philip hammond. thing about up to three years. transition? philip hammond.ng about up to three years. i would have thought that was a sensible amount of time. i think they probably bought it down to 18 months, two years. it also says over the next ten days as we get new proposals coming through it is understood theresa may will offer free movement to irish citizens in and out of britain so that sounds like the irish prime ministers will get his answer at last to what is the plan. there is a sort of schengen area between ireland and great britain? there has been since the 19205. great britain? there has been since the 1920s. people who are a little bit younger than i will not remember life before the european union when in fact, britain and the republic of ireland had already eight schengen style deal, the forefather of schengen. even during the troubles, you could dry across, you would get stuffed by british troops to wanted to know where you were going and what you were doing, the hard bit will be getting from northern ireland over to the mainland. but of c

they will seek a time—limited transition period with the eu — a victory for philip hammond. a win for mr fox. i think it is actually very encouraging because over the last three or four weeks we have seen conflicting signals sent out by various numbers of the cabinet, and now it does look as if someone has said to mr fox and mr hammond, we need to see unity. the customs union sets eu—wide import tariffs. the single market allows free trade and the movement of people. ministers say the uk can leave both while still giving business confidence during our departure from the eu. it sounds worryingly to me as if the price philip hammond has had to pay for a transitional arrangement has been to sign up to us leaving the single market and the customs union. i think that is a dreadful mistake for the future of our economy, forjobs, and prosperity in britain. it's in brussels all this will have to be hammered out. the eu insists progress must be made on sorting out the terms of the divorce before the uk's future relationship can be discussed. and one issue the eu wants clarity on is h

philip hammond accused of caving in on customs deal.tion that while theresa may was away, philip hammond was trying to position brexit quite differently. so a softer version than others might have liked. this is basically saying that it have liked. this is basically saying thatitis have liked. this is basically saying that it is a hard brexit, and you are not in control, we are. and it sounds like he was forced to sign this article to say yes, we will no longer be remaining in the customs union. but it is doing and throwing, and we wait for what will happen. —— toing and froing. decisions have been railroaded through. you have to say, these are just decisions about how we approach the negotiations. we cannot decide what is actually offered in negotiations. so theresa may's back from a holiday, and this is about britain setting out its policy on the border in ireland, and there are some noises about various things. i think we don't know quite enough about what is going on in the cabinet, what philip hammond and liam fox have not said is

liam fox and easy as big big city and philip hammond the voice of caution in cabinet.rent show of unity. reiterating that breaks it will mean leaving the single market that allows free trade and movement of people and leaving the customs union which sets eu wide import tariffs, writing a joint peace in the sunday telegraph the minister said the economy needs to stay strong through brexit. and that means business needs to have confidence, they say, there will not bea confidence, they say, there will not be a cliff edge when we leave the eu injust over 20 months‘ be a cliff edge when we leave the eu in just over 20 months‘ time. be a cliff edge when we leave the eu injust over 20 months‘ time. this is why the ministers continue, they believe a time—limited interim period will be important to further oui’ period will be important to further our national interest and give business greater certainty. it cannot be, they say, indefinite, it cannot be, they say, indefinite, it cannot be, they say, indefinite, it cannot be a back door to staying in the eu. it sounds worryingly

i think david jones has just confirmed that what this is about is perhaps getting philip hammond backwhile the prime minister was out of the country, started saying things about the impact brexit would have on the uk economy and the need for a soft brexit. that people like liam fox and david jones were not co mforta ble liam fox and david jones were not comfortable with. now he has been brought back in line. it is not hard brexit if there is a transitional deal, is it? ratherthan brexit if there is a transitional deal, is it? rather than saying everything has to end on the 31st of march, this is saying that we can have a period, we can delay some of the impact of this so that we have more time to prepare for the practicalities of implementing, for example, customs controls?” practicalities of implementing, for example, customs controls? i suppose even for people like liam fox the realisation must have set in that a timetable in delivering this by march 2019, was absolutely unachievable, and the only thing that a group —— did would have achieved would be to cripple the uk economy. what

i certainly think that philip hammond has rowed back from his previous position.ut that. i think that eve ryo ne no doubt about that. i think that everyone is very concerned that about three or four weeks ago he was suggesting that this transitional period should last a long time. now it is clear that it will be a relatively short period, and at the end of that, we will have completely left the eu, and we'll no longer be subject to the supremacy of the european court of justice. subject to the supremacy of the european court ofjustice. we will be leaving the single market and leaving the customs union too. former conservative cabinet minister david jones there. athletics now, and bitter disappointment last night for the two biggest stars of athletics — mo farah and usain bolt — making their last major track appearances at the world championships in london. bolt pulled up with cramp in the 4x100 metres, with the british team taking gold. usain bolt leaves the world of athletics having won 19 global gold medals in all, and as holder of the 100m and 200m world record

suggesting philip hammond and liam fox have put an end to inviting —— in fighting with a promise to leave union. it is interesting. it is like all of this, you just wonder the point as it is summer. you just wonder the point as it is summer. this is the news stories if we are not looking towards north korea politics is what we have got left and we know we have liam fox, international trade secretary and philip hammond the chancellor, this joint pledge for a fixed transitional period after leaving the eu and the chancellor has been accused in the past of trying to derail the deal for brexit but we still have so many things to sort out, not least this divorce bill which rears its ugly head, there are little numbers bandied around, 70 to 80 million and some say we do not owe anything and various other shenanigans. then something else comes up. shenanigans. then something else comes up. are we shenanigans. then something else comes up. are we or are we shenanigans. then something else comes up. are we or are we not going to stay in the free trade agreement, then this other idea which is in th

philip hammond repeatedly briefed against.es ripping themselves to shreds, but chris patten said the disastrous decisions have left the country in a terrible mess and already because we have the referendum to sage the internal divisions of the tory party, and we have the snap general election to destroy the labour party, but these internal divisions within the conservative party have left this country a laughing stock in europe and that is my fear, that we don't have a united government, we don't have a united government, we have a prime minister without authority and brexit negotiations have not even begun. what you think about soubry saying she is thinking about soubry saying she is thinking aboutjoining about soubry saying she is thinking about joining another party? that is not that surprising, there are some people in the conservative party who are passionately in favour of remain and they can argue their case as they wish, but they do not represent a minority within the conservative party and they don't represent the maj

and amber rudd over theissue philip hammond and amber rudd over the issue of freedom of movement ofthis i’ow people post—brexit. how does this row look from your side of the channel? well, i think the basic view of the eu 27 is that if you wa nt to view of the eu 27 is that if you want to continue to have full access to the market, be it for the long—term, orfor a to the market, be it for the long—term, or for a transition period, you need to, to follow all the major parts of the eu governance, and the eu governance of basically the capacity of its institutions to regulate the capacity —— to regulate, the capacity —— to regulate, the capacity to reconcile disputes, and powers that are in the eu rules, freedom for goods and services, and financial flows, and not freedom for goods and services, and financialflows, and not for freedom for goods and services, and financial flows, and not for people. after that, how it will be settled exactly will depend on the negotiations, of course. as the negotiations, of course. as the negotiations and the debate over brexit continue, as we have bee

writing in the sunday telegraph, philip hammond and liam fox confirm there will be a transition periods adjust — but it will only last for a limited period of time. their comments are being seen as an attempt to show unity between the rival sides on europe in theresa may's cabinet. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent jonathan blake, and i asked him if there was disunity in the cabinet. before the start of the summer break, with briefings from one side and the other, those who want brexit to happen as quickly as possible, like the international trade secretary, liam fox, and those pushing for a more cautious approach, led by philip hammond, so you have those two senior cabinet ministers writing this joint peace in the sunday telegraph this morning, attempting this show of unity, putting differences aside and saying, we agree on these things, at least, for now. and they have put a couple of issues to bed, chiefly, the idea of a transitional period so that when we wake up on the 31st of march 2019, when britain has formally left the european union, there won't be chaos and we w

this would be in reaction to the conservative position which was put out by liam fox and philip hammond that in the transitional period, the conservatives would want to leave by the customs union and the single market. that seems a strange position to take because presumably the transition period is intended as a buffer so that damage is not done during that period of exit. it relates specifically to the labour market and the customs union. so, labour have said, that makes no sense. obviously we will have a transitional period. at least the government has come to its senses on that, knowing that it is necessary and desirable. but as would look very different. it is a clear distinction between the two parties. it also says that labour have left the option open of staying in the single market and the customs union for good, long—term. that is dependent on brussels agreeing to that, which it is a big question. it also brings up the question of free movement, i don't know how you could remain in the single market without insisting on free movement. that is probably the reason that most peop

writing in the sunday telegraph, philip hammond and liam fox confirm there will be a transition periodadjust. 0ur political reporter jonathan blake is in our half london newsroom for us. jonathan, what else does this article say? here we have two big piece in the cabinet representing different sides of the brexit debate coming together burying the hatchet and saying, we agreed and at least this much. liam fox and philip hammond happened a couple of issues to bedford now, saying that there will be a transition period. when we wake up on the 31st of march, 2019, having left the eu, there won't be that chaos or that cliff edge that many businesses are worrying about. there will be arrangements for travel and trade for a time limited period. they have also made clear that the transition will be time limited and it won't be away for the uk to stay in the eu by the back door. they are trying, i think, in the eu by the back door. they are trying, ithink, to in the eu by the back door. they are trying, i think, to reassure those people enthusiastic about brexit, who wanted to happen as soon as

i would hope so and philip hammond seems to be trying to pull the government in that direction. many obstacles that have to be thought through properly. for instance, how is the uk going to get a fresh free trade agreement with the eu through all of those national parliaments across the eu? for instance, all of those existing trade deals that we in the uk enjoy, how do we get those grandfathered, basically, readopted the uk. we are facing a problem. the vote leave guys promised, in the referendum, john and vote leave promised that straight after the referendum, from day one, we'd be able to negotiate all these trade deals. but has not happened. tomorrow's papers are writing this up as a victory for those who support softer brexit in the challenge, a victory for the chancellor. as an ardent brexiteer do you feel in any way you've been sold down the river? i don't agree with that analysis at all. government policy is clear that we leave the single market and the customs union. all 50 trade agreements we have with the eu and the rest of the world will translate to us as well if our

that during the summer, that seems to be pretty close to the position people associated with philip hammonda transitional period that perhaps need never end. but of course, about a week ago he and liam fox wrote an article for my newspaper, the daily telegraph, saying we have decided out means out. we will not be bowled by any treaties. so labour has moved into that ground, which has been vacated by the tories. continue the theme with the inside of the sun, page two. again, perhaps not surprisingly, critical of where keir starmer is now. and not unreasonably. reading the observer article, it was not the observer was at first remark reading the article, he is clear about this position. what he is not about is what that means the free movement. presumably if you are in the single market you retain that. which is something that will irritate a lot of voters. the other thing is thing is he is really not clear about what the future relationship with the eu will be. he mentions three times a future relationship which will be progressive, notjust relationship which will be progressive, not just ab
