i say to mr evans... nigel.igel, who i have known for 25 years, i nigel, who i have known for 25 yea rs, i voted nigel, who i have known for 25 years, i voted for a withdrawal agreement that would have got us out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, i am out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, iam not out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, i am not faking out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, iam not faking remain, i don't think anybody is, i think they are doing the best for the country. ido are doing the best for the country. i do not believe it is giving the order paper, it is a very simple bill and reinforces what the prime minister says, it gives him the time out. the other codes bearing on lots of peoples minds is what katya adler said on the news last night, it is not no to no deal that is frustrating the europeans, it has some of my colleagues who tweeted last week that they will vote against any deal the prime minister brings back, which is another good reason why we should put this in pla

nigel evans was just about to speak, a conservative mp, who is gay.sues with the content and the way it was taught? no, but i might have done 30 years ago, but we have moved on since then, i have changed my views completely. i didn't come out openly as gay until i was in my 50s. when i was growing up in swansea i wish i had been introduced to lessons just like that. why? it may well have been that i would have come out openly as gay not thinking that there was something wrong, that i would have frustrated or hidden my feelings, which are absolutely natural, which are portrayed in that book. and sadly we've heard a few views this morning which seem to suggest to me that there is something wrong in somebody who is either lesbian, gay, or of some other natural feelings. and that does disturb me and i am not surprised, simon, that those books are banned in some countries because i've talked to a lot of politicians from a number of countries where it's illegal to be gay. and that is absolutely bonkers in the 21st century. let me bring in karen. are you mov

the radical left, including this conservative mp, nigel evans?de is that when i was growing up, allthe attitude is that when i was growing up, all the messages that were being sent to me, whether it was officially or unofficially, was that if you had gay feelings, there was something wrong with you and you had to suppress that sort of thing. even growing up, as i did... you are a member of parliament. you should have found out more about what is happening in the protests. i as a campaigner, i will not accept anyone who is homophobic in my campaign. why do you say it is homophobic? why is it not just why do you say it is homophobic? why is it notjust simply parents, good pa rents is it notjust simply parents, good parents who simply want to take their children away from this kind of lesson, because it adds up to them how they bring their children up them how they bring their children up when it comes to relationships and family units? you are calling them homophobic. they are homophobic because they are denying our existence. they don't want to fa

i listen to what nigel evans as that. i listen to what nigel eva ns says as that.want to keep on selling us those cars, the only way that will happen tariff free is if we negotiate a proper deal, which will happen. nigel doesn't understand how cars are made in this country. it is a long supply chain between here and other european countries, and the cutting off of that supply chain will be damaging. ca rs that supply chain will be damaging. cars are made across europe these days and we are cutting ourselves off. i'm trying to be clear for viewers here. just let's talk about numbers, have you got the numbers to stop what you want, stop a no deal brexit? we don't know until the motion and the bill is put before the house of commons. i think, what i've seen is members from all different parties, from conservatives, from labour, from the liberal democrats and others saying, actually, we won't tolerate no deal. if you look at that broad spread of people who are saying that, i would advise borisjohnson to people who are saying that, i would advise boris johnson to listen

in a fiery exchange on college green, the conservative mp nigel evans, who supports borisjohnson, andng later in parliament. bbc breakfast‘s louise minchin started by asking sam gymiah whether he would be voting later today to stop a no—deal brexit. i am going to vote to stop a no—deal brexit. i do not have a mandate from my constituents for a damaging and disorderly brexit. we have seen no sign of progress in negotiations to date and if the prime minister is committed to leaving on the 31st of october, it looks like we will be leaving without a deal. that is not in the national interest. can you tell us, and we will speak to nigel evans in a minute, about the pressure being brought on you? are members of the government talking to you, asking you to change your mind? what‘s going on? well, i have been surprised about how little pressure there has been from the whips. at one point i thought the government almost wanted to lose the vote as a pretext to being able to call a general election. i‘ve had very little pressure from the government but we have had the threat from the prime minis

conservative mp nigel evans and labourmp conservative mp nigel evans and labour mp seema malhotra.ay and the conservative party lost the majority. phillip lee officially joined lost the majority. phillip lee officiallyjoined the lib dems, he told us of the summer he was reflecting what he ought to do when we got a new leader of the conservative party and it clearly does not like him. and all the brexit legislation to be fair we had lost phillip lee anyway. i think he is now with the right party. so you would want an election this point. alison to borisjohnson would want an election this point. alison to boris johnson last would want an election this point. alison to borisjohnson last night speaking to tory mps and he said he did not want an early election but also he has been preparing for one andi also he has been preparing for one and i think that is a wise thing to do. alsojeremy and i think that is a wise thing to do. also jeremy corbyn and i think that is a wise thing to do. alsojeremy corbyn has been preparing for an early general election for the past two years. if in the po

the conservative mp, leading brexit supporter, former deputy speaker nigel evans, who went into numbero number ten just a few moments ago, he sang bring it on, talking about a general election? yes, there's been a lot of speculation about that today, in the end borisjohnson speculation about that today, in the end boris johnson has speculation about that today, in the end borisjohnson has a majority of one on paper. actually his majority doesn't fully exist. how long can he go on with that? i'm not sure they're necessarily what a general election but if his choices, you're to be forced to ask for a later brexit, he simply cannot do that politically because he has nigel farage in the brexit party breathing down his neck, so it's better to have a general election may be in the middle of october. but it's not as easy as it used to be, a prime minister can'tjust call a general election, yes to put it to the house of commons, there are various ways, you would normally needs two thirds of mps, labour would need to vote for it. general carbon has been calling for an election for a long time b

their own governments let's take a view from one of the leading pro brics a conservative voice nigel evans and we thank you very much fielding time do you think you're going to lose the vote soon or we'll soon find out of course that we know that the conservative remain rebels a few months ago did exactly this they cooperated with the opposition and they wrestle control of the order paper so i think the assumption must be that they'll do rather similar today which means a bill will then be introduced to parliament tomorrow which does one simple thing it says to boris johnson if you can't get a deal with the european union you have to seek an extension to at least the end of january 2020. and that is something that he told me along with about 200 other conservative m.p.'s in the garden of his official residence 10 downing street last night that he is not going to do at which point boris johnson says i need sue call the general election or not so but the 14th. that writes us the speculation i mean he did say also yes that he didn't want to know early election he did say he didn't want one bu

nigel evans. the coast guard and fat department are trying to reach people who were below deck when the fire broke out —— the fire department. let‘s go to los angeles and our correspondence who is there. what‘s the latest? there is a huge rescue, search and rescue operation under weight right now, the conditions are quite difficult, heavy fog in that area which is typicalfor the islands difficult, heavy fog in that area which is typical for the islands off the coast of california. just to the north of los angeles. this fire broke out in the middle of the night about 3:30am. a fierce blaze on this vessel, 75 foot boat that was being used on a scuba—diving expedition. it headed out a couple of days ago from santa barbara. there have been fatalities, we don‘t know how many have lost their lives. the coastguard has been saying 33 people are still unaccounted for. it‘s close to the harbour, there are hopes some people might have been to the shore bots at the moment it is assumed all of those people are

next though, this the view of the tory mp and vocal brexiteer, nigel evans.the government has won. and the supreme court will now meet on tuesday — nine of the most seniorjudges in the united kingdom will make the decision. yes, they were unanimous, but after all, it's not as if there isn't precedent — john major prorogued parliament for longer than borisjohnson is doing. and also we have to remember that we've not had a queen's speech in about two years. this is the longest sitting of a parliament for over 400 years. and i think really that must be taken into account. to digest all that and analyse it for us, here is bbc‘s rob watson. this is an extraordinary turn, and it's immensely awkward for the prime minister. i think i've heard it described as a bombshell — because if the decision is not overturned by the uk's supreme court, it is immensely difficult. i mean, you've been through but the judgement was, essentially accusing mr johnson of misleading everyone when he said that when he gave the reason for probing and suspending parliament, and therefore giv

thank you very much, nigel evans. you can hear it is incredibly noisy here at westminster today.night, that would mean parliament tonight, that would mean parliament not sitting for another five weeks. and it is not certain it will happen today, but it is expected that that will be what happens if the government doesn't get its way and get an election, a general election green lighted in the commons today. i am joined now by the former director of legislative affairs at number ten. joe moore worked with theresa may right until the end. what are you expected to happen? because we are hearing that the government is likely to test the new law that is expected to be passed today to tie the government's hands on a no—deal brexit. i think of last week shows anything, it will be a mark‘s game to predict anything. one thing i think is important to emphasise is that a lot of variables were reduced, they seem to be in play. downing street are doing their very best to ensure that as many of those variables, they are kite flying to ensure that many of those variables stay alive. with regards
