1. SHOCK THERAPY<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s PMQs day and Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn again have enough topics to choose from when they face each other over the despatch box. Corbyn could highlight new warnings about UK tax havens, Trump\u2019s Jerusalem gamble, homelessness figures or Universal Credit. May could seize on Labour\u2019s mixed messages on staying in the EU single market or customs union, its local in-fighting or George Galloway\u2019s possible return.<\/p>\n

Yet Brexit must surely dominate proceedings as the PM struggles to get a form of words that reassures both the DUP and her Tory Brexiteers. Ominously, DUP leader Arlene Foster and May have still not had their planned phone call<\/a>, the conversation that many think will unlock this tortured process. Instead of talking directly to the PM, Foster told the media yesterday of her \u201cbig shock\u201d when she received the detailed Brexit plans \u201clate\u201d on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written\u00a0HERE<\/a>\u00a0on some of the options open to May now. The Telegraph reports Boris Johnson and Michael Gove worrying about the PM paving the way for a \u2018soft Brexit\u2019. Iain Duncan Smith sabre-rattled on the BBC (having perhaps felt he sold his support too cheaply last week). But what struck me most yesterday was how the wording \u2018regulatory alignment\u2019 was\u00a0not ruled out by either David Davis or the DUP\u2019s Nigel Dodds<\/a>. Away from the attacks on Dublin, note that Dodds said: \u201cIt may make sense to have some kind of regulatory alignment in certain specific areas\u201d. Davis stressed that alignment was not the same as harmonisation, adding it may just mean \u201csometimes having mutually recognised rules, mutually recognised inspection, all of that sort of thing\u201d. And he slapped down Jacob Rees-Mogg\u2019s demand for a \u2018red line\u2019 insisting on future \u2018divergence\u2019.<\/p>\n

Davis more than most knows the need for finesse to get to Stage 2 of the Brexit talks. One Davis ally told me that he\u2019s again \u201ccleaning up No.10\u2019s mess\u201d, after Downing Street failed to consistently engage with or explain plans to the DUP. May\u2019s team also allowed herself to be outspun by Dublin and Brussels on the draft leaks. There is a way out of this if May can now add to \u2018alignment\u2019 with a reassuring extra form of words. But one thing the DUP has, and she doesn\u2019t, is time. Dodds and Foster are happy to make Brussels sweat it out until the New Year, while May wanted a deal this week. In many ways, the leaks and the DUP reaction have done the PM a favour, however. Just imagine if she had gone ahead with her joint presser with Juncker on Monday and\u00a0afterwards<\/em>\u00a0the DUP had declared the deal was unacceptable.\u00a0 Then things really would be much more serious. For now,\u00a0the DUP shock therapy may be working.<\/p>\n

David Davis faces the Brexit Select Committee at 9.15am, amid claims that his department\u2019s sectoral analyses are so thin as to be meaningless. It\u2019s going to be a fun day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. TERROR FIRMER<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

No.10 briefed the Lobby yesterday on a sombre presentation to Cabinet by MI5 chief Andrew Parker of the current terror threat. We were told Parker had revealed a total of nine plots had been foiled by security services in the past year. But some of the cases were sub judice and no more details could be released to the media. Hours later, crime reporters such as\u00a0Sky\u2019s Martin Brunt<\/a>\u00a0revealed one of the plots was an\u00a0Islamist bid to bomb Downing Street and stab Theresa May<\/a>\u00a0in the ensuing chaos. Two suspects were charged and appear in court today.<\/p>\n

The wider mood around the Cabinet table was one of grim determination, with some ministers wanting updates on Daesh fighters returning from Syria. The backdrop was a worrying report from former terror adviser David Anderson into this year\u2019s terror attacks. MI5 had intelligence on Manchester suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, but his \u201ctrue significance was not appreciated at the time\u201d. Anderson had a curious phrase that \u201cthe Manchester attack in particular might have been averted had the cards fallen differently\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more Middle East bloodshed is being predicted as Donald Trump plans to confirm today his ambition to recognise Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital<\/a>. He will be ringing several \u2018world leaders\u2019 to consult them, and Theresa May is sure to face calls<\/a> to publicly stand up to Trump again and confirm UK policy is firmly against the plan. Stephen Kinnock today has a Westminster Hall debate on the demolition of Palestinian villages. Several MPs, including the Shadow Cabinet\u2019s Richard Burgon, have written\u00a0an open letter<\/a>\u00a0condemning the planned destruction of the village of Susiya.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. LABOUR INTENSIVE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

That war of attrition within Labour continues to intensify at local level. We revealed how Momentum founder Jon Lansman had\u00a0backed a petition to open up every single London Labour council selection contest<\/a>. The capital\u2019s local elections are just months away next May, but Lansman argues a radical rethink is necessary because Leftwing candidates are being blocked by centrists across the capital. He stressed later this was his personal view rather than that of Momentum. And without the backing of either Corbyn or the unions, the move will fail. Yet it was a clear marker ahead of his expected election to the NEC in the New Year. Fasten your seat belts once he\u2019s at the top table.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Morning Star reported that Unite\u2019s Andrew Murray, who was seconded to Labour to help run its election campaign, says it\u2019s \u201clong past time\u201d for George Galloway to be readmitted to Labour. Under party rules, anyone who stood for a Parliamentary seat against the party cannot be considered for readmittance for five years, which means it will be 2020 before Galloway could return. When I asked Corbyn about this prospect a while back, he simply said the party should decide. And with the next election now technically in 2022, no one seems to be ruling out the possibility. (On a lighter note, last night the Commons unveiled a superb new portrait of another close ally of Corbyn\u2019s, the late Bernie Grant. Watch the time-lapse video<\/a>\u00a0HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Watford Parliamentary constituency selection battle looms tomorrow night. Unite black cabbie rep Mike Hedges is on the shortlist and has strong backing, but so too does previous candidate Chris Ostrowski. I published yesterday\u00a0a letter from eight trade unions<\/a>\u00a0backing Hedges\u2019s case for being readmitted to the shortlist after claims party rules were not followed. At least in Watford, the party is meeting Corbyn\u2019s demand that key seat selections are sorted by Christmas. 40 out of 76 of Labour\u2019s target seats still have no selection timetable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

4. CREDIT CHEQUE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Labour scored a significant Parliamentary victory yesterday, using the threat of an obscure procedural device to\u00a0force the Government to publish secret assessments<\/a>\u00a0of its Universal Credit programme. Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke agreed the \u201cexceptional\u201d move but made clear he expected some of the information passed to the Work and Pensions Select Committee to remain confidential. Sources say the most recent assessment could actually prove helpful to the Government\u2019s case for rolling out the new benefit.<\/p>\n

But it was the committee\u2019s chairman Frank Field who had most impact yesterday as he revealed that at a recent constituency surgery he\u2019d persuaded a man<\/a> not to take his own life after Universal Credit left him destitute. Tory MP Heidi Allen was\u00a0moved to tears<\/a>\u00a0in her own speech afterwards. Note however that Allen, one of the key Tory rebels on this issue, also praised Gauke for his reforms to the system. Shelter have a shock new report that 128,000 children will wake up homeless on Christmas day. Thanks to UC, other poverty stories still loom, but the DWP have still got their own backbenches on board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. BRUM, BRUM<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Staffordshire born and bred, Culture Secretary Karen Bradley is one of those ministers who are living proof that the Tory Government is not the exclusive home of men<\/a> from the South East. And she\u2019s running out of patience with the Metropolitan bias of state-owned Channel 4, giving it until Christmas to agree plans to move its HQ out of London (possibly to Birmingham, the main favourite)\u00a0or face legislation forcing it to do so<\/a>. \u201cVery well-paid TV people seem to be horrified at the idea of living anywhere apart from London,\u201d a senior source told HuffPost.<\/p>\n

And the perils of living in the capital are underlined by a shocking new air quality report published at midnight. The British Heart Foundation study found that pollution is so bad in the centre of the city that it\u00a0cancels the benefits of outdoor exercise<\/a>. With air pollution contributing to around 40,000 premature deaths in the UK every year, cities with illegal levels are trying to find ways to act. Leeds yesterday decided its vehicle charging zone wouldn\u2019t include diesel or van drivers but would target older buses, lorries and taxis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
