Gove 'contemplating resignation'published at 22:33 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2018

Environment Secretary Michael Gove has rejected Theresa May’s offer of making him Brexit Secretary, the BBC understands.
He had said that he might accept on condition that he could try to make changes to the negotiated deal.
Sources say Theresa May made it clear that was not possible. He therefore turned the job down. Mr Gove is now considering his position and contemplating resignation.
Separately, sources have told the BBC that a wider group of ministers are now discussing whether to act together to try to force the prime minster to seek changes to the agreed deal with the EU.
What's happening in the PM's cabinet?published at 22:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2018
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg tells the BBC News at Ten:
Tonight things are very fluid still.
At 18:00 we saw the International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt go in to see the prime minister, we know she's unhappy but tonight she is still in her job.
The question of what's happening to Michael Gove, who right now is the environment secretary and of course was one of the main cheerleaders for leaving the EU in the first place is rather unclear.
I've been told he was offered the job of Brexit secretary to replace Dominic Raab. I've been told he turned it down because he said to the prime minister only if I can go back to the deal. He's now understood to be questioning whether or not he should quit altogether.
I'm also told that Michael Gove and other ministers are discussing amongst their small group whether or not they should collectively try to push the prime minister to change or tweak some of their deal.

Theresa May met Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo on Thursday evening to discuss Brexit.
A Downing Street spokesman said both leaders praised the "hard work" of the negotiators.
“In particular the prime minister and chief minister welcomed the conclusion of a Protocol on Gibraltar that forms an integral part of the draft Withdrawal Agreement and will provide certainty to citizens and businesses in Gibraltar and the surrounding area.
“The leaders agreed that these arrangements reflected the determination of all parties to move forward in a spirit of dialogue and cooperation.
“The prime minister and chief minister both emphasised the enduring ties between the UK and Gibraltar and noted that these agreements will be implemented in line with the mature and modern constitutional relationship embodied in the 2006 Gibraltar Constitution.”

During her meeting at Downing Street, International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt is understood to have pushed for a free vote on the Brexit deal, according to the Press Association.
A free vote would mean cabinet ministers would not have to vote with the government if they privately disagree.

'It's the biggest issue for my business right now'published at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2018
BBC News ChannelBusiness owner Natasha Rogoff, founder of an Italian food manufacturer, disagrees and says Brexit "is the biggest issue we are facing right now".
"The main issue really is the effect on the economy... and the absence of a deal and the uncertainty that we are facing," she said. "That's the biggest problem for my small business."
The weaker pound has meant her costs have gone up "and yet I cannot put the prices up because I am risking losing our consumers", she said.
"So we find ourselves in this situation where we are really on hold, waiting for something to happen," she said.
'In two years we'll wonder what the fuss was about'published at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2018

"I guarantee in two years' time we will wonder what all the fuss was about."
He said "running the country better" is a more important issue than Brexit.
