mr raab was drafted in as brexit secretary to replace david davis, who quit in protest at the prime minister's proposals for post—brexit trade. 0ur political correspondent iain watsonng to you. good evening, yes, interesting times. effectively what the prime minister is announcing is what everyone was expecting of going on anyway. he resigned after the agreement to effectively change the pitch to the european union on negotiations, and effectively said that they were being sidelined anyway, the department was being used as a croissant. so the prime minister has confirmed that she is in charge of her on strategy, and deputize for her. but i think what worries the brexiteers is what else is in that statement, because effectively, they have been taught to deal with domestic consideration, all the preparations in this country, including planning for an ideal scenario. and a unit inside the cabinet, the european unit is going to ta ke cabinet, the european unit is going to take the lead when it comes to negotiations with the rest of the european union, and that unit is led by ali robbins, a former secretary that has been taken into the prime minister zorba, he's saying

mr lewis and the whips claimed it was an honest mistake. but then the times' sam coates published this article — claiming it was deliberate. the story keeps changing — let's bring in iain watsonarty and he voted in a crucial vote on tuesday on the trade bill. the government could have been defeated. that was a narrow victory. we know thatjo swinson on maternity leave did not vote and she accused the government of cheating. it becomes more difficult because brandon lewis apologised and said it was a mistake but subsequently, the government story seems to have changed. it was suggested that the chief whip is in charge of this, julian smith, had actually thought about asking people to break the pairing arrangements, this bold cancelling out another vote, to ask them to do it because the vote was tight. he did not actually do it in the end. we saw footage suggesting that one of the whips had talked to brandon lewis before the vote and the reason this is so serious is that the prime minister has already lost two cabinet ministers over brexit, the man in charge of getting difficult legislation through the house of commons on time, julian smith, the chief whip is now in trouble beca
