he is a donor of some importance, basically saying michael gove would doa basically saying michael goveh betterjob. he is then she can't carry brexit through. i understand the frustration of those donating to the conservative party and who want brexit happen because things are taking a long time, there are delays. it is so confusing right i'iow are delays. it is so confusing right now for members of the public to understand where we are headed with brexit. so donors are now talking out. i don't know if michael gove would be the best replacement. i don't know if he would be voted on by members. i think the situation with borisjohnson from by members. i think the situation with boris johnson from a few years ago when he went for the leadership oi'i ago when he went for the leadership on the same day... hasn't been forgotten. not at all and it was savage. i don't think conservative party members want michael gove at the top of the party. interestingly stoner does? i don't know what his relationship with michael gove is but it does smack of one guy helping out a powell. i have never heard o

interesting reading for michael gove, though.st because form we move on, i want to draw your attention to the other front—page

leading the observer is an interview with a london hedge fund manager, crisp he is saying that michael govef the conservatives and theresa may is not carrying brexit through and in a shoe really needs to be swapped and gove was the right person for the job —— crispin odie. he isa person for the job —— crispin odie. he is a brexit supporting diana, the la st he is a brexit supporting diana, the last donation he gave was £50,000 before the general election. —— donor. he is causing trouble, it will not be happy reading for theresa may, the conservative party has to listen carefully to its donors, the way that the party is structured. he makes a good point that there is unhappiness within the conservative party each theresa may's leadership. this feeling about people within, figures within political parties, how many members, senior members, of the conservative party do you think would back michael gove given all we know about him and boris johnson? some years ago? him and boris johnson? some years ? i him and boris johnson? some years ago? i think the political knifing of borisjohnson a ago? i

michael gove was presented with a summary michael gove was presented with a summary around this reallyents after brexit. most of the people on the subcommittee are sceptical about this idea of a new customs partnership, which is favoured by the prime minister. the summary was presented by civil servants for him to look at. he looked at it and felt he did not accurately reflect his deep skepticism about this particular model, which he thinks will be too bureaucratic diplomat. that's one of the models, the other one is called maximum facilitation, that's the one brexiteers seem to prefer? this is the other option being discussed. this is broadly favoured by brexiteers, but the subcommittee of senior ministers who are looking at it has a more remained bent to it, people who had advocated to remain during the referendum. they have been looking at that, michael gove and his collea g u es at that, michael gove and his colleagues have been looking at the other option, and we are now in the countdown towards the next big moment coming up on friday. this checkers meeting taking place on friday

it says she should be replaced by michael gove!apparently made a lot of money on the night of the brexit vote, because he bet that the markets would fall. despite being in favour of brexit he thought it would be very bad for the pound. so he made a killing. and now he is saying that theresa mayjust isn't cutting it. not hardline it's time to get a true believer like michael gove in the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone the prime ministers place. whether you regard someone like that as a credible and authoritative source of advice and whatnot... so many people said that theresa may should be replaced with someone or other when people were not sure she could last days or weeks or months but she is still here. these stories come out regularly, yet she keeps on in there. people will find it hard to forget that michael gove is doing a good job as environment secretary with stories on plastics making the news but he ran for leader on the same day as borisjohnson news but he ran for leader on the same day as boris johnson

michael gove was presented with this summary michael gove was presented with this summary of his workingreally thorny issue of the customs arrangement after brexit. most of the people on his subcommittee are sceptical about this idea of a new customs partnership which is favoured by the prime minister. the summary was favoured by the prime minister. the summary was presented by it civil serva nts summary was presented by it civil servants for him to look at. he looked at it and felt it didn't accurately reflect his deep scepticism about this particular model, which he thinks would be too bureaucratic to implement. so that is one of the models. the other is called maximum facilitation, or maxfac, for sure. that is the one brexited prefer? dilemma yes, maximum facilitation is broadly favoured by brexiteers, but the sub committee of ministers looking at it has a more remain bent to it, people who had advocated remain during the referendum, so they have been looking at that. michael gove and his colleagues have been looking at this other option and we are in this countdown now, as we always

it's emerged that the environment secretary, michael gove, tore up a report on theresa may's preferredith the eu. he was said to be livid when presented with the document, as it wrongly suggested his brexit working group had agreed the plan was viable. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, told me more about what had happened. michael gove was presented with this summary of his working groups discussions around this really thorny issue of the customs arrangement after brexit. most of the people on his subcommittee are sceptical about this idea of a new customs partnership which is favoured by the prime minister. the summary was presented by civil servants for him to look at. he looked at it and felt it didn't accurately reflect his deep scepticism about this particular model, which he thinks would be too bureaucratic to implement. so that is one of the models. the other is called maximum facilitation, or maxfac, for short. that is the one brexiteers prefer? yes, maximum facilitation, a reliance on technology, is broadly favoured by brexiteers, but the subcommittee of ministers look

listen to michael gove. someone that has brought the market more to our education system, talking about capitalism. there is an issue here. but that perpetuate lots of myths about the economy. the truth is that first, every economy is essentially a mix. right now we have too much of the market. in places the profit motive is unhelpful. in our health service, for instance, in instances of carillion, secondly, the tories are applying the public sector in the wrong places. justine greening said today that what we are doing with the third runway is bringing the risks to the public and the taxman will take all of the gain. we have the public sector applied in the wrong places. the conservatives are muddling it up. i think the government is doing a lot to make the market work for people tatlower end. it is bringing in the national living wage and adds £5,000 to wages. controlling fuel duty and council tax, that is why we are seeing incomes at the bottom end growing. these have been interventions in the market, but

friction we have seen from the likes of borisjohnson, michael gove and lots of other brexiteers by the david davis again was another example. why should remainers not be around a table? 48% of the country voted to remain stuck with this is 48% of the country voted to remain. this is something that does feed have got a hold of. they need to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. he described it as allowing the dog, which is an extra ordinary way for british foreign minister to describe ireland. he also warns in this there could be brexit precipitating a meltdown and we just have to be comparing to do with a meltdown. you know, not great things for the foreign secretary... strong language. but listen. the reason this is being prolonged is there is a section of levers in the cabinet. there is a fundamentalist wing of people who voted leaf who do not wa nt people who voted leaf who do not want anything other than the exact vision of birth they had in mind. they can't have it! there is no constituency for it in the parliament, not in the public. the

michael gove, well, of course. jeremy hunt, gavin williamson.johnson, you want what he is up to. he does get a photograph. —— you wonder. and they are getting together groups of mps the sandwich lunches or rounds of coffee in the house of commons. they should do more lavish dinners, think. that is interesting. it plays into how much these cabinet ministers are being outspoken, just as theresa may is trying to bring them together and get some discipline as she tries to get some discipline as she tries to get them to agree on one of the options going forward when it comes to customs arrangement. well, when they end up in chequers on friday it will be like children in school detention rather than a school party, with a teacher completely out of control. really, after gavin williamson threatened to bring her down alosio £20 billion for the health service like defence, he should have been fired. —— bring her down unless he got £20 billion. there is this idea of cabinet responsibility breaking down. michael gove apparently ripping up reports. it seems

we had liz truss, publicly mocking michael gove over some of his environment policies.until she was shunted out. exactly, mocking him in what some say was just a joke and others thinking it is strange to see cabinet colleagues mocking each other on policy areas. savage avid among others making it clear they want more money for their departments —— sajid javid. and now we hear, albeit from a private event, that michael gove, who had been given the task, as had other members of the cabinet, exploring different options for the customs relationship with the eu, and the customs partnership favoured by theresa may, this model he does not think will work, thinking it will make it harder to do business and when the report from his subcommittee came through it seemed to him it made it sound it was workable, which she did not believe, said in response he ripped it up. this is the sort of stuff normally that stays private. unless someone else in the meeting leaked it. even then we would contact him to ask if it was true, contact his people. normally they would not discuss these th

thank you, it will be interesting to see if michael gove decides to talk about trusses.eral muslim—majority countries. the 5—4 ruling by the conservative majority gives president trump a big victory and, for the time being, ends a fight in the lower courts over whether the policy represented an unlawful ban on muslims. the president praised the supreme court's decision. today's supreme court ruling, just coming out, a tremendous success, a tremendous victory for the american people, and for our constitution. this is a great victory for our constitution. we have to be tough, and we have to be safe, and we have to be secure. at a minimum, we have to make sure that we vet people coming into the country, we know who's coming in, we know where they're coming from. we just have to know who's coming here. the ruling shows that all of the attacks from the media and the democrat politicians are wrong, and they turned out to be very wrong. and what we're looking for as republicans, i can tell you, is strong borders, no crime. what the democrats are looking at is open borders, whic

i have had lives coming out against michael gove making a speech about his plan to ban them calling themfinest. we have had greg clark the secretary coming out in siding with big businesses saying their rights to be concerned about brexit. we had jeremy hunt suggesting that airbus was overplaying its hand. he's interesting character because he is a remainer now appealing to the brexit fan base because like many people use on maneuvers. will be back there at 11:30pm with more of the details for the papers. i will be back with all the headlines and news at 11. hello. it's all getting a little hot for you a few more days to go yet. we started the week with temperatures above 30 degrees the southeast corner of england. the return of northwest wales and england where he achieved 31 celsius and just outside. tomorrow could be the turn of scotland and northern ireland with another 30 degrees day as the warm air continues to push its way northwards and west. still have high pressure in charge. winds flowing around taking a warm air and the same time in the centre of our high—pressure system wind

it is, we have been talking about grade inflation for as long as we can remember and to michael gove'sredit he tried to do something about it. we have this new 1-9 something about it. we have this new 1—9 system, eight and nine are the new a star, a grades, everything below that gets a bit murky for me and i'm sure universities and employers might feel the same way. 200 pupils will achieve a clean sweep of the top grade which is a dramatic drop. back when i was doing mine it seemed quite easy to get and pgy- mine it seemed quite easy to get and pay. we are turning over a bit of stone about whether top grades are easier than they used to be and they will get shouted down whatever we say. restricting the top grade to one tenth of the number at the moment is quite a dramatic change. what, what really irritates me about this change and has irritated me from the start is the way they've changed the numbers, change the letters for the numbers and turned the numbers upside down. you and i robert barr old enough to remember when all levels were numbers and thenit when all levels were numbers a

i think this fits in again with the peace we started within the observer about michael gove being a better leader than theresa may, another massive dig at theresa may, another massive dig at theresa may's leadership. i think to say your own party is very, very lazy will be seen as hugely disloyal. i don't think priti patel... she got away with it when chicle gum the nasty party. from a position of power. —— when she called them a nasty party. position of power. —— when she called them a nasty partyi position of power. —— when she called them a nasty party. i don't think priti patel will have a bunch of cheerleaders around her saying, great interview, that's how we all feel right now. it highlights the divisions in the party, notjust an brexit. it highlights massive unhappiness. and divisions in the labour party as well. because there hasn't been a great deal of domestic policy, i don't think conservatives have been able to project their ideas very well, everything is tied up ideas very well, everything is tied up with brexit. i think she is highlighting a bit of a stagnation in the party i

all of a sudden michael gove says, we can have that farming subsidies.e, which is what they seem to have done here, it isjust which is what they seem to have done here, it is just a complete shift in their political viewpoint. some people will say this is just running after labour. labour promises to borrow money, we will borrow more. is this fiscally responsible? some people would say it isn't. this brexit event, the different amounts that have been mentioned in different papers, i wonder if russell ‘s new about this. —— brexit dividend. when anybody suggests that this is what is going to happen, it has not been done before and we have i'io has not been done before and we have no idea. it is back to the telegraph. this is following on from the billy caldwell story. the government is set to review medical cannabis after sajid javid stepped in today. a no—brainer, wasn't it? it was. we saw that clip of charlotte caldwell saying no other family should ever have to go through this. she shouldn't have had to go through this. she absolutely should not have. t

leading eurosceptics including borisjohnson and michael gove argued that the eu referendum was aboutiding who should be allowed to enter the uk rather than slashing numbers. i hope everyone who voted for brexit was aware of that. let's talk about the express because they have got this interesting story about the numbers victory for workers' rights and what it means for the gig economy. talk us through this and why it's such an important case. drew the numbers of staff —— self in our country are greater today than they have ever been. in modern times. and there are implications here of course notjust for the self—employed and those for whom they choose to work in some cases specifically but also for the tax authorities it would seem to me. but, gary smith had worked solely for this company, posh plumbers of tells me. for six years, the uk's highest court has ruled after an appeal he was entitled to workers' rights despite being registered and being self employed tax. that includes things like holiday and sick pay. that is a very significant numberfor sick pay. that is a very significa

i think michael gove plays it well, setting a clear policy without attacking the prime minister, andl overturning the prime minister's decision. regarding the customs agreement regarding brexit, what chances do you think there are of having... kicking the can down the road works toa certain kicking the can down the road works to a certain extent, the party is clearly split on what sort of brexit we have, and i have a huge amount of sympathy for the prime minister's position, trying to unify the two wings of the party, and we need to have a clear position, but the crucial point is that it takes to liz truss tangle. on the one hand we cannot as the prime minister to come toa cannot as the prime minister to come to a decision on brexit, but not as senior members of the parliament to say, when we have decided as a collective, this is how we're going to approach it, i will unite behind that and will not use 4000 word speeches to torpedo the policy. this morning the leader of the conservatives in the welsh assembly has resigned. it seems he may have been the latest victim of tory infighting

i expect liam fox, borisjohnson, michael gove, they all signed up to it.e will be some agonisings over wording here and there. what if the eu just rejects it? then you have to get into proper negotiations where you actually talk about things of substance. at some point the british and had to take a position on, for example, the northern irish border, customs, and that position... interestingly enough, the immigration rules after brexit, the interim period, the transition period, that is actually still, that is still being kicked down the road by cabinet. we will not talk about that until september, we are told. the irish border we should find out about on friday. they have to crystallise at some point. time is running out. they thought it was as easy as that. a couple of nhs stories knocking about. i referred when we went through them earlier about non—essential operations. and now ivf services, a number of 11.5%... down from 60% last year. —— ivf services, a number of 11.5%... down from 60% last year. “16%. this is tragic for people relying on it and hopi

michael gove was said to be "livid" when presented with the document as it wrongly suggested his brexit agreed that the plan was viable. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent chris mason this is the latest case study in the breakdown of collective responsibility. that notion that people are at a cabinet table who throughout the ages have been a collection of people with different views. but in public, they present a united front. and we have seen loads of exa m ples recently, united front. and we have seen loads of examples recently, notjust on theissue of examples recently, notjust on the issue of brexit, but spending where cabinet members have been publicly contradict each other. that relative lack of authority that the prime minister has, you can trace that back to the last election result, and all the rest of it. what this is about is the specific row right at the heart of the brexit conundrum, which is what is being done by customs and what happens on the border between northern ireland and the republic? a couple of months ago, the prime minister thought she found a way of

at two, after suggestions that collective responsibility has collapsed, michael gove reminds us all hisso therefore... i am just michael. and at one, world cup fever hits the commons as tory mp scott mann says what the whole nation is thinking. mr speaker, clearly, football's coming home and england are making excellent progress. jack fenwick with our countdown. you may never have heard of them, but changing places toilets are a specialist lose for people with severe disabilities. what is special about them is that they are equipped with adult size changing tables and hoists an opinion of wheelchairs and carers. campaigners say they are needed by 250,000 people in the uk. a labour mp polisher plus the labour board to change. so it has to be provided to new public buildings. she told us to detriment of candidates. they told me about the indignity they feel when they're out and about. it could be they're shopping, or they are out for the day with the family. don't have the facilities that are fit for purpose for their needs so it may be that they are disabled, potentially in a wheelchair

as it were then about the liberal it is divided isn't it between a small number boris johnson michael gove may be although he looks a bit coin a phrase perfidious if you ask me. and probably one or two others and on the other side you've got. you've got a bulk of weight of remains and i think she is trying to navigate a path in my reading of she and i admire this i mean it's a very major thing breaks there are car workers in the northeast of england you want to keep them in their jobs you want to keep those car plants going that the european markets working she's under enormous attack from the. six years for the wanting to do the deal with your but i think she's actually being quite sensible but it's about four high wire act as a time in any point they opposition could unite behind a killer amendment and then the prime minister's position would be untenable and that actually would have happened by now in my reading of the situation but for the fact that labor is more committed to break see the labor leadership to be more exact is much more committed to breaks it than the conservatives and

instance, here is the number two at the treasury, liz truss, mocking the environment is secretary, michael goven we are told we are thinking too much. maybe that's just me. eating too many doughnuts or enjoying the warm glow of our wood—burning goves. i mean stoves. at that point there is a lot of hot air that emerges. then there is borisjohnson, who arrived back at heathrow yesterday after ducking a vote on the airport's expansion. he has not denied using very blunt language to criticise concerns from businesses about brexit. colleagues have not been impressed. this is usually important to us and i don't think anybody should be dismissive but this was, as i understand it, a throwaway remark at a drinks reception and probably not wise but i wouldn't read any more into it than that. and of course brexit divides the cabinet. theresa may will try to hammer out its differences at a meeting next week. differences jeremy corbyn tried differences at a meeting next week. differencesjeremy corbyn tried to export at prime minister's questions. isn't the truth that the real risk tojobs in our questions. i

there are lots of difficulties because you have people like borisjohnson michael gove wanting this tommins and greg clark perceived to be frustrating brexit. and on the other side, this isa brexit. and on the other side, this is a multisided, it is almost like the concept of collective responsibility had finally been put ina bin responsibility had finally been put in a bin and this has all come out. it has been very, very rapid. airbus came out and so be careful because there are thousands and thousands of jobs at risk you. we then have the foreign secretary talking about f business, you then have greg clark saying we need to listen to business. tonight, it had the cbi and tuc, representing barca the different interest, but they come together at this time, saying we are in difficulty, people's livelihoods at at stake and are being played with because of politics. somebody was saying he will not lie in front ofa was saying he will not lie in front of a bulldozer but he will lie in front of the bus and i think...m is interesting as well with the whole playing politics, we can talk about

i think the chief secretary's role reminds me of hermione granger and michael gove as possibly harryeads together but i would take it in that vein and not too seriously. do you think she has a point about the nanny state, banging on about the environment and that maybe it doesn‘t mean that much to people. i think it means a lot to people, but we have to make sure the key priorities are about skills. that housing and the national health service and that is why i welcome the government 20 million announcement for the health service. the idea of ministers speaking out, they seem to be doing it more openly whether it is about borisjohnson saying that the business community should not speak out about brexit because it undermines negotiation. the conservatives still the party business? i don't want to take the harry potter thing to barber he is a bit like ron weasley. there will always be things said offstage but let's look at the substance where the party has cut business taxes, created millions ofjobs and creative apprenticeships. that is what it means. are we creating a skilled and appr

market, the government's own analysis — this is analysis produced for the likes of borisjohnson, michael gove businesses will take a huge hit. the price of petrol rose last month at the fastest rate for 18 years. figures from the rac show that rising global oil prices helped put up fuel costs by nearly 6p a litre in may, with the average price of petrol reaching 129.ap a litre. average diesel prices rose to just over 132p a litre. the rac says higher crude oil prices and a weaker pound are to blame. a 50—year—old man has been killed and two others have been seriously injured after a shooting at a boxing club in the irish republic. it happened at bray boxing club in county wicklow, which is run by the father of the olympic gold medallist katie taylor. he was one of the two men who were wounded. h&m clothes sizes are to become biggerfollowing complaints from customers. for years, shoppers have criticised the high street chain, saying that when they try on its clothes, the sizes are much smaller than expected. but today, the swedish store said it is changing its sizing to bring it in line with s

if michael gove becomes prime minister, what happens to the pound?ot get on first of politics. soft or hard brexit? hard brexit here and about the reason, they are upset about the customs union and want to have an election to change that and get a majority, and they believe that the current leadership's fall for why conservatives are not upholding high enough. this is because of the risk of jeremy corbyn winning the election. the hard labor left. and uncertainty. chancesjeremy corbyn's were low, sterling goes down because investment will be on the side when you have an election. sterling always suffers in that environment. francine: services pmi figures, the services sector grew more than forecast -- more than forecast in may and the economy is in modest recovery. does that influence brexit negotiations? >> it does not. did you about banking and raising rates this year is still intact. q1, not globally but mostly in europe. u.k. suffered as a result with a week q1 figure. we need the numbers to rebound. to bring the rate path back into line. august i

michael gove was said to be "livid" when presented with the document, as it wrongly suggested his brexitgreed that the plan was viable. to tell us more, our political correspondent chris mason joins me. i was going to say ripping it up after he reading it is symbolic, but he didn't! there is no dispute that he didn't! there is no dispute that he ripped it up, his team confirmed it happen. what it demonstrates is the two fundamental truths, neither of which are surprising. the first is which there are vast divisions within the cabinet on brexit —— brexit. the second of which is this is the latest case today in the breakdown of collective responsibility. that notion that people around the cabinet table who throughout the ages and across the political parties have always been a collection of people with differing views. but in public, they present a united front. we have seen loads of polls recently not on just brexit, but on spending, where pap —— cabinet members have been publicly contradicting one another. that's piece to the relative lack of authority that the prime minister has, tracin
