say brexit! all: brexit! and today, borisjohnson has fulfilled his childhood dream to become prime minister. i have seen boris, over the last few months, become increasingly reflective of the scale of the challenge that he is about to take on and i am absolutely convinced that he is emotionally and intellectually ready for this. he knows the scale of it, and he's up to it. borisjohnson's path to the top is a well trodden one — the 20th prime minister to be schooled at eton. the house will proceed to a division. he went on to study classics at oxford university. a career injournalism followed with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he relished mocking the european commission. i didn't want to be totally stitched up here. his profile was boosted by tv appearances. borisjohnson had set his sights on a political career, and where better than the safe conservative seat of henley upon thames. but even back then, as borisjohnson tried to become the conservatives' candidate, the local party was divided ov

the education department will be ready for brexit. every other department will be ready for brexit. that's what needs to happen. the nation has to know, businesses large and small, have to know that the government is behind them and ready to leave on the 31st of october. with a deal. if we don't get a deal will still leave. thank you very much. borisjohnson is facing challenging times for those are the words of the eu commission president elect. he has vowed to have the eu out by the 31st of october but with an eu which looks unwilling to alter the existing deal and a parliament that won't pass a new dealjust how will the new prime minister navigate his first few months in office? jim reed reports. our new prime minister was elected on a simple promise. i think it's very important that we get ready to leave on october the 31st, come what may. that date, october 31st, might feel like an age away, but in parliamentary terms there's not much time left to try and solve our brexit problem. today, theresa may will host her final prime minister's questions before the short drive to bucking

say brexit! all: brexit! and today, borisjohnson has fulfilled his childhood dream to become prime minister. i have seen boris, over the last few months, become increasingly reflective of the scale of the challenge that he is about to take on and i am absolutely convinced that he is emotionally and intellectually ready for this. he knows the scale of it, and he's up to it. borisjohnson‘s path to the top is a well trodden one — the 20th prime minister to be schooled at eton. the house will proceed to a division. he went on to study classics at oxford university. a career injournalism followed with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he relished mocking the european commission. i didn't want to be totally stitched up here. his profile was boosted by tv appearances. borisjohnson had set his sights on a political career, and where better than the safe conservative seat of henley upon thames? but even back then, as borisjohnson tried to become the conservatives' candidate, the local party was divided

with brexit. and thus far, from the very outset of the campaign, there has been a great deal of misunderstanding and frankly a great deal of misinformation peddled to people about what brexit is going to mean. now, nobody should be any doubt, and deposition, i have not changed it. i voted to remain in the european union, and it is an imperfect organisation. it needs reform, it's very frustrating, it's a bit out of date and there is a lot wrong with it. all that is true. but, to leave the biggest and richest free—trade market in the world on the grounds that you're going to go global is absurd. and the damage done to us both in the short and long term, people might think we are ok, we finished our working lives and perhaps comfortable in many cases, but our children and grandchildren aren't. and we are now making a choice at the moment and leaving the eu that i think is the worst foreign policy and leaving the eu that i think is the worst foreign policy choice that britain has made within my life

then what do they mean by brexit? 0n the day in which the brexit referendum was held, there were opinion polls saying a majority of people actually wish to stay in a single market. the interpretation of what brexit is is an interpretation that was not made during the referendum. no one in the referendum said we will have a no deal brexit. no one said that. not borisjohnson, michael gove, no one. that's something that emerged after the result when they began to harden their position. that position has been hardened and hardened and hardened ever since. the right wing of the conservative party, the anti—europeans more accurately say will push and push and push and when there is a concession or appeased they push more. and the idea of a completely no deal brexit was not what people thought they were voting for. whatever people say now, that was not on the referendum ballot paper, it was not what the referendum was about and it was not what people thought on that day in which they voted. and if parliament had actually p

or brexiteers only?” think it is a reasonable request of a prime minister that everyone in the government speaks with one voice and adheres to government policy but it doesn't matter how people voted, it doesn't matter how people voted, it matters that we built a government that delivers. from my time working with boris at city hall he is really good at building, leading and directing a team. i think he will do that at a cabinet level. do you think people will have to sign up to the possibility of a no—deal brexit if they want to join his government? we discussed this as if this is something new and unusual but collective responsibility, that means all members of government at every level abiding and communicating government policies, is nothing new. that is how governments are meant to work. i think it is legitimate to say members of government need to abide by government position. that didn't happen under theresa may, did it? what we should do now is speak with one voice our desire to deliver brexit a

after brexit, possibly by the end of the year but not before brexit if he can help it at all. the tory party can't go to the polls before we've left to the eu. if we do, we'll be marmalised. that's right. so, we're going to leave the eu in your view on october the 31st, and then an election, what, next year? i think so. i think boris johnson actually knows he's going to have to crash out because... and when doesn scotland leave? oh, for goodness sake... before northern ireland, i tell you that. it won't be northern ireland first. but it's going to fall to pieces if britain crashes out of the eu. what, scotland's going to join the euro, it's going to leave the uk, join the euro, this is ridiculous. and on that question which we don't have time to answer, we are going to have to leave it. thank you all so much for being here on the panel today. quite an interesting discussion was had and we will have another one, same place, same time, next week. goodbye. the recent heatwave seems like a distant memory, especially trapped under the weather front or weekend with chilly and wet co

this is a brexiteers to cover, isn't it? there is an error because the second point is an error because the second point is ltjobs is an error because the second point is lt jobs that is an error because the second point is ltjobs that the proud brexiteers, who are tory so it's going to be interesting to see how they define that sajid javid, as a remained supporter so he was one of the george osborne programming people, he'd been i think has said many times no deal would be on the table for him in order to get a better deal, but he certainly was not a brexiteers to begin with and i made a list of all the other nine brexiteers in the cabinet, you mentioned amber ride and there is nikki moore again, and they needed trade secretary who was not a brexiteers originality. not hancock and so... sega saying it's not press it to and so... sega saying it's not press ittoa and so... sega saying it's not press it to a government? it's me saying that it's a factual error there. trees and they was a remainder and gently in boxes or intern

and what about brexit, sam, are you ready for about brexit, sam, are you ready for a no—deal brexit? about brexit, sam, are you ready for a no-deal brexit? i think everybody has to be at this point. i don't see any signs that we are going to get ideal. both parties seem to be completely entrenched in their position, so whilst i would really love it if we could get a good deal over the line, love it if we could get a good deal overthe line, i love it if we could get a good deal over the line, i think the reality is that we have got to prepare for no—deal at this point. is that we have got to prepare for no-deal at this point. 0k, thank you very much indeed. as with everything, businesses here arejust waiting for the detail. danni hewson there and solve it. and we will have more on all of that later in the programme. the time right now is 18 minutes past one. our top story this lunchtime: theresa may receives a standing ovation in the house of commons as she bows out after three difficult years as prime minister she difficult years as prime minister heads to buckingh afternoon she he

why do you think the brexiteers like liam fox ? you think the brexiteers like liam fox? i would say, the question is just exactly where they fit into this particular brexit question is also a matter that we need to look at very carefully. it is notjust simplya at very carefully. it is notjust simply a question of saying you are a brexiteer, it is a question of what you have said and what you have donein what you have said and what you have done in the short answer is, the people have been appointed, have all demonstrated by their actions and was been and pointed for the environment is another one. these are people who really approve their worth and their strength. very good for the backstop? actually, on one occasion, that is true. but it is not true to say that she really understands the issue and completely committed. that is something in the past. this is what we're doing now what they said today and yesterday, absolutely speaks for itself, this isa absolutely speaks for itself, this is a really first—class team, a team of competence and remember also that dominic r

three yea rs on meant was brexit meant brexit. three years on the brexiteers can't even agree on what brexit means so we need to be able to have confidence that the public support the course of action that the government is taking andi of action that the government is taking and i think only way to gain that confidence, is through having a people's vote on that brexit deal, with the option to stay in the eu. if they voted again to leave, would you endorse leafing the european union? iam you endorse leafing the european union? i am not going to change my view. would you support leaving the eu? would i support it, be positive about it. i am not going to change my beliefs. would you vote for a... no because i was elected on a firm ma nifesto no because i was elected on a firm manifesto pledge to fight for scotland's place in the uk and the uk's place in the european union and thatis uk's place in the european union and that is what liberal democrats are here to do. that is the mandate we have, but if... even if the people spoke twice

is the ira already recruiting off the back of brexit and particularly a no—deal brexit? so we know that the new ira and other groups continue to recruit people and we believe that brexit provides an opportunity for them to encourage people to recruit. again though, at this stage we don't see any upsurge in recruitment or violence being driven specifically by brexit. the government has given the police service more money for an extra 300 officers and staff. those increased numbers are being invested in local communities along the borders and other areas where there are concerns about community tensions during the eu exit. if no deal happens this october, things could change overnight. so is the man who oversaw the planning worried about the day after? i think everybody should be worried about what happens in a no deal situation. we would be taking a step into the unknown. it is not in the uk's interest to have no deal, it's not in the eu's interest to have no deal. the rational outcome over the next few months is to get a deal. lorry driver matt is now arriving at calais.

to brexit. adam fleming is in brussels, morning to you, what reaction has there been, it would be useful for you to summarise what reaction there has been from europe to borisjohnson‘s victory. lots of eu leaders have been tweeting to congratulate boris johnson on winning the leadership of the conservative party and being poised to take over as prime minister later today, and use the word constructive a lot, hoping they have a constructive relationship. they have basically got to do that, thatis they have basically got to do that, that is what happens at diplomatic moments, those are the niceties you get at these points. the eu position on the brexit deal was summed up by michel barnier, the chief negotiator, in a tweet yesterday lunchtime, where he said he hopes there will be a constructive relationship, he hopes the eu will do what it can to facilitate the withdrawal agreement. so that is the divorce bit of the brexit deal, and thatis divorce bit of the brexit deal, and that is them saying t

say brexit! brexit! from journalist to mp, mayor to foreign secretary, many predicted that the scrapes, scandals and gaffes which prevent his rise to the top. —— would prevent. are you a member of the conservative party? but today boris johnson fulfilled his childhood dream, to become prime minister. he puts people at ease. he tries to level with them. he connects with people, which is part of the magic of his appeal, but behind that is a formidable brain, is a hugely disciplined workaholic, really, and a guy who refuses to take no for an answer. borisjohnson's path to the top is a well trodden one, the 20th prime minister to be schooled at eton. the house will proceed to a division. he went on to study classics at oxford university. a career in journalism followed, with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he relished mocking the european commission. i don't want to be totally stitched up here. his profile was boosted by tv appearances. borisjohnson had set his sights on a political career,

brexit deal or else. or else what? well, to leave without one, if he can, unless the eu backed down and makes concessions they've never offered before. so, what are the chances? well, brexit may be on the agenda next time eu leaders gather on october the 17th. we'll have an idea of how mrjohnson is getting on with his pledge to renegotiate the terms of brexit with the new eu commission president, ursula von der leyen. maybe looking for common ground, like germany's angela merkel. the french president emmanuel macron may be keener to play hardball on a possible extension, though mrjohnson says he doesn't want one. and certainly on the irish border issue, the so—called backstop, the big obstacle so far. brexiteers see it as potentially shackling britain to the eu, northern ireland, tighter. it's there to avoid stops and checks on the eu's irish border, keeping the uk within eu customs rules, northern ireland, even closer, if there is no trade deal after a brexit transition. mrjohnson wants it scrapped. no

is the ira already recruiting off the back of brexit and particularly a no—deal brexit? the new ira and other groups continue to recruit people and we believe brexit provides an opportunity for them to encourage people to recruit. again though, at this stage we don't see any upsurge in recruitment of violence being driven specifically by brexit. the government has given the police service more money for an extra 300 officers and staff. those increased numbers are being invested in local communities along the borders and other areas where there are concerns about community tensions during the eu exit. if no deal happens this october, things could change overnight. so is the man who oversaw the planning worried about the day after? i think everybody should be worried about what happens in a no deal situation. we would be taking a step into the unknown. it is not in the uk or eu's interest to have no deal. the rational outcome over the next few months is to get a deal. lorry driver matt is now arriving at calais. there have been no hitches. there has been no delay coming of

after brexit, possibly by the end of the year but not before brexit. s the tory party cannot go to the polls before we left to the eu. —— before we leave the eu. so we will leave the eu on 0ctober the eu. so we will leave the eu on october the 31st, in your view. and then an election next year? 0h october the 31st, in your view. and then an election next year? oh i think so. i think boris johnson knows that he is going to have to crush out. reid went as scotland leave ? crush out. reid went as scotland leave? for goodness sake... before northern ireland. it is going to fall to pieces before britain crashes out of the eu. this is ridiculous. we don't have time to a nswer ridiculous. we don't have time to answer the question, we will have to leave it. thank you all so much for being here on the panel today. quite an interesting discussion was had and we will have another one, same place, same time, next week. goodbye. it could be brighter in the far south corner. the liveable bay area. increasingly into northern ireland. this is where rain will conti

, keir starmer, to try and block a no—deal brexit. the mail on sunday runs a full—page splash on borisjohnson‘s rise in popularity amongst conservative voters, but the scottish mail on sunday focuses on a showdown between scottish conservative leader ruth davidson and borisjohnson over a no—deal brexit. and the sunday express has a poll saying that the public want mps to let the prime minister get on with brexi.t —— brexit. let's start with the sunday times, and this core group of cabinet ministers, it is a very different approach to theresa may, he is trying to ensure he gets brexit done and doesn't fall into the same situation as his predecessor. so we now have effectively the leavers in charge, whereas previously believe campaign, when theresa may took over, and many whose heart wasn't in it, so you could argue we are where we are, some people would say it was a lwa ys we are, some people would say it was always going to go this way, we could never leave with a decent deal, but there is a narrative which says the remainer

arrives in edinburgh for talks with nicola sturgeon — he says he'll work hard for a deal, she says his brexit approach is dangerous. we are very confident that there is goodwill on both sides, two mature political entities, the uk and the eu can get this thing done. this government and the path it is pursuing, ithink government and the path it is pursuing, i think is dangerous. a warning from vauxhall that it could move all its production from ellesemere port to southern europe if brexit hits profits from the plant. what's going on?! panic at food festival in california as a man opens fire killing 4 people including two children.

for brexit. 0k, of times out campaigning for brexit. ok, i know you will be with us through the evening. we'll be following his appointment in the cabinets. some prominent ones are far, some sackings that we had been looking at. penny mordaunt and also we have known, we have seen that the chancellor has gone earlier in the day. also, liam fox, the secretary for international trade. we will keep you up to the hour but things that are going on. but first, let us pause and take a look at the it is been a hot day today. temperatures pushing into the 30s. tomorrow get even hotter. current national record is 38.5 degrees, this is under threat tomorrow afternoon when we could see cabbages oddly up to 39 celsius. greater london area looked like the places to set a new chapter bracket. clear skies overnight, northern ireland bit more cloud and the threat of a future which. a warm start to the night, those cabbages will eventually come down towards the end of the night into the teens. that ta kes of the ni

now, i brexit they are aligned. trump wants a very hard at brexit and borisjohnson has made it very clear, he's taking britain out by october 31 regardless of the terms. sell on die, they are aligned but it gets tricky because of course borisjohnson but it gets tricky because of course boris johnson and the but it gets tricky because of course borisjohnson and the uk want that free trade with donald trump and he will be more willing with a hard brexit, but when things and broader issues come to the fore, whether it's iran or china, that's going to start to cause some tension and diversions. and whether that spills over, into this conversation about a free trade deal something we will have to watch. i day friends, do you think they are? we heard donald trump talking about britton trump and this kind of idea yes i much influence in this country, i day friends? i don't think friends is quite the right word, neither of these people really have time for friendship and i sense, but there is a personality day or two people

believe in boris, believe in brexit! for any new administration there is glory on day one but there were howls of protest from whitehall throughout the speech. this is a time of strife. mrjohnson is in charge because of the failures of his party and his predecessor. for her, time today for one last bout in the commons. farewells and tributes aplenty for theresa may, but it is politics. i hope that she has a marginally more relaxing time on the back benches and perhaps, like the chancellor, even helping me to oppose the reckless plans of her successor. she couldn't resist it either. as a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same. cheering. that duty to serve my constituents will remain my greatest motivation. applause applause, then, after years of defeat and disappointment. a former prime minister, now, slipping from the front bench, a small crowd gathered, just to say goodbye, rather than to know what is next. one more last moment at the podium where, in calling a

say brexit! all: brexit! and today, borisjohnson has fulfilled his childhood dream to become prime minister. i have seen boris, over the last few months, become increasingly reflective of the scale of the challenge that he is about to take on and i am absolutely convinced that he is emotionally and intellectually ready for this. he knows the scale of it, and he's up to it. borisjohnson‘s path to the top is a well trodden one — the 20th prime minister to be schooled at eton. the house will proceed to a division. he went on to study classics at oxford university. a career in journalism followed with a stint in brussels for the telegraph, where he relished mocking the european commission. i didn't want to be totally stitched up here. his profile was boosted by tv appearances. borisjohnson had set his sights on a political career, and where better than the safe conservative seat of henley upon thames? but even back then, as borisjohnson tried to become the conservatives' candidate, the local party was divided

this gets to the nitty—gritty of brexit and that is that borisjohnson nitty—gritty of brexit and that is that boris johnson thesis and that of brexiteers like insect look, it is not gone well, because people have not believed in brexit. 0f course, the counter theory there is either as course, the counter theory there is eitherasa course, the counter theory there is either as a much gloom and doom in britain is because people have lived up britain is because people have lived up set and thought oh my goodness, this excited for. it looks very different to what people like boris johnson promise. thank you so much. i will have to take for a pint later in the evening, so much to discuss. neither kebe across the developing here, probably somewhere through the evening. we are keeping an ion who is going into downing street and two will no doubt be digesting what is going on over there. that is right, still hearings carrying on. robert mueller is on the stand, there is a lot to play here in washington. and with the in london, christian for now, for me in washington and from question, goodbye.

too much around brexit or two per brexit or anti-brexit? i feel that there's too much of the programme time being used brexit. everybody knows that when the usual suspects, and the panel, we know what their views are, we know what they are going to say. we need to be diverse and find out what else is happening in the country. as far as the panel is concerned, i would lose the celebrity. i think the celebrity is there to promote themselves. celebrity. i think the celebrity is there to promote themselvesm sounds like you think the same, james. i am actually pro brexit and i feel that there is a prime remain bias, andl i feel that there is a prime remain bias, and i think that comes from the fact that so many members of the sort of london commentariat, journalists, think tank people get on. can we talk about nigel farage, because it is one of those issues around panel booking that seems to exercise people on social media. some people feel he's been on too much, what do you think? he has been on too much, and he stirs things. he was on the week

down to get brexit guyjust wanted to get brexit down to get brexit guy just would wanted to get brexit down to get brexit guyjust would not wanted to get brexit down to get brexit guy just would not vote for a deal you work hard to achieve?” suppose i assumed that parliament devoted to give people the choice that had been voted to trigger article 50, 8% of people in 2017 election voted for parties that said they would respect the referendum so i assumed people therefore would be eager to get brexit over the line and to support delivering on the book for people. but it was disappointing and what happens when you've lost about like that, yes, you've lost about like that, yes, you have reflection on why and what has happened but then you have to pick yourself up. the team has to pick yourself up. the team has to pick itself up and you have to go out because you have to work out on how to get this through. was there ever a moment where you sat on an end of a hard day and just thought i wish it was over? there are moments when i sat here and thought i wish we got brexit over the line. i w

the brexit deal won't be done for three orfour brexit. the brexit deal won't be done for three or four year, that is the deception being put forward. british people at the moment i think, it would be over in october, we would fight it... are you saying you would campaign to rejoin the eu, that means the euro and schengen. you know we wouldn't really be out. you know we wouldn't really be out. you would be. the truth is, a european partners want us to be in there and we could be in there if we haven't done all those agreements. rejoin the party, jo? the first thing to note is anyone who is sick of hearing about brexit, whether it is journalist, of hearing about brexit, whether it isjournalist, people watching programmes like this, is that you know, there the quickest way to stop having to talk about brexit is to have a people's vote and remain because we are talking about years of wrangling otherwise. i think there will still be years of wrangling. in those year, there would be week in, week out, decision after decision that parliament wou

he says, it it is all about brexit. he just ta kes a it is all about brexit. he just takes a fundament of the different view, given that theresa may's deal did not work in her years in office, he has the ability to do so. trying to co m press he has the ability to do so. trying to compress and wait for answers in a might be of seemed to done —— trying to compromise. how likely is it given the way some people see the make above his cabinets? some groups in society are never going to like borisjohnson as prime minister. ultimately what boris johnson borisjohnson as prime minister. ultimately what borisjohnson is trying to do is get that leave vote back, and you can see with his appointments — not just back, and you can see with his appointments — notjust in the cabinet but in number ten. vote leave coming back together. they are not worrying about what each mp in parliament once, getting the country back, and hope the bounce in the polls, looking like they are popular and reaching out to at the people wa nt and reaching out to at the people want will the

but for boris it still is brexit. but my point is you can do both, and for so long our political environment has been so dominated by the brexit discussion, that our domestic agenda, which people care about has been dropped away. if, as borisjohnson says, he wants to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement, and he's got what, 90 days or so, and about 20—something, two dozen of those will be parliamentary sitting days, he's going — he's not going to have much time for doing anything else other than brexit. that's a different question. that's been indicated of course that parliament can sit late and can sit on days it wouldn't normally sit, if required. so the days may be longer than that. and bear in mind, you can get things done in parliament if you have a will to. and that's what i take such comfort from. this is plainly a government that's got a determination to finish things. i agree with you, alex, that what johnson is doing is what the people of this country want, talking about things other than brexit. there is

talking about brexit, heading for no—deal brexit under a new prime minister, very quickly,. you have brought a house, haven't you? did you go into a house and say tell you what, i will pay you whatever you want and by the way, i will not pull out of the deal. you would never buy a car or house, we should have politicians or a bath, should have politicians or a bath, should we? there out there in public saying we cannot have no deal, will bring out the —— we will bring down the government for no deal. the same bring the song, because britain has no more negotiation. with the deal is about is it will hurt germany, france and know hurt us more and anyone who tells you it won't is lying to you. but, if you leave everything on the table, never closure options down there negotiation. you to be able to afford walk away though. when you're representing and buying your house, if you do not buy that house, if the house you're currently living in, the big question is whether the germans, french, do not blink and say, so be it. what do we do than? we have got no idea what's going to

brexit challenges. but now there's so much more. escalating problems with iran and with china, and out of a relationship which is the very cornerstone of british foreign policy, a spectacularly undiplomatic row with the united states. my guests today: agnes poirier of french news weekly marianne, american writer, jef mcallister, ned temko of the christian science monitor and veteran german correspondent and author thomas kielinger. welcome to you all and welcome to your red boxes. the race is nearly over. and in less than a fortnight, the uk will have a new prime minister. so i want you all to imagine that you are that chosen one. and, whetherjeremy hunt or borisjohnson, you have smiled for the camera — cameras, plural, on the steps of downing street and you are now sitting down to open that inbox. you've promised to deliver brexit but you face a new and unknown leadership team in brussels and mutiny threats from your own side. so you also have to repair relations with the united states and you have to worry about threat levels in

believe in boris, believing brexit. forany into a fragile situation. believe in boris, believing brexit. for any new administration there is glory on day one but there were howls of protest from whitehall throughout the speech. this is a time of strife. mr johnson is in charge because of the failures of his party and his predecessor. for her, pine today for one last bout in the commons. fa rewells and one last bout in the commons. farewells and tributes aplenty for theresa may, but it is politics. always barbs, also. can i pay tribute to her sense of public duty, i hope that she has a marginally more relaxing time on the back benches and perhaps, like the chancellor, even helping me to oppose the reckless plans of her successoi’. oppose the reckless plans of her successor. she couldn't resist it either. could i change my exchange with him by saying this, as a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same. cheering pleasantries now cheering pleasa ntries now from che

she had only beenin prominent brexiteer. she had only been in thejob prominent brexiteer. she had only been in the job for a few months and is suited and frankly it was a surprise that she was sad to. and military are disappointed as well.|j think this is a test of loyalty. going back to what you were just saying that on some levels it all makes sense. 0n the times, afternoon of cabinet carnage. what some suggest theresa may may try to do is balance remain and leave. boris johnson has remain members as well but the big prominentjobs are all exeter jobs but the big prominentjobs are all exeterjobs and the complexion is one of a brexiteer leave cabinet. was that a mistake of theresa may? to balance these competing interests when she should have been more ruthless? her mistake was nobody thought she was on her side. i got called a liar for saying that theresa may was a remain. remain as i convinced she is a brexiteer and brexiteers are convinced that she is a remain it. it seems... both cannot be true. so it seems she could have convinced either side that she was on their sid

and there is a hint of the new government's policy on brexit. when will the house have a chance to vote on their lordships' amendment to the trade bill and the customs union? why on earth would anybody want to do that? jacob rees mogg. and that's it from us for now and for the summer — we'll be back with you when parliament returns at the start of september. but for now, from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. good afternoon. some big contrasts in the weather across the uk this weekend. across the board it is a fresher field than the weekjust gone. it has been a glorious weekend in the south—west, devon and cornwall and into the west country, whereas for some, scenes have been rather more like this. this is just a couple of hours ago. relentless rain, particularly bad across the midlands and the north—west of england. throughout the weekend we are getting reports of flooding close to manchester and stockport. it is this where the front that is to blame, it has outstayed its welcome, only slowly pivoting at the moment, bringing more rain to nort

and brexit secretary, obviously. the choice of borisjohnson to become next prime minister will have reaching implications. president trump seems happy enough, at least for the moment. at an event earlier today, he had warm words for mrjohnson. we have a really good man is going to be the prime minister of the uk now, borisjohnson. applause. good man. he's tough and smart. they say britain trump, they call him britain trump. that's a good thing, they like me over there. that's what they wanted. that's what they need. applause. that's what they need. he'll get it done. boris is good, he's going to do a good job. for more, we arejoined by former state department official heather conley, who is now at the center for strategic and international studies. thank you forjoining us. theresa may bent over backwards to get on with donald trump, state visits, the whole nine yards. court bans at every turn. out what makes it more likely that boris johnson have every turn. out what makes it more likely that borisjohnson have a bett

is there a big difference between a no—deal brexit and have brexit with adl and that standstill a transition period in terms of number of jobs standstill a transition period in terms of number ofjobs not only directly by companies but knock on linkjobs that could be affected? yes, i think there is a substantial difference in this case. i think it's clear the industry very much needs a frictionless movement of components into the country and finished cars out of the country. if you lose that with a no—deal brexit, then i think you would start to lose jobs and assembly factories and then you will lose that of the component factories, and that i think is probably a bigger issue because the really big issue is a piece start to lose volume and assemblies, models going elsewhere in factories closed, then the volume —based component gets to be much smaller. those in favour of a no—deal brexit could say you're being pessimistic, we saw one person in the report saying the plant will closed and that using a brexit excuse. well, the plant is in a difficult situation, and brexit is not the only pr

deliver what kind of brexit? rob: i think he needs to deliver brexit. i was talking to somebody from the european research group that are pro brexit and they are clear that britain has promised the u.k. will be out of the european union november 1 and he has to keep that problem -- promise. that is the number one thing. they would like him to do it without a deal and he has -- it is not clear he can get no deal through parliament, so probably he needs to get something substantial from the e.u.. francine: if he has a cabinet is very diverse but still largely pro brexit, does he keep them enough on the side to vote through a compromise, withdrawal agreement that would be almost everything theresa may put forward but in name? rob: it is hard to know. this is what some tory mps call the lipstick on a pig option. they say they will not accept when he comes back from the e.u. asks thething, and he brexiteers to pretend to believe it. they are aware this is a possibility and they say they will not fall for it. maybe they will go for it and say it is enough. he

and the brexit party? that's right, he is extremely vulnerable. words do matter so using phrases like do or die by leaping at the end of october, people will remember that fault of the party faithful will remember that. he will bejudged on that. if he faithful will remember that. he will be judged on that. if he does faithful will remember that. he will bejudged on that. if he does not deliver what people want by the end of october, then you see people like nigel farage in the ascendancy once again. that is a risk, the risk of corbyn on one side which i think he is comfortable with. labour have the own issues with their failure to deal with anti—semitism, and the discord on the brexit position. i think he would be comfortable with that part but the risk of nigel farage and the failure to deliver what he had said he would, i think thatis what he had said he would, i think that is quite a big risk for him. mo hussein, thank you very much indeed for being with us again, former special adviser to amber rudd.

brexit or bust, they write that the conservative party is now unashamedly the brexit party. the centers have been pushed to the sideline and for many and seems that mr. johnson has chosen a path of confrontation rather than compromise. guest: absolutely. i am glad you had me walk through his resume because before he joined the campaign, he was not sure about this decision about leaving the eu or remaining, but what he saw was the political opportunity to fulfill an ambition. infamously, as a columnist for the telegraph,, he had two positions on leave and the no leave at the time of the referendum. it tells you, he was not sure. he saw this as a leadership opportunity and as you rightly said, he became really a leading face of the lead -- leave campaign which catapulted him to where he is today. he is so flamboyant, so charismatic, and this is what the face of what leave needed to really build drama and focus. typically been't sort of a finger to the wind going with the popular flow of things or is he grounded in real political beliefs? guest: he is an incredibly strong intel

then what do they mean by brexit? on the day in which the brexit referendum was held, there were opinion polls saying a majority of people actually wish to stay in a single market. the interpretation of what brexit is is an interpretation that was not made during the referendum. no one in the referendum said we will have a no deal brexit. no one said that. not borisjohnson, michael gove, no one. that's something that emerged after the result when they began to harden their position. that position has been hardened and hardened and hardened ever since. the right wing of the conservative party, the anti—europeans more accurately say will push and push and push and when there is a concession or appeased they push more. and the idea of a completely no deal brexit was not what people thought they were voting for. whatever people say now, that was not on the referendum ballot paper, it was not what the referendum was about and it was not what people thought on that day in which they voted. and if parliament had actually p

or soft brexit? do you think this is part of the funds the new chancellor is meant to be releasing for no deal? is this what we're talking about? this is something borisjohnson used to what we're talking about? this is something boris johnson used to say about philip hammond, he wasn't prepared to release the funds to prepared to release the funds to prepare properly for a no—deal brexit. borisjohnson's position is incredibly difficult, because his argument is unless you prepare seriously for no—deal brexit then you're not actually going to get a deal. you haven't got any negotiating leverage. he's prepared to spend £100 million of taxpayer money frightening the people of britain for the purposes of giving himself negotiating leverage in brussels. and also, i want to know which ad agencies are going to get this £100 million! some of them have been very pally, like the one with the enormous poster campaign labour isn't working, so are you going to further inflame the opposition with this orfind

chanting stop brexit! that wasn't me. even 110w stop brexit! that wasn't me. even now stop brexit opponents trying to distract. it's over now for theresa may and anything that resembles her government will stop she leaves a stack of problems behind for boris johnson. they applaud them all when they are on the way in. and his first steps in number ten are more bravado than continuity. suspicion is lurking at the choice of the chief of the leave campaign in the referendum, dominic cummings, as a senior adviser. and within half an hour of moving senior adviser. and within half an hourof moving in, senior adviser. and within half an hour of moving in, he was out of the back gates, off to the commons to hire and fire. forget the night of the long knives, this was the afternoon of the big acts. sacked privately in the swelter of the commons, more than half of the cabinet cleared out. one senior tory called it a walk to tories out! protesters on whitehall might agree. —— a warped takeover. a new chancellor, a new foreign secretary and a new home secretary too. bi

is the only true brexit. that's something i don't believe, something a lot of conservative members and business people don't believe. there is another way out of this, we don't have to go down the route of a damaging no deal. i hope that boris as prime minister will pave it to that more pragmatic, rational outcome. one last question, a by—election next week, as you know, in brecon and radnorshire, your neck of the woods, if you like, is this the first electoral test that boris johnson will face? the polling at the moment suggest that the conservatives are lagging behind the limb turns? it will be a test for boris, that the campaign has been running for quite a number of weeks of there. the senses that the issues behind that by—election long predate this leadership contest. but i think it will do the party a world of good if boris was to come to wales, maybe drop into the campaign and show that he's backing the candidates. make no mistake, i think that is going to be challenging day for us at that by—ele

deliver brexit... that is a complicated process to deliver brexit. we are in such a mess, whatever you think about what should happen, whether we could be going out with no deal or whether we shouldn't. it is such a mess constitutionally it is so difficult to we are in a situation where it was the last parliament the triggered article 50. in theory therefore we have to have the permission of the current parliament in order to transact on it and to leave with no deal. because no previous parliament is allowed to bind a current one. it must go to parliament and their is not a parliamentary majority in favour of no brexit. it will be interesting to see how early in the 100 days that borisjohnson has that see how early in the 100 days that boris johnson has that that see how early in the 100 days that borisjohnson has that that question gets asked. i cannot believe that the speaker will not allow it to be asked by somebody. you are a member of the conservative party and you had a vote in the leadership contest and it was not for boris, was it, your vote?

we know he was a brexiteer, are you happy to see brexit happen? whetherl am happy or not is almost irrelevant. that is the way the country voted and that is what is now going to be delivered. that is how we stand. heidi feel about a no—deal brexit? we are not ready for no deal. the issue now is for the european parliament to realise they will confront a no deal and it will be worse for them then and it is for us. worse for them then and it is for us. so from the irish backstop to discussions later, you cannot tell me we cannot solve the added backstop. what you things will boris bring to the uk, compared to theresa may? does he have some magic power? then a nice question. i think it is to do ina then a nice question. i think it is to do in a way with a sense of what is possible. i think, to do in a way with a sense of what is possible. ithink, honestly, you could say brexit is not such a big deal. in may 1940, august 1940, this country related face challenge. come on, if we handled august 1940 and the battle of britain, do not tell me we cannot

it would really be the way towards ensuring no brexit or brexit. extremely pessimistic both on the economic, political risks. i don't think that is pricing yet. i think we will see a rate cut, rather than a hike. manus: you paint some very potent visual symbols there. you have to watch of the european parliament speech to begin to understand the kind of rhetoric that is being used. a rate cut by the bank of england by the year end. what else could carney do? do you think there is a risk of more qe? do you think there is something more radical he needs to do because of this push and shove by other central banks? it is almost like a cataclysmic double punch. lena: i think the bank of england faces two difficult realities. one of them is that an environment where you have geopolitical volatility and risk driving economic unpredictable at, it is very difficult to anticipate the kind of direction, the net balance of risks the economy will take and therefore act preemptively. the view here is is that when you have supply-side disruption, as is the case i
