts to that she is more than brexit and she wants to get cracking on it. she ca res wants to get cracking on it. she cares about inequality and justice in the legal system and other matters. has she fix those problems? historians willjudge she did not have time to do that. it

changing your mind, like jacob rees—mogg. apologise. for what? must leave the european union and this is the way we have to do it. but it's not the best way. as i said, it's the least bad option and there is far worse. it would be an absolute betrayal of the 17.4 million people if we stay in the customs union, the single market. we might as well stay in the european union if we did that. let me read you a couple of messages from people who are really disappointed in what you are about to do, i voting for mrs may's deal if it comes back at the time. aaron on twitter because you inept cowards. i think i the time. aaron on twitter because you inept cowards. i think! have been quite brave, actually, in making the decision i have made, and it's not one i take lightly. i am really going to be holding my nose doing it. and circumstances might change if we don't get any decision out of these votes today and on monday. but at the moment, it looks as if decisions are made that we have to stay in the eu today, or keepin have to stay in the eu today, or keep

, borisjohnson was in number ten on friday and i think he was in earlier in the week as well, jacob rees mogglks with senior conservatives in recent days. there are some, not necessarily those in this group that there are some making that exact point you just made. that if the parameter was to announce our immediate or imminent departure, it might create more space for some to back the deal. —— mike lee prime minister. remember, this is the easy bit. the getting out. it is the future, the free trade agreement that will give any future relationship that will be harder. there has been some basic principles for that set out in the bulk still has to be done. theresa may might promise to go, someone else could come in to get brexit over the line but it is far from guaranteed that even that dramatic manoeuvre would work. in terms of timetables for the week ahead, we still know little except that there should be a statement tomorrow in the house of commons? yeah, normally, the prime minister will come back on the monday... and i suppose it is quite important because it gives us two extra possible da

yes, and he is the chief no deal person out there now that jacob rees—mogg has changed his position. is now in the same camp as dominic grieve. jacob rees—mogg appears to have outsourced his view to the dup. he says he will do whatever the dup does, which is a very curious position. under problem for the prime minister. this is what the guardian is talking about. although it has no eight times as it had mine, it focuses a lot on theresa may saying she is willing to go with her deal is voted through parliament, which she believes is the best deal for great britain, parliament, which she believes is the best dealfor great britain, et cetera. we have heard her say it many times. it does highlight the guardian and everybody else, the dup has thrown the prime minister's chance of getting her deal through parliament into doubt, because they are saying, we still don't like the steel, actually. no matter who is in charge of the conservative party, no matter who is pm, they do not want this deal. that's right. this is how the metro have taken it, vote brexit and i'll exit. her putting that on

bad day for the dup and the government, not looking like they will back it, in the meeting that jacob rees—moggjacob rees—mogg said i will support you, the dup, volume into the lobbies, in the same meeting with sammy wilson, dup's "brexit" spokesman, said, there is no way we are backing it as it stands. they have not received any of the concessions they wanted on the backstop, and so...|j of the concessions they wanted on the backstop, and so... i was going to ask you, before we went to the vote, this idea about the no deal, she seems inscrutable or no deal, last week when i spoke with the dutch camp, various other camps within brussels, they were of the view that she was reconciled to no deal, but to date and how she said, no deal unless the house voted for it... which is it? the sense in europe is notjust that she would be willing to gamble or no deal to keep the party together, even if that is true, no one trust her to be in control of the situation, no one discounts the possibility of stumbling out with no deal despite what the prime minister wants, so thatis what the prime minister wants,

the combination of jacob rees—mogg ago or even 48—hours ago. ombination ofjacob rees—mogg has said, what borisjohnson has implied. iain duncan smith, david davis all going in that way, but combined what is reported to be the prime minister's position, that she doesn't anticipate being in charge of the second stage of the negotiation, now that means that she is likely to be prime ministerfor the next two or three months but it also means if there is to be a new leader, potentially a new prime minister it is not going to happen in the middle of a crisis, quite the opposite. it will happen in a slightly more proper and responsible way. what do you think lots of members of the public will make of those former collea g u es the public will make of those former colleagues of yourers in the commons who have been very critical, they have said it's a disaster for this country. they have said it's the wrong deal and now they will say ok we will vote for it. what will the public make of that my criticism is the fact it has taken them so long to reach this

it doesn't seem likely that jacob rees-mogg will be held to that. parliament takes over the brexit process, should we feel confident that it is in good hands? rob: [laughter] i did put that to a cabinet minister this afternoon, that he might be relieved to have someone else take charge, and he laughed. what it would almost certainly mean is a softer brexit. if parliament agrees on anything , what it probably agrees on is a softer brexit than theresa may is currently going for. there are a bunch of problems with whether the mechanism of parliament telling the prime minister what to do, that's just not how it is normally done here. certainly not to this level of detail. all, itok any form at would take the form of a soft brexit. there is the untested assumption that there are the votes or what is known as sort of norway-plus, which would see britain stay inside the common market, just leave the political institutions. there is an argument against that that says you become a rule taker, but there is an argument for it that says more or less muchould do

which is what jacob rees—mogg was saying. legislation. which is what jacob rees-mogg was saying.and possibly losing brexit to something much softer. knew are the institute of government, so you get to know these things — although in legal terms it is true that the law says we will leave on march the 29th, when parliament has voted the way it has, things will change, isn't that the practicality? we will not leave our no—deal. isn't that the practicality? we will not leave our no-deal. that is the powerful political point, and so it puts enormous powerful political point, and so it puts enormous pressure powerful political point, and so it puts enormous pressure on the prime minister to get puts enormous pressure on the prime ministerto get an puts enormous pressure on the prime minister to get an extension, and to start talking about other possible options, if she can't do that. stephen, as the fireworks go off, the metaphorical fireworks of the government losing this amendment, another defeat tonight after losing on the big vote last night, there is another story going on behind—

and jacob rees-mogg. 0 odd labour mp, possibly the dup. we have this situation wherejohn bercow and the house of commons right now is mash naiting to prevent her being able to bring this bribe, they are coming onboard, will the vote happen? we don't know, john bercow isa happen? we don't know, john bercow is a stubborn man and he seems sure he is not going to let it happen, as ever we don't really know, all, everything moves but in the end you ta ke everything moves but in the end you take a deep breath and nothing changes. no—one knows what is going to happen tomorrow, next week... what do you make of the voting system tonight? it is unsatisfactory, it doesn't tell us anything. it might do on monday but could it provide the answer? well, it is like the world cup, when england were doing well and everyone spent weeks going through the permutation and who we might get in that round and if this happens and that round and if this happens and that happen, germany go out. brazil go out and nothing you think is

to happen but it could still happen by default, which i gatherfrom the newspapers this morning jacob rees—moggacob rees—mogg and borisjohnson are talking about possibly refining their position and maybe even voting for theresa may's deal on the grounds that some form of organised departure is better than it is organised departure. confused? we probably all will be. go back to that diagram! needless to say on bbc news we will be across the events as they unfold in parliament. still to come. childcare is big business — we'll get the lowdown on the industry looking after your most precious assets you're with business live from bbc news. the battle for control of debenhams took another twist this morning. sports direct has now offered 5p a share offer for the remainder of the shares it doesn't already own. but the offer would come with conditions including installing sports direct‘s boss, mike ashley, as chief executive. laith khalaf is a senior analyst for hargreaves la nsdown. good morning. when we say 5p a share it doesn't sound like a lot but it's actually a premium on its current price. it's

jacob rees—mogg says he is waiting to see what northern ireland's democratic unionists decides to dong quiet so they are not persuaded yet. there are others who appear unpersuadable. if it is rammed through parliament at the last minute, everyone will have buyer's remorse. you have got people saying they will hold their noses against the stench of this deal and vote against it. how can this deal be the path of the future for our country? the former foreign secretary borisjohnson in the daily telegraph says he still does not like the deal and also in here 23 conservative mps say no deal next week would be a precursor to a very good deal indeed. meanwhile, the government is still trying to sound optimistic about getting its deal through. i think sound optimistic about getting its dealthrough. i think there sound optimistic about getting its deal through. i think there are some cautious signs of encouragement. you have got people like matthew elliott who led the league campaign, norman lamont, strong critics of the deal, who are now saying they will support it. but there is a lot more w

at what about those comments them by jacob rees mogg just a few moments ago and he he said that this motion that is just invited on isn't in fact legally binding it does not override at statute law virginal in other words. that article fifty being trtriggered what what. what's your view on that. he's quite read these totally predictable he's s been saying that for months of goals. yes but none the less sir -- and ththe parliament will not accept a situation with no deal but i think the goverernment wa. in thehe village where theyy wod trtry to vote for the government because they couldn'tt do it so he turned to read against. the government's amended resosolution.. and i think we're going to seee morere resignations i actually think what toto resume hihis governrnment. stretching quite seriously. there are several possible scenarioios o on the becacause t want to talk about what the you might do now that what the thinking might be in brussels i mean do you think they're looking on all of this and thinking that you know. maybe just walking away is the best option right now maybe just l

effect theresa may is saying to borisjohnson effect theresa may is saying to boris johnson and jacob rees—moggfor my deal? that is the trade off that is being danced around. i mean it is interesting that the number ten spokesperson said they are lengthy, these talk, not saying anything about them, just how long they are taking which we can tell from the fa ct taking which we can tell from the fact they are still in there. do you think they are likely to accept that bargain? it must be very tempting for borisjohnson, bargain? it must be very tempting for boris johnson, obviously bargain? it must be very tempting for borisjohnson, obviously because he wants to succeed theresa may, as prime minister, and so if she were to preannounce her resignation some time later this year, that would be something he would be rather looking forward to, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to support the prime minister's deal, because it is not very popular with the people who choose the next leader, which is the tory pa rty‘s members choose the next leader, which is the tory party's members in the country, so

like orjeremy hunt, or philip hammond, are going to end up with the same group of people, like jacob rees—moggikejacob rees—mogg, in to end up with the same group of people, like jacob rees—mogg, in the european research group, who have basically held the country to ransom for the last three years. they would say they have defended what the majority voted for. well, they do, from the point of view, if you like the idea of no deal, they've got a point. we don't know why people voted the way they did. all we know is that they voted to come out of europe. what the erg argue is that that means no deal. what is interesting about the mail on sunday putting michael gove into the caretaker role, it does strike me that whoever the caretaker is cannot be the next prime minister. they really do have to agree to be a caretaker. why not? could you imagine the other candidates actually allowing the caretaker to have that head start on the racetrack? also, we have seen what happens when you get a coronation, we saw that with gordon brown. the public, who... we saw that with gordon brown. the public, who. ..

we re interesting that the latest comments were found on facebook page that was supportive of jacob rees—moggt on to it and said there is no room for islamaphobes in the party, we have been very quick on it, but i do not think that is true. they have been a lot of comments about sajid javid, which is interesting. we were just talking about him obviously, we know he is at the home office and he has leadership ambitions, there are comments saying i could not bear to see islam lead the country about him being the leader. so it would be interesting to see his role in this because he is in the perfect position to really, and to assert his authority on this, and i think that would be very interesting. —— political posturing. but it is a real problem for the tory party, this. finally, i think i real problem for the tory party, this. finally, ithinki have heard of this very wealthy young lady. kyliejenner, there she is on the front page there. kyle. no, it is kylie. kylie jenner, she is the youngest billionaire ever. 21. extraordinary, this is a story about instagram basically. she has made... we had

the leading brexiteer, jacob rees mogg said he would back the deal as long as the dup are willing tosaid they do not abstain on the union and they would not support theresa may's deal. another emotional speech was made where colleagues were denounced as knaves and falls. he called theresa may's performance a pantomime and suggest that parliament should be bulldozed. so that man obviously was not about to provide support to the prime minister. it does not look like her deal will have enough support and parliament cannot come up support and parliament cannot come up with any alternatives. it ran through a list of indicative votes and all of them got no. what is next. ? this is the phrase you could not make it up, it is what it was written for. tonight was an indicative voter. just to get an idea on where mps may be on alternatives. what is likely now is that they will come back on monday and discuss the least unpopular option. every option failed but some we re option. every option failed but some were more popular than others. including the idea of another referendum. a deal involving

is that the kind of thing that could be the sort of concession people like jacob rees mogg and othersrom the prime minister? does not seem a credible possibility? when, you remember, she was facing a vote of no confidence in her own leadership by her own party not so long ago, she won that, but when she was addressing mps then, she made clear to them that she wasn't going to try and hang onto powerfor ever, that she recognised there were some frustrations in her leadership, to let her get brexit through and then she would think of whether to stay on or not. she has signalled she might go. some mps, conservative, are saying that they don't want her to lead the next stage of negotiations. what we are talking about now is our exit from then —— my exit from the eu, but the future relationship negotiations will be a long and drawn—out process. perhaps some conservative mps might lend their support so that we leave the eu, as long as there is a promise that someone else takes the negotiations on going forward. having said that, you have heard the warnings from the likes of iain duncan smith

jacob rees—mogg, the most prominent of the european research group, he has said he will be waiting townjudgement. the leader of what the dup has before informing his own judgement. the leader of the labor party has said the prime minister ‘s negotiation in his judgement has failed and the announcements this evening do not amount to the changes that parliament requires theresa may to achieve. she will argue quite to the contrary and we can expect very lively exchanges in the house of commons when she rises tomorrow to begin that debate. let's go to strasbourg and to adam fleming. adam, you said, is a thumbs up or thumbs down? we will know that tomorrow. the funds in all sorts of different places depending on what mps and most are scratching their heads. what for you was key thing? well, i suppose the slight thing that made that press conference disappointing is that we both knew what was going to be on the table and what they were going to agree, quite heavily trailed through the day. that joint quite heavily trailed through the day. thatjoint interpretive instrument about not needing

it sounds like jacob rees—mogg has come around to things, they don't want to get rid of the backstop bout little tweaks, modest concessions, just tiny little things, we are not unreasonable, they are saying. can you just put a little blow on top of it? they want brexit and they are starting to see they might not get the brexit in any form and they are willing to accept it in any form which is now available. so what do you make of the timing of nick timothy speaking saying she is relu cta nt timothy speaking saying she is reluctant remain? i think it is true, she wanted to stay. she was one of those who helped compose her brexit policy, so firstly he would know, and secondly, if it is not the right policy for britain, which is what they were saying, that is partly his fault. just before we leave this, michel barnier says he has been speaking to develop, the european union, he is basically said, is prepared to give more guarantees that the irish backstop is only intended to be temporary, we are happy to extend it. he said the question the eu 27 will ask is what is it for and the and so

jacob rees—mogg exit, or a michael gove brexit.that serious concern. —— consideration. we hear the withdrawal agreement is potentially being separated and just being put up being separated and just being put upfora being separated and just being put up for a vote tomorrow. but that would mean leaving the eu with absolutely no idea where we are heading. that cannot be acceptable and we would not vote for that. as presidentjunker and donald tusk, they said, it can be made clear that those two documents, while being of a different nature, are part of the associated package, that is what the eu has always said, part of the same negotiated package. the prime minister's interpretation of that is clear from the statement she made in parliament on the same day, the 14th of january, referring to that later she said the eu has provided absolute clarity on the explicit link between withdrawal agreement and the political declaration. the link was made clear in the documents the way they are presented. i know collea g u es the way they are pres

norman mentioning and jacob rees—mogg mentioning and jacob rees—mogg mentioning the views of the dup from jeffrey donaldson of the dup saying the dup has greater clarity but need to hear what the attorney general has to say and that's the next key piece of information we are waiting on from the attorney general geoffrey cox giving his legal opinion on this deal reached in strasbourg last night. right now let's get the thoughts of conservative mp and former attorney general dominic grieve, thank you for your time theresa may said she was trying to secure legal changes to the withdrawal agreement but that's not what she's got is it? it's not. broadly speaking the instrument she's come back with simply repeats the content of the original withdrawal agreement and it certainly does not give us a unilateral ability to terminate the backstop. the backstop continues for as long as the eu wants it to continue. the only marginal change i can see in the text is the provision that it reduces the risk of the eu being able through bad faith to prevent the backstop being brought to an end. bad fait

perhaps jacob rees—mogg could throw his hat into the ring.javid, —— sajid javid. and then there are few people outside the cabinet. who may be like johnny mercer, maybe tom as well. amber brought might have a go but she is a remainder. so that will make it harder for she is a remainder. so that will make it harderfor her. she is a remainder. so that will make it harder for her. so it depends on who the perm entry party selects and that it is the party at large. two quite different electorates really. the parliamentary party first of all, who would they pick, with a go for johnson as one of the two candidates? if you look at the leadership contest passed both in conservative party and labour party, the primary concern tends to be unity of the party. they do not tend to pick someone who will split the party. but the other consideration is electability. and because brexit has proven so difficult with the loss of majority in 2017, they will be prioritising electability and thatis be prioritising electability and that is why borisjohnson may have

jacob rees—mogg, borisjohnson, changing their minds. government should be taken control of this process. i am personally extremely upset also that the government is allowing a free vote for conservative members of parliament, and is ordering the cabinets to abstain. it does not seem cabinets to abstain. it does not seem to me that that is showing great leadership. tell me about that. that is unusual. the cabinet are being told to abstain, the rest of you have three votes. what is that telling you? the cabinet cannot agree? i think there is concern that there might be such a split within the cabinets that they would be another tranche of ministerial resignations but frankly this is what leadership is about. if the prime minister is concerned about which particular minister can be trusted to vote in accordance, she should tackle that minister, and if the minister will not vote with the whip, the minister knows what he or she should do, which is to resign. the prime minister will address the group of backbench conservative mp5 at five o‘clo

but those changes were rejected by a key group of eurosceptic conservative mps, jacob rees—mogg's europeany the dup, whose mps keep theresa may's government in power. that left the prime minister vulnerable to another heavy defeat. struggling with her voice, theresa may delivered a prepared response to the result immediately. i profoundly regret the decision that this house has taken tonight. i continue to believe that by far the best outcome is that the united kingdom leaves the european union in an orderly fashion, with a deal. and that the deal we have negotiated is the best and indeed the only deal available. she said she would stick to her commitment about what she would do if she lost the meaningful vote. therefore, tonight we will table a motion for debate tomorrow to test whether the house supports leaving the european union without a deal on 29 march. the leader of the house will shortly make an emergency business statement confirming the change to tomorrow's business. this is an issue of grave importance for the future of our country. just like the referendum, there are strongly

you have jake ——jacob rees mogg with 11—year—old peter, looking like a repeat of history with him lookinggearing up for looking like he is going to be gearing upfora looking like he is going to be gearing up for a repeat of his own. you have borisjohnson, you have michael gove who looks like he is asleep, who knows what the future is in terms of michael gove. the guardian says "may's deal drift away , guardian says "may's deal drift away", we don't know that, this is theissue, away", we don't know that, this is the issue, isn't it. we have no idea what there is out there in terms of support for her deal, in order to get that extension to article 50 beyond mid april, into may, it is very ha rd to beyond mid april, into may, it is very hard to predict. it is very ha rd to very hard to predict. it is very hard to predict. the one thing that i would say with regard to the attitude towards theresa may, is that there seems to be a real disconnect actually in terms of theresa may and how she has pushed her deal through, a disconnect with her deal through, a disconnect with her own party, disconn

what a number of papers, including mine, are reporting is that the european research group, jacob rees—mogg'sded now to accept theresa may's deal, pending these three tests on the backstop that geoffrey cox brings back on by the sound of them, they are not too onerous. —— tory. by the sound of it, brexit goes through and we live on the 29th of march. 50 the backstop is goes through and we live on the 29th of march. so the backstop is not quite the block we thought it was.” think this is mood music, i think this is about the european research group and the dup signalling that yes, they are not trying to obstruct brexit because elsewhere in the papers, the sunday telegraph, andrea leadsom and jeremy hunt joined papers, the sunday telegraph, andrea leadsom and jeremy huntjoined an article saying that people who are seeking to frustrate brexit are denying the will of the people, but i think what is interesting here is it also talks about michel barnier in the sunday times article because oi'i in the sunday times article because on friday, he apparently said that i'io on friday, he apparently said

speculation too about jacob rees—mogg. he are coming on board.b rees—mogg. he has said he would never abandon the dup. some of the brexiteers i've been speaking to say, watch this space. the reason is because many of them fear that u nless is because many of them fear that unless they bite on the steel, and they don't like it, but unless they bite on it they can see parliament getting hold of the process and pushing for a much slower, softer brexit and possibly even derailing brexit. i think a moment of truth has descended upon many of them. my guess is mrs may, she is inching, inching closer. there is still enough of them probably to thwart her, particularly when you add on board the dup. so today i think she mightjust fall short board the dup. so today i think she might just fall short but the board the dup. so today i think she mightjust fall short but the one thing she gets is what's called the big mo, the big momentum, getting real movement in your direction, i think bill clinton coined it. last time she went down by 149. were she to bring t

that may sound like a surprise because the dup have got alliances with arch brexiteers like jacob rees—mogg and borisjohnson and others in the eog, but it tallies com pletely others in the eog, but it tallies completely with one of the most fundamental principles that the dup believes in. in contrast, here around the irish border, many communities are nationalists supporting remain voters and they absolutely feel very bitterly opposed to brexit, very frustrated and angry that this process has been brought to the brink. there are many businesses around here whose livelihood depends on getting a nswe i’s livelihood depends on getting answers about how they are going to trade in the future. south of the border in the republic of ireland, the irish government is watching this with great worry because there could be massive economic shock in ireland if the uk were to leave without a deal. it could mean thousands of job losses, without a deal. it could mean thousands ofjob losses, businesses becoming unviable overnight and there is huge contingency planning donein there is huge contingency planni

interest, everybody‘s interest, theresa may's interest, michael gove‘s entrance, borisjohnson, jacob rees—moggnterest in their own way. the urgency here is also them trying to use the european union's deadlines as part of the reason why something has to happen tomorrow. 0therwise something has to happen tomorrow. otherwise this extension... something has to happen tomorrow. otherwise this extension... to be clear this is not the whole presidio being voted on, it is half, the withdrawal agreement, the divorce business of the deal. it's not that meaningful vote, not the third meaningful vote, not the third meaningful vote. it's another definition of half a loaf of bread, half an endorsement which allows her to get over the line to may 22 rather than panic two weeks to april 12. but beyond that, we would be none the clearer even if she got it through. pretty similar sort of front page at the telegraph, the day of reckoning on the day britain was supposed to leave the eu. that is march 29. may's deal returns to the comments in a desperate final push, the same kind of story. although in the telegra

surely the dup you need on side to get over the line and they were saying the dup are looking at jacob rees—moggere is a mood shift that, that is paradoxical and it sums up i suppose the situation we are and. who will blink. who will blink first. the dup say they are really strong in their statement and i think it was interesting because everything in brussels happened so late last night and it has taken a while for people to react so late this afternoon he described what she believed was inexcusable, the fact that she did not have a significant change to the withdrawal agreement. the eu 27 have been saying for what feels like months but it may have been weeks, we are not revisiting. they have been completely consistent on that point but i thought it was interesting that they cannot so strongly today because they could have let that be vague and say discussions were ongoing but they basically made it quite difficult for their mps to back her deal next week which is interesting when you highlight that relationship between then and the eog. you mentioned the idea of the customs union and they said

brexit deal, as we discussed, some of the brexiteers have come on boy for the deal, boris johnson, jacob rees—moggothers have not. so the erg is as it's called, the brexiteers group in the tory party, she's pretty divided. and of course dp had been to, so where are we? i mean, is it her deal still a long way short you think of getting enough votes?|j think of getting enough votes?” think there was some expectation that the dup was slightly more in a place where they were going to say make a swing in behind her. i mean, secondly, before the last meeting for that one end, there was a sense that the latest —— legal advice to trade it happening. this suggestion was that they were both signed up to it than they wear i went and actually came to pass. i think the issue though with a hard rub still vips who don't want to back it. and they said publicly i would not vote for a day bl whatsoever stopped to let you know, mark francois whined those people saying they want back it, and you know the argument is. it's not brexit, it's a backlash once said to me this evening, and they not be in years' time, by fiv

jacob rees-mogg is a supporter of horace johnson.making a very good prime minister. the leadership contest will be in the running but there will be questions asked. borisjohnson who wrote an article in favour of remain unwanted favourite exit. again, there were lots of people appointed to that particular moment in his sort of role as saying he took that particular decision to come out in favour of brexit because he thought that would further his own admission to become prime minister of this country. it will open up these questions all over again. we will carry on watching this space. i know it's late for you. thank you. the us aircraft manufacturer boeing has insisted its 737 max which has been grounded by regulators worldwide is safe despite two crashes involving that model in the past six months. the company said it was working on modifications to an automated anti—stall system which is believed to have malfunctioned before the first crash, causing a lion air flight to fall into the sea off indonesia. our transport correspondent t

the telegraph pictures jacob rees—mogg urging conservative mps to hold their nerve to deliver brexitists against a "purge" of tory mps who want to keep the uk tied closely to the eu. "corbyn‘s final humiliation" is the mail's take on an equalities watchdog investigation into allegations that labour is anti—semitica and may have broken the law. let's begin with brexit and the guardian's story, many pleads with eu leaders after a day of government chaos. theresa may is giving a speech tomorrow in lincolnshire and she is going to say it is up to you, to the eu, as to whether this deal passes or not on monday. whether that works, it is unlikely that he will. she will then go to brussels for another week of fraught diplomacy but the question everyone is asking is what is that we need to do to create the majority? you have conservatives saying that have deep problems with the backstop, it is not clear about a different brexit and it is not clear it is a second referendum because there is not a majority in parliament for that. it is not getting anywhere. what i love — love is a strong word—

jacob rees—mogg has indicated that he would be prepared to back the prime minister's deal if you can that quote comes from a writer for buzzfeed. there is change in the conservatives, if the dup decide to back it, even though the backstop is still there, then the erd will back it, a lot of the hard right brexiteers will back it. —— erg. political dominoes. it will be amazing to see if the dup will back it because it looks bad for them, they were very stern on the backstop, if that has not changed, thenit backstop, if that has not changed, then it looks like... well, that could really damage things. then it looks like... well, that could really damage thingsm then it looks like... well, that could really damage things. it is tricky, i don't know what more she can offer the dup, she has offered the stormont lock, you then have to consult northern ireland if they wa nted consult northern ireland if they wanted to change the customs rules for all the united kingdom, offered them a seat on the negotiating committee if there was a backstop, what more can she do? we are talking about the do

and one jacob rees—mogg, in the daily mail, apologising in advance for mrs may's deal, open back its it closed ts, back its if the dup back it closed ‘s, and acknowledging that he is likely to be accused of treachery. this was what he said on the today programme. the deal is not a good deal and it doesn't seem to me to deliver fully on the referendum result or on the conservative party manifesto. but we are seeing a concerted attempt to stop brexit altogether. under the law of the land that was passed into law last june, we ought to leave at 11 o'clock on friday, with or without a deal. and the government has now stopped that, and the house of commons has joined in stopping that. and we are therefore faced with a very satisfactory choice, and we are therefore faced with a very unsatisfactory choice, which in my mind lets down the british people that we are even facing this choice between mrs may's deal, where we are at least legally out, or various other plans that may conceivably keep us in. meanwhile, on the other signed off the island, in labour circles, a bust—up is about to blow

sam coates, the times one of the main erg members is jacob rees mogg.cause i thought we were leaving on the 29th of march at 11pm, and that's been taken off the table. so, as long as no deal was the default option, i was in favour of that default option. but the government has backed away from that, in spite of the prime minister's commitments that we would leave on the 29th, and parliament has made it clear it won't support that. so, as that is no longer there, it is a hierarchy of choices. leaving without a deal would've been my top choice now, then you come to mrs may's deal, then you come to not leaving at all. mrs may's deal is better than not leaving at all. here's what mr rees mogg has said before about the deal — helpfully supplied by his former allies at leave.eu. remember — mr rees mogg was so against this deal that back in november he tried to bring down theresa may over it. here's what he said at the time. is opportunities being thrown away. if you look at the deal, our tariffs will be set by the european union and will be illegal for us to

johnson,rs like boris even jacob rees mogg, who said until today he would oppose the deal so long asemocratic unionists did. but the hard-core stayed firm. dup feared northern ireland could be treated differently to rest of the u.k. for the sake of avoiding a hard border with ireland. jeremy corbyn's labour mps split. five reconcile to brexit back the deal. most helped sink it. so now who is in charge? mps and cross-party factions are working on their own plans for brexit. a former cabinet minister is organizing a series of votes for next week, hoping most mps can agree on one. th options, a brexit closer to theth e mrs. may deal, maybe under the same customs laws, maybe under market laws. that has been compared to the european common market. a new referendum is an option, ybe tied to whatever brexit deal is chosen in the end. mps who oppose leaving with no dl and believe that parliament would never allow it brexiting revoking off for now or for good. mps could order thela governmeni to adopt the plan mps choose. mrs. may's next move, assuming she is around long enough, doing nothing

david davis, dominic rab, former brexit secretaries, iain duncan smith, former pro—minister, and jacob rees moggopean research group, who has been vociferous in criticising the premise to's strategy from a pro—brexit point of view. david green is also there who did the david liddington drop before he was forced to resign over a controversy with a women journalist who behaved about his behaviour, but he is still regarded as one of theresa may was my closest friends in westminster and there is another car driving up. we might be lucky to work out who is coming out from this distance but it is not a bad view, not one you would get very often of the prime minister's country residence. it raises the question of whether reports turn out to be correct that she is under pressure to depart or quit in the coming days, and the question is always asked, where is the queen at the time because she would need to ask the queen. she is not regarded as the resigning type, she did not resign after failing to in the 2017 election outright, having taken in the 2017 election outright, having ta ken her in the 2017 el

do you think people like jacob rees—mogg could come over to the prime minister's?k, eurosceptics against the deal, they seem to be signalling that if he comes back with an assurance, a legally binding assurance, that the backstop will not be open—ended, then they might go for it. the clock is running downfall of them and the fact is that now, in politics, the most important thing is numbers and if there's deal is voted out again, they will not get through a no deal and most likely they will vote for and most likely they will vote for an extension of article 50 which would put brexit at risk. will the eu give that assurance? michel barnier gave an interview yesterday in germany where he said he is mindful to give the assurances and guarantees that we are looking for, whether it is legally binding it's another matter but he's making the right noises. geoffrey cox is working hard to broker a deal. and what is interesting is that, in europe, germany is on the edge of a recession. that may concentrate minds as well. there are various reasons as to why they are in troubl

the point about jacob rees—mogg fact oppose theresa may's deal. is that he was suggesting that the erg would oppose the deal unless brexit was at threat. from my understanding, from talking to some brexiteers today if they don't think they have reached that point yet. there seems to be an acceptance, the last couple of weeks, after conversations with ministers, that no's deal could come back a third time, believe it or not, and that would be the moment in which everybody would finally have to make their final everybody would finally have to make theirfinal move. everybody would finally have to make their final move. 0k, everybody would finally have to make their final move. ok, so, we are looking closely at the numbers, 230 votes it went down by the first time in january. if she votes it went down by the first time injanuary. if she narrows out votes it went down by the first time in january. if she narrows out and get it under 100, would that be seen asa get it under 100, would that be seen as a success get it under 100, would that be seen as a s

although as you mentioned, some high—profile brexit supporters including jacob rees—mogg and borisjohnsonftened in their opposition to her deal. it doesn't look like enough, the arithmetic is stacked against her so it means more attention my turn to this bizarre way of doing things that mps have been trying to do this evening where they whittle through different options and try to pick out some front—runners. it didn't work perfectly tonight in the no clear option had a majority but supporters of this argue that if they run the numbers again this monday, maybe a clear option will come out of it. events are being watched closely in brussels, where it seems no—one is any the wiser as to what the final outcome will look like. here's our europe editor katya adler. like in the uk, the eu finds itself in a kind of agonising holding pattern now, waiting for something definitive to happen in westminster. all of this waiting, this uncertainty, affecting european businesses and european citizens. the eu finds all this very frustrating. i found there was a real contrast in moods tonight between the

many months that we've been doing this show, the idea that iain duncan smith, boris johnson, jacob rees—mogg people would vote for the prime minister's deal, dominic raab, blimey. a few weeks ago, that would have seemed not that likely, so they have seemed not that likely, so they have shown progress, so 10 downing street have managed to buy themselves a bit more time. the question is, is there any life left in that deal or is itjust going to be subsumed into the parliamentary compromise that will see next week? and former minister and thoughtful mp and former minister and thoughtful m p texted and former minister and thoughtful mp texted me today and said, i need to build more brick wall in my office on which to bang my head, but there was a feeling in government, it may be crazy to think this. it's nuts to have even had another go, but they managed to show some progress, except it's not really in their hands any more. and you can see the latest edition of brexitcast on your television this afternoon just after 2.30 on bbc news and you can also hear it now on bbc sounds. the pilot of the pl

some of the arg people like jacob rees mogg coming over to her deal, reluctantly. softening when you look at the chairman of the 1922 committee, writing in the papers this morning, yet he still wa nts to papers this morning, yet he still wants to see the concrete changes we just spoke about but also he thinks everybody wants to get this over and done with. he's desperate to find a deal that he came back. there are a number of dema conservatives in that position. the drg as much as anyone wa nt to position. the drg as much as anyone want to get this over the line and get it delivered. there are, however, a group of 20 who we saw last week when they voted against the pamina is thetimetable who are still very the big question over the next ten days is whether geoffrey cox, the attorney general can deliver something concrete enough. that would hopefully, he thinks, if he get something that says he is how we get out, give him enough time to get to the dup and this over the line. but don't sit there this morning thinking this is nearly there. there is still a lot of work

signals are that the likes of jacob rees mogg would fall behind to reasons deal but other members havek it under any circumstances. it will be a closely fought numbers game counting up which members could potentially backed the deal and which will vote against. and not to forget the dup. absolutely. and on that the prime minister hopes that the attorney general can come back with some slightly more helpful legal advice and he had last time. the suggestion is that dup and the drg are looking for ladders declined. they fear that brexit may not ever happen and that this is the only way of getting brexit. that they will have to swallow hard and vote for theresa may's deal. for some, they wish to cease to be a memberof some, they wish to cease to be a member of state of the eu. and if this is the only way to do it then they will fall in line. she has gotten david davis on board, he had resigned because he did not like the direction of travel, and he has finally come out and voted in favour of the bill. if he could campaign over the next few days the prime minister would find that helpful. m

a very helpful double spread with some of the very prominent voices are featured, jacob rees—mogg, borise have not so far. one of her cards we have not discussed which he could play, a lot wa nt not discussed which he could play, a lot want her to play, i will not be around after this point, so if she commits to saying, i will not be the prime minister that takes forward the next stage of negotiation, this is only the withdrawal agreement, another thing people keep having to say, this conversation is going on for years, do they want theresa may at the helm? clearly not. the future relationship is the next stage to be negotiated. that is a possibility, but i get the impression with theresa may that there is an element of her now actually wanting to stay on and prove people wrong. yeah, she is becoming more resistant. and rigid, she was always rigid. i think there is something in her thinking that, actually, hang on, ifi there is something in her thinking that, actually, hang on, if i manage to do this thing that looked impossible, possibly still isn't possible, why should i go? she became
