the labour party has responded, saying thatjeremy corbyn under the party are fully in support of theates to not .1% of the membership about one anti—semite —— one anti—semite in the party is one too many. what they think should go too many. what they think should go to get on top of this once and for all? the steps need to take a very dramatic indeed. they hold that the labour party has dug itself into over the last three years, and further since those talks within the leadership, is great. the only way to deal with this is a true dramatic steps, like independence and transparency over disciplinary process to restore faith in that process. but also for cases like chris williamson, for those cases to be dealt with very quickly indeed. he has been there —— he has been a thorn in the relationship between labour and the jewish community for quite a while now and we have heard nothing about that process since he was suspended a few weeks back. one dramatic step that could be taken tomorrow morning would be to deal with it, or at least finance a timescale for dealing with it. justin cohen,

it is to stop them gaining seats so shouldn't the labour party be careful? ra and decided to call the referendum as a ploy to knock down his right wing in the party and stop nigel faraj. he had no intention of losing this thing. and he did lose it. now he had to go and this thing is sitting in the national consciousness. farage sta rts national consciousness. farage starts the praxis party which is sucking the life out of the conservative party and may be hitting labour as well —— brexit party. maybe it is a good thing for labour and they will decide where they will stand. talking about who does what, the mail on sunday has all that because it has 40% of tory councillors backing fa rage. all that because it has 40% of tory councillors backing farage. they are saying three quarters want theresa may to resign. because she had the vote of no confidence, maybe if we overturn the rules we could have a new leader in and change things and then they have this poll and they have said, our party is dead, brexit is killing us on the doorstep, should theresa may design?

is it potentially a trap for the labour party? me of the blame. party? if there is a no—deal brexit, labour gets some of the blamelj think labour gets some of the blame.” think theresa may will see it as a trap, the labour party and the general public will see what happens. essentially, theresa may is asking jeremy corbyn to come in. if she doesn't offer anything, if it is purely a pr exercise, labour will be very open about that. the public have very little trust in theresa may at the moment, and a big issue that we have now is that may wants to extend article 50 to the 22nd of may so she doesn't have to go through european elections, but europe were very clear at the weekend that the only circumstances under which they would extend article 50 is if theresa may had a way forward, and the two main ways forward we re a way forward, and the two main ways forward were a general election or a confirmatory vote, and labour have been pushing for the confirmatory vote, so i think europe will push as well and theresa may then has to acce p

so why is the labour party getting involved? why not become a remain party?o parliamentary majority, it makes sense to reach out rather than keeping your arms folded. a lot of the people behind or she has relied on, the erg and dup have tried to knife or in the back. it is right that we do this. if you are at home and watching this process and we are hearing that the mps are suggesting the compromise is not as good as the status quo, and on the other side of course you have those who suggest the only way to get the people what they want us to have a no—deal brexit. mps like you then say the sort of compromise we are looking for will not be anywhere near enough, it is like, why bother?” will put this to theresa may who i am going to see myself at 2:30pm, because she did a dear colleague letter to all mp5. i took her up on her invitation to the chamber and saidl her invitation to the chamber and said i will meet you. if she gets do through, the liberal party could agree to it if she attaches a confirmatory referendum on the end of it. some of these things are n

and she was very strong aboutjeremy labour party and she was very strong about jeremy corbyn, labourutjeremy corbyn, she said that she felt people in thejewish community were frightened about the idea thatjeremy corbyn could come into power. i challenged her on that when i spoke to her later, but she is adamant she does not feel the labour party are taking those moves. the liver party has said they take anti—semitism extremely seriously and it is something that they are addressing, as we have heard from chamois trucker party and several other labour mps today. so they were addressing that but also generally there were people of groups trying to find positive ways to go forward rather than just finding criticisms at the moment. the boat race is underway this afternoon and james cracknell is set to become the old est cracknell is set to become the oldest person to take part. the women's race took place earlier this afternoon with cambridge winning for the third year in a row. commentator: now the smiles can begin, what a victory for cambridge, oxford still coming towards the finish, fo

you have pushed her into the arms of the labour party instead.he labour party instead. i think thatis the labour party instead. i think that is rather exaggerated tour, if i may say so. the prime minister does not get pushed around. the prime minister has negotiated remarkably ineffectually. and now she has gone trotting off tojeremy corbyn a week before she said he was dangerous and unfit to lead the country. you cannot hold up individual and obscure backbenchers for this. but from your point of view, surely the prime minister's deal as it was would be better than a deal that she came to withjeremy corbyn that would be maybe centred around a customs union.” corbyn that would be maybe centred around a customs union. i agree with that and that is why i voted for her deal last friday. ideal —— i still think it is a bad deal. i accept that point. it sounds like the talks may not be going that well, from what we can hear, between the government and the labour party. presumably, you would welcome that. you know better than i do, neitherjeremy corbyn n

labour. cross—party talks have been taking place to break the stalement on getting an agreement through parliament says further talks are planned, but said it was disappointing that there had not been any movement on the government's so—called "red lines". here's our political correspondent nick eardley. what does theresa may do in the coming days? another brexit deadline approaching, still no breakthrough in talks with labour. the prime minister now says continuing to delay our departure could mean it doesn't happen at all. in a statement, she said... the leader of the commons admits talks with the opposition are happening through gritted teeth, but she says now is the time to deliver. i just want to point out, we are out of time. we should have left on 29th march. on wednesday, european leaders will be here to decide whether to push brexit day back again. the government wants a few more weeks. european leaders have suggested an extension could be much longer, with the ability to get out early if parliament backs a deal. i would think the eu would want to have an extension. i would think they wou

within the labour party, there's a lot of controversy over whether they should be going for that clearhether they can actually deter labour voters, for people who perhaps voted for brexit in the referendum in 2016. so there are those who think labour should not be going down that road. clinics offering cosmetic surgery such as botox and fillers have said they'll introduce new checks to ensure vulnerable people are not sold unnecessary or damaging treatment. it follows a warning, from the nhs director of mental health services, that the cosmetic industry is doing too little to stop those with body image obsessions undergoing potentially harmful treatments. richard galpin reports. cosmetic procedures like botox injections and fillers are popular and easily available. notjust in clinics, but also in high street outlets. the nhs is concerned there's a link between young people's mental health and these kinds of procedures. 25% of youngsters are worried about their appearance, 50% are worried about their weight, and we know that the evidence is if you've got those concerns, if you are feeli

the labour party want to see a customs union with the eu. party, the government, are not keen on that idea because they think it would limit the uk's ability to brokered trade deals. thank you. meanwhile, labour's leader in the european parliament has urged the party to back another brexit referendum, or risk haemorrhaging votes in the european elections. richard corbett says labour would lose pro—eu voters to other parties, if its manifesto doesn't guarantee a public vote on any brexit deal. labour's present policy is to keep all options on the table — including pressing for a further referendum. teachers say there's increasing evidence that poverty is damaging the education of children in the uk. the national education union says more pupils are struggling because they come to school hungry or without a good night's sleep. sarah walton reports. overcrowding in homes so children do not have space to do homework. children attending school with no coats, no socks and without other essential items of clothing. most of my class arrive at school

the labour party isn't just happy accept labour's policies.our policies. as the honourable gentleman for holborn and st pancras has said, it takes compromise on both sides and that is what we're doing, sitting down seriously and finding a way that this house to ensure that there is a deal that commands a majority so that we can leave the european union, fulfilled the vote of the british people in 2016 in the referendum and do so in a way that does indeed protectjobs and living standards and industry. may i urge my write on more friend the prime minister to stick to her commitment to lead the country through to the conclusion of the brexit process and to ignore some of the vicious attacks being made upon her by her more extreme right—wing colleagues. can i also asked her, given that she rightly points out in the national interest that the next obvious step is to reach a settlement between the government and the principal opposition party on the best way forward, can she indicate that it is clear that the minimum that requires is some sort of cu

a crunch 72 hours ahead for that relationship between the conservatives and the labour party if they get a breakthrough. some speculation today that she might be prepared to offer some sort of lock. labour are worried if they get a deal and she has not prime minister, someone like borisjohnson is suddenly prime minister, he could pick apart the whole thing if there is a compromise agreement and the government offering a parliamentary lock. the problem is there are two parts to any brexit deal, the withdrawal agreement, the thing so many people have been angry about so far, legally binding, cannot be changed, international treaty. if the house of commons does approve it. the second part is the political declaration which is basically a broad set of intentions for the future relationship. it is that part that the eu has said it might change, it is that part labour are trying to influence by having something like a customs union, but it is not legally binding, so there isa it is not legally binding, so there is a fear within some of the labour party and other parties too that a future c

in the indicative votes so far it has been the labour party moving towards a softer brexit and most ofs trying to bring the house together. is there time? she's saying she's reaching out tojeremy time? she's saying she's reaching out to jeremy corbyn and time? she's saying she's reaching out tojeremy corbyn and talking to the commons, who haven't coalesced around any majority. no, and the next bit big deadline is the 10th of april when the eu is meeting to decide whether to extend the uk's membership. she needs to have completed the process and to have got a clear and coherent offer that she wants to take to the eu. this is theresa may presumably accepting publicly that c isn't going to get the dup and conservative party members to support her deal. that seems to be the case. she made the point that they withdrawal agreement as negotiated would need to be part of any deal that is approved. that's what mps voted on on friday when the government separated the declaration and the withdrawal agreement and it was still rejected. whether she gets support for that as part of a different deal

what impact could those elections have on the conservative party and the labour party, and could theyer parties like the independent group now, and the brexit party? generally speaking, and this is notjust in the uk, european parliament elections have long been considered second order elections, it is, you know, what we really care about is the general election, and we will use this election to kind of get back to national government or to promote parties and politicians that might not make it into the national parliament. so it will be interesting to see how that pans out, will we see a surging anti—european candidates taking up seats injuly? anti—european candidates taking up seats in july? or will anti—european candidates taking up seats injuly? or will it be a serge of pro european candidates? everything remains to be seen, i think. -- everything remains to be seen, i think. —— it's ouch. everything remains to be seen, i think. -- it's ouch. is david laws m, think. -- it's ouch. is david laws in, all the big questions remain unanswered, so where will an answer come from, or will n

this is the labour party position. t this because they think it would hamper their ability to do trade deals. i can't have a preferential trade deal with the us, those goods coming here if i'm in a customs union, how do the eu know those goods are not going to end up in the rest of the eu? the customs union is a big sticking point. the other sticking point is what we put any deal to a confirmatory vote, if you like, a second referendum really? another referendum. even in the tory party, very deeply split. lippe hammond last night said he thought it was a credible proposal. matt hancock, one of the senior cabinet members said he was very, very opposed to that deal. so you have big divisions on the customs union on the two sides. —— phillip hammond. and even in the cabinet on the idea of putting whatever the deal is to a confirmation vote. deep divisions in the tory party. and in the meantime, simon, if we are looking at a further 12 months of brexit uncertainty, where does that leave uk business, international business,

it would be hard to get through because it would divide the labour party... 25 labour mps wrote to himy and the prime minister knows that very well. you would have splits on either side and you would have with mps and they say it is feeling. all over. all over and everywhere so it is not clear, even cabinet a split on whether or not there should be a second referendum. we got to the prime minister and leader of the 0pposition who are united in the country‘s view of them which is the unpopular view of them. their personal ratings, we understand the results a couple minutes ago, this is theresa may, 65% dissatisfied with 29% satisfied. a big negative rating there. let‘s look atjeremy corbyn, the leader of the 0pposition. can we show that chart coming up as well, there we go. he has 50 percentage point negative rating and he is normally, leaders of the opposition do better and can do what they want to do. 70% dissatisfied and 20% satisfied and it is clear that the british public is not too enamoured ofjeremy corbyn or of theresa may in the current climate. why doesjeremy corbyn have a 50%

after around 100 mps and meps wrote a letter calling for the party to promise a public vote on any brexit deal. jeremy corbyn has said that labour'sion on tuesday. it's important that the party, which is a democratic party structure, makes those decisions. sadly, or perhaps it's a good thing, i'm not a dictator of the labour party. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is here. iain, why has labour changed its election leaflets at short notice? asi as i understand it, the leaflets we re as i understand it, the leaflets were about to be posted out and had to be recalled because they made no mention of a referendum at all. this outraged some of the party's most senior mps so the leaflets are now being changed to say they would back the option of a referendum in order to avoid what they see as a bad tory brexit deal. this does not go near far enough for the mps who have signed a letter who say they want to have a confirmatory ballot, yes, referendum, on any deal, even one negotiated byjeremy corbyn. this has to be hammered out by the ruling nec on tuesday for labour, when they are drawing up the manifesto, and if i was are drawing

(corbyn leaving his house) what does the recording tell us aboutjeremy what does the recording tell us about jeremy corbyn and what do

beginnings of a realignment of british politics, because i think if the conservatives and the labour party one of the largest votes in british history, you get a brexit party and this new change uk party, that's pro remain, that's emerged from both labour and the tory parties, doing incredibly well in those european elections. we always use the word crisis and unprecedented, but these really are extraordinary times. the european elections will be exactly that if they are held in britain, remain against brexit. there's no getting away from that. so in a way it is a second referendum in its own right? it will be like a protest vote because there will be no instrument at the end of it for any of the remain meps and brexit meps to change anything. i think the turnout will be high. but it won't be the same turnout that we had with the european referendum in 2016. normally, we are talking about 35% to 40%. it would match the general election turnout. it would be a massively highly—charged campaign. and yet that thought will be concentrating hq for both major parties, steve. i think both major pa

after around 100 mps and meps wrote a letter calling for the party to promise a public vote on any brexit deal. jeremy corbyn has said that labour'scide the party's position on tuesday. because it is important that the party, which is a democratic party structure, makes those decisions. sadly — or perhaps it's a good thing — i'm not a dictator of the labour party. the headlines on bbc news... one person has died and several others injured after a gunman opened fire at a synagogue in california. sri lankan security forces have detained the wife and child of the man believed to be the mastermind behind the wave of bomb attacks on easter sunday. the home office is being investigated after they revoked the visas of thirty thousand foreign students over claims they cheated in an english language exam. after two seasons away, norwich are back in the premier league. they beat blackburn 2—1 to secure promotion — marco stiepermann with their opener. and moments later, they had a second — a stunning strike from mario vrancic. blackburn got one back but norwich hung on seal promotion. they move 3 points clear at the top and will be crowned c

that is what everyone has been talking about for a long time in terms of the split between the labour partybefore we saw the independent group make their move was that there was going to be schism in the party they we re really going to be schism in the party they were really going to throw their toys out if the labour party did not move towards that second referendum position and talks that the likes of tom watson who i suspect is still trying to manoeuvre his party within a party. was not present at the talks which is instrumental of itself. there's so much attention on the chasm of the conservative party and less attention on labour and they can fudge their way through the local elections in the european parliamentary elections, maybe with a bit of damage in terms of at the end of the independent group or the lib dems, but they have a deal that u nfortu nately between lib dems, but they have a deal that unfortunately between them, my curiosity is what happens after that? there is constant chatter about labour sounding more positive about labour sounding more positive about doing some kin

it is pretty toxic for both parties. labour don't want to be seen parties. referendum. for the tories, their party members are unhappy and think it is giving credibility tojeremy corbyn, not a man that they like, of course. one thing we know for certain is that on wednesday there will be an emergency eu summit. theresa may has asked for a short delay to brexit, which would mean we would not leave without a deal next friday, but it is up to eu leaders. they might say no altogether, or more likely, they might say we could have a much longer delay. the question is, what do you do with that time? ultimately, parliament needs to make a decision at some point, so if the talks break down with labour, theresa may has offered a series of binding votes to try to find out if there is anything mps can agree on. they have voted against a lot of things, but not in favour of anything. we don't know when those votes would be held or what the options would be for mps — an awful lot of uncertainty, and thatis an awful lot of uncertainty, and that is because the government are

, saying labour cannot just the labour party, saying labour cannotjust sit the labour party, sayingrty, saying labour cannotjust sit on the fence if the labour party, saying labour cannot just sit on the fence if they wa nt to cannot just sit on the fence if they want to compete with the brexit party which may take labour votes and so they have another side of things but on the other side, shallow cabinet members actually think it would make more sense for the party not to commit to another referendum so it is a difficult position for the party to be in but in terms of their official edition they did say that if no deal was done, if a general election cannot be sparked, everything would be on the table, including the idea of a confirm a tree recommended, but it isa confirm a tree recommended, but it is a key sticking point, a leaflet went out earlier in the week where the labour party did not mention another referendum and it is something a lot of mps think needs to be on the table, needs to be a clear message and felt was not clear enough so a of pressure on the labour leader. than

and so, is this founded or spinning against the labour party?think is interesting is the party talks are going to continue next week, despite mps now being allowed to go on holiday and i think back to stand up to 2am the other day and watching the presidents, and when president tusk said did not waste this time to our british friends. what will they do at this extra time? it seems to me... the question is are they serious about it at all? it also the way to actually go to cap in hand for the united kingdom and to brussels to say, look, we are reaching out. but it is notjust in the uk when you corner and election, you lose a majority, you are a minority party. at the united kingdom does not have the experience and the reality of the coalitions. because backbench mps have been working together, it's one of the striking things around the house of commons stop loosing these different groups working together but that two front is much harderfor them. groups working together but that two front is much harder for them. they came together before they're

i wonder if the labour party would take a more relaxed attitude toward that. at this point in time, which he has indicated this evening is the conservative party is not capable internally of finding compromise. as a result, to get some sort of a deal over the line, she needs the mps on the other side of the house of commons, namely the labour party, to get a deal through. basically, i think she has reached the end of the road with her own conservative party. she has agreed to step down after the brexit process has been completed. in some ways, as soon as this happens, she is done. had alreadyur objected to her withdrawal agreement, so it will be interesting to see how she plans on getting around that with labored to get it to a fourth vote. also interesting to see the dup reaction, also if there will be more resignations. are we getting any response from i thinkuestion guy: europe will try to play this one coolly at this stage. as you have indicated, there is a strong sense from around europe, and you mentioned the irish response earlier, that any kind of delay

i put for the view from the labour party tempe wanted to achieve a customs union and the european uniono have access to market and in particular, we discussed the dynamic that guarantees a minimum of particularly environment as well as consumer and employment rights. we did have a discussion about all of that. this will continue tomorrow. when you look into the prime minister's eyes, was she serious about doing across party deal? she invited us to the meeting, and i accept that the meeting to go there and sets out rvus. she did put out the government's view, but the whole thing seems to be pinned on us i think that withdrawal agreement that has been put forward at the present time. clearly, that has to be taken together with the feature of the political arrangement declaration. we spent time discussing that in the future of future trade agreements. did you are your side raise policy on public vote? yes, this is the policy of our party that wants an option of the public vote to prevent crashing out or prevent leaving on a bad deal. there was no agreement reached on that, wejust bad deal.
