vince cable, gratefulfor yourtime, we into play.d speech today in the commons that in your view, parliament is being ignored by this prime minister. can you still say that when she is going to allow these indicative votes on wednesday? what i find extraordinary is that parliament has voted against her deal twice, against no—deal twice at the prime minister stood at the dispatch box and said there is no reason why she should listen to the votes from parliament. that is extraordinary. we are always told that it extraordinary. we are always told thatitis extraordinary. we are always told that it is about parliamentary sovereignty, we are a parliamentary democracy. today was the day that a numberof democracy. today was the day that a number of privy councillors, myself included were given briefings as to the planning is for a no—deal scenario. it is sobering. i am not allowed to talk about the detail for reasons you will understand, but when you have got a prime minister saying if we don't vote for her deal and the default position is n

let's cross to york, where sir vince cable is making his final liberal democrat conference speech asg new regulations on daily bath and straight roads, and muttering darkly under their breath about all these foreigners from judaea and carthage wandering up and down. if you listen carefully, underneath the muttering, there was a phrase that you would hear increasingly. he speaks latin. i was expecting a reaction to that. but what it means is, we will take back control. they did eventually. the romans went home. i think it is the kind of timescale theresa may is thinking about. but they got their brexit. it took them about 700 years to recover. it was interspersed with periods of viking, rape and pillage while they tried the norwegian option. applause. well it did recover eventually, the french came and sorted things out. they and their descendants created much beauty in the city. starting with the minster. but there are also reminders of past ugliness. if you walk into the city there is this tower on the right, which is clifford's tower. in the 12th century, jewish people were put in

and sir vince cable has been talking about this tonight actually, saying yes, david steel suspended.itician, hasn't he? absolutely, and it strikes me is so strange that he has displayed such poorjudgement about this. as someone, as lucy said, in public life, you expect them to have a sense of wrong and to understand that they have civic duties and if you were aware that someone was involved in heinous crimes like this, you should speak out about it, he should tell the authorities, you certainly should not go ahead with nominating them for honours and carrying on as if nothing at all had happened. it is a very, very strange story, it took me are back, i have to say. lucy, are you surprised by this?” are back, i have to say. lucy, are you surprised by this? i am surprised, i think it is a very strange sort of scenario and the specific offences that lord steel asked cyril smith about were pretty serious, he asked him about reports that he had abused boys at rochdale hostel. i am glad to say that the lib dems and come out and suspended him over this, the deputy leader has come out and sa

the outgoing liberal democrat leader vince cable speaking in york a little earlier. heavy rain across parts of england and wales our correspondent luxmy gopal has the latest from hebden bridge. well, like many people living in areas that are vulnerable to flooding, people here in hebden bridge in west yorkshire went to bed last night feeling slightly apprehensive. the flood siren sounded yesterday, bringing back memories of the terrible flooding that happened here back in 2015, affecting more than 3000 properties. back then, this river was completely flooded and where i am stood now was completely submerged. that flood siren was the prompt for people to move their furniture upstairs, to board up their properties with sandbags and flood barriers. overnight, fire crews were sent to various flooded locations in yorkshire to pump water out of the basements of homes and businesses. today, fire crews also visited a number of properties in tadcaster, about one hourfrom here, that are still flooded. now, the rail line that had been closed, which was between todmorden and roc

point of order, sir vince cable.ne of the options such as a customs union or a confirmatory vote, which are, of course, compatible with the withdrawal agreement. if that is the case, is the prime minister then open to listening to the view of the house and considering how we might have a longer extension to explore them? speaker: i think have a longer extension to explore them? speaker: ithink the have a longer extension to explore them? speaker: i think the question was perhaps to some degree a rhetorical enquiry... that was vince cable, the leader of the liberal democrats, and we heard from ian blackford of the snp and jeremy corbyn calling for a general election. the prime minister defeated again by 58 votes, the third defeat, and she has said that the implications are grave. reaction from the solicitor general robert buckland. another defeat, you must be disappointed. what happens now? i'm concerned the house of commons had an opportunity to come together 110w had an opportunity to come together now and understan

sir vince cable. mr speaker, those of us who remember some infamously politicised legal opinions, as with the iraq war, will want to acknowledge the attorney general's total integrity and independence, but carrie explains why no lawyer how the respect for the international rule of law is enhanced by a unilateral declaration to break it? —— but can he explain? no, no, i mean... it was a... itwas he explain? no, no, i mean... it was a... it was to give with one hand and take with the other, the right honourable gentleman! with the greatest of respect, the right honourable gentleman is not quite right about that, the unilateral declaration is not incompatible with international law. it reserves the uk's right to take all measures available to it in circumstances where talks have broken down as a result of a breach of article five, which is the good faith duty, so it reinforces and further stresses the right of the united kingdom to take measures to withdraw from the arrangements if there is a breach of b

advocating leave they stage i want to get thoughts on something the liberal democrat party leader vince cable said since cable he said just on thursday the reason they adopted something of a cavalier attitude towards bracks i want to have a quick listen to this prime minister is almost doubling. the meeting about the economic aid that will be inflicted into our millions of british people and the answer you know the people searching for. how are people going to feel about that because whether people voted level remains you really think people voted for pain oh look it's a surveillance cable they sort of sneering leftist i mean he's at the end of his career anyway he was one the first people to call for a referendum on the european union membership he's now saying that we never saw the odd one but we now want a second one to negate the first one on the slate these guys are absolutely all over the place and not somebody should be taken seriously although in fairness to reason they said the voters could never second chance but she would three for her deal. well look he's not leaving the european

let me discuss this with vince cable. will you be voting for one option or more than one?” cable.y and tactics because it would be great to get an insight into what is going on behind—the—scenes, if mps can support a range of options, what is the most effective thing to do, is it to vote for a range of options arejust one of it to vote for a range of options are just one of them? this is an unprecedented situation, we have not had this kind of competitive voting where we are concerned with a range of options. the house of commons is very traditional and has a traditional standing in line for a quarter of an error. i think the tactics of this were a bit disappointing because we had hoped we would be able to vote in order of preference, some forms of brexiter worse than others, and to be able to show the way it works is that if you don‘t vote for your preferred option, you help the others, and you may finish up with an unintended but adverse consequence. the effects of the way we are voting is to make people a bit conservative regarding the way we vote. it is unfortunate because the

so vince cable, thank you very much.other opportunities to put their case. many thanks. just trying to get a sense of the timings in the house of commons itself, it is filling up again, so this is the vote on the amendment tabled by the labour leadership, and that is going to be coming up, probably in another five minutes, i think, to be coming up, probably in another five minutes, ithink, before to be coming up, probably in another five minutes, i think, before we step five minutes, i think, before we ste p o nto five minutes, i think, before we step onto the last vote of this sequence, if that vote is pressed by the labour mp chris bryant, and that is to do with trying to stop the prime minister in effect coming back with the same deal to the house of commons again, for a third time. but we will come to that shortly. let's cross now to brussels, where we can speak to our europe correspondent damian grammaticas. given that we have now had several votes a nd given that we have now had several votes and indeed the prime m

mr vince cable.ctly coherent proposition? i think that every time he stands up ina i think that every time he stands up in a statement or speech, a debate where i am opening here in the house of commons he tends to ask me about a second referendum. my view is that it is very simple, i wasn't not on the march because i was too busy, as he said, but he and i hold a different opinion. i do believe that it's important for this house, rather than talking about, and wanting to pass the decision back to the british people again, to say to the british people again, to say to the british people again, to say to the british people, we will abide by instruction you gave us in the referendum in 2016. the cost to the british people of any deal that the prime minister has put forward is between 34 and 39 billion pounds. what does any prime minister estimate is because a no deal? my right honourable friend has asked a important question. we have published analysis which analyses the cost of a no deal. asi published

here's one of them, vince cable of the lib dems. the meeting was positive, it was good—natured, the meetingatured, but i think there are unfortunately fundamental disagreements, he won't support the peoples vote if it involves the voting on the government deal versus remain. in practise, that's the only deal available, it means they don't support a referendum and praxis. basically, the labour party is still in the territory of trending... trying to find a proper brexit, it's more attractive to them. we've a lwa ys more attractive to them. we've always argued that there is no form of brexit, it's as good as the deal we currently know. alex i a lwa ys deal we currently know. alex i always have the perception that the opposition parties are not good at coordinating on brexit, is that a fair perception? the problem is they are fighting between them selves on one key point, and that is about whether there should be another referendum, so we know that the labour democrats and certainly the s&p are pushing for that, and they are to some degree frustrated with the labour leadership, jeremy corbyn,
