1. PROTECT AND SURVIVE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Boris Johnson\u2019s Iran blunder continues to undermine his reputation, but today he has been thrown a political lifeline by Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of imprisoned British-Iranian national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratciffe. Showing a dignity and understanding that some Tory MPs believe our Foreign Secretary lacks, Ratcliffe told the BBC that he didn\u2019t want Boris to be sacked \u2013 because he could do more good by actually now trying to get his wife released. They spoke last night for the first time (which is extraordinary in itself given how long she\u2019s been jailed) and hope to meet face to face this week. In what could be a significant move, Boris told him Zaghari-Ratcliffe could be \u2018eligible\u2019 for \u2018diplomatic protection\u2019. If she is indeed protected, his political career could survive.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s position wasn\u2019t helped yesterday when Michael Gove failed to say that Zaghari-Ratcliffe was in Iran on holiday (the official Government line). Anna Soubry told the BBC: \u201cIt\u2019s just bizarre to try and stand up for what Boris has done.\u201d\u00a0 And few should be in any doubt about the seriousness of the situation. The imprisoned mother is said to be seeking a medical specialist after finding lumps on her breasts and is \u201con the verge of a nervous breakdown\u201d.<\/p>\n

Politically, Johnson is slightly safer after Ratcliffe\u2019s words. Jeremy Corbyn told the Observer yesterday he should be fired for \u201cundermining our country\u201d and \u201cputting our citizens at risk\u201d. But Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer told the Today programme that while Boris should have been fired a while ago, \u201cwe should all reflect on what Richard is saying this morning\u201d. \u00a0Professor Mads Andenas, a former UN special rapporteur on arbitrary detention, also told Today that Government ministers should \u201cbe consistent in not casting doubt on her story\u201d. \u201cFrom my point of view it looks like a cock<\/a>-up. They haven\u2019t taken the briefing notes seriously,\u201d he said.\u00a0 In Brussels this morning, Boris said: \u201cWe are working very, very hard and intensively and impartially on all those cases\u201d. Note the word \u2018impartially\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. BREX TRADE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Parliament is back and so too is the EU (Withdrawal) Bill (from tomorrow). Theresa May meets business leaders from across the EU in No10 today and everyone\u2019s talking about transitional deals and trade deals and the clock running down to Brexit. The Times has a senior Downing Street aide now saying they expect Britain to be able to strike only a \u201cheads of agreement\u201d of a trade deal in time for March 2019. The paper rightly links this to May\u2019s own political longevity, as Tory MPs may want another leader to hammer out the details of post-Brexit trade.<\/p>\n

And the political jockeying around May continues, with the Mail on Sunday\u2019s leaked\u00a0\u201cmenacing\u201d memo<\/a>\u00a0from Johnson and Gove to the PM \u2013 urging a hard Brexit \u2013 the latest focus of in-fighting. The Daily Mail\u2019s Andrew Pierce has\u00a0a nice read<\/a>\u00a0on how the two Brexiteers have patched up relations since Gove knifed Boris in 2016 (a key intermediary has been Johnson\u2019s new special adviser Lee Cain, who worked for Gove\u2019s leadership campaign and for No10). The memo was drafted at one of their secret monthly meetings in September over a bottle of merlot. The Guardian has Cabinet ministers saying the memo was \u201cOrwellian\u201d. Another minister says May \u201cwill have to dress them down or look weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Government insider told me this week that No10 have been struck by just how much Labour had been getting its act together under Corbyn. From PMQs to UQs, from timing of calls<\/a> for resignations to just better reaction times, the Opposition is sharper. Yet the more immediate problem for the PM is the claim (first reported in the Standard last week) that more than 40 Tory MPs have signed letters asking for a vote of confidence in the PM. Those MPs will remain anonymous and are from various wings of the party. As she walks the EU summit tightrope in coming weeks, that\u2019s why May\u2019s stance on the Brexit transition is effectively also the key driver of the real transition: from her Tory leadership to her successor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. SEXED UP?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It goes without saying that Theresa May can hardly afford to lose another Cabinet minister, not least one as important to cross-Government working as Damian Green. As I pointed out last week, the outcome of the inquiry by \u2018Propriety and Ethics\u2019 chief Sue Gray (who reports to Jeremy Heywood) could well be timed to avoid conflict with the Budget.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, former Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson revealed he too had been told pornography had been found on a computer seized from Green\u2019s office nine years ago. But Green\u2019s response yesterday was very different from his original reaction a week ago. Then he said the claims were false, yesterday he said simply they hadn\u2019t been put to him at the time. One senior Tory tells the Times the latest revelations were \u201cnot good\u201d and Green\u2019s response should have been more circumspect. Still, it may well be difficult to prove who exactly was responsible for downloading the porn. Green\u2019s bigger problem will be if other women<\/a> have come forward and repeated claims similar to those of Kate Maltby, a party activist who says he touched her inappropriately.<\/p>\n

As for Parliament\u2019s wider sex<\/a> harassment problem, the SNP\u2019s Westminster leader Ian Blackford told Radio 4\u2019s Westminster Hour that \u201cMPs need to be trained on how they should behave..on an annual basis. There has to be a refresher course\u201d. Meanwhile, speaking of sex<\/a> and sexuality, there are several tabloid splashes today on the Church of England\u2019s (eminently sensible) guidance that primary schools should combat bullying of children who try different gender roles when dressing up. It\u2019s that kind of hysteria that is a reminder that wilful distortion and bile in our newspapers long predate the \u2018alt Left\u2019 or \u2018alt Right\u2019 online news sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Before the election, new Labour types could barely say Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s name without wanting to punch a wall. Watch Gordon Brown barely say his party leader\u2019s name\u2026as he calls<\/a> him \u2018Jeffrey\u2019.\u00a0 (key bit is 1m 10secs)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. HOUSE ROOM<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Britain\u2019s housing crisis is one of the many factors that has helped fuel unease among public that the system is working against them, and can partly explain both Brexit and the last general election.\u00a0 Theresa May rightly recognised the political imperative in her party conference speech this year, promising \u201cI will dedicate my premiership to fixing this problem\u201d. Even Chancellor Philip Hammond wanted in on the action (housing is part of the key to our productivity and social mobility problems).<\/p>\n

But the FT reports today that the Budget is not now expected to deliver radical change to either building on the Green Belt or giving the public sector a bigger housebuilding role. This may stem from Treasury frustration with No.10 (Hammond wants to tear up some Green Belt, the PM doesn\u2019t, Sajid Javid is somewhere in the middle). Yet in the Sun, former housing minister Nick Boles floats his mini-manifesto including forcing developers to sell greenfield land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. GRENFELL DIVIDE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Boles, whose enthusiasm for building on Green Belt is not shared by Tory MPs in the shires (enough to wipe the PM\u2019s wafer thin majority), also suggests a \u2018Grenfell Housing Commission\u2019 to build half a million new homes as a lasting legacy of the tragedy. And five months on from the awful fire, Labour\u2019s new MP for Kensington and Chelsea Emma Dent Coad today publishes\u00a0her own report\u00a0<\/a>on the deep inequalities that tell the wider story of the area.<\/p>\n

Among the most shocking examples of deprivation in this wealthiest of boroughs are: children hospitalised with hypocalceamic shock caused by a lack of calcium; one child diagnosed with rickets; adults with TB; a man<\/a> in the wealthy Hans Town area has a life expectancy of 94, 22 years longer than his counterpart in the deprived Golborne wards, where the average age of a man<\/a> is 72. \u201cIf trickle down economics worked, we would not have four food banks in K&C,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
