it has been passed by george osborne, william hague and peter mandelson.ou a sense of that important. it is a sort of deputy pm role. we are yet to hear whether theresa may will introduce that in her cabinet. we have also seen liam fox, secretary of state for international development, walk up the street and liz truss who is justice secretary ‘s, and justin green who was education secretary. no word from any of them if they have moved or what theirjobs might be. there is a flurry of activity in downing street. we do know, it is important to find out, some of the big jobs had already been taken or no movement. the home office, foreign office, treasury and david davis as the brexit secretary, and michael fallon as the defence secretary. we are getting a sense of her cabinet now. how important is this for theresa may as she attempts to show the world that it is business as usual? i think you have another arrival there. business as usual? i think you have another arrival therei business as usual? i think you have another arrival there. i think that is david li

william hague in the telegraph today talks about a cross—party commission, bringing in people of allf sense in that. if theresa may understood that she has landed us all in this mess, but her content to termination to rigorously control this from the centre, to make sure it is her way and nobody else given any credence, if she would undertake to reach out across the parties, actually we could have the makings ofa actually we could have the makings of a sensible way forward that would bring the different sides and parts of the political landscape all back together. there is already a cross— party together. there is already a cross—party committee which is discussing brexit. that is a select committee of the house of commons. that is a different thing. that is to give scrutiny to the action of the government. what we are talking about is a cross—party commission which would actually be managing the process. i would be interested in whether you had any words of advice for arlene foster and the dup as they embark on any potential deal with the conservatives, in the light of what happened

it has been held in the past by george osborne, william hague and peter mandelson.the absence of a deputy prime minister, it is seen as the most important member of the cabinet. a trusted friend of theresa may, damian green is doing that now. greg clark is staying as business directory. we have also heard on friday that the big beasts are staying put, amber rudd at the home office, boris johnson at the foreign office, philip hammond in the treasury and michael fallon as defence secretary and david davis as brexit secretary. not a huge amount of movement, certainly in the upper echelons, but today we have seen a subtle around. we are waiting five —— as shuffle around. we are waiting for more news. sajid javid, communities secretary, has gone in, we haven't heard what he's got. justin greening the education secretary has gone into. they have all gone in and have come out yet. ten cabinet ministers trooping out downing street and an interesting reshuffle of the pack. thanks for now and we will be back to you very soon. let's take a look at weather prospects. we'll star

herwarm—up man, talk about a blast from the past, william hague, who was foreign secretary and himselfhear what he has to say. he usually has a few good jokes. the alternative to a conservative majority is... booing. jeremy corbyn propped up by scottish nationalists and, i am not going to talk about him this morning, but if what he believed in worked, the soviet union would have become the most successful society on earth. we know what happened there. it would and disaster for this country. know what happened there. it would and disasterfor this country. i know what happened there. it would and disaster for this country. i am just going to say a few words about oui’ just going to say a few words about our prime minister who's going to speak to you, because i know her well, 18 years ago when i was leader of our party, i appointed a promising new member of parliament to the shadow cabinet. and guess who that was? it was obvious then theresa may was going to be a big figure in our politics and there she is now as prime minister and quite rightly and i want to tell you a little bit about h

william hague this morning. would that be your committee or a bigger thing?be done. you could bring in business, unions and others. to consult on the process. but you can't have that... if it is too many people you cannot expect them to be involved in the nitty—gritty. the point i'm making is i think there are a number of different options but in the end parliament has a committee whose job it is going to be to oversee that but also it will need to lead to changes in policy. the negotiations are taking place with the dup and the dup are clear as are all parties that they do not want a return to a hard border and customs. the government is taking a risk saying we want to be out of the customs union but sort of in. that isn't going to work. one step they could take is to revisit that decision and say if you want a guarantee for british business in northern ireland, then to stay in the customs union. forego the right to sign new trade deals independently? the us is already our largest single trading market and trading goods with china has quadrupled in the past

there has got to be more collaboration, talk about brexit with other people, not going as far as william hagueing a broader commission and looking at other parties, but he certainly does think it's a moment to think again about what type of brexit we are heading for. that is interesting. some of the cars drawing up, which suggests perhaps the dup delegation is about to emerge. let's wait and see the practicalities of a government of theresa may trying to work as a minority government, just to pick up on that, her sense has been because brexit, the brexit negotiations were due to begin soon, there's so much to negotiate, so much that has to be got right, has — is it just much that has to be got right, has — is itjust a working assumption within the conservative party that they've always needed these numbers from the dup, they've not even considered going out there on their own with the numbers they have on their own? i don't think they have. it's not — i think the problem they haveis it's not — i think the problem they have is that if you think about it the only thing that does bring down the o

and we have heard from the former prime minister sirjohn major, and other senior figures, like william haguement secretary this morning, saying that this has to be about consensus and reaching out across borders, this is brand—new language from the government. when it comes to brexit. many people are wondering where this is going to go and do some extent theresa may in that weakened position may find herself being pulled in different directions by those mps in her own party who are looking out for what they see as a ha rd looking out for what they see as a hard brexit, coming out of the free—trade bloc, the single market, and the other voices who say it is time to listen to other mps in the party who are concerned about coming out of the single market, time to listen to other voices in the house of commons and to listen to the devolved nations in the uk and those new tory mps in scotland who are very worried about all of this. we're not going to hear much more detail on this tonight, the from the government is that negotiations will get underway soon, but what theresa may will be looking out

decided that a politician is not much good, they don't change their mind, that was the fate of william haguen. jeremy corbyn for the last two years has been regarded by most british voters as incapable of being a party leader let alone prime minister. but in the course of this campaign is personal evaluation improved, such that by the end those polls that were asking people how good or bad the using jeremy corbyn is doing, he almost had as many people who thought he was doing ok as people who thought he was doing worse “— as people who thought he was doing worse —— how do you thinkjeremy corbyn is doing. given when theresa may started this campaign, it sounded as though the conservatives campaign was going to be a one trick pony. campaign was going to be a one trick pony, that is, strong and stable leadership in the national interest, but when that became rather fragile for the reasons you have been discussing around the launch of the ma nifesto, discussing around the launch of the manifesto, while at the same time people were saying, hang on, jeremy corbyn is not so bad after all. what happ
