not all the party becausejeremy corbyn isn't making it official policy and keir starmer said all optionsf parliament do end up voting against the deal, every other option is still on the table. and those options include a people's vote. we area options include a people's vote. we are a democratic party, democracy in the country didn't die in 2016 and as people see the damage to jobs, businesses, the risk to ireland and to workers up and down the country, the steel industry, the steel industry backing the vote, unions are speaking out strongly in favour of it and labour members up and down the country who are fearful about where this is heading, it's not where this is heading, it's not where they voted for and that is why many are now backing this vote. lot of bureaucracy needs to be dealt with for this to be debated at the conference and become official policy. what is the likelihood? we are democratic and have established processes for debating issues, especially a rapidly changing environment like brexit, hundreds of constituencies across the country are putting forward motions demandi

it is not the labour party policy to hold another referendum, but earlier this week sir keir starmer,t secretary, said if, in the event of parliament voting against the final deal reached by the government in brussels there should be all options on the table, and that leaves a bit of wriggle room for a second referendum to potentially happen. so, what is the likelihood of it becoming official labour policy? it is far from certain. there are many hurdles it would have to be overcome. —— to overcome. it would have to gain the overwhelming support from labour members at conference, and most importantly some of those on the left of the party supportive ofjeremy corbyn. as far as some of those people are concerned it will be seen as an attempt to undermine his leadership because he hasn't ruled out a second referendum. they say explicitly in a notice to campaign members that should not be seen as any attempt to criticise or destabilise the leadership many labour mps associated with the people's vote campaign are often those criticising jeremy corbyn. with me to discuss this further is mike

we saw in the last few days, keir starmer, the shadow brexit secretary, saying if parliament votes againstic deadlock and nothing should be off the table, suggesting a second referendum could be possible, so a lot can happen between now and the end of the negotiations and brexit date in march. theresa may is in africa on a trade visit. what are the expectations of that? her first visit to africa since taking office, she will visit south africa, nigeria and kenya, primarily a trade visit, talking about a renewed partnership with these economies which are growing very quickly, china and other world powers have been investing heavily there so there is a view in government that they don't wa nt to a view in government that they don't want to miss out on that, and also striking a town with brexit of wanting to rebuild britain's relationships with other countries in different parts of the world, and also a focus on security. the headlines on bbc news... food prices are expected to rise in the coming months — as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. an official un report accuse

on that here's labour's shadow brexit secretary keir starmer. in the event that article 50 is voted down we think all option should be on the table and i have said that consistently, john mcdonnell has said that, that is the labour party position. next here's the view from brussels with gavin lee. we are in brussels and the eu institutions have had time to reflect on this no—deal guide from the british government organisations and businesses worried about the effects of a no—deal brexit and i think it is fair to say the mantra is pretty much the same witches, they are preparing for a no deal but hoping for the best outcome which is on the divorce agreement they agreed to it by october, maybe november, so britain can have a transition period of 19 months from march 2019th britain can have a transition period of 19 months from march 20 19th to the end of 2020 to make it easier for when britain eventually leads. the other thing to bear in mind is there is a lot of information, documents relate to big priority issues, such as medicine and health, yo

you make the point and we heard from keir starmer earlier, that all options remain on the table.t its official policy is to offer a people's referendum on this? what keir starmer said this morning was a welcome change in tone and a welcome move, certainly in comparison to the comments made by the shadow international trade secretary barry gardiner earlier this week. keir starmer was absolutely clear that having a people's vote on our withdrawal arrangement should be on the table. that is extremely welcome. i know that many members of parliament on the labour side and voters and supporters will be heartened by that. i'd like them to go a bit further and say whatever the circumstances we really do need to refer this back to the british people, not just the refer this back to the british people, notjust the circumstances of no deal, but in the event that we have a deal, which is clearly not going to match the promises made, the famous £350 million extra per week for the nhs, for example, that was emblazoned across boris's bus, that will not happen. fall of those reasons i think we s
