Brexit: where do cabinet ministers stand on what happens next?

Brexit: where do cabinet ministers stand on what happens next?

Author: Rowena Mason / Source: the Guardian

Cabinet ministers fell over themselves to brief their Brexit positions after the marathon seven-hour meeting broke up. However, there were soon conflicting reports about how much Brexiter ministers were really adopting hardline positions in the meeting, or just claiming to have done so afterwards, perhaps with leadership ambitions in mind.

Some…

Bear Hunt

Our close friend, Claire Mundell, read a piece by Simon at his memorial that was simply titled ‘Thank you’.  Simon’s currency was words and he used them beautifully in it to express his gratitude for the kindness he’d been shown throughout his illness. I know how much you all lifted him and kept him going. So this is me, adding my thankful voice to his.

Between his funeral and Friday’s joyous coming together you, we, have given him the send-off to end all send-offs. Sad, yes, but also joyful. Drunken, raucous, full of love. So Simon Ricketts. A proper celebration for the life of a beautiful, complex, amazing man. Who among us wouldn’t want to shuffle off like that? Not quietly but with a roar. A great big messy shout-out for the life you lived. To be that loved, that valued, that mourned.

If you have to go, that’s the way to do it.

When I was planning Friday, Audrey Gillan and I trawled Fleet Street, trying to find the best drinking hole for after the church. It was bucketing down and we were struggling because most Fleet St boozers aren’t built for crowds. We did find one that was big enough eventually, but it was a Wetherspoons, so we did a quick about turn and legged it. I couldn’t have his memorial drinks in a Brexit pub.

When we finally ended up in the Cheshire Cheese, we knew it was perfect. It was ‘characterful’. Simon would have approved. The beer was £3.70 a pint. Even better. But the icing on the cake came when his mum said it was the pub where his Grandad Sam had his retirement drinks. It could not have been more right, more perfect, that we lifted the roof for Simon in that same pub.  

The Cheese is a warren of rooms and, as I went from one to the other, throughout the day, I kept imagining he’d be in the next one. Hoping, even. Pint in hand. Holding court. Riding the anecdotal highway. Regaling everyone with his wit. His brilliance. But, of course, he wasn’t. It finally hit home on Friday that he really wasn’t coming back.

I haven’t been able to write anything profound or meaningful about this terrible, all consuming grief. I don’t have the capacity. Or the words. I’m still at the bottom of the deep well, with no rope, knowing there’s an even deeper one beneath. But I also sense, if I can make myself look up, there’s a tiny chink of light. It’s faint. But it is there.

A few weeks ago, my friend Jemma (also recently bereaved) reminded me of the book ‘We’re Going On A Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. We used to read it to our boys when they were little —

‘We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared. Oh oh! A river. A deep cold river. We can’t go over it. We can’t go under it. No. We’ve got to go through it. DIVE IN.’

We have to go through it. There’s no going round. Or over. That’s the cold, hard truth. So I have to dive in. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop talking about him, writing about him, thinking about him, laughing at him, missing him, longing for him. Simon’s not going anywhere now. I’m the one who’s slowly inching forward.

I’m lucky. I’ve got great friends. You’re all out there. So thank you for the checking in, the messages, the phone calls. Thank you for the gifts, the drawings, the paintings. Thanks for the unlimited Prosecco. (And the ensuing liver disease) Thank you for letting me howl. For letting me rage. For making me laugh. For all the love.

Thanks for everything.

Here’s a photo of me, battered, at that bittersweet farewell in Grandad Sam’s retirement pub, with the amazing caricature Simon Evans gifted me. I think my Simon’s expression says it all, “Get a grip Gibbzer. Get on with it. Stop looking at dresses and do some bloody work.”

Karen Gillan updates on directing debut, Lee Pace joins cast

The Doctor Who star tells Screen why she was forced to ditch the Tupperware Party title.

New cast details and a change in title have been announced for Karen Gillan’s directing debut, backed by fledgling US production outfit Mt. Hollywood Films.

The film, which Gillan also wrote and stars in, was previously called Tupperware Party but has reverted to working title Untitled Original Drama.

Gillan explained to Screen why she was forced to change the name.

“The title is currently in limbo”, she said. “Basically we had a title [Tupperware Party] and then realised that it was a brand name. That’s actually the name of the company that makes those tubs, so currently we’re deciding on a new title. I’m kind of digging the idea that we have to figure out a new title. I do believe that obstacles in creative situations often result in a better idea so I’m hoping that’s the case here!”

Casting

It’s also been announced that Gillan’s Guardians Of The Galaxy co-star Lee Pace has joined the cast, which also includes Matthew Beard (An Education, The Imitation Game), Paul Higgins (Utopia, In The Loop), Siobhan Redmond (Alice Through The Looking Glass), and Kate Dickie (Prometheus, The Witch).

The plot sees Gillan play Lucy, who is dealing with the suicide of her best friend. She explained: “It’s one year on and she’s having real difficulty connecting with people and expressing herself so therefore all of her angst and all of her emotions towards the suicide are coming out in quite destructive ways.”

Lee Pace plays Dale, an Englishman who travels up to Inverness on holiday and ends up involved in the story. Beard plays Matthew, Lucy’s best friend.

Gillan is one week into the three-week shoot, which is taking place in Inverness and Glasgow.

“[The timescale] is incredibly ambitious but it’s just about do-able,” said Gillan. “We’re all ambitious people and it’s a challenge that we’ve all accepted… such an incredible, stimulating experience.”

Making the film

Gillan said she started writing the script four years ago, mostly while shooting Guardians Of The Galaxy.

“I was having such a good time getting to play this villain then come home and I’d have ‘post it’ notes all over my wall about this other film I was trying to make. It was the most fun ever.

“Then I showed the script to a director I’d worked with before and he said ‘I know the producer that needs to make this film with you’, and that was Mali Elfman. She’s one of my producing partners now [along with Tien Huei Grace Yeh and Claire Mundell of Synchronicity Films]. She loved the script and connected with it.

“She introduced the project to Mt. Hollywood, who were interested in working with female filmmakers and we have such a strong female team on this film, so it just came together.”

The film is the first title in a five-picture slate for Mt. Hollywood Films. The company is aiming to produce mid-budget projects in the $10-40m range, while creating opportunities for women and minorities.

Mt. Hollywood Films president R. Andru Davies, chief executive officer Albert Gersten and chief financial officer Sloan Martin are executive producers on the project.

Future plans

Gillan said that she hopes to continue mixing directing projects with acting roles. She is set to appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, The Circle and Jumanji in 2017.

“This is a huge ambition of mine to really continue with this [acting and directing],” she said. “My next project as a director will probably be one where I’m not in front of the camera and I’ll get to concentrate on being behind the camera.”

“[Starring in this film has] been really creative.  It’s nice to be in the fray with the other actors and instead of giving them notes, giving them performances to react off. But it means I haven’t had enough time to obsess over the framing or what it looks like quite so much.”

The film does not have a release date yet.

Seven senior Conservative MPs will launch a bid to quit Boris Johnson getting key minister if he endorses a no-deal Brexit.

The ‘One Nation Caucus’ of average Conservative MPs involves Operate & Pensions secretary Amber Rudd, Nicky Morgan, and various Cupboard ministers.

The group would “work to halt any leadership prospect who endorses a ‘Nigel Farage No-Deal Brexit,” sources advised the Mail newspaper.

Boris Johnson is comprehended to be completely ready to back a no-offer Brexit if the EU does not grant concessions.

Go to Defence Online’s residence page for more stories.

LONDON – 7 Conservative Cabinet ministers will on Monday launch a bid to end Boris Johnson from turning out to be the key minister if he backs a no-deal Brexit as Theresa May’s colleagues start launching community bids to replace her as chief of the Conservative party.

The 60-solid “One Nation Caucus” of reasonable Tory MPs will attempt to shift the party to the centre-floor and will “work to stop any leadership applicant who endorses a ‘Nigel Farage No-Deal Brexit,’” sources informed the Mail newspaper.

The stance has been commonly interpreted as a warning to Boris Johnson and other Tory management frontrunners who are flirting with the plan of backing a no-deal Brexit.

Theresa May possibly has agreed to stage down once parliament has approved her Brexit offer but could be pressured out sooner by senior colleagues who have told her she requires to phase down as early as June just after she retains a fourth vote on her Brexit strategy.

The A single Country group, launched by Operate & Pensions secretary Amber Rudd and former instruction secretary Nicky Morgan, counts at the very least 6 other Cabinet ministers as customers: David Gauke, Greg Clark, Rory Stewart, David Mundell, Claire Perry, and Caroline Nokes.

The moderates are specifically involved that a future leader will be tempted to variety an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s upstart Brexit Celebration, which is finding up guidance from disillusioned Tory voters, and would probably include the Conservative leadership endorsing a prepare to go away the EU with no offer.

Johnson, who is not comprehended to favour an electoral pact with the Brexit Get together, is a single of many leadership frontrunners who would look at backing no deal if the EU did not grant the United kingdom new concessions above the Irish backstop. Dominic Raab and Andrea Leadsom would also be likely to back again a no-offer system, which is overwhelmingly backed by Tory members who will decide on the future chief.

Rory Stewart, who was recently appointed Northern Ireland secretary, echoed the sights of numerous average Tory MPs on Sunday when he stated he would locate it “very difficult” to keep in the Conservative occasion if its new chief endorsed leaving the EU without a offer, and explained employing these kinds of an end result could eventually guide to a Labour government.

He informed the BBC’s Andrew Marr display: “If you go down the path of no-offer Brexit, you’re going to shed 4 million Keep on being voters who voted for the Conservatives previous time so you won’t get an election, and no-offer Brexit is a vote for Jeremy Corbyn.”

Boris Johnson is the clear favourite to acquire around from Theresa May since he is the top selection between Conservative Occasion customers, who have the ultimate say in electing a Tory chief from a shortlist of two. He is favored by 39% of Tory members, with previous Brexit minister Dominic Raab trailing on 13%, according to a YouGov poll executed final week.

But Johnson – who has alienated many reasonable colleagues with his stance on Brexit and other difficulties – faces a battle to be selected to the ultimate shortlist, which is chosen by Tory MPs.

Meanwhile other potential leaders have began to launch their community bids to grow to be the subsequent chief of the Conservative party. A hustings hosted by the Telegraph newspaper on Monday evening will aspect a discussion between numerous management frontrunners like Liz Truss and Dominic Raab, though former Perform & Pensions secretary Ester McVey will discuss at a start outlining her vision of “blue collar Conservatism.”

Top Tories to block Boris Johnsons bid for PM if he endorses No-Deal

Seven Tory Cabinet ministers will today launch a bid to prevent Boris Johnson from leading Britain out of the EU without a deal if he becomes the next leader of the party.

In a significant intervention, the 60-strong ‘One Nation Caucus’ of Conservative MPs will publish a ‘declaration of values’ rejecting ‘narrow nationalism’.

The group last night said it aimed to ‘shift the Conservative Party towards the centre’. 

Sources close to Boris Johnson (pictured) said yesterday he would not form an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party which some Eurosceptics are demanding. One ally said: ‘Of course he won’t do a deal with Farage – he’s the man to beat Farage’

Sources confirmed it would hold hustings during the impending leadership contest and would ‘work to stop any leadership candidate who endorses a ‘Nigel Farage No-Deal Brexit’.

The stance is a direct warning to Mr Johnson and other Tory leadership candidates flirting with a No Deal Brexit.

The new group was founded by Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd and former education secretary Nicky Morgan with the backing of former prime minister Sir John Major. 

Including Miss Rudd, it counts at least seven Cabinet ministers as members: David Gauke, Greg Clark, Rory Stewart, David Mundell, Claire Perry and Caroline Nokes.

Other Cabinet ministers Caroline Nokes (left) and David Mundell (right) are also in the group

An eighth senior minister, Chancellor Philip Hammond, will go public tomorrow with his concerns about a Tory lurch towards populism, describing it as ‘the politics of easy answers’.

Mr Stewart, the new International Development Secretary, yesterday said he would find it ‘very difficult’ to stay in a Conservative Party led by someone pursuing a No Deal strategy. 

He told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that No Deal would be ‘damaging and unnecessary’ and said the UK would eventually have to do a trade deal with the EU anyway.

Rory Stewart (pictured), the new International Development Secretary, yesterday said he would find it ‘very difficult’ to stay in a Conservative Party led by someone pursuing a No Deal strategy

He added: ‘If you go down the path of No Deal Brexit you’re going to lose 4 million Remain voters who voted for the Conservatives last time, so you won’t win an election, and No Deal Brexit is a vote for Jeremy Corbyn.’

Mr Stewart, who has announced he will stand in the Tory leadership contest, said he would legislate to prevent No Deal if he became prime minister.

Mr Johnson, the runaway favourite to be the next Tory leader, has made it clear he is willing to pursue a No Deal Brexit if the EU refuses to make concessions.

Sources close to Mr Johnson yesterday said he would not form an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party which some Eurosceptics are demanding.

One ally said: ‘Of course he won’t do a deal with Farage – he’s the man to beat Farage.’

Several other leadership candidates, including Dominic Raab and Andrea Leadsom, are also expected to endorse a No Deal strategy, which is overwhelmingly backed by Conservative Party members, who have the final say in the contest to choose Britain’s next prime minister.

Sources confirmed it would hold hustings during the impending leadership contest and would ‘work to stop any leadership candidate who endorses a ‘Nigel Farage No-Deal Brexit’. Mr Farage is pictured above at a rally for the Brexit Party on Sunday

Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay warned that the UK would have to ramp up No Deal preparations if MPs vote down Theresa May’s deal for a fourth time.

Mr Barclay, who is considering his own bid to succeed Mrs May, told Sky News it was time for MPs to ‘face the facts’ that they had only three options – backing Mrs May’s deal, leaving without a deal at the end of October or cancelling Brexit, which would be ‘disastrous’ for democracy. 

He added: ‘If Parliament won’t back a deal then it needs to confront that reality and I do think in that instance we need to bring forward our preparations to mitigate No Deal.

‘There is no guarantee that the EU 27 will grant an extension. That is a non-UK decision on the October 31 so that would be a matter for the EU, so we do need to prepare for No Deal and ensure that we use the time we have to mitigate any disruption as best we can.’

Mr Hammond will use a speech to the CBI tomorrow night to issue a warning on the dangers of populism. And he will warn that a No Deal Brexit would leave any new leader unable to pay for expensive campaign pledges on other issues.

Urging the next leader not to abandon fiscal discipline, he will warn against them going on a ‘spending spree’, saying that ‘borrowing today has cost tomorrow’.

The One Nation Caucus will formally launch its ‘declaration of values’ tonight, describing its members as ‘patriotic Conservatives who reject narrow nationalism’.

Key aims include ensuring the UK remains ‘a leader on the world stage through our aid, trade and security commitments to tackle global challenges as a global citizen’.

Hopefuls STILL playing happy families

A picture tells a thousand words in politics – so Tory leadership hopefuls were out in force at the weekend, cameras at the ready, to document their ‘normal’ lives.

Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom went for a family walk in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, on Saturday with her husband Ben, daughter Charlotte and son Freddie, posting a selfie of the ramble on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson and his girlfriend Carrie Symonds were spotted bird-watching at Bempton Cliffs nature reserve near Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, before tucking into a £7 fish supper from a local chippy.

Pub tour: Miss McVey, with fiance Philip Davies, detailed her policies

The photos follow recent snaps of Jeremy Hunt with his wife and Dominic Raab in his kitchen.

In contrast with her rivals’ outdoorsy approach, Esther McVey upped the ante by spelling out some of her policies, including a call to take billions of pounds from the aid budget to spend on domestic priorities in a ‘blue collar’ pitch for votes.

The former cabinet minister, who will formally launch her bid for the leadership this week, wants annual aid spending of more than £14.5billion to be cut to the 2010 levels of less than £9billion.

Her pitch also involves more funding for police and schools and axing HS2.

She will set out her stall today at the launch of a new Blue Collar Conservatism group that will concentrate on a domestic policy agenda to appeal to ‘ordinary working people’.

Miss McVey, who revealed her engagement to MP Philip Davies last month in the Mail, then starts a pub tour to meet voters.
