michael gove, he was clearly close with michael gove. he feels let down by michael gove. he feels let down by michael gove. he feels let down by michael gove. michael gove, during that campaign, along with boris johnson, along with priti patel, left the truth at home. a reference a macro a reference also to penny mordaunt about turkey during the year —— mordaunt about turkey during the year——a mordaunt about turkey during the year “ a reference... mordaunt about turkey during the year —— a reference... turkey did not have a cat in hat chance of joining the eu. he uses, about michael gove, the word mandate shows. —— the word mendacious. when he put that to cameron, the interviewer, he said i don't the guy said that. quite a strong line. absolutely. cameron says, in the book and in the interview, that he's been very honest about his feelings about how the referendum went and how, the behaviour during and after it. all the remarks are out there, he is... his strongest words are held for michael gove and boris johnson. he thought boris was a good mayor but m

michael gove as you know for yea rs mistake? michael gove as you know for years as a strongly eurosceptic and to then bruise his ego and he flipped to the other side when the referendum was called.|j flipped to the other side when the referendum was called. i wouldn't categorise it as a mistake but when history is written i think it is an important moment. some viewers may think i am belittling what has been a major event in our countries history but any historian knows it isa mix history but any historian knows it is a mix of trains and individual personalities. i thought david cameron did the right thing. michael gove is my oldest friend in politics but i knew and although he carried out really important reforms he had lost a lot of support. i think david did the right thing of moving him on and brought him straight out into government after the election. it broke a bond between them and although i think michael gove would have supported leave anyway, i think he may have found thatjourney easier having felt that david cameron

michael gove is lucky he is in the cabinet given what he didm michael gove is lucky he is in the cabinet given what he did. it kind of stabbed pm johnson and mounted his own challenge which he then lost it obviously no love lost but how on earth... there are so many divisions, how the heck are you going to do that? pm johnson, he has got to watch his language, he was being viewed as a leper after the brexit vote. that is a terrible word to use. he has got to watch his language and behave like a prime minister. some relationships are probably never going to recover. element i think so. assurances were given that were not kept. there was an administration... of course, it is sad there has been a personal breakdown of relationships as well. iran it is ready forfully breakdown of relationships as well. iran it is ready for fully fledged warand iran it is ready for fully fledged war and this is after the us said it was iran who was responsible for the drone attacks on the saudi oil facilities rather than the houthi rebels backed by iran in yemen. this is terrifying on so many levels. drones a

he lashes out heavily at michael gove. he says that boris johnson didn't really care very much about leave remain, and didn't really think too deeply about it. the fact he doesn't trust the current prime minister, i think, is key. and it is interesting what he reveals about his personal relationship with michael gove. he says michael gove behaved appallingly, and so too did boris johnson and so too did priti patel and so did did penny mordaunt. he was referring about contacts not just to the £350 million on the side of the bus, which he says was obviously a case of them leaving the truth at home, his words, not mine. but there are references to turkey joining the eu, and the threat of immigration, mass immigration coming to this country. which, as we all know, was not a viable option at that time and probably still isn't. 0ne that time and probably still isn't. one interesting little detail about their relationship, david cameron and michael gove, apparently when he asked him to take anotherjob in cabinet at michael gove

the former prime minister david cameron has accused boris johnson and michael gove of trashing his government with what he describes as their appalling behaviour during the brexit referendum. in his first major interview since leaving downing street, three years ago, mr cameron has told the times newspaper that the result of the referendum left him feeling depressed, and that he worries about it every day. here's our political correspondent susana mendonca. it was a decision that brought down his premiership and set britain on a turbulent course to leaving the european union, which we are all still on. up until now, david cameron has kept quiet about brexit but not anymore. in his memoirs, former prime minister said... he has tough criticism for the current prime minister, boris johnson, and cabinet minister michael gove, who mr cameron said left the truth at home during the 2016 eu referendum and behaved appallingly. he doesn't use the word betrayed but talking to him over 90 minutes as i did, it was perfectly clear the herd and sense of frustration he had with his former colleagues who he s

michael gove categorically there said they would be no shortages of fresh food. we have had a contradiction of that from the british retail consortium. it said that it is categorically untrue that there will be no shortages of fresh food and point to the government's own assessments of what might happen in an event of a no—deal brexit and points to this assessment saying the flow of goods will be reduced from a0 to 60% on day one. criticising what we have heard from michael gove and bring that into question. thank you very much. thank you. in hong kong, there've been fresh confrontations between police and pro—democracy demonstrators — trying to bring hong kong's international airport to a standstill. last night, some protestors on the hong kong metro were beaten by police. with the latest from the airport, here's our correspondent, stephen mcdonnell. activists have to an extent at least achieved their goal here at the airport in hong kong. that gate they are is where passengers would normally come out to reach buses, you can see it is closed. here is a bar

they are contradicting what we have heard from michael gove. michael gove said a pick and a book, let's see what the legislation says this week. as far as the week ahead goes, what is coming up? this is going to be a pretty busy week. i think the three key thing for the mps want to start a no—deal brexit, is whether they have the number and the time to get it through parliament. the time is very short. they are also looking at whether they will get enough tory rebels tojoin them. whether they will get enough tory rebels to join them. we understand some conservative backbenchers and former ministers are going to be meeting with the prime minister tomorrow. he will be wanting to outline to them where his negotiations with the eu are going and whether or not that is enough to get them on side. we have seen calls from michel barnier today, talking about the idea of an irish backstop is not negotiable, as far as he is concerned. that will have an impact on mps who are thinking about going with the opposition. we are expecting more protests as well

there is a sort of says that michael gove had broken his word. he apparently told david cameron when he decided he would campaign for the leeds side that he would make one speech during that he would make one speech during that campaign and one speech only. of course, he became one of the majorfigureheads of the of course, he became one of the major figureheads of the campaign. for borisjohnson, major figureheads of the campaign. for boris johnson, their relationship, he doesn't call it rivalry, but it was certainly more distant. he said he worked well with him when he was mayor of london david cameron was prime minister and he found him amusing, but he also said, ican he found him amusing, but he also said, i can neverfully trust him, and when i said for example, during the leadership campaign when boris johnson said they would be one chance in a million of the no—deal brexit, did you trust him on that? and david cameron said, well, i think my calculation of the odds is slightly different from his. there we re slightly different from his. ther

as for michael gove, they were closer, theirfamilies as for michael gove, they were closer, their families were friends, they had worked closely in cabinet together, of course, and they really don't speak to each other now, the odd text, i think, and the very most. he does talk about whether party is at the moment, he flags up the possibility of perhaps another referendum to settle brexit. the possibility of perhaps another referendum to settle brexitlj the possibility of perhaps another referendum to settle brexit. i was astonished that he mentioned the possibility of a second referendum, says the first referendum had gone so badly wrong for him. i think he's just looking at this logically, we are at this past, how do we get out of it? a second referendum would be a possibility. buti of it? a second referendum would be a possibility. but i got no says that he was to campaign for that. i think his days in political life are passed. finally, andrew, obviously there is a great deal of public anger on all sides in the question of brexit, is david cameron feeling the brunt of that, personally?

, michael gove, boris johnson, that they are liars. they will pivot on a point is that every single one of them has been quoted, particularly in the leadership race, every single one of them, matt hancock, they all said pro— broking, no dealand them, matt hancock, they all said pro— broking, no deal and suddenly it is acceptable. ———— proroguing. when you talk about lies and when we talk about lies you have to assume that the people telling those things that the people telling those things that you regard as lies are liars, you seem to be part of the corrosive, toxic atmosphere in british politics. i want to be honest. i want people to be honest and that is why this week we voted to request the yellowhammer documents to be released because we think it is important that the british public have the eyes wide open. if we have a second referendum and they say, you know what, we understand the risks now and we understand the risks now and we understand what happens to food shortages, medicine shortages, then we understand that,

i said to him, you call michael gove, he was a close personalfriend... and as for borisjohnson, he says he was always amusing, he has worked well with him, in the past but doesn't always trust him. david cameron also admits that he failed and some people will neverforgive him for holding a referendum. he said he thinks about it every single day, but believes that calling it was right and he felt it was inevitable. but claims by mr cameron in his interview with the times magazine that the referendum campaign turned into a terrible tory psychodrama have been disputed by a prominent sleeve campaigner. millions of people, 33 million people voted, 17.4 million of them voted because they wanted to leave the european union. they didn't care a figabout a tory psychodrama or anything else. most of them put aside party loyalties and voted on the issue. david cameron has also weighed in on the row over the suspension of parliaments, describing using prorogation as a sharp practice that has rebounded. he admits that there is a blockage and that the man that has been

michael gove was very clear that the prime minister has the numbers on his side. i believe that a majority of mps in the house of commons this week will back the prime minister because we know the prime minister is making progress with our european friends and allies in order to secure a deal. i do think people will want to put a road block in its way. we all want to leave with a deal and we know as a result of the conversations that the prime minister's had with emmanuel macron and angela merkel, that the withdrawal agreement that they stated was a block of marble and could not be altered, is now capable of being changed. i don't think that michel barnier got that memo. we do not know what is going on behind—the—scenes. but the government say they are trying to get a deal with the european union but we have heard from keir starmer about that. he is saying why are we not heeding noises from the european union about that? -- noises from the european union about that? —— hearing. there are lots of rumours about would borisjohnson go for a general election an

gove or borisjohnson, that what he said about michael gove or boris johnson, that is just what he said about michael gove or borisjohnson, that is just on the nature of politics, but for not understanding the country and not creating a policy response that would have made the demand for brexit sort of vanish into thin air. ina way, brexit sort of vanish into thin air. in a way, he continued the long line of only working for the top 10% of the country, liberal conservatism in the country, liberal conservatism in the way only helps the economically advantaged in the already well positioned, that is the line of critique i would have against the prime minister. interesting hearing your thoughts. i am worried about that big stack of books behind you, that big stack of books behind you, that any moment now it is going to collapse. that needs addressing. that any moment now it is going to collapse. that needs addressingm is part of the dynamics of an intellectual life, it can all fall apart atany intellectual life, it can all fall apart at any moment, it is kind of a book stack art object. we

he is attacking johnson and michael gove, not saying identity referendum and we are hurtling towards no deal which is going to hurt people and the pocket on physically effort as medicine shortages, no deal is really bad and he is not engaging with that, he is going they were horrible to me and anything would have been fine except for these other people. it is a bit pathetic. the currency of political memoirs is good to be personalities rather than issues and you know don't talks of all kinds of issues but it is too tempting for a newspaper to splash this on the front page. the headline about the lawyers, he also has a pop at the famous bus believing women £350 million extra for the nhs and he said that wasn't true and on the front page they had an extra well in the sunday times, they have the photos and michael gove and dominic cummings. the something of the night about him. that is an absolute attack on them but also in the book attack on them but also in the book a very moving extract which is about the camerons losing their first son. whilst that is the political psychodrama that

on michael gove, he writes this. michael gove, the liberal minded, carefully considered conservative intellectual, had become a foam—flecked faragist warning that the entire turkish population was about to come to britain. but today michael gove was keeping his feelings to himself. he has accused you of being a faragist, a populist, how do you feel about that? others, too, are in the firing line. david cameron says he was most shocked by claims from the then employment minister now home secretary priti patel. i was secretary priti patel. iwasa secretary priti patel. i was a mistake in david cameron's government, it was a privilege, and i enjoyed working with him. obviously, the referendum has happened, we have all moved on and the fact is we are now working to deliver that referendum mandate. there is no point going over the past. more than three years after he resigned, david cameron has broken his silence at a crucial time for both brexit and number 10's current incumbent. the us secretary of state mike pompeo ha

michael gove was very different. they were close friends, close family friends and there was a sense of personal betrayal about michael gove that there was not about borisjohnson. i think that is why you see in the memoirs, a lot more personal animosity towards michael gove. there is a lot of anger about david cameron clearly from remain supporting people and there is word that preorders about the book have not been very good and some book shops actually do not want even sell the book. do you think that is going to be an important book or a book that people want to read? well, she is not everyone's favourite person at the moment, the remainders are very angry with and that group and have the country because he caught the referendum and they think you should not have called it and he fought badly in the brexiteers are very angry with him for supporting remain. it has not gone remotely well so it is a difficult time for the book to come out and it was going to come out earlier but the decision was taken to delay it unt

michael gove is the cabinet minister responsible for brexit planning. talking a short time ago on newsnight, hilary benn gave his reaction to the publication. imean, it i mean, it is extraordinary that these are consequences that could flow from the government's own policy. normally when you're protecting against something like this, it's natural disaster, the action of others you don't control. its government policy if no agreement is reached with the eu to inflict a no—deal brexit, and this is what the government says could happen and it shows you know, emily, that parliament was absolutely right last week to legislate to prevent a no—deal brexit on the 31st of october because on that occasion, farfrom being set october because on that occasion, far from being set against the people, what parliament was doing was standing up for the people, jobs, communities, industries, businesses to prevent the government from inflicting these potential consequences on the people that we represent, and we should be in parliament now continuing to hold the govern

michael gove was very clear that the prime minister has numbers on his side. i believe that a majority of mps in the house of commons this week will back the prime minister because we know the prime minister is making progress with our european friends and allies in order to ensure a deal. to secure a deal. i think people will not want to put a road block in its way. we all want to leave with a deal and we know as a result of the conversations that the prime minister's had with emmanuel macron and angela merkel, that the withdrawal agreement that they stated was a block of marble and could not be altered, is now capable of being changed. seen from space, hurricane dorian is scything through the atlantic ocean. i don't think that michel barnier got that memo. but the government say they are trying to get a deal with the european union but we have had from keir starmer about that. there are lots of rumours about would borisjohnson there are lots of rumours about would boris johnson go there are lots of rumours about would borisjohnson go for a general election a

even more critical of michael gove, now in cabinet minister position... i could not believe what he was saying, michael gove, the conservative liberal minded intellectual, had become like nigel farage warning that the entire turkish population was about to come to britain. neither mr gove nor mr johnson have responded tonight. the former conservative mp and universities' minister, sam gyimah, has defected to the liberal democrats. the party leader introduced their newest mp at the annual conference in bournemouth this evening. he was one of 21 tories who were expelled when they rebelled against borisjohnson to block a no deal brexit. mr gyimah becomes the sixth mp tojoin the lib dems in the last three months. his defection comes as their leader jo swinson proposed cancelling brexit without another referendum. former wales rugby captain gareth thomas has revealed he is hiv positive. he says he wants to learn more about his illness and hopes by revealing his diagnosis he can help "break the stigma" around the condition. i want to remember what it was like t

this afternoon after the prime minister, we will be hearing from michael gove. he was alongside boris johnson leading the referendum campaign to leave the eu and he is now effectively in charge of no deal preparations. there has been a significant leak recently, yellowhammer, the name given to no deal preparations, a lot of that led to newspapers and there has been much speculation about that with michael gove saying that is worst—case scenario. michael gove saying that is worst—case scenario. other people saying it is not. he also said it was out of date and other people including pam and the former chancellor i saying it is from the beginning of august. this is what michael cohen had to say earlier. we have of course to prepare for every eventuality and that is the function of operation yellowhammer. it is an exercise in anticipating what a reasonable worst—case scenario might involve. and how we can then mitigate any risks. the operation yellowhammer assumptions are not a prediction of what is likely to happen, nota prediction of what is likely to happe

michael gove and borisjohnson, particularly michael gove, seen as serious politicians, and during the campaign they wrapped themselves up in lies and mystery and haven't really stopped. david cameron is talking about the lies related to 350 million on the bus or about turkeyjoining related to 350 million on the bus or about turkey joining the related to 350 million on the bus or about turkeyjoining the eu. recently boris johnson about turkeyjoining the eu. recently borisjohnson has carried this on... these are allegations. the scottish court said it wasn't convinced by the reasons that had been presented to the court, we are not sure of what exactly he said to the queen. the supreme court will rule on that this week so we should probably leave that aside for now. but a lot of things said in the campaign were true and they were criticisms of the way the eu operated at the time, and on issues where, for example, immigration, a policy of free movement, that exists asa policy of free movement, that exists as a policy that we had signed up to, and that was a reason why some people who vote

is there no part of you that can see what michael gove is saying? but new politics has to be honest. new politics has to tell the public what the risks are, and that is the entire reason why there are many of us, and i suspect a majority in the house of commons now, believe that a second referendum is the way out of this, to be honest with people. but heidi allen, you have made that point and i respect... if i may finish. ..please just say to me... do you do you not recognise there is some truth in what michael gove says about failing to deliver on the referendum result, leading to a catastrophic lack of faith in the british public in the democratic system? democracy does not live on one day only. democracy is not owned by the people that voted on one day only. democracy is alive and well every single day. we've had more general elections since we had the referendum... yes, and obviously overwhelmingly the votes went to parties who were committed to delivering brexit. but polling is shifting, polling is showing, not everywhere in the uk but in a sig

he and his cabinet colleague michael gove are accused by mr cameron colleague michael gove are accused by mrcameron in colleague michael gove are accused by mr cameron in his new book of behaving appallingly during the 2016 referendum. he actually, in the book, i said call that michael gove who was a close personal friend, mendacious, and borisjohnson, and he says he has always found him amusing, he has worked well with him in the past but he doesn't always trust him. david cameron also admits that he failed and that some people will never forgive that he failed and that some people will neverforgive him that he failed and that some people will never forgive him for holding a referendum. he says he thinks about every single day but believes that calling it was right and he felt it was inevitable. he has also clearly apologetic, his being very ——he has been very traumatised by the whole experience and that comes out in it so experience and that comes out in it so it is very far from a strongly soft offending, self authenticating book —— itself defending. it is an honest book in

they are contradicting what we have heard from michael gove. michael gove said a pig and a poke, let's see what the legislation says this week. as far as the week ahead goes, what is coming up? this is going to be a pretty busy week. i think the key thing for the mps want to stop a no—deal brexit, is whether they have the number and the time to get it through parliament. the time is very short. they are also looking at whether they will get enough tory rebels to join them. we understand some conservative backbenchers and former ministers are going to be meeting with the prime minister tomorrow. he will be wanting to outline to them where his negotiations with the eu are going, and whether or not that is enough to get them on side. we have seen from michel barnier today, talking about the idea of an irish backstop is not negotiable, as far as he is concerned. that, no doubt, will have an impact on mps who are thinking about going with the opposition. we are expecting more protests as well. there will be a couple of court cases. a very busy wee

michael gove waiting about events to come this week plenty of events to look forward to. an eventful week. firstly, we will see whether or not backbench mps can actually get the numbers they need to pass this legislation, whether they have enough time because of course parliament is going to be suspended so parliament is going to be suspended so it reduces the amount of time they have. and then we have the possibility that the government might not decide to enact such a law. we have had keir starmer talking about that, saying the government is above the law. opposition parties also new conservative mps to get onside and we understand conservative potential rebels i meeting the prime minister tomorrow and they will want to know what progress has been made with the european union to stop in addition to that, number of court cases to try and revoke the whole idea of suspending parliament. also more protests against that. the government insisted it is about the queen's speech, not brexit and the government also setting out its spending plans as well. and a lot of rumours that

i understand where michael gove was coming from but in reality that would never happen. what would happen if somehow there is an alternative government and we have prime minister letwin whatever temporarily in charge of the brexit negotiations, the prime minister would ask parliament for a general election , i have no doubt. and the country would decide, would you want a brexit or wouldn't you ? a couple of questions before we end about what might happen in british politics from this day forward. is the conservative party seeking to do a deal with the brexit party in this election, which we know is coming. it might not come before october the 31st, but soon after if not before. is the conservative party seeking to be the brexit party and to remove officially titled brexit party from the little seen? officially titled brexit party from the political scene? they're certainly not seeking to do a deal, i'm sure of that, but i worked with nigel farage and richard pires, john longworth... do you regard them as political allies? in the sense they want the same thing as conserva

i have been a touch with michael gove's tea m been a touch with michael gove's team who are not offering a response. at some point this week the prime minister is going to be asked directly because david cameron is doing lots of interviews. at some point he will have to address this. the curiosity is the idea originally from mr cameron is that this book would come out in the calm waters after brexit had been sorted. it was then postponed after brexit was postponed. then they concluded they had to get it out at some stage. so here it comes now, and perhaps the most pivotal moment of the whole brexit process is the referendum. borisjohnson has brexit process is the referendum. boris johnson has been brexit process is the referendum. borisjohnson has been talking before this extract became public. yes, he did an interview with the mail on sunday, done prior to friday afternoon when the first extract loopback from the david cameron book came out. he curiously compares the uk to the incredible hulk in this interview. there more mad the hockey gets, the stronger he gets, that is the case for t

a liar in other words and he also described michael gove and he also described michael gove and boris johnson as and he also described michael gove and borisjohnson as having left the truth at home. now we are seeing borisjohnson being attacked by a recently passed prime minister, david cameron, and being taken to court by another one, john major. there has been no more polarising divisive tory figure in downing street in modern times. boris johnson may be hoping and presumably is hoping to deliver something like a clean brexit and then reunite the country a clean brexit and then reunite the cou ntry afterwards. a clean brexit and then reunite the country afterwards. the way things look right now, it looks like a steep uphill task to deliver on either one of those missions, let alone both. thank you. the number of people killed as a result of domestic violence in the uk is at its highest level in five years —and almost all of the victims were women. last year, 173 people were killed in domestic violence—related homicides according to data obtained by the bbc. the government says i

, not michael gove. you could say this worked out quite nicely for boris johnson whatever his motivations but david cameron is equally if not more scathing of other conservatives, including priti patel, michael gove and penny mordaunt. borisjohnson has given an interview to the mail making it crystal clear what he thinks about brexit‘s now, that it must happen on october 31. he says the uk is a bit like the incredible hulk and the manner it gets with the eu, the stronger it gets. hopefully he will not be ripping off his shirt when he meets the european commission tomorrow. ex wales rugby captain gareth thomas has revealed he is living with hiv. he says he wants to break the stigma surrounding the condition and has talked about the shame and fear of keeping it secret. daniel davies reports. i've got hiv, and it's ok like, that is what i want to learn more than anything. it is a secret he has tried to keep to himself and those closest to him. but now gareth thomas is telling the world and embarking a new

in the book, i said to him you call michael gove, was a close personal friend to him you call michael gove, was a close personalfriend mendacious. mendacious was the word. he was angry with priti patel who is now our home secretary for attacking or trashing, as he puts it, our own government, and as for borisjohnson he says he has always found him amusing, he has worked well with him in the past, but he doesn't always trust him. and a few weeks after we spokein trust him. and a few weeks after we spoke in august, he sent me another e—mail saying that what had happened since we spoke, since parliament returned, had shocked him. he accused boris johnson returned, had shocked him. he accused borisjohnson of returned, had shocked him. he accused boris johnson of sharp practice in provoking parliament. and he said no, iam not infavour ofa no and he said no, iam not infavour of a no deal brexit. did it seem to you that he had regrets about the way he carried out the referendum campaign, the campaign that he waged in favour of remain and against leave ? in favour of remain and against leav

we have heard from the government, from michael gove. what was telling in his interview is that he wouldn't say whether or not the government would abide by legislation to block a new deal. in terms of this idea that enough tory backbenchers would side with labour and the liberal democrats to try to block a new deal brexit, michael gove was clear that he thinks the prime minister has the numbers on his side. i believe that a majority of mps in the house of commons this week will back the prime minister because we know the prime minister is making progress with our european friends and allies in order to ensure a deal. i think people will not want to read the route lock on its way. we all want to leave with a deal and we know as a result with the conversations that the prime ministers had with emmanuel macron and angela merkel, that the withdrawal agreement that the state was a block of marble could not be altered, is not capable of being changed. i don't think michel barnier got that memo, perhaps! certainly, what the government is tryin

but today, michael gove was keeping his feelings to himself. he has accused you of being a faragist, of becoming a populist. how do you feel about that? others, too, are in the firing line. david cameron says he was most shocked by claims from the then employment minister, now home secretary, priti patel. i was a minister in david cameron‘s government, it was a privilege to serve in that government, and i enjoyed working with him and many of my colleagues. obviously, the referendum has happened, we have all moved on and the fact is we are now working to deliver that referendum mandate. that is so important. there is no point going over the past. more than three years after he resigned, david cameron has broken his silence at a crucial time for both brexit and number ten‘s current incumbent. peter saull, bbc news. the foreign secretary minister dominic raab says two drone attacks on major oil plants in saudi arabia were a reckless attempt to damage regional security and disrupt global oil supplies. it comes as iran dismisses claims by the us

the former prime minister, david cameron, has accused boris johnson and michael gove of trashing his government, with what he calls "appalling behaviour" during the brexit referendum. in his first major interview since leaving downing street three years ago, mr cameron has told the times newspaper that the outcome of the referendum left him depressed, and that he worries about it every day. here's our political correspondent susana mendonca. it was a decision that brought down his premiership and set britain on a turbulent course to leaving the european union, which we're all still on. up until now, david cameron has kept quiet about brexit, but not anymore. in his memoirs, about to be released, former prime minister said... he has tough criticism for the current prime minister, boris johnson, and cabinet minister michael gove, who mr cameron says "left the truth at home" during the 2016 eu referendum and behaved appallingly. he doesn't use the word "betrayed" but talking to him over 90 minutes, as i did, it was perfectly clear the hurt and sense of frustration he had with his former

the cabinet minister reponsible for no deal preparations, michael gove, refuses to be drawn on whether the government would abide by any legislation designed to stop a no—deal brexit. let's see what the legislation says. you're asking me about a pig and a poke. i will wait to see what the legislation the opposition may try to bring forward. meanwhile — the eu's lead brexit negotiator, rejects borisjohnson‘s demands for the irish backstop to be scrapped— michel barnier says the uk has now reached a moment of truth. pro—democracy activists in hong kong target the city's airport. large crowds gather outside the terminal building, causing long queues for passengers trying to get inside. political leaders from across the world gather in poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of world war ii — as the german president asks for poland's forgiveness at the event. and pope francis apologizes for arriving late — for his weekly address to crowds in saint peter's square after he was stuck in a lift for 25 minutes. and had to be good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. labour

on michael gove, he writes... "michael gove, the liberal minded, carefully considered conservative intellectual, had become a foam—flecked faragist, warning that the entire turkish population was about to come to britain." but today, michael gove was keeping his feelings to himself. he has accused you of being a faragist, of becoming a populist. how do you feel about that? others, too, are in the firing line. david cameron says he was most shocked by claims from the then employment minister, now home secretary, priti patel. i was a minister in david cameron's government, it was a privilege to serve in that government, and i enjoyed working with him and many of my colleagues. obviously, the referendum has happened, we have all moved on and the fact is we are now working to deliver that referendum mandate. that is so important. there is no point going over the past. more than three years after he resigned, david cameron has broken his silence at a crucial time for both brexit and number ten's current incumbent. pe

a statement from michael gove about brecht at readiness the operation to leave the european union we'll have an iran update from dominic rob following that number 4 there will be an update from the from the prime minister boris johnson followed by business statement from jacob reese market leader of the house there will also be dozens of urgent questions from and p's in any normal time you. i would expect the prime minister to be offering his resignation after such a humiliation really from the supremes court yesterday but these are not normal political times and boris johnson at the moment is or is not offering his resignation so also in normal times he would expect opposition parties to table motions of no confidence in a government that is a minority in parliament and has just been dealt a severe blow they are not doing that at the moment that the opposition party the labor party is holding off from doing that what it says is that it wants to prioritize making sure that britain does not leave the european union without a deal that boris johnson is held to the legislation has passed b

it was extraordinary to see michael gove say this. i think that was a very specific jaw—dropping moment to hear it, because the uk is a parliamentary democracy and that is something where he did not want to dwell on it but that was quite extraordinary that numberten is but that was quite extraordinary that number ten is considering, or michael gove did not rule out, ignoring a commons vote. and then you hear that id cards might be withdrawn from rebel mps and, tory traitors could be deselected. that id cards one is particularly shocking, because as you say, parliament is sovereign and the government doesn't have and shouldn't have control over the ability of elected mps to get into the house of commons. and this idea that they might stand a tory candidate in the john that they might stand a tory candidate in thejohn bercow constituency, traditionally you don't stand against the speaker. but won't the speaker be critical for a range of reasons this week, not least because mp have their cards withdrawn or the legislation that passesis

mr cameron also criticises michael gove, who he brands as "disloyal". he says that during the referendum campaign, both mrjohnson and mr gove became "ambassadors for the expert—trashing, truth twisting age of populism". our political correspondent peter saull is with me now. it is more than three years since david cameron left office and resigned immediately from the house of commons and ceased to be an mp. he has been pursuing his business interests and other political interests and other political interests but he is coming back with a real kind of punch in the stomach for thejohnson government. a real kind of punch in the stomach for the johnson government. yeah, and he has been largely silent. here be out with less than 50 days to go until we are due to leave the european union and his words are going to have some impact, i think. an interesting insight into what was going to his mind at the time. he resigned on the steps of downing street the morning after the referendum, apparently he and his wife had a gin at eight o'clock in the morning before

the one bit he mentions is that when michael gove went on about how they would be an influx of turkish migrants if the uk didn't leave the eu, cameron never made the point that actually, we could have vetoed turkey's membership of the eu. he mentioned those as mistakes. obviously the biggest mistake was calling the referendum in the first place. but he had always said he would if they won the election, and i suppose they we re won the election, and i suppose they were not necessarily expecting to win the election outright. i expected to be in a coalition again. he got it wrong all the way through. first of all, don't float a referendum because they are dangerous. and i suppose the other moral is, don't win elections! the other thing is that they had no plan. so while he is attacking boris johnson for flip—flopping to further his own career, and one of the things that came out in the times today, he admits he was fairly mediocre at school, fairly mediocre at oxford, and this sense of how it would be fine, he didn't need to bother. and here you are, with the fate of the country and mil

gove, the book, he describes his now formerfriend michael gove, the cabinet ministerfor formerfriend michael gove, the cabinet minister for no deal planning, as mendacious, a liar, in other words. he described him and borisjohnson as having left the truth at home during the eu referendum campaign, having behaved appallingly, and he is scathing about the decision to expel rebels from the parliamentary party and stop them standing as candidates, and as for suspending parliament, he calls that sharp practice, a sort of old—fashioned term for trickery, for cheap trickery. this is a row of a kind we haven't quite seen before. it compounds the row that's going on just at the moment and we are now looking at a former prime minister attacking the present prime minister, on top of another former prime minister, john major, treasure —— challenging boris johnson prime minister, john major, treasure —— challenging borisjohnson in court. has there ever been a prime minister is polarising and divisive as the one we are seeing now in modern times? it's true that those closest to boris joh

mr cameron also criticises michael gove, who he brands as ‘disloyal‘. he says that during the referendum campaign, both mrjohnson and mr gove became "ambassadors for the expert—trashing, truth—twisting age of populism". our political correspondent peter saull has been giving me more details about what the former prime minister has been saying in extracts from his new memoir. david cameron has been pretty much silent since resigning rather acrimoniously the morning after the eu referendum, and this book, which i dare say will be on a lot of politics watchers‘ christmas lists in a couple of months‘ time, we're getting the first extracts from it now in the sunday times. some of the key quotes. he talks about trying to persuade borisjohnson to back remain during the eu referendum but he says he came to the conclusion that borisjohnson risked an outcome he didn't believe in because it would help his political career. a lot of people have suggested in the past that borisjohnson‘s motivations for brexit perhaps are not as strong as he might suggest n

that was michael gove, but anyway. the guardian leads on the operation yellowhammer contingency plans with a warning no—deal brexit could bring rising fuel prices, disruption to medical supplies and public disorder on streets. the daily telegraph, tory rebels expelled from the party have been offered an olive branch by the prime minister and it will allow them to appeal the withdrawal of the whip. it features the news that british scientists have discovered the first planet warm and wet enough to support life. we've been talking about that this evening. let's hear from about that this evening. let's hearfrom john about that this evening. let's hear from john and caroline. caroline, we had a hint and our ago that you feel this story is one you may have seen before! this is the guardian front page, leading on the yellowhammer documents. it leads on the chaos to do with transport and medicines coming in and fuel shortages. actually what i think is more interesting is that this is the exact same document... i read the do
