the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer said labour would not back a deal which did not meet thearty's tests. given the shambolic nature of negotiations this is not likely to be at good deal for the country. we've made it clear on a number of occasions if it does not meet our tests we will not be voting for it. do stay with us — we'll be bringing you all the latest on tonight's developments on that agreed brexit text and the political reaction to it. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first lets return to that breaking news — that after nearly a year and half of often fraught discussions, british and eu officials have come up with a draft brexit withdrawal agreement. cabinet ministers are being called into downing street individually this evening for discussions with the prime minister. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster for us now. where do we stand at this minute? cabinet ministers are looking at documentation this evening but i'm told it could be around 600 pages. so they will have defined the areas that may be most controversial, including th

labour's brexit spokesman, sir keir starmer, came back to the commons to find out why the governmentad asked. the solicitor general, robert buckland, told him the government would let mps have what he called a full reasoned statement, and said the attorney general would be in the commons soon to answer mps's questions. not good enough. mr speaker, nobody who was present during the debate on the 13th of november, including the solicitor general, could be under any doubt about what the house was asking for. the binding motion that was passed was for nothing less than the full and final legal advice provided by the attorney general, so it is wholly unacceptable, and frankly shows contempt for this house, for government ministers, including the prime minister at dispatch box yesterday, now to pretend that the house was only asking for partial or qualified legal advice. throughout the brexit process, the government has repeatedly tried to sideline and push parliament away. if it is now intending to ignore parliament altogether, it is going to get into very deep water indeed. the attorney

if you are not a board of brexit there is plenty on our page including keir starmer talking to the bbc in parliament and also there is plenty more on the price of oil which is actually recovering, up 1.5% now. friday was dubbed by some investors as black friday with a bad day for oil but plenty on the website. you're watching business live. our top story... the pound has barely budged, despite the european union approving the brexit withdrawal deal. british prime minister theresa may now has an uphill battle to persuade british politicians to back the plan. now let's get the inside track on what millennials like to do with their money. that is not us! not by a long way! well, it seems a whopping 78% would prefer to splash out on an experience rather than material things. that's according to a survey by eventbrite and harris. 72% said they would like to increase their spending on experiences — a trend which is fuelling growth in the experience economy. the value of the global concert ticket market is predicted to increase by almost 7% annually in the next five years. millennials are fav

we can now speak to the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, who is in westminster.will not meet your tests, but no brexiteer would meet your tests because you spelt out clearly it had to have the exact same benefits as the single market and if you want to stop freedom of movement that is impossible. i did not pluck the test out of thin air. i base them on what the government said it would deliver when it started negotiations. those phrases came endorsed by the prime minister so i will not have it thrown to me that these tests are on the prime minister, it is what she said she would achieve, but frankly whether you apply the tests precisely or even broadly, this falls far short of them on a number of respects, but also the document today, the future relationship, is vague and just lists possible options. for weeks and months we have been saying to the prime minister, if you want us to vote on the future arrangement, you have got to give the detail, you have got to give precision, we cannot have a blind brexit where we do not know where we will up. what she delivered

meanwhile, labour's spokesman keir starmer has said brexit can be stopped, appearing to openly contradictical correspondent, chris mason, reports. the grand plan, a big brexit summit in brussels, looking a bit like this, to sign of a withdrawal agreement. the october deadline came and went. and now, it's mid—november. and went. and now, it's mid-november. the chances of a november summit are increasingly remote, what are the indications? we are working hard for a deal, a numberof important are working hard for a deal, a number of important issues which we still have to get bottomed out but we can't rush it, we have to get the right deal, this is an agreement which will endure for many years and we have to take the time to make sure that we get it right. have you any time? we haven't set a particular deadline, we have to be mindful of the parliamentary arrangements in the uk. the uk is leaving the european union at 11 o'clock on friday the 29th march next year. the government wants a withdrawal agreement with the eu, prefera bly withdrawal agreement with the eu, preferably by the end of th

allegations last week that there was allegations last week that there was a very between him and keir starmerlabour party conference. they appeared to contradict one another on brexit. i thinkjeremy corbyn has played an ambiguous game. my own view? that he isa ambiguous game. my own view? that he is a brexiteer and believes the eu is a brexiteer and believes the eu is cosy and capitalist. didn't he vote remain? yes but in 1975 he voted to leave. he campaigned in a very lukewarm manner and i voted to leave. he campaigned in a very lukewarm mannerand i think voted to leave. he campaigned in a very lukewarm manner and i think his long—standing ideology is outing the eu as long—standing ideology is outing the euasa long—standing ideology is outing the eu as a capitalist club that harms workers' rights. let's talk about one of these plan bs that you mentioned. in the sunday telegraph, a secret plan b, in quotes, for brexit. according to the telegraph, a cabinetand brexit. according to the telegraph, a cabinet and eu plot? it is double pronged war—gaming going on here. interestingly we have heard a

obviously that's a covered that division in the election campaign, and they cover it in the six keir starmeration but we also want all the benefits of the customs union and the internal market. now, the european union's never given those benefits unless you accept free movement, so labour's trying to finesse the issue to hold the party together in that way, and the conservatives did that until recently but now, of course, they face the moment of truth. so it's europe, particularly, which divides parties within parliament you think? absolutely. you can think of all sorts of historical crisis in one party. jacob rees mogg mentioned the repeal of the corn laws in 18116, which divided the conservatives and kept them in opposition for 27 years. then you can look at the home rule crisis of 1886, which divided the liberals and kept them in all its position for most of 20 years. europe divides both parties, and the last comparable occasion was actually when we tried to enter the european community in 1972, when the second reading of the bill was passed byjust eight votes, and that involved labour pe

with me now is sir keir starmer, the shadow brexit secretary. good morning to you.s might happen but nonetheless, does it come as any politician as a bit of a shock to learn that the brexit secretary has gone? it is a shocking development. it is clear the prime minister did not have the backing of the cabinet yesterday. this is the second brexit secretary who has now resigned so i cannot overstate the seriousness of the situation the prime minister now finds itself in. i don't think that she should now simply carry on saying nothing has changed. she has got to reflect on this. she hasn't got the backing of her party or the cabinet and he needs to do what we have been saying she should have done all along which is to reach to the majority in parliament. parliamentarians now need to take ownership of this. as we try to get our heads around this news, what do you think the possible implications are for the process, the process that we thought might be happening yesterday, which may be affected by this? it will be affected by this? it will be affected by this? it will b

with sir keir starmer that mps should see that legal advice? an economic assessment, marseille a bit late in the day, that will be put before parliament if there is a deal. if there is legal advice we should see it too. if the cabinet can look at a copy then mps should be to do so as well. others make the point that legal advisers, the attorney general should be free to make robust arguments, which advise the government. if they have to do that publicly, then they may back away from saying what they really need to say. is that a fair argument? well, you can publish a summary of the essential arguments, that would be one way out of that. normally that is correct. this is such a big decision, so important, i think in this case the government should have a way of making an exemption so we know what it is we are signing up to, because that is what parliament will be asked to do as an when a withdrawal agreement comes back from the negotiations taking place. delie there is clearly a suspicion and unease about the detail of the backstop, whether the

shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, said the party would push for a general election if parliamentected a brexit deal, but if that failed, another vote would be on the table. theresa may's approach is also being criticised by both wings of her own party. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, urging the cabinet to "mutiny" against her plans, while the former education secretary justine greening said they represented the worst of all worlds. let's go live to westminster and our assistant political editor, norman smith. it's getting more and more of the brow? we are reaching some defining moment. senior governments are saying the next 48 hours are crucial in terms of whether there is going to be eight breakthrough because if that isn't there is no chance of an eu summit this month and if that doesn't happen the preparations for no deal have to be massively ramped up no deal have to be massively ramped up which of course creates its own dynamic momentum pushing towards a no deal of them. there's a as well if it goes beyond this month whether parliament would have the time to get

jeremy corbyn says quite clear that brexit can't be stopped, although keir starmer, the shadow ministerseen discussed against it. i have heard jeremy supporting that notion. the key point is this. we have agreed as a party that if there is not a deal thatis party that if there is not a deal that is going to meet the tests that will be supportive of our economy, make sure we get the benefit of access to the single market, make sure that we are in a customs arrangements that is on a permanent basis, not on a temporary basis, thatis basis, not on a temporary basis, that is that the will of any prime minister. that is not the way to be dealing with closest neighbours. we are showing a far greater majority and politics than we are currently seeing from the prime and stand members of her cabinet. if we don't get a deal, and there isn't an election, what we do them? we may well need to go back to the people to closes. it is notjust gordon brown who has said this. i will make this last point as well. we know this last point as well. we know this is a place where people are looking for alternativ

. -- sur keir starmer. this is being floated in a couple of the newspapers.o newspapers. the idea that she would want to go head—to—head withjeremy corbyn in a televised debate about the deal she has brought back. the attraction for downing street is probably nobody is across the detail of that document as much as the prime minister, having worked on it closely in the negotiations for so long. you can imagine many others will be looking at this saying this is the prime minister who does not really wa nt is the prime minister who does not really want to do debates with other party leaders head to head with jeremy corbyn during the general election and why would you want to do that now? there has been no formal confirmation of any of this. it is part may be of her desire to get out there and get to a wider audience thanjust get out there and get to a wider audience than just the 650 mps in the house of commons. the response from the labour party has been to say they would relish the opportunity to debate with the prime minister on all of this we will have to se

let's talk now to shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer. thank you very much for being with us.ister is saying this is the right deal for britain. i think it is a bitter disappointment. this is a document thatis disappointment. this is a document that is full of options, not a document that sets out a plan. it could really have been written two yea rs could really have been written two years ago. and in the debate in the house of commons this afternoon, mps on both sides of the house are saying this is a wish list, telling you what the options are, not what the planets. the prime minister in the planets. the prime minister in the commons talked about labour's six tests and she says this political declaration passes every single one of them. she said that that she's wrong. it does not come anywhere near the six tests. it is not even a strict application. 0n the question of a customs union, the prime minister said this afternoon she does not want a customs union which is as you know vital for manufacturing. i think the real issue here in this document is on one hand it does not ch

advice to be published more widely beyond the government ministers is the labour party and sir keir starmert mps certainly should be able to review and scrutinise it. well, i hope the cabinet has a good sense to realise that this is so important, that it makes it available in parliament for us to see. if they do not, we will have to think about what devices and procedures we can use to force them to do so. but i actually hope and invite the government to reflect on this and realise that it is of significant that it should be released and we should be able to read it when the time comes. there is clearly suspicion and a little bit of unease from some quarters in terms of exactly what the arrangement the government is willing to come to with the eu will be over this and it may concern that some have is that if there is a uk wide customs union, it is upping the backstop arrangement and if a trade deal cannot be put in place and time, is that northern ireland will follow eu rules were the rest of the uk will simply mirror them and as many people said, the dup who would heard from just there, wo

picked up the phone to anybody in any other party, keirstarmer phone to anybody in any other party, keir starmereen iain duncan—smith. she's not sure she can get this through the cabinet. it looks like a deal designed to get through for the benefit of the tory party rather than the benefit of the country. that has always been the fundamental problem with her approach. all four of you coming from different wings of you coming from different wings of the political spectrum, you have all said emphatically you will vote against this. i haven't said that. i said we would look at the deal and apply our tests. it is really going to bea apply our tests. it is really going to be a struggle for all of us. but iagree, to be a struggle for all of us. but i agree, let's read it first, at least that! i take that point, jenny chapman. if it comes to the point where you have read it and you think it doesn't satisfy our six tests, which i have not spoken to anyone in reva who thinks it will, when push comes to shove, will you really vote against it? —— anyone in labour.“ it is not a good deal for the country and

these six tests you say keir starmer has laid out.u. this was not about the new relationship. the point is people voted and wanted to leave the eu and re—establish a relationship so eu and re—establish a relationship so to say you need to ensure a strong relationship, you can‘t do that, at this moment. that is for the future. the second thing is does it deliver the exact same benefits as we currently have as members of the single market and customs union? people don‘t want the same deal. why are you asking for exactly the same deal, it‘s unrealistic? it isn‘t unrealistic to have access toa it isn‘t unrealistic to have access to a marketplace to 500 million people. it‘s crucial for british jobs and industry. but wasn't the point that those who voted out and the politicians who told us to vote out, we can negotiate a better deal, they told us. why would you want a better benefit? the benefits of access to the open markets are clear to see. it is about people‘s jobs and people‘s services and the industry in this country. the customs unio
