they could maybe live with michael gove because he is a brexiteer.blem, nigel evans said, that he would not be drawn on whether his colleagues wanted him to make an intervention. you talk to people all the time in the cabinet. how much pressure is she under this coming week? intense pressure. every time somebody tries to help her, like her chief whip, she completely burns through her credibility, like in that speech. they have worked very ha rd in that speech. they have worked very hard to gently get labour mps on side and she bears that out with her speech. if you are thinking of backing her, and then theresa may if their speech, and you pick up your ball and go home, are you working on the national interest? you can make that on the labour side as well. but the speech was they misjudged and it wound up so many people, that you are sitting there going, there is only so much we can do, boss. we are giving you the ball two yards out, and somehow you get yourself sent off. 1 millionjoined and somehow you get yourself sent off. 1 million joined the and

this with the angle that michael gove would perhaps be a good choice. he could act as the caretaker. if the caretaker is not going to stand for prime minister in a leadership election, i am not sure michael gove would be keen to be a caretaker because he is likely to be one of the candidates. the home secretary tonight saying he's with a caretaker and would drop out of the race... would allow that to happen provided all the other major candidates also said the same thing. they can behave like clouds sometimes but a lot of negotiations between cabinet ministers just to get this particular thing sorted out so get this particular thing sorted out so it may not be coming quite as soofi so it may not be coming quite as 50011 as some so it may not be coming quite as soon as some of the papers are saved. in the times, a tweet saying could you have a situation where a caretaking prime minister is still in the country through these huge decisions. it is a good point but you would actually get to the point where you would then have probably a better reception in

michael gove's shorts?ive middle age politicians wearing such short shorts. when borisjohnson is wearing such short shorts. when boris johnson is out wearing such short shorts. when borisjohnson is out in the public eye and wants to get his picture in the papers always wears us most ridiculous. there was a story about the not very good running gear that senior mps seem to use and lovely dogs. quite a nice french door. and all the newspapers. a lot of product place and for the front. we will go to them in a minute. the last brexit story is about a nation of pill poppers. antidepressants use doubling ina poppers. antidepressants use doubling in a decade and brexodus, surprise surprise may be a factor. might be a factor yes. the serious story is about that increasing the use of antidepressants and i was to the today programme about or gps holding back on the type of treatment before people become addicted to that medication. that being said there is a warrant group of people across the concrete that are findin

ministers are reported to be split over whether brexiteer michael gove should take over — or mrs may'se—facto deputy, david lidington. the chancellor says a change won't help. to be talking about changing the players on the board frankly is self—indulgent at this time. we have to decide how we wanted to proceed. rescuers are airlifting hundreds of passengers and crew from a cruise ship, off the coast of norway. mozambican authorities say half a million people are affected by cyclone idai — the raf will fly out aid supplies today. the organ transplant service is at "breaking point", that's the warning from one of the uk s leading transplant surgeons. and in half an hour we'll bring you the highlights of a special week of coverage from bradford in west yorkshire, featuring the stories that matter most to the people of the city. senior conservatives say they've told theresa may that her brexit deal is more likely to be approved in a fresh commons vote — if she promises to step down. the prime minister is trying to win support for the agreement, which has twice been rejected. but she's alr

but their take on it, the plot is to install michael gove. are pushing for brexit within the cabinet? probably. the other thing is that you could have david liddington there and michael govein david liddington there and michael gove in some position as chancellor or home secretary, something like that. i think whatever happens, it needs to happen quickly. in the end, u nless needs to happen quickly. in the end, unless you have somebody who is fairly moderate, like orjeremy hunt, or philip hammond, are going to end up with the same group of people, like jacob rees—mogg, to end up with the same group of people, likejacob 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

michael gove was standing in for the prime minister, when her voice finally gave up. house of commons. people might scream at the television and say, why won‘t she compromise on this deal? if she reaches across and tries to do a deal with labour, she risks losing half of her party? also from the view from the tory front bench, compromise is different. why doesn't jeremy corbyn compromise? the tory front bench will say essentially the deal with the backstop is very, very close to what jeremy corbyn seems to be calling for. if the labour party would recognise that, we would have something to work with. that was the real head scratcher, keir starmer said, the legal text from the attorney general says we will be trapped in a customs union permanently and i thought, isn‘t that what labour wants? absolutely. that has been the interesting debate throughout and people who are closest to the government‘s position, is the official position of the labour party and the legal definition doesn‘t give them what they want but it is compatible with they want but it is compatible with

and there is all this talk about having an interim leader, whether it's david liddington or michael govesort of stuff. i think the prime minister, her departure is guaranteed in the short—term. it is not going to be long now so her departure is guaranteed. what is not guaranteed is her legacy and is her legacy going to be that she failed to deliver on the largest mandate that any government has been given to a referendum? or has she succeeded in doing that? she is either going to fail or succeed and that is going to be her legacy. she at least has got to be given the opportunity over the next few days to deliver that. joining me with more on this is our political correspondent, nick eardley. given that theresa may survived a vote of no confidence from her mps last year, she supposed to be safe for 12 months. how could they get rid of her? that mechanism for ousting the prime minister is gone. but the suggestion this morning is there is a growing feeling within there is a growing feeling within the cabinet and within the wider conservative party that the prime minister needs to go to and

we think dominic raab will stand, michael gove will stand, we think there will bea gove will stand, wewith those candidates trying to stop borisjohnson getting those candidates trying to stop boris johnson getting into those candidates trying to stop borisjohnson getting into the run—off, because they think once it happens it is an inevitability. henry, could you end up with sajid javid orjeremy hunt and then they brexiteer com a hard brexit to like borisjohnson or brexiteer com a hard brexit to like boris johnson or dominic brexiteer com a hard brexit to like borisjohnson or dominic raab? brexiteer com a hard brexit to like boris johnson or dominic raab? that is very possible. people might say that the conservative membership, which tend to be more eurosceptic than the parliamentary party, would then go for the brexiteer. i met someone then go for the brexiteer. i met someone today who want to david cameron back. you never know who you get. i don't think he is available. the whole cycle again! call another referendum! the last conservative leadership referendum was a complete mess. pe

in terms of michael gove.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, disconnect with british business, and she does not seem to get it, and i think that is one of the key things, whether you area one of the key things, whether you are a lever or a remain hour, she does not seem to be listening to anybody. the financialtimes does not seem to be listening

the paper also has a picture of michael gove in his shorts and with his dog, one of the favourites toe tory topjob, borisjohnson, he started his leadership campaign by meeting mps from across the conservative party — that's according to the i. the times says that eu officials could force the uk to extend brexit by another year if parliament does fail to approve the withdrawal agreement tomorrow. and, the sun asks the dup leader, arlene foster, to save brexit by persuading her party's 10 mps to back the prime minister's deal. there you are. that is bound up of the front pages. let's go through them ina the front pages. let's go through them in a little bit more depth with full analysis. john, talk is the daily mail, one last chance. is it the last chance? is theresa may's last chance. every last chance is the last chance and if it does not get through, is half loaf of bread, this half vote tomorrow, if it does go through, the predictions are that it won't but if it does go through, i think it does bring brexit closer byafairamount. i think it does bring brexit closer by a fair amount.

the early favourites, according to the bookies, are borisjohnson and michael gove, the two people who need, speaking as a conservative, i think part of the mistake that happened last time when theresa may was chosen, it was a very fast coronation. the tory party thought she was the moses of that moment and it turned out that when the general election came, she wasn't up to campaigning. what the conservative party needs, if it didn't have this pressing timetable, is a proper contest where we test all the candidates. i think if we had that testing process, both the big negatives of michael gove and boris johnson, would stop them becoming leader. the tories really need a candidate who can unify them and unify the nation afterwards. it is not clear to me, although i am open to be persuaded otherwise, that boris or michael gove can do that, and so you are looking at a candidate like jeremy hunt or sajid javid, although they are remainers, potentially coming through and winning this contest. with a little bit of detachment from this, do you look at this and feel this is the failure of an en

has highlighted of not leaving or is what michael gove has highlighted fanciful, that we are goingt? that today's debate. you must have been mulling that over in your own head, do you think the thought of fear is articulated by michael gove are realistic? i don't think they are likely to be realised at the moment. but there's always a risk of things going ina but there's always a risk of things going in a way that one would not want. i think the national mood would be so irritable in the event of brexit being stopped and the feeling that democracy was being denied and i note that none of the people really want us to remain, very few of them dare say so, they talk about delay and other things. it's hard to get from here to not leaving. listening to you just then and listening to the statements you and listening to the statements you and other brexiteers have made during the course of the past few weeks, it seems to me your stance is softened, there is no longer all this talk about being a vassal state and the colony. you are gradually, incrementally shifting to theresa may's positio

we mention to david liddington and the other name doing the rounds is michael gove, one of the campaigners is somebody who might be more palatable to some though i suspect not all brexiteers, also somebody who will be at that meeting at chequers this afternoon and in the last few minutes, he has also declared support for the prime minister. does the payments to have your support? absolutely, this is a time for a cool head, what we need is to focus on the task at hand to make sure we get the maximum support for the prime minister and make sure we get the maximum support forthe prime ministerand her make sure we get the maximum support for the prime minister and her deal, we need to make sure colleagues in cabinet and across the country recognise that in the course of this week, we have important decisions to make andl week, we have important decisions to make and i hope as many people as possible will recognise the best way of honouring the referendum mandate to make sure we leave in an orderly fashion is to support the pro—minister. fashion is to support the pro-minister. people are saying

two of those rumoured to be a potential caretaker replacement, michael gove and david lidington, havee prime minister. richard griffiths is corporate communications director at the global pr firm ketchum. we'll be looking at the international media headlines a little later, but for now let's focus on brexit. so, they have both said, david lidington and michael gove, when questioned by various people as they come and go, that they are behind theresa may, but there is a lot going on right now and it is a very important week ahead. the 25th of march today and the clock is ticking. yes, important weeks ahead, but this really is the key week and there is a lot going on. let's get specific for a moment. this morning, mps are set to decide whether to ta ke mps are set to decide whether to take control of the parliamentary agenda, allowing them to vote really on various ways forward, such as a soft brexit, a second referendum, and then who knows? maybe theresa may will bring back her withdrawal agreement for a third time to vote on it. there are a lot of permutations, a lot of options, and it

it was opened by michael gove.ned the debate. this house voted to give the people of this country a choice over whether or not we were to remain or leave the european union. 17.4 million people, a clear majority voted to leave. it is a mandate we must respect and an instruction we must deliver. it is also the case... just a minute. it is also the case that at the last general election both principal parties stood on manifestos which pledge them to deliver our departure from the european union. it is vitally important that we honour that manifesto promise, those instructions and our democracy. those outside this house who sent us here to act on their will and to deliver that mandate will take a very very dim view of those who seek to frustrate, deny or dilute the mandate that we were given. that was just part of the message delivered by michael gove. let‘s get the thoughts now of our chief political correspondent — vicki young — who is in central lobby. there has been a bit of change in the last error so in terms of

what michael gove said is that the uk will not weaken any environmental protections after brexit.would be allowing food m, idea that we would be allowing food in, that is produced to a lower standard. and it goes against what the government is trying to do here. we are on the cusp of some important reforms to agricultural policy, that would far from leaving the us as i think a museum of agriculture is what the ambassador said is about making agriculture fit for the future. to be sustainable and have food production into the twenty first century we need to do that in a way that is consistent with healthily, environmental processes. they can't be sprapted. -- separated. what do your members and environmental organisations and farmers think, do they think that there is a likelihood that the uk is going to cave in? on this point in order to secure that brexit deal? what is the feel something there is a huge amount of uncertainty. it depends on the power dynamics and what sort of relationship the uk agrees with the eu. if we stay in close co—operation with the eu, which we believe is a

so michael gove the conservative party. so michael g ove g ove the conservative party.t a second referendum, those who want a softer brexit, they will know they have limited time now to push it in that direction, and of course there will be people like nigel, plenty of them in the conservative party who don't want to tie anything down until the next person comes in. don't want to tie anything down untilthe next person comes in. so if we talk about the length of the process or what character might be, what, what was the question there? leoo there would be a tussle between the soft brexiteers and the ha rd between the soft brexiteers and the hard brexiteers to try and get you know, one side trying to tie it down now with mandating the government to do something going forward and the other side saying we don't want that because there is a new prime minister coming in there is frustration with the erg group in particular, how they have handled brexit, i think the party as a whole will give that group short shrift if they start to push forward a candidate, i think there is a

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

there is all this talk of having an interim leader, david lidington, michael gove, all that stuff.s guaranteed. what is not guaranteed is her legacy. it is her legacy going to be that you fail to deliver on the largest mandate that any government has been given through a referendum? 0r that any government has been given through a referendum? or has she succeeded in doing that? she will eitherfail succeeded in doing that? she will either fail or succeed and that will be her legacy. she has at least got to be given the opportunity over the next few days to deliver that. we will talk about that in a second but wednesday was the day when things really started to change. you had a meeting with your colleagues and you met the prime minister. what happened? by all met the prime minister. what happened ? by all accounts met the prime minister. what happened? by all accounts it was a pretty frank discussion, with calls for her to leave? it was totally frank. there was a meeting of four hours where you had the leaders of the minority parties, which david cameron walked out of, because chuka

environment secretary michael gove says it's time to back theresa may's deal. to change the captain of the ship. i think what we need to do is chart the right course, and the prime minister has charted that course by making sure we have a deal that honours the referendum mandate and allows us to leave in a way that means we can strengthen our economy and take advantage of life outside the eu. i'm nowjoined by yael selfin, who's a chief economist at kpmg. talking about operation yellowhammer, as it is known, government departments have no choice but to prepare for every single eventuality, including no deal. indeed, we don't know what is going to happen at the moment and it is important for governments and businesses to prepare for all of the potential scenarios. and that is extremely time—consuming, i know people within the civil service, within certain departments in government, working from 7am to 11pm every day. we could leave within a matter of weeks. indeed, it is possible preparations could have been done a bit earlier and started a bit earlier, but they

and other people, michael gove...e being touted, or were being touted in particular, they have come out today saying they don't want it and now was not the right time to change leader, but there was this theory and suggestion that they might be an immediate plot to get rid of theresa may right here and now. that seems to have gone off the boil, so that she can get her deal, or a deal of some sort of agreed, from the eu. and then to have a new prime minister in place. ok, is that straight? let's turn to the times. he thinks he has been completely exonerated. the department of justice set up this enquiry, to find out whether the president of the united states campaign colluded with the russian government. collusion is not a crime but it is something that needed to be investigated. the conclusion is that the president's campaign did not collude with the russian government, although 25 russians have been indicted, but they weren't part of this. so, he is clear there. the second issue was in terms of the obstruction ofjust

thinking of the likes of borisjohnson and some others, they might be thinking about something that michael gove ago, which is, ok, let's to this withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this isjust a withdrawal deal, this is not how life will be for the uk once it actually leaves the european union. this is just about this temporarily one or two year scenario. and then, once we get beyond this point, we have a leadership change within the conservative party, and actually then we can break free from europe in the way we want to. possibly. do you see what i mean? they are playing the long game. they sort of eye, and they are talking about how theresa may is not a good negotiator. the factors theresa may has not been negotiating this on her own. this been a team of people. you can question moments... somewhat argue she has been very solitary, she has not been a team player, which is one of the issues in the conservative party. there hasn't been that groupthink at all, it is about how she thinks this is where they should go. i see what you mean and yes, that is

this is michael gove.es this is an immensely important week and we leave the eu in an orderly fashion, and realise that we should do this by supporting the prime minister. can she get the votes we need this week?|j the prime minister. can she get the votes we need this week? i believe we can end it is important we do. we need to vote to leave the european union, the prime minister is honouring that, she is doing everything she can to get support during that effort. the signs are mrs may is determined to conquer on down and push ahead with her deal but if she is forced to a cce pt with her deal but if she is forced to accept some sort of agreement by parliament which tramples over her red lines, who knows, staying in the singles market or a customs union, she may think i cannot possibly accept that and quit anyway. alternatively if she comes back without meaningful vote and it gets voted down for a third time she might think she has no option but to go. and there is the threat from the brexiteers that if th

the mail on sunday says that ministers are plotting to install environment secretary michael gove in and that is echoed by the sunday telegraph, which warns the cabinet must step up to oust may in order to rescue brexit. we spoke to nigel nelson who is the political editor of the uk newspaper, the sunday mirror, and asked him what he made of the headlines about the prime minister. it's now not a question of if theresa may goes, but when. there was a material change in the house of commons this week. we've known she has been in different crises before and she somehow escaped out of them. this week felt completely different, all down to the fact that her tv address to the nation on wednesday went so completely wrong. so it's no surprise that tomorrow's papers will be filled with the speculation about her going and how she will go. so the idea being she will go as soon as this coming week. david lidington, her de facto deputy, could be installed as an interim prime minister. then there will be an awful lot ofjockeying in the cabinet. david lidington would have to accept he would never b

two ministers who attended the talks — david lidington and michael gove — denied reports that they were a cabinet coup to oust the prime minister. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth reports. and a warning her report contains flash photography. it was no day of rest for the prime minister, with her brexit plan and her future plagued with uncertainty. reporter: are you prepared to resign to save your deal? for now, it seems the answer's no. reporter: you looking forward to it, boris? instead, key brexiteers were summoned to her country retreat. the prime minister, it seems, still trying to win their support for her troubled deal, but all the while talk is swirling about whether she can keep herjob. her de facto deputy today had to deny reports of a plot to replace her, which would see him step in, saying he had no such plans. i don't think that i've any wish to take over from the pm, who i think is doing a fantasticjob. i tell you there's one thing that working closely with the prime minister does is cure you completely of any lingering shred of ambition to want to do that task. i h

so the environment secretary michael gove stepped in.g out that both labour and conservatives stood on election manifestos promising to deliver the brexit referendum result. it is vitally important that we honour that manifesto promise, those instructions and our democracy. and those outside this house who sent us here to act on their will and to deliver that mandate will take a very, very dim view of those who seek to frustrate, deny or dilute the mandate that we were given. but there was confusion over what the government motion actually meant. will my right honourable friend confirm if it is still the policy of her majesty's government to keep no deal on the table otherwise how will we get a better deal? my right honourable friend makes a point. the motion which stands in the prime minister's name and which i will vote for this evening makes it clear that we should not leave on march 29 without a withdrawal agreement. but it doesn't take no deal off the tail because as i underlined earlier, the only way in which that can be done, comp

issue because this is theresa may's loyal cabinet ministers, you heard from david liddington and michael gove brexit secretary is there, on the other side, some brexiteers she is struggling to win over, borisjohnson brexiteers she is struggling to win over, boris johnson and brexiteers she is struggling to win over, borisjohnson and the former brexit secretary dominic rab, iain duncan smith, jacob rees mogg, all influential brexiteers who she hopes that somehow she can get on board with her deal. i've got to say from where i am sitting now, it looks like a tall order. so far there has been very little sign that tory brexiteers are ready to roll over, nor is the dup or a labour mps in any great numberand nor is the dup or a labour mps in any great number and that is why the government thinks it has little chance as things stand of winning a vote. given the cast list assembled at the country house for possible to new among the brexit process, is it possible to get a deal with jacob rees mogg's group, the influential group, european research group, because effectively people are saying, theresa

and they are all lining up, and the people behind them, it's interesting, who is leading michael gove'sescing around their man. butjeremy hunt is a p pa re ntly around their man. butjeremy hunt is apparently trying to burnish his statesman credentials with an article in the washington post. where have they got time to be doing this at the same time as all of this stuff in the commons? is boris still the frontrunner? it's really complex. a classic case of, there is some big stuff coming down the track if we have no deal, this is really bad. it's big and policy stuff around it and yet the papers have got personalities, brilliant, we can have a bit of drama, a soap opera! the tory leadership is very complex because you have got to get through the party to get on the final list that then goes through the membership. we know the membership are hardline brexiteer is, broadly. whoever the hardline brexiteer is will probably win. getting there will probably win. getting there will be complex and it's about the deals you do. it's talking about amber rudd, she can't run because she has no hope wi

starting with the environment secretary, michael gove.paign, could he get the backing of the brexiteers in the party? or could they back another prominent leave campaigner? boris johnson, the former foreign secretary, who pulled out of the last leadership contest when michael gove said he was standing. still popular with the tory membership. brexiteer dominic raab was the second brexit secretary, he resigned from the role afterjust four months saying he couldn‘t support the prime minister‘s brexit deal. and still opposes the deal. foreign secretary jeremy hunt a reluctant remainer now a brexiteer, there was a very public shift after the referendum. he chose not to run in the 2016 contest saying it was "not the right time" but he has the credentials. another remainer who has re—positioned himself as a firm leaver — the home secretary sajid javid. born in rochdale, son of a pakistani bus driver, who arrived with £1 in his pocket. that would be quite a story. andrea leadsom was in the final two of the last leadership contest, but withdrew af

plotting to oust her, no sooner were they out there than those two key figures david lidington and michael gove they were trying to replace the prime minister, and they came out in support, again, of herand her brexit deal. but i'm sure it will be a tense meeting of the cabinet this morning, when theresa may sits down with her top team, and there is a big decision to be taken at that point. how much control does the government tried to exert over the brexit process from hero? at this stage, despite that last—ditch attempt by the prime minister to bring on tony brexiteers at chequers over the weekend, it looks like there is not the support for her deal to pass at the second time of asking —— brexit process from hero nine. there will be an attempt to set up parliament time later in the week for indicative votes, votes in various different outcomes to the brexit process to try to find the majority. the government may well try to manage that process itself in the hope that it can regain some form of control and potentially then in the hope if there isn't a consensus around any one of those options,
