and he is the one negotiating apparently on behalf of this government in europe mrs baker this mess is all of the prime minister's own my shape. for too long she spent more time negotiating with divisions in her party than she is putting any focus on the needs of our economy. and the prime minister postured with red line after red line and now as reality bites she's backsliding on every one of them and we were also given commitments that this government would achieve the exact same benefits and free and frictionless trade with the now those red lines of fighting and the team the prime minister appointed secure this deal for our country have jumped the sinking ship far from strong and stable there are ministers overboard and the ship is listing all of the worst possible time this is for a cure if we look at the prime minister's proposals for the long delayed white paper this is not a comprehensive plan but jobs in britain and the economy the people of this country to. thank these. powers those stop well short of a comprehensive customs union something trade unions and manufacturers have

mr. speaker. bakerand maintained nursery schools employ qualified teachers are inspected as schools and have all the costs associated with schools, but still they are not funded as schools. does the prime minister recognize that all the grammar schools in the world cannot raise standards if children are neglected in those early years? if these nursery schools are not funded as schools, they will close. will the prime minister commit today to making sure that that does not happen, and make a financial commitment to support them in the future? >> hear. pm may: can i say to the honorable lady i fully recognize , the importance of the early years education that is provided by nursery schools and indeed -- by maintained nursery schools and indeed, by others. that was why many years ago, when i was the chairman of education in the london borough of merton, i was happy to complete a program that ensured we put in early years education for those parents who wanted it, at a time when the labour government and ot

baker. hear! hear! >> mr. speaker, it the national interest that we should have contingency plans for exiting the european union. now that they're in collective agreement can we accelerate delivery of our plans and will are right and honorable friends please give instructions for every communication related to know deal serves to bolster our negotiations and reinforce the credibility and the feasibility of those contingency plans. can i also think my honorable friend for the work he was doing in the department and particularly for the work he was doing related to this issue. is absolutely right. we do need to make sure we have those know deal separations in place while we negotiate with the european union because we need to ensure that we have a contingency arrangement for every eventuality but there's also the european union needs no doubt that we are making those separations and ensuring that should that be the outcome that we are prepared.

mrs may's proposal was approved by the cabinet on friday. a junior brexit minister, steve bakers also stepped down. mr davis, who's been in thejob since 2018, says the policy could leave the uk in a "weak" and "inescapable" negotiating position. this is what he told the radio 4's today programme this morning. this policy has got a number of weaknesses, and it is not as though it is somebody else's responsibility which i can share, i would be front and centre delivering this policy, explaining it to the house, persuading the house it was right, then delivering it with the european union, and frankly, just as it was known that what the policy was, it was also known that i had concerns about it, it would not have been a plausible thing to do, and i would not have done a good job. one of the things i said to the prime minister is i hope you are right and i am wrong, but if that is the case, the best person to do this is someone who believes in it, not me. let's talk to our political correspondent chris mason. what does this mean, chris?m what does this mean, chris? it means another

mr davis is not the only one having doubts. brexit minister steve baker has also left his post.eading tory brexiteerjacob— rees—mogg urged theresa may to rethink her approach to leaving the european union. she is the person who has been in charge of this process, and if she feels that the chequers summit does not deliver on the previous commitments, then i think that should concern all of us —— he. these proposals will have to come to the house of commons in legislation, andi the house of commons in legislation, and i think without david davis they are, it will be very difficult for them to be able to support conservative mps, and our prime minister would be well advised to reconsider them. we are trying to bring you what reaction there has been, let's take you through some of that now. labour leaderjeremy corbyn tweeted: peter bone tweeted in support of the resignation: andrea jenkyns said: we can speak now to our political correspondent jonathan blake, who is in westminster. jonathan, difficult hours and days ahead for the prime minister. jonathan, it is worth taking a moment

baker's. so the complaint was brought against masterpiece cake shop and mr. phillips before the colorado civil rights commission. it was just an administrative agency that is going to wind up being surprisingly important in the way the court decided this case. and the commission concluded he violated the public accommodation statute and that he was required to, among other things, stop doing that and to train his staff not to make commit further violations in the future, and the colorado court of appeals decided to affirm that. it was relisted how many times, john? john: it was like 14 times. it set a record, yeah. willy: the court took a very long time including for justice gorsuch to decide if they were going to hear the case, but here did.it they the case was briefed on two theories. a free exercise theory and a free speech theory. the baker argued that the civil rights statute is forcing him to provide goods and services for a wedding with which he had a sincere, to which he had a sincere and deeply felt religious objection. that that was a burden on his

baker, in your appointment this evening. looking forward to working with you, as well. thank you, mr. president. >>commissioner cleaveland: thank you. commissioners, any other commissioners would like to report on anything. >> i just personally -- oh, there it went. >>commissioner cleaveland: commissioner hardeman? >> commissioner hardeman: thank you, mr. president. just getting back to the ceremony, well done. huge crowd just so happy that i got to be there. very moving, very sad, but again, very upbeat. his family did a good job, his brother did a good job, and i thought the chief did a great job. so very, very moving. great tribute. a huge crowd. i was so happy to see so many people turn out for him. and then i saw, talking to the maintenance guy, janitor, we used to call them, the maintenance person that works at headquarters, and he was telling me i notice the floor, i notice the floor. he was so proud because they have -- they just have a new system about polishing the floor where they don't use wax. it's two tone now, so even the maintenance guy was all jacked up about making sure it defi

poisoning with mr trump, and reminded mps that after the attack the us stood alongside the uk and took action against russia. you're watching wednesday in parliament with me, mandy bakerister has called the breakdown in pairing arrangements during voting on the trade bill "an error", and promised it won't be repeated. pairing is an agreement between two mps of opposing parties not to vote on one particular occasion. it ensures that an absence does not affect the result. the liberal democratjo swinson, currently on maternity leave, was paired with a conservative, brandon lewis. but mr lewis did vote on amendments to the trade bill. the episode has renewed efforts to create a system of proxy voting. last night's shambles over the vote should put it beyond doubt that pairing is not the answer for mps, we are elected as mps to vote on this house and mps having babies should not lose that right. will she give the house the opportunity to vote on the procedure committee draft motion on proxy voting for baby leave, with more parliamentary babies in the pipeline and more crucial votes coming up, it's time to sort this out. this one is overdue. first of all, can i say to the r

and peter baker, lanny davis was on camera last night on cnn, appealing directly to the american people, looking directly into the camera, and, you know, saying what do you hear, i'm looking at mr mrs. trump in red america, what are you hearing. is this basically a public relations campaign by michael cohen, maybe preliminary to an offer to cooperate with prosecutors, either state or if it turns out -- i mean, federal in new york, or perhaps mueller. but politically, how does this impact the president, in that the "access hollywood" tape was right before the election and that didn't seem to turn off the hard-core support that the president had. so if there's no legal issue, is it really politically important? >> yeah, it's a great question. the most important thing to take out of this is what harry just said when he used the phrase the trump camp and the cohen camp. the fact that there is a trump camp and a cohen camp is what seems to me to be the most important thing to take out of this. cohen is clearly off the reservation, no longer willing to take a bullet for the president as he once said he was. he has a dozen other tapes, now in the hands of prosecutors, what might be on

baker and in this era the pre-polarization he is one of the profiles encourage. >> wait for a microphone. >> why should we give back the canal? ask for all we stolen it. [laughter] >> mr. president you only get one of these. i have already gone to the well once. but the congressional liaison so we had a lot of experience there. obviously to go on to be chief of staff and i think history never come back but the profiles of courage and to tell this democratic president that is amazing that is amazing but think about putting the country first think of both parties. let's get to a few more questions. this is a very pushy panel left back. >> there is no question everybody was surprised to see what a successful legislator we had but while we did have a reasonably successful area but very little political support but detroit at that time would go have a drink with people for five or six suburban newspapers and he said you guys suck and how do you know that? are the guys come back here they tell us that you suck. so we were the most productive in 1980 the most productive lame-duck session in american history and one very good example of a piece of legislation that they would
