already in. let's start with the observer, which reports that some of labour's most influential figures are telling jeremy corbyn to change his approach on issues including antisemitism and brexit. the sunday telegraph covers an editorial by the northern ireland secretary, in which he says that delaying britain's departure from the eu is an "elephant trap", that could kill off brexit altogether. the sunday express says the prime minister has been told to hold her nerve by the former brexit minister david jones and other prominent eurosceptics. in contrast, the sunday times says a vicious cabinet war has erupted over a plot by senior ministers to delay brexit. the mail on sunday alleges the former head of gchq quit his post after giving a character statement for a catholic priest later jailed for child sex offences. robert hannigan told the paper he had acted in good faith, but that subsequent criminal actions showed his judgement was "completely wrong." so, lots of politics all over the front pages, as you would expect. nicola, at sunday times suggesting that theresa may is goin

labour and the tories and join the new independent group in parliament, the 11 breakaway mps have claimed. one of the ex—conservatives, heidi allen, says that the aim is to "ensure there won't be a tory party to go back to." we'll be asking these voters if they welcome this new group and whether they'd like it to become a proper political party. i hope the independent party can become an —— a home for moderate voters like myself. as a liberal democrat i believe political parties and groups with similar aims should work together. i believe the independent group is a mistake and it has damaged the labour party. also, we speak exclusively to a dad of two who worked with a group of volunteer rescuers in syria, taking huge risks to save lives. he's one of 100 so—called white helmets and their families who, we can reveal, have been given asylum in this country. i left to a country with different traditions, lifestyle and language. but at the same time, i left a place where i was threatened by death or arrest to come to a place where you feel your value as a human being, and have

tories and the labour party are imploding. the home secretary is praised by his own mps for stripping is runaway shamima begum of her british citizenship. but opposition mps condemned the move. in removing british citizenship, the home secretary is essentially saying that she is somebody else's problem. we hear from the clerk of the comments as he says farewell after more than a0 years of westminster and makes a prediction for a forthcoming report on bullying. there will be stories which will reflect badly both on individual members who will not be named, but on the fact that this sort of behaviour as in the past, taken place. and mps call for a complete ban on eating cats and dogs. amazingly, it is still legal to personally slaughter your dog or cat and privately consume its meat here in the uk. at first, it was a case of going... going... gone. in the parliamentary week 11 mps, eight labour and three conservatives quit their parties and formed what they are calling the independent group, quickly nicknamed tig. it was the biggest split since the 1980s when the labour party fractured
