yesterday a member of his shadow cabinet resigned over the issue. s us from our london newsroom. thank you very much for your time this morning. this is turning into a real headache forjeremy corbyn? brexit i think is a headache. half the country wants to remain, half the country wants to remain, half the country wants to remain, half the country wants to leave. i myself voted to remain, my constituency voted to remain, my constituency voted to remain and yet i think as politicians in a democracy you have to a cce pt politicians in a democracy you have to accept that the democratic will of the people was that we will leave. i think that is what we in the shadow cabinet have tried to put forward this week to the party and say, look, we have to respect that, that means we have to vote on the second reading of this bill to trigger article 50. but your mps to respect what mr corbyn has said because they're not following their orders. this is an instruction, isn't it? let's be clear about this, in the way politics works, it's worth being clear about this,

i don't think any labourmp can shadow cabinet will.on't think any labour mp can resign at the moment but they're rocking the boat. he probably thinks that labour is going nowhere and he is so young. he just said in his resignation was nothing to do with jeremy corbyn. jamie reid is going to work in the nuclear industry and justin hunt is going to work and art. he was on the list of the selection targets when the boundary changes coming. stoke—on—trent central, his seat, is under threat. he's probably thinking he should jump before he has to. they only had a majority of 5000. he was opposed to many of his constituents because he bolted to remain. this by-election will be very indicative of the voting post brexit. it could be richmond in reverse. in 2015 ukip were second in the constituency and there is speculation that poll not will stand in the seat. i think it was one the highest brexit boats in the referendum. this is ukip central. it is northern and brexit. it is working class. i'm from there, actually. it is where they had been tak

meanwhile, politico is reporting that the president has a shadow cabinet of top aides who are campingderal agencies. critics say this is where the white house loyalists were were reporting back to jared kushner and could undermine the authority of the cabinet secretaries. white house insiders tell me that these aids are meant to bring some discipline over these cabinet departments and they there fast budgets which fits into the president's message of bringing accountability to these message a federal agency and how they spend the tax money. martha prayed to >> martha: thank you, ed. he and i with some inside perspective is omarosa manigault. she is an assistant and director communications. good to see you tonight. thank you for being with us. to her that report. her part. you saw the stories this morning, i'm sure. some of those stories say that they are based on dozens of sources within the white house, who are saying that there is quite a bit of tension between the kushner camp and the spicer camp and kellyanne conway. what do you think? >> i think the stories are very ridiculous. i

even his closest shadow cabinet colleagues we re closest shadow cabinet colleagues were taken by surprise taken by surprise by this idea of a pay cut. an absolute limit on the top salaries some people could earn. similarly, his attempt to strike a more popular stance on brexit, saying brexit could be good for britain and that labour was no longer wedded to freedom of movement, confusion there, too. because in interviews this morning, mr corbyn said, actually, i haven't changed my mind on immigration freedom of movement. yes, there might be tighter labour market rules to stop eu workers undercutting british workers, but he shied away from any changes to freedom of movement. just figured measure, he said he supported striking railway workers and would be happy to seen on the picket lines at southern rail. mr corbyn's people are quite relaxed. this is the new, unvarnished, confidentjeremy corbyn telling it as it is. they think he can ride the popular, antiestablishment bandwagons we've seen antiestablishment bandwagons we've seenin antiestablishment bandwagons we've seen in the brexit refere

he resigned from the shadow cabinet whenjeremy resigned from the shadow cabinet when jeremy corbyn resigned after the eu referendum in the summer, he said jeremy corbyn had failed to inject labour values into the whole referendum debate and he said he felt labour voters needed nu labour leader. he is clearly someone who has clashed with tremor corbyn, who did not feel that he could serve on the front bench —— jeremy corbyn. he has a very different perspective on how issues should be dealt with on the way jeremy corbyn did. i think it is a sign of these wider concerns that there are amongst quite a few labour mps who are simply wondering what sort of future they will have under a labour party led by somebody like jeremy corbyn. and a quick thought about the constituency itself because ukip is very strong there? that is right. stoke is a traditional labour seat, working class, it has higher than average unemployment. ukip edged the conservatives out and took second place at the last general election. they will clearly think they have very good prospects here. they will clearly be fighting thi

the shadow secretary for wales has resigned from labour's shadow cabinet.er the party leadership announced it is imposing a three line whip, the highest form of party discipline, to force mps to back a bill triggering the uk withdrawal from the eu. a man in reading who had his bike stolen thought he would never get it back. he left a note asking for it to be returned. that note was ignored. instead, a total stranger read the note and decided to act. a bike rack in reading. nothing unusual, you might think. look closely and there is a note attached to one poll. it was written by a man whose bike had been stolen. i could only afford that bike after a year of working my tears out. i was saving and dreaming of having a new bike one day. i only had it for a week. earlier this week, the note was seen a week. earlier this week, the note was seen by rachel thomas. it has an immediate effect. everything i read made me feel sad for the person, really. they had recently moved to reading. they had their new and shiny bike one week and somebody had stolen it. she was so

some people have resigned from the shadow cabinet since jeremy corbyn posed his three line whip sayingriggering article 50, that there is grassroots group of members supporting that stands of people saying they cannot vote for brexit, and i suppose the interesting there is that corbyn has a lwa ys interesting there is that corbyn has always been sustained, not by the parliamentary party, but by his support at the grassroots level, so there is a suggestion, only a very vague suggestion, that that might change or be changing a little as a result of this article 50 three line whip. whether it comes down to that, i don't know, or whether it is something that blows over in two weeks' time when the vote goes through, and i suspect that is more likely to be the case, that it will bea likely to be the case, that it will be a temporary problem, because most of the grassroots still seem to support his brand of labour politics. rachel, what do you make of it? it is a horrible situation for the labour party, because as you say given the composition of their vote rs say given the composition of the

a former member of the shadow cabinet believes thatjeremy corbyn is on the right track but does not gocommitment to managed migration but i think we need more detail on how that will work in practice. i think that one of the main messages from the eu referendum back injune was that the status quo on immigration and free movement cannot continue, and people want the government to have more control of the numbers of people coming in. in common with the finest of start—ups, today's strategy had a bit of a bumpy start. jeremy corbyn appeared to suggest early on that he favoured a cap on maximum pay rates. by this afternoon, the position was a little more nuanced as he suggested the government could use its leverage in public sector contracts to force private companies to accept pay ratios, and the tax system could be used to change behaviour more widely. jeremy corbyn is unlikely to be picking fights with hollywood stars. the moment, his mind will be on a windswept corner of cumbria where labour faces a tough by—election fight. today's message on brexit was no doubt aimed at copeland and o

in a letter to local party members, the former education spokesman, who resigned from the shadow cabinetaid serving in parliament had been "both deeply rewarding "and intensely frustrating." financialjobs in london are bound to be affected by brexit, but a lack of knowledge about the government's plans will make the situation worse. that was the message to the commons treasury committee from leading financiers including the head of the london stock exchange. they called for the city to have its own transitional arrangements, known as "grandfathering", meaning new rules wouldn't apply for around five years. part of the uncertainty and the planning is how much you would need to move. clearly, you would need to move the front part of the business. but the question would be whether the negotiation would allow the settlement, the risk management, the accounting and so on to the done outside of eu 27 or whether it is part of the negotiations. that is a political negotiation, as much as a technical negotiation. immigrants have to make more effort to fit in, that's according to the author of las

yesterday a member of his shadow cabinet resigned from the front bench over the issue.xplained jo stevens had resigned from jeremy corbyn‘s front bench because she couldn't vote to trigger article 50. she said brexit was a terrible mistake, and "i cannot reconcile my overwhelming view "that to endorse the bill "trigger article 50 would make that inevitable". the other interesting thing that happened yesterday is that two of the party's whips said they would also denyeremy corbyn and not vote to invoke article 50. interesting, of course, because party whips have that littlejob of endorsing and enforcing party discipline. mr corbyn himself has been known to rebel many times. yes, a serial rebel when he was on the backbenches. but crucially, he is now the leader. and as the leader, the sentiment is that he needs a coherent position from labour on what brexit should be. and he has made it clear that he believes the outcome of the referendum needs to be respected and accepted. that is why he has introduced this three line whip on his party to vote in favour of invoking artic

i'm told three shadow cabinet members are considering whether to resign over his instructions to trigger around two dozen former ministers and shadow ministers areally to rebel too. one is the man who challenged jeremy corbyn for the leadership. i asked him why he's still defying him?|j think him why he's still defying him?” think brexit will make our country poorer, our politics meaner. i think some of us need to stand up for the public and against this headlong rush to leave the european union and send us over the can cliff. other opposition parties will attempt to stop britain's exit from the eu in its tracks. we need to stop it and that's why we won't give the uk government carte blanch to do what he wants in relation to the brexit negotiations. many of the conservative mps who have qualms over brexit are flagging up they won't rebel now. the prime minister said mps will get a final vote at the end of the process. this bill we're considering this week and next isa we're considering this week and next is a process to trigger the notice. so, expect a lively debate in parliament but don

indeed, jeremy corbyn‘s first shadow cabinet attempted to build similar bridges. that it is a party firmly of the socialist left, with little room for dissenting voices. in the last month, we have already seen one by—election triggered in cumbria by the resignation of jamie reid. meanwhile, if he wins election as manchester mayor in may, andy burnham will be stepping down to try to carve out a fiefdom of his own outside westminster. and there is concern hunt's departure could trigger others. that argument, says one blairite from the right of the party, is both defeatist and wrong. i'm disappointed. he's obviously a talented politician and an effective parliamentarian and someone with politics on the moderate wing of the party. we are in an existential fight to save the labour party and return it to electability and we need fighters, not quitters in that scenario. so i would hope this is a one—off. but what if the labour party is being simply reshaped and re—grafted in a different mould of leadership, around a man elected head of his party, not once, but twice by p

in a letter to local party members, the former education spokesman, who resigned from the shadow cabinetof the party, said serving in parliament had been "both deeply rewarding and intensely frustrating". let's speak our political correspondent carole walker. he was a big figure in the party, how significant is his departure? it isa it is a big loss to the labour party. tristram hunt is somebody who was well—known, engaging, charismatic. i think his departure isa charismatic. i think his departure is a further sign of the disillusioned there is amongst many labour mps who don't sharejeremy corbyn‘s views. and it poses a big challenge for the labour leader who's going to have to fight a difficult by—election. tristram hunt in that resignation letter says he's not trying to rock the boat, he stresses how the new role at the fee and a will enable him to combine his passions for education, public engagement and so on —— v&a. he says he feels frustration that now labour is out of power, he's not able to do as much as he would like to tackle inequality and poverty. in past tristram hunt has be

one ofjeremy corbyn‘s shadow cabinet, the international trade spokesman, barry gardiner, is at westminsterto see you. thanks for being with us. after that speech, there were lots of buts, ifs, howevers, maybes, probablies, what is labour's policy on free movement? policy on free movement is that we wa nt policy on free movement is that we want people to come to this country who can improve our economic growth, who can improve our economic growth, who can improve our economic growth, who can give us morejobs and who can improve our economic growth, who can give us more jobs and better jobs in this country. we want to make sure that the people who are coming here only come here when they're benefitting the people who actually live in the uk primarily and not just for the actually live in the uk primarily and notjust for the benefit of those who want to come here. now thatis those who want to come here. now that is immigration controls, which are fair. they are reasonable management of migration, but we want to see that. obviously free movement of people is something that is a principle for t

he's got this kind of shadow cabinet that is already up and running at the hotel three or four blocks from the white house. by the way, jared kushner, did a phenomenal job on the campaign, believing in his father-in-law, using facebook and other untraditional methods. when everyone was laughing at donald trump, he said you can't get the 270, eight you are not raising enough money, you're not running enough tv ads. it was jared kushner who calmly coolly believed. and now his reward is, i think you can get me this piece. peace in the middle east. we are all counting on you. good luck, jared. >> tucker: it's a tall order of course. it's failed for more than half a century. but i have to see, kushner's real achievement might be taking for himself. he comes from a world where but not a single person supported donald trump. he's from new york. >> elite world. >> tucker: very much a liberal elite world. he went to harvard. he doesn't have peers who share his view. really, you are supporting your father-in-law? he's the opposite of everyone in our world and he's doing it anyway. >> he had all

likely, amendments are not passed, you will see the shadow business secretary resigning from the shadow cabinet in the lords. government whips in the lords are not relaxed, but they are confident that pro eu peers will not seek to block the bill, and there are two restraining influences. they know that if they are seen to thwart the will of the people from that referendum, it is not going to end well for them. in the second place, any peers who have not appreciated that point are being told by the government, if you block the bill, we will hold an election with two key pledges — take the uk out of the eu and abolish you! i thought it would end like that! before we go, time for our fact of the day. as peter capaldi announces he‘s standing down as the 12th doctor who, in fact 1a actors have been credited on screen as the doctor, including the late john hurt. but we mustn‘t count peter cushing, because he played a completely different character calling himself doctor who. or the four comic relief doctors. or the evil valeyard doctor. 0r number 15, whoever she might be. anyway here they all are, yo

about brexit and labour, labour seems to be in disarray again, we have had a resignation from the shadow cabinet any kind of peace within labour when there are two distinct positions on brexit. i'm not sure it is about peace, labour is wrestling with the difficult issue which is that we represent for the kind of deal, and let me just say this one point, because people may not have focused on this. the vote and amendments that we have to this article 50 bill matter, and a matter for this reason most of all. what kind of vote do we get at the end? do we get a vote which is take it or leave it, either fall out of the european union without a deal, or do we get a vote that is meaningful, which is what keir starmer and jeremy corbyn and others are pushing for, and they are right to do so. ed miliband, thank you very much. as we've just been talking about, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn‘s doesn't want his mps to block the triggering of article 50. trouble is — not all his mps are playing along with that plan. a clear decision that we want all of oui’ a clear decision that we want all of ourmps to a cl

he resigned from the shadow cabinet when mr corbyn became labour leader and after the eu referendum ininto the whole eu referendum debate and that labour voters needed a new labour leader. now, his departure means that there is going to be a by—election in that stoke central seat. this is a working class seat, unemployment higher than in many parts of the country, and ukip are certainly going to be challenging very hard. they say mccain second at the last election and it could be difficult for labour to hold onto that. today the labour leaderjeremy corbyn the resignation represented a challenge to his leadership of the party. not at all. tristram hunt called me this morning and told me he was honoured to be offered the position as director of the victoria & albert museum and we chatted about that and about the work they are doing and how he plans to expand the museum and maintain free entry to it. he is sad about resigning from parliament. he has written me quite a long letter describing his work on education policy and the improvements that have been achieved in stoke—on—trent during

trump is apparently assembling a shadow cabinet, senior aides to shadow the administration's cabinet secretaries, creating a direct line of loyalists who can monitor and shape white house goals across the bureaucracy. rudy guiliani constructed something like this when he was mayor of new york, and he called them spies that he put in each agency. what do you make of that, susan? >> i think that's chilling. certainly at the agency that would be chilling. the agency' function is to give the president what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. so it will be interesting to see what happens when he gets an assessment that he completely disagrees with. does he shut the briefers out? do heads roll somewhere in the agency? >> and to you, cynthia, voice of america, which the united states has used to try to be a voice of legitimate facts and free thought and information in countries that don't have their own free press, trump is now appointing a new chief executive to that broadcasting board of governors. it's a thousand-person news operation fund by the taxpayers to the tune of $218.5
