the labour party can't shake it off. it was the dominating political row of the summer, and it was loud and persistent. it was able to be heard above the noise of brexit. this news today from the metropolitan police commissioner says that it has not gone away yet. and a challenge for a party that has done its best in recent months to try and solve this, we saw recent months to try and solve this, we saneremy corbin say at the party conference on a couple of weeks ago, but with an ever—expanding party with more than half a million members, then they can keep an eye on what everyone of their members or supporters are doing, and while police emphasise this isn't an investigation into the party, it's more an investigation into the dusty air. it's something that begs questions for the party leadership. not least, from margaret hodge who isjewish and particularly upset. it's very important that the police are now investigating this properly, but the labour party should referreed the cases to the police, particularly in the w

why didn't the labour party pass it to the police? it could be that individuals are at risk of violence. have even been told about what is happening? the questions to ask, and i'm concerned about the failure to deal with this in a proper way after the problems there have been. tom watson, the deputy party leader describing this as thoroughly depressing. he said he wasn't surprised that he also said if it does one thing, it means it will silence those who still believe there isn't a problem of anti—semitism in parts of the labour party. this seems like there isn't much belief that there is a problem of anti—semitism, and the only way the labour party can resolve this is acting on the cases brought to them. all the debate, it is clear the labour party is not acting in a proper way and potentially serious problems, problems that are being investigated by the police. would you expect the leaderjeremy corbyn to have seen this dossier? i don't know exactly how the internal mechanics of the party operate, but i hope that by now jeremy ha

labour could say they will vote relu cta ntly labour could say they will vote reluctantly for it in the national interest, and we have had strained scenarios in the past where prime ministers who don't have the support of the party have the support of the opposition, such as ramsay macdonald, robert peel with the corn laws. you know your history! i've read some books! it is possible for a prime minister. you don't have to, as long as you have the votes in the commons, need the support of your party. that is why i worry for some of my fellow brexiteers. i think they will give the prime minister no option but to work with labour remainers to get the deal through, with all down the line is that that represents. this is a huge opportunity forjohn mcdonnell, who can contrast is the labour party with reckers in the tory party and say that they have put the national interest first. the opportunity to establish economic credibility is huge for them. i think the labour party will drag their feet for a while. after eu leaders have made their intervention, and potentially markets, i think labour m

three points is not very much but for labour at that is quite a significant lead. what is interesting is that this poll shows that tory lead supporters are deserting the conservative party. and quite considerable numbers compared with a month ago, the conservatives have dropped five points to 36, labour is up to 39 and you could have gone up slightly. one would assume that the disgruntled leaders are going to ukip. we will talk about the poll in a minute, while we are on the observer, they are focusing on these five key brexiteers who have come forward and said we will stick with you, but we wa nt to said we will stick with you, but we want to make a few changes, if that is all right. this is the boring cabinet. you think the tory party, get rid of that silly bird and have a love of peace to calm everybody down. these are the five cabinet ministers who are getting together to try and get theresa may to change her mind on the deal and go back and negotiate something else. she says this is the deal, the is it, this is the end of it. europe's is the same thing. ——

no, and labour have to be honest. i don't think they're going to support theresa may. they don't have any room to manoeuvre. brexit is a political idea, and the eu is a legal construct, and i think people forget that because those two things don't really go together. the eu is based on contracts. but sometimes you have to get a political agreement. but splitting up the four freedoms is out of the question. the british service industry would like the free market and services differently. germany's argument that these freedoms are sacrosanct — you haven't let britain's services into your markets, so i think you can be flexible when you want to be. there is a misunderstanding between both sides... 0ne rule for some... as someone who is very anti—eu, but regards himself as european and is pro—europe, i think that is the tragedy of the vicious and dishonest way, on both sides, that negotiations are being conducted. both sides misunderstand and misread the other. maybe i have been guilty of this as much as anything, but i think the brits have thought you can fudge thin

over here, on the opposition benches, labour has 257 mp5. the scottish national party has 35, the liberal democrats have 12, there are eight independents, four plaid cymru mps and the green party has one. that is a grand total of 317 mp5, but as we know, brexit has divided the two main parties. some mps won't do what their whips tell them. so let's look at who doesn't like the deal. first, there is the dup, all ten of them. they can't vote, they say, for a deal that includes the irish backstop, so let's put them in the no column for now. then there are the 80 brexit supporting conservatives who are on the record as opposing the deal, and also the tory remainers, who say they will rebel. there are at least 12 of them. so the total number of conservatives against this deal now stands, by our estimates, at 92. next comes labour and all the other opposition parties, and altogether that could mean 312 votes against the prime minister. who's going to vote for the deal? well, the best estimate from bbc research is 225 conservatives will fall in beh

the labour leader, the labour leader said we can't stop brexit. the shadow brexit secretary said we can't stop it. so when he stands up, you should make it clear, is a labour party policy to stop brexit? jeremy corbyn! mr speaker, we respect the results of the referendum, what we don't respect is the shambolic mess this government has made up association. the mess they have created that they can now get themselves out of. we won't let them destroy this country prosperous economy or the jobs and chances of so many others. could she take him on one side and have a quiet word with him? and tell him that 10,000 lorries arrived at dover everyday handling i7% of this country's entire trade in goods. estimated to be £122 billion last year. this willful ignorance by a person in high office is disturbing to so many people. i will tell him where the willful ignorance lies, it lies on the labour party front bench which think you can build a better economy by spending 1000 billion pounds more, putting people taxes and destroying jobs. the real threat tojobs

into labour, you have labour remainers joining perhaps with the tory remainers, labour leaders that mightjoin depending tory remainers, labour leaders that might join depending on tory remainers, labour leaders that mightjoin depending on their stance. a couple of them with the drg hardline tory brexiteer group. suddenly we are in a whole new level of flux —— er g. suddenly we are in a whole new level of flux -- er g. jason, interesting in the times, they have gone through the usual suspects and started to say who might be picked off next essentially, penny mordaunt, andrea leadsom, esther mcvey, thought to be unhappy and considering their position is. interesting to see what happens. some labour remainer ministers as well —— considering their positions. she's at war with both wings of her party. they're becoming almost united over one thing, which is boris, brexiteer, johnson, and jo, the thing, which is boris, brexiteer, johnson, andjo, the remainer johnson, andjo, the remainer johnson, they are together, united in dismay at the chequers proposal. she is now going to have

and that is labour's position. how are you going to prevent the country leaving the eu with no deal if parliament rejects mrs may's deal? first thing is, no deal would be very bad for the country. i really don'tjust mean trade. before i was an mp i was director of public prosecutions. i was working with eurojust, one of the european agencies that shares information about terrorism, intercepts terrorist cells etc. we can't put ourselves in a position where we can't be part of all that. i don't think anybody, whichever way they voted, would want that. how would you prevent the country leaving the eu with no deal? i think the majority in parliament would not countenance no deal. that majority will therefore speak. what do you mean? what does that mean in practical terms? more mps in parliament will not accept no deal. what will we do about it? first there is bound to be a motion which would be backed very heavily, saying there is no mandate to leave without a deal. would that be binding? it may or may not be, there wi

she said labour has six tests, and said this is why my deal passes it. she is hoping to get 20 or so labour mps to back the deal which might help her get the deal. when you have the numbers, that is not going to be and not. the statement is continuing that everybody left the chamber on the labour side. this extraordinary tactic of having two different votes, and if we lose the first vote, and we watched the chaos of the markets, then parliament will have to come to its senses and support the second vote. it doesn't make sense. it is difficult to see how they can engineer that. make sense. it is difficult to see how they can engineer thatm make sense. it is difficult to see how they can engineer that. it is also quite easy. we also are old enough and remember when we had the chaos before the coalition government was formed, and it sort of feels like that. at least then we new there was going to be a coalition formed, and it was uncharted territory that they would pull together for the greater good. i can't help thinking now, why aren't we seeing something

the dossier itself came from the labour party and 45 cases of alleged anti—semitism the labour party examined itself during the summer. the material was given to the met police and today they confirmed they are pursuing some of those cases with the cps and they think they could be criminality here that needs to be looked at further. we're not going to investigate the labour party and we would always want institutions and political parties to be able to regulate themselves. however, if somebody passes us material which they say amounts to a crime we have a duty to look at that and notjust crime we have a duty to look at that and not just dismiss crime we have a duty to look at that and notjust dismiss it. we have been assessing some material which was passed to me in a radio studio about two months ago and we are now investigating some of that material because it appears there may have been crimes committed. we are talking about online abuse, online offensive remarks. she said there is a high barfor offensive remarks. she said there is a high bar for that offensive remarks. she said t

labour's position is different. they said they would block any brexit deal in parliament based on theresa may's current plan. their preferences for a general election but all options are on table, including a public vote. they have said that no one is ruling out remain as an option. a tigress in india which is said to have killed 13 people has been shot dead after a major hunt. the six—year—old tigress had evaded capture in the jungles of the western state of maharashtra for two years. activists had campaigned to save the tiger, but india's supreme court said it would not interfere if forest rangers were forced to shoot it. joining me now for more onn this is our south asia regional editor , anbarasan ethirajan. this is a terrible story on a tragic story. it had been on a killing spree. how story. it had been on a killing spree. how common story. it had been on a killing spree. how common is that? there have been a number of cases of human and animal conflict in india. if you go and animal conflict in india. if

a quote from a labour, labour shadow minister, labour, labour shadow minister, labour is divided, but what about the public! the tories are divided but at least they broadly believe in getting out. the express front page, we highlighted this last time, interesting if only because it gives a straight take on something we know the express feels strongly about —— express. this is interesting for the express. this is interesting for the express. the daily mail, the other midmarket tabloid, very popular paper, has also changed its position oi'i paper, has also changed its position on brexit because it's up to a new editor now —— under. the daily express is going very soft on her tonight. no betrayal headlines here at all. their headline is making the case for may, which is interesting. there are people in the pro—brexit camp in the tory party who have said for a while now that the thing to do is get over the line. don't worry about the details too much. if we can get past march the 29th and actually leave then it is still to play for because so little will be nailed down in terms

are they significant sections of the labour party that are likely to back theresa may? we've scrutinised this deal that theresa may has put forward, and we don't see the elements seeing good within it. we've heard the chair of the home select committee condemn it on securing our national security, these are important factors, and therefore, as much as theresa may may wish that she has labour supporters not going to come. you are an experienced parliamentarian. you know the power of party machines, at the end of the day, do you think theresa may will get this through? i genuinely don't know. it's a bad deal, we will come out of the single market which would cost jobs, we come out of the customs union, that will cost jobs. come out of the customs union, that will costjobs. we will come out of the customs union, that will cost jobs. we will come away from the european table where we can exercise influence over issues like peace and security, climate change, why would the british government wa nt why would the british government want to take the way, move away, from an area

after a late labour party dossier detailed 45 cases of alleged anti—semitic hate crimes linked to labour party members, scotland yard is now investigating. we have been assessing some material passed to me ina radio assessing some material passed to me in a radio studio of all things. about two months ago. and we are now investigating some of that material because it appears there may have been crime committed. the met is not investigating the labour party itself, but examples of online anti—semitic abuse which may constitute hate crime. the police is consulting the crown prosecution service. during the summer labour was engulfed in a dispute about its handling of anti—semitism. in september the party's handling of anti—semitism. in september the pa rty‘s ruling handling of anti—semitism. in september the party's ruling body agreed to adopt in full and international definition of anti—semitism and jeremy corbyn told his party conference he wanted an end to the dispute. the row over anti—semitism has caused immense hurt and anxiety in thejewish community and great dismay in

labour and the vote in parliament. labour and the liberals are against it, as are 80 tory backbenchers. the dup, upon whom we rely for our majority in the commons, and who privately are hopping mad that the prime minister, have said they will vote against it. if they lose confidence in her, we can no longer govern, so it will never go through the house of commons, and that is why now is the time that everybody realises that is, to have to do what we have done. we tried in private for months and months, literally, to persuade the prime minister to change course. the truth is, she really wasn't listening to a word we said. that's why when i published my letter yesterday, which went viral on the internet, i headed it, shejust doesn't listen, a direct quote from nigel dodds, the leader of the dup in parliament, who said that her she announced details. do you think the woman is for turning?” announced details. do you think the woman is for turning? i think she's com pletely woman is for turning? i think she's completely w

speaker, labour respect the results of the referendum. what we don't respect is the created that they cannot now get themselves out of. we will not let them destroy this country's economy. if the brexit secretary is still in office by the time the cabinet meets this afternoon, could she take him on one side and have a quiet word with him, and tell him that 10,000 lorries arrive at dover country's 17% of this and tired trade in goods, estimated to be 122 billion popounds this year. this ignorance is disturbing to some of the people. -- so many people. this government spent two years at negotiating a bad deal that will leave the country in an indefinite halfway house without a real say. yet, they think they can impose a choice on parliament between a half-baked deal or no deal. when a sensitive alternative plan to bring together -- gentlemanht honorable will not be shouted down in the house of commons. it is as simple and unarguable as that. alternativensible plan could bring together parliament and the country. even conservative mps say th

labour's position is different. they said they would block any brexit deal in parliament based on theresa may's current plan. their preference is for a general election, but all options are on table, including a public vote. they have said that no one is ruling out remain as an option. pakistani authorities have made a deal with protesters, who have been demonstrating against the acquittal of a christian woman who had been sentenced to death for blasphemy. under the agreement, asia bibi will be barred from leaving the country — but it's unclear for how long. the deal ended three days of violent protests across pa kista n. earlier i spoke to wilson chowdhry, who chairs the british pakistani christian association and knows the family of asia bibi. i began by asking him how her family, and the pakistani christian community as a whole, are feeling now about her case , after a tumultous week. the initial gut feeling for pakistani christians across the globe and in the homeland was immensejoy. but there was always the f

labour says it could still be decided by a public vote. if that's not the case, then all options on the table, including a public vote. schoolchildren held in isolation — a bbc investigation discovers more than 200 children spent at least five consecutive days in measures to control their disruptive behaviour. a senior police officer suggests lowering the threshold of suspicion for stop—and—search powers as a way of tackling knife crime. the death toll in the california wildfires reaches 31, with more than 200 people missing in what could become the state's deadliest fire ever. it's five o'clock. our main story is that three people have been convicted of being members of the far—right neo—nazi group national action — including a couple who named their baby after hitler. it brings to ten the number convicted this year of belong ing to a group which has been outlawed. adam thomas and claudia patatas from banbury and daniel bogunovitch from leicester will be sentenced in december. the group, founded in 2013, was forbidden under an

but then also the other suggestion is that labour voters as a whole labour seats across the uk would now, given the option, choose to remain in the eu. presumably they polled on this question in these places, because they are trying to put pressure on the labour leadership over its policy position. yes, they had been tried hard to influence the debate about brexit here in the uk, and with particular focus on the labour party. the government has consistently ruled out any public vote, any second rather read them on brexit, labour‘s‘s position is different, they say they would block any brexit deal in parliament based on theresa may‘s current plan, their preference for a general election, but all options on the table including a public vote, and the shadow brexit secretary said that no one was ruling out remain as an option. attacks on firefighters in england have increased by a quarter in the past year, according to their trade union. the fire brigades union says there were more than 930 incidents where crews were abused or threatened. the home office says new laws coming into p

there is a chance, so they say, that labour could come to her rescue, evenif labour could come to her rescue, even ifjeremy corbyn does not want his mps to vote for it. downing street had a briefing for labour mps to try to win them over, a tactic by the way that would infuriate conservative mps, but fewer than 30 labour mps turned up to this, and when you have 90 of your own mps who have said they are not go to vote for it, then having 30 who are interested maybe interested is not going to balance the numbers.

on the labour side we know there are some labour mps unhappy with jeremy corbyn's plan to keep all options on the table, talking about jobs plan to keep all options on the table, talking aboutjobs first brexit, they do not think that is enough. they want him to swing behind the idea of another referendum. she is trying to move people's vision away from the small westminster bubble to people's livelihoods, to issues of trade, going to the cbi conference today and saying, i have come to this deal for a reason because i thought people wanted to end freedom of movement. my deal does that. i also thought people wanted trains to be smooth, to protectjobs. my deal achieves that. she is ploughing on, getting our message out, going to brussels later this week and the summit on thursday. —— monday. she will hope he can get to the vote in the house of commons and at least put her plan to the house of commons. that is another hurdle and a pretty high one. many thanks. last week, quite a few conservative mps, including jacob rees—mogg, or sounding rather confident they would cross the threshold o

and this is not the labour party quoting this, this is from oftsed. ofsted says the children being off—rolled are the children with special educational needs, children eligible for free school meals, children looked after and some minority ethnic groups are all more likely to leave their school. these children, our most neediest children, are being failed by the system that this government introduced. emma hardy. the environment secretary michael gove has claimed the french president was speechless with rage over the uk's proposed brexit deal and what it could mean for the fishing industry. at question time mr gove told mps they should celebrate emmanuel macron‘s anger. president macron has said he would demand continuing access to uk waters for french fishing trawlers after brexit, as a price of a future trade deal. and opposition mps were also angry about what the agreement with the eu could mean for fishing. knowing that the prime minster has signed an agreement with this eu, in which she agrees to it, and i quote, just for your ears, "build an

prime minister really saying that we, labour, or any mp, the prime minister really saying that we, labour, orany mp, must vote for the deal notwithstanding that the brexit secretary will presumably vote against it and other ex—members of the cabinet will vote against it and she hasn't got support for it? to say i know it is a deal that does not command support and confidence on my own side, but please vote for it because the alternative is even worse. to arrive at this point at the end of negotiations is about as bad as it could possibly get. to recap on what dominic raab was saying, you cannot reconcile the terms of the deal with promises made in the conservative ma nifesto promises made in the conservative manifesto and he can't support an indefinite backstop. those other key lines from him this morning. what do you think that means for the prospect of no deal emerging from all of this? i think no deal would bea all of this? i think no deal would be a catastrophic ending and it certainly wouldn't deal with the situation in northern ireland, because if you have no deal, you have no arr

the labour party want. i don't think there's any appetite for that. we've had several elections in recent years. having another one on a wide range of issues wouldn't solve this problem. then become to the only option that presents a sensible way out of this which is to have a vote which gives people the choice of the deal the government has got or remaining in the rather better position of being in the european union. do you think at the moment theresa may is relying on her mps being whipped into thinking that this is the best deal, that the uk can get at the minute, and if they do not go that s10 brexit is off the table, that there is possibly a no—del scenario or a general election of labour or somebody else collected into government? is that what she is relying on, the you think? they are trying to frighten those wavering into thinking there are worse options than the one they have got. i don't think it is going to work because i don't think anyone believes the no—del scenario will happen, that it m

cases of alleged anti-semitism by labour party members. that was a couple months ago. police have now said that they will formally investigate some of those allegations. they are consulting prosecutors. and this is significant because labour is the alternative government potentially and it is a party that has struggled to de deal with anti-semitism. more than that, british jews often believe that labour simply isn't doing enough to deal with this, that it is tolerant of these sorts of ideas. and that is why they often describe the labour party as institutionally anti-semitic. in response to the news that police will be investigating it, the labour party says that it has a robust system for investigating complaints of alleged breaches of labour party rules by its members. when someone feels they have been a victim of crime, they should report to the police in the usual way. anti-semitism allegations have are gripped the labour party every since jeremy corbyn was elected. he is a proud left winger with a long history of sharply criticizing i

and labour have to be honest. i don't think they're going to support theresa may. they don't have any room to manoeuvre. brexit is a political idea and the eu isa brexit is a political idea and the eu is a legal construct and i think people forget that because those two things don't really go together. the eu is based on contracts. but sometimes you have to get a political agreement. but splitting up political agreement. but splitting up the four freedoms is out of the question. the british service industry would like the free market and services differently. germany's argument that these freedoms are sacrosanct, you haven't let britain's services into your markets soi britain's services into your markets so i think you can be flexible when you want to be. there is a misunderstanding between both sides... one rule for some... as someone who is very anti—eu but regards himself as european and is pro—europe, i think that is the tragedy of the business and dishonest way on both sides that negotiations are being conducted. both sides misunderstand and misread the o

the labour party on common is. the labour party on common islj didn't say communists, said marxists, there's a difference —— aren't communists. you don't understand what marxists are either! this is a big report from the university of sheffield, who have looked deeply into this, and they've found ways this could work in business. the labour party have done what the conservative party aren't really doing at the moment, looking at what could happen after brexit, what could happen once we've got this out of the way and looking at new and interesting ways we can address inequality. most people are very unhappy with how much profit a lot of these people make. the vast majority haven't seen wages increase in the last ten years, more and more are on zero houi’s in the last ten years, more and more are on zero hours contracts and if the university of sheffield have found a way to look at how to give people more of a say in the companies that own their lives, that's a good thing. i should make one thing clear... very

so labour effectively saying the majority of their mps are likely to oppose this. borisjohnson indicating he would vote against it as would his brother who of course resigned from government. others in the so—called european research group already lining up. other conservative mps saying they will have to wait to see the detail. the fa ct have to wait to see the detail. the fact that we're moving forward is good news. like everyone else i am keen to see exactly what is in the text. there is a lot of speculation at the moment and i think we all have a responsibility to comment on what is actually in the text rather than that speculation. but it seems that we're moving forward and that to be good thing. what is your message to the conservative mps this evening lining up to strongly criticised the outline of this deal customer we do not know what is in it, we've seen some speculative reporting but one thing i have learned through this process is the amount of speculation is always a huge. i have decided to base my thoughts and comments on fact and we will see in the

labour's lord grocott says the system is ludicrous and indefensible. his bill to scrap hereditary by—elections has just cleared another parliamentary hurdle. the earl of caithness is a hereditary peer and is trying to stop lord grocott‘s attempt to change the law. this is a very exciting day, it's a by—election for parliament. now, normally there's quite a bit of press coverage in advance. this by—election is slightly peculiar because there are 31 electors, so the mathematicians amongst you will know that that means you need 16 votes to win, and there are 11 candidates so far, although only nine of the candidates have thought it's a good idea to put out any kind of election address. so this is something which could only have been made up by gilbert and sullivan, but unfortunately it's been made up by an act of parliament nearly 20 years old now, and we've got to live with it until my bill gets carried, which i hope it does very soon. gilbert and sullivan? actually it was blair and lord irving. but i have no objection to the abolition of the her

a firming up shift in labour position. a firming ”p ”p shift in labour position. a firming up up that position, which is basically saying that if the prime minister does not get her deal through, they think it‘s almost inevitable, but after that, they push for a general election. they don‘t get that, the wording of the poster was anything is on the table. but anything specified was being on the table is another public vote on the table is another public vote on the terms of brexit, with the option potentially of staying in. yes, do you know what, he saw the sun inevitability, but the labour party have been fighting really hard to make that position or hear that think, were almost there. it is not taking labour and think, were almost there. it is not taking labourand a think, were almost there. it is not taking labour and a new direction, but it is getting more confidence to those who have been fighting for that position, the belief that it could be coming. and it is not to the labour party, there are a lot of people in the uk parliament on the snp benches, whe

this model is earning support from labour organizations including the northern california labour district council and we just learned today the teamsters joint council seven for this program. what it does is this. it simply says that there is an existing program in place with respect to workforce development requirements of cannabis businesses in the various sectors of this industry segments or segments of the cannabis sector and that is in place today. if the state advances and approves state apprenticeship programs, of which there is a proposal currently in from the state of california today which was submitted in september and could be approved as early as a few weeks from now, if the state does approve a cannabis apprenticeship program for the different elements of the work that is involved in cannabis, that triggers a second step in the ordinance. it triggers the role of our office working with the office of cannabis to certify pre apprenticeship programs on the basis of their advancing equity objectives of policymakers here at the board and the mayor and it also certifies those prog

what does labour do? it is not clear at this point. labour is not clear at this point. labour is divided on this topic and it is quite possible that could significant numbers of labour mps will vote against it. this indeed gives certainty to the business community which is good news for asian businesses. nothing really changed until september or longer and similar terms will roll forward after that. the current trade situation remained unchanged which is what businesses canvassed for. what is different is the uk will have no say in how the legislation which governs its trade relations with europe is shaped. simon littlewood. cyber monday is! with europe is shaped. simon littlewood. cyber monday is 1 of the biggest shopping days. many shoppers decided to go on line instead of heading to the stores. the comments rising by more than 26%. it is also prime season for cyber—criminals. what can we learn from last week ‘s amazon on data breach? that remains to be seen. but these are fortunate events that occur once in awhile and business has to ready for it. events that occ

no, and labour have to be honest. i don't think they're going to support theresa may. they don't have any room to manoeuvre. brexit is a political idea, and the eu is a legal construct, and i think people forget that because those two things don't really go together. the eu is based on contracts. but sometimes you have to get a political agreement. but splitting up the four freedoms is out of the question. the british service industry would like the free market and services differently. germany's argument that these freedoms are sacrosanct — you haven't let britain's services into your markets, so i think you can be flexible when you want to be. there is a misunderstanding between both sides. .. one rule for some... as someone who is very anti—eu, but regards himself as european and is pro—europe, i think that is the tragedy of the vicious and dishonest way, on both sides, that negotiations are being conducted. both sides misunderstand and misread the other. maybe i have been guilty of this as much as anything, but i think the brits have thought you can fudge thi

amendment, the official labour amendment, the official labour amendment, the official labour position. if that is the case, the question is, what happens next? it is not a binding vote but it would carry the moral authority of the house of commons and it would be up to parliamentarians to decide what they do next. some would hope the next step would be to move towards a new referendum, for example, but certainly in the short term, what it is designed to do is neutralise theresa may's attack that labour would countenance leaving without a deal at all. interesting comments from jack straw today, saying that this deal needs to be put back to the electorate in another vote and saying that within jeremy corbyn's own constituency, there is overwhelming support for another vote. do you think all this is pushing jeremy corbyn towards a more fixed position on this than he perhaps until this point hasn't been particularly comfortable with. no, i don't. jack straw is one of the more eurosceptic members of the labour party, he has always been fairly critical of some of the things you did. he had

we're not going to investigate the labour party and we would always wa nt labour party and we would always want and political parties and similarto be able want and political parties and similar to be able to regulate themselves. however, if somebody passesis themselves. however, if somebody passes is material which they say amounts to a crime, we have a duty to look at that and not just dismiss it. and we have been assessing some material which was passed to me in a radio studio of all things, about two months ago. and we are now investigating some of that material because it appears there may have beena because it appears there may have been a crime committed. cressida dick made it clear she was not investigating the labour party, just examples in this dossier. she has also said before that bar criminality and proving a hit crime has been committed, it is not good enoughjust to has been committed, it is not good enough just to be very offensive. —— hate crime. there is an investigation under way. this is the reaction from tom watson. if the neti is suggesting there are labour party m

you can't... from labour's yvette cooper. you can't. .. you from labour's yvette cooper. you can't... you can'tjust rely on critical statements for a no hard border, you have to have the arrangements in place to enable no ha rd arrangements in place to enable no hard border to be erected. you still haven't answered the question. sorry, that was the wrong clip there, let's try again. let's see if we can get yvette cooper. you also care immensely about, and know about the security risks to the country, and economic risk to the country, and economic risk to the country if there is no deal. after knowing you for 20 years, i don't believe that if the ordeal goes down, you are the kind of person who would contemplate taking this country into a no deal situation. and i wrong? it would be a decision for parliament as to whether they accept the deal that i, and the government, have negotiated on behalf of the united kingdom with the european union. i believe it's a good deal. i understand that, my issue is, i don't believe you're the kind of person who could contemplate no deal if

there is a chance, so they say, that labour could come to her rescue, evenif labour could come to her rescue, even ifjeremy corbyn does not want his mps to vote for it. downing street had a briefing for labour mps to try to win them over, a tactic by the way that would infuriate conservative mps, but fewer than 30 labour mps turned up to this, and when you have 90 of your own mps who have said they are not go to vote for it, then having 30 who are interested maybe interested is not going to balance the numbers. the telegraph, there has been an intervention from america. trump: made's deal means no trade deal. barack 0bama got into trouble when he intervened in the brexit discussions before the referendum but president trump is lying on anyway. it must have been a terrible day for theresa may, at least required a lot of stamina, and you would probably check your phone, or an aid does it, and then the president says he hates your deal as well stop not what you want at 90 at night but trump has been all over the place on this. if you remember, initially there was a loving, trump and may

but i will also say this, today we saw what really lies behind labour's approach. last night, the shadow chancellor told an audience in london that he wanted to seize upon a second referendum and vote remain. so now we have it — they want to cause chaos, frustrate brexit, overturn the will of the british people, and that would be a betrayal of the many by the few. does the prime minister agree that her deal will leave people poorer than the status quo? prime minister! the analysis shows... no. the analysis does not show that we will be poorer than the status quo today. what it shows... no, it doesn't. it doesn't. what the analysis shows is that this is a strong economy which will continue to grow, and that the model which actually delivers best on delivering for the vote of the british people and for ourjobs and our economy is the model government has put forward, is the deal that the government is proposing. in the next ten days, there will hopefully be informed debate on the government's proposals of brexit and various alternatives routes, including an election
