Instead there's a plan to twin us with the Trident Missile.

Speaking of loose cannons, Prime Minister May's finger is now

hovering over the trigger for Article 50.

Who knows what direction that could go in?

to give her Brexit directions, on Wednesday she announced, yes,

The U-turn caught Jeremy Corbyn on the hop; his prepared attack

for PMQs terminated on take-off and reduced to a little heap

I'm told that over in the colonies, The Donald is rather jealous

of all the fun the Brits are having with missiles, take-offs

and terminations and is getting itchy fingers.

Even though they are only very little itchy fingers,

let's hope he confines them to his Twitter account

and not to the nuclear codes or our own dear PM,

Your moment of the week? The one to which you have been valued in

throughout your introduction, the misfiring of the missile. I have

found it impossible to imagine circumstances in which a British

Prime Minister would be permitted by the United States or would choose to

fire the nuclear deterrent. But now that you don't know whether it will

go to Moscow or Miami, it is even less probable. Which would you

prefer it to go to? It is even less probable that a Prime Minister will

fire it. If there were any rationality in the world, the money

that will be spent on this will be redirected to weapons we would

actually use, which would enable us to make a valuable contribution to

the Nato alliance. At the moment, I think we make an insufficient

contribution. Thank you for pre-empting our discussion for

later, giving us time for something else. I can't say that it is

anything other than the publication today of the European Union

withdrawal from act 2017 which had its first reading today. It only

took a moment to read it. Leave out the long title, together with the

short title at the bottom, it is bang on 100 words. So I suppose

never has such a short document... It is a short fuse that will lead to

a big political explosion. Brevity is compassionate in these

circumstances. Probably. So not yet a full week

of Donald Trump and we've already had one wall,

two pipelines, a massive Pacific trade deal aborted,

abortions abroad no longer to be financed with federal dollars,

a federal hiring freeze, the dismantling of Obamacare begun,

3-5 million illegal voters conjured up from nowhere,

at LA Stretch Limos based in Essex for the loan

of their redilicious 1962 cadillac. I'll be ready for my home

journey in about half hour. Ted Malloch, who is currently

professor of strategic leadership and governance

at Henley Business Welcome to the programme. Do we have

any idea what Donald Trump means by the special relationship? Well, I

think he thinks it's special, which means he has some historical view of

what has transpired before. But I think he is looking for new

chemistry between himself and Mrs May. Is he genuinely pro-British,

sympathetic to Britain in a way that Mr Obama might not have been? It is

a contrast between day and night. His mother was born in Stornoway.

Her favourite person was the Queen. Donald Trump loves Great Britain.

Mrs May spoke tonight in Philadelphia to a convention of

Republican congressional politicians, and she even talked

about a new special relationship, a new age of Anglo-American

leadership. Is it not risky to rely too much on a President who is

widely regarded as a bit of a loose cannon? Yes. I think it is a sign of

the vulnerability that she senses about herself. She feels pretty

isolated on the European issue and obviously thinks it very important

to be close to the United States. There is a risk while she is there

that she will be asked whether she agrees with the President on his

views on trade, on immigration, on torture. And on none of those things

does she agree. And it would be quite deft of her to voice her

disagreement without, as it were, blowing the visit out of the water.

She wants to cement Anglo American relations on defence, intelligence.

She wants to open the way to a free-trade deal. Many people here,

particularly on the left and centre left, want her to lecture the

President about the wall, water boarding, women's rights. Should she

succumbed to that? She should definitely not get into the business

of lecturing the President. But she will find it difficult not to answer

questions on these subjects. And she will not want to antagonise the

President. Neither will she particularly want the President, if

he voices his enthusiasm for Brexit, to go on and say he would welcome

the demise of the European Union. Apparently our position is that

whilst we think it's such a ridiculous organisation that we are

happy to withdraw from it, we nonetheless would like this

ridiculous organisation to survive. As she said in her Lancaster speech.

And she said the same in a call to Mrs Merkel. It is a tricky one for

Mrs May, not easy. But if you have in the Oval Office someone who is

pro-British, pro-Brexit, who seems enthusiastic about the special

relationship, it is hard for a British Prime Minister not to take

advantage of that. Of course, she had to go. But she had been Home

Secretary for every long time, meaning she had close relationships

with the American security services. And they will be mostly the same

people. In particular the water boarding, the torture comments

today, that is very important. Because the British and American

services work so closely together and cooperate. We couldn't do that

if there was torture. He said he would not do it either. He said he

will take advice. From two people who are against it. In a sense,

today it was classic Trump. He played to his base by saying, if it

was up to me, I would do it because I think it works, but he said he

would listen to the director of the CIA, who has said not to do it. They

have said it does not work, which is the best advice. Mr Trump said it

did, on advice that we do not know where it was sourced from. We know

it has worked on occasions. Is there an occasion when you would use an

extreme form of interrogation? I want to stick with some wider

subjects tonight. Is a free-trade deal with the UK, a bilateral US- UK

free-trade deal, is that a priority for Mr Trump? I think it is. He has

gone out of his way to say this is something he wants to achieve, and

he is willing to do it in record time. He has invited her over

primarily for this reason, and it meets Britain, frankly, at its time

of greatest need. He is also pro-Brexit, which is a total change

from anyone who has been in the Oval Office. He has no enthusiasm for EU

integration. You noticed? And he is not the big friend of the Germans or

Mrs Merkel either. He has said some things about Germany that have

caused concern in those circles. Is he prepared to expend political

capital to help Britain in Brexit? I think he is. He doesn't like a

supranational organisation that is unelected, where bureaucrats run a

mock, that is not, frankly, if proper democracy. If we start down

the road of doing a free-trade deal with America, and we cannot conclude

one until Brexit is over, but we could do heads of agreement and

outline what it would be, wouldn't the EU then look churlish if it

didn't say, yes, we will do a free-trade deal, too.

I suppose so. I don't think it will happen like that. There could be a

deal done quickly. Queens Park Rangers could end up winning the

hundredship and win every game 6-0 from now on. -- the Championship. We

export ?240 billion worth of goods to the European Union. We export ?30

billion worth of goods to America. Now, our nearest and biggest market

has to be a priority for us to maintain what we've already got

before we go off into some adventure pie-in-the-sky reports We want a

trade deal with the EU. I want a trade deal with America but the

thought that Donald Trump is somehow going to help us by doing a free

trade deal before we have gone through the process of article 50

and renegotiate our way back into the nearest and dearest market. Does

having Donald Trump in The Oval office strengthen the negotiating

power? To a certain point it does. This is unknown terrain for us. We

have never had a President who's understood our position in the

European Union before. However, if he voices the sort of analysis that

Ted has just voiced with which I don't disagree about the European

Union, there is a danger, of course, that our European partners will

assume that Mrs May is really just like Donald Trump, that is to say

that she really wants to bring down the European Union in which case

that would make our negotiating position more difficult. What do you

mean by "our position"? Previous American Presidents have understood

our position. What I meant was our position of discomfort within the

European Union. This is a watershed change and I wonder if something

happens today. Am I right in thinking that Mrs Merkel said she'd

go at short notice to see Mr Trump and he hasn't even replied yet to

give her a date? I think she's anxious to see him and he's got a

cool approach to the Germans and he's said some things, both about

the euro and the way that the European Union has tilted towards

Germany so I'm sure it's raised eyebrows, if not antagonisms in

Berlin. Maybe the Germans want her to be an intermediary, an adversary.

She's going to Turkey next. Mrs Merkel? Mrs May. Why would you want

to be US Ambassador to the EU, you are clearly not a great fan of

Brussels like Jean-Claude Juncker? I helped bring down the Soviet Union,

maybe there's another union that needs a little taming. It's only the

British who believe an ambassador from one country to another has to

take on the point of view of the country to which he's sent, rather

than the point of view of the country which is sending him.

Unusual to send an ambassador to a country which you are being sent to.

I want the ambassador to represent the country, not the EU. What do you

think of Mr Juncker? He was an adequate Mayor and maybe should go

back to Luxembourg and do that again. This is clearly going to be a

very diplomatic appointment. Will you keep in touch with us? Keep in

touch with Nigel Farage. This is going to be more fun than

Washington. I think so. Thank you for being with us. Next time we'll

have to call you Mr Ambassador. Now it's late, Labour MPs waiting up

in the middle of the night But don't you succumb

to their suicidal tendencies. Because waiting in the wings

is baby hating comedian So come have a giggle,

take to Facepants, Snapjokes and settle down to the world's

finest Twitter-tainment. It's been anther tricky

old week for Jeremy Corbyn. The whips aren't whipping,

the Labour mayor of London has turned on him, there's been another

Shadow Cabinet resignation and, not the for first time,

PMQs was less than a triumph for the Leader of Her

Majesty's Opposition. Take a look around our studio

and you will soon realise that doomed political careers can lead

to fantastic careers in television. How long can it be before

old ChooChoo's slow trains to nowhere are bumped off

the schedules to make way for Jezza's 36-part

guide to manhole covers? Here with the political

round up of the week # You're willing to

sacrifice our love.# Andrew's ordered an ice sculpture

for the This Week studio. I think he's trying

to class up the joint. But in this post Brexit economy,

all of us are going to have to learn new skills,

even us hacks. The PM started the week by launching

a new industrial strategy, all about carving out

a new future post-Brexit. It's about saying, what are our

strengths, as we come out We're coming together as a country,

we are forging our future, shaping a new future for the UK

as a global Britain. Key to that future will be

a trade deal with the US. The PM's been preparing to fly off,

freezing fog permitting, Best gloss over the embarrassing

revelation that HMS Vengeance accidentally fired a Trident missile

at the US. The government's actually been

getting pretty good at not The Defence Secretary categorically

refused to say when the PM The previous Prime Minister and this

Prime Minister were of course informed about the maintenance

of the nuclear deterrent and the outcome of the test

and the successful return of HMS But the story of the week

was Brexit, and the Supreme Court's decision that MPs must get a vote

before triggering Article 50. Lawyer and activist

Gina Miller declared victory Only Parliament can grant rights

to the British people and only No Prime Minister, no

government can expect to be The Brexit secretary said

legislation would be laid within days but it

wouldn't change anything. It's not about whether or not the UK

should leave the European Union. That decision has already been made

by the people of the United Kingdom. We will work with colleagues in both

Houses to ensure this bill is passed in good time for us to invoke

Article 50 by the end Labour said proper legislation

wouldn't be possible Labour accepts and respects

the referendum result and will not But we will be seeking to lay

amendments to ensure proper scrutiny and accountability

throughout the process. That starts, Mr Speaker,

with a White Paper or plan. The SNP, cross that the devolved

administrations were being frozen out and wouldn't get a vote

on the matter, renewed If we are now being told

that Scotland's voice simply doesn't matter,

that it will not be listened to, not just that it is not enforceable

in the courts but it is not going to be politically listened to,

then that raises a really The Lib Dems cried "stitch up"

and said they would oppose the bill without a referendum,

another one, on the What should not happen now is that

a stitch up should take place between Theresa May,

David Davis and politicians in Brussels, that the British people

then just have to live with. We take the view that

unless the British people are given the final say on the terms

of the deal, then we will not be Brexit, of course,

dominated exchanges at PMQs. Jeremy Corbyn was all set to attack

the Prime Minister over process and the lack of a White Paper,

but then Tory backbencher Chris Philp stood up and shot

the Labour leader's fox. Does the Prime Minister agree

that the best way of facilitating that scrutiny would be a government

White Paper? I can confirm to the House

that our plan will be set out in a White Paper

published this month. So Jeremy Corbyn was left to attack

the Prime Minister over the timing of the White Paper and protections

for workers' rights. But Theresa May was having none

of it, pointing out the confusion on the Labour benches

about its policy. Article 50 wasn't about the court

judgment against this government. What it signified was the bad

judgment of this government, the bad judgment of prioritising

corporate tax cuts over investment The bad judgment of threatening

European partners whilst offering The bad judgment of wanting to turn

Britain into a bargain I have to say to him,

he is the leader of the party. He can't even agree with his

Shadow Chancellor about Brexit. The Shadow Chancellor can't agree

with the Shadow Brexit secretary. The Shadow Brexit

secretary disagrees And the Shadow Home Secretary has

to ring up the leader He talks about us

standing up for Britain. Old habits die hard on This Week,

and we're not the only ones. Has the Minister,

has the noble lord... Nice to see some of us

sticking to what we know best. This seems like far too

much hard work to me. I think I'll put the

reskilling on ice for now. And the elves at The Ice Box

in London's New Covent Garden Market were kind enough to finish it

off for her. And it's made it intact

to the This Week studio too. As has SNP heartthrob

John Nicholson, who's looking Where can you go from there, Andrew

Did it just delay the inevitable? Yes and the Prime Minister snatched

victory. It could have been worse if it involved further consultation

with Scotland and Northern Ireland and so on, that would have been very

complicated constitutionally, so from the Government's point of view,

it was more or less what they hoped for at that stage. Is there any

doubt that Parliament will trigger article 50? No, I don't think so. I

think Theresa May did snatch victory. She didn't have to go

through this. She should have begun this by saying to Parliament, of

course we are going to involve you properly in this and she shouldn't

have appealed to the Supreme Court. She could have been doing a lot more

before then. In the end, I think what Jeremy Corbyn was entitled to

do is to say that actually the reversal on the white paper was

something brought about by pressure from the opposition. Why didn't he

say that? He was wriggling there. I was watching and thought why didn't

you come in. And say that. The extraordinary thing about the appeal

is just what a waste of money it is. This is meant to be a Conservative

Government that minds the pennies, why on earth would you go to the

Supreme Court to try and prevent Parliament from having a say? Credit

where it's due. We didn't have the aim reaction from the judiciary that

we did on the High Court decision. Liz Truss and Jeremy Wright came

out. That was a lesson learnt. We have seen constitutional law.

Experts say the Supreme Court's judgment is a more rounded judgment

than the High Court's one and a better basis for going forward, so

maybe... Some think the minority opinion is important too. Because

there was no legal requirement for the Scottish Government to be

consulted, doesn't mean they shouldn't be consulted. Isn't the

Scottish Government being consulted? David Davis said he's met them five

times. But what does that mean, if you keep meeting somebody and

ignoring them, it's hardly worth the meeting is it? The contrary will be

just as ridiculous. I don't get any sense that there's actually

engagement. What Michael Russell says on Brexit, he just says, you

know, David Davis keeps saying he's talking to us but I don't get a

sthaens he's actually engaging in the arguments or debates. They don't

even seem to inch forward. I know the SNP have said they are going to

lay down 50 amendments because it's Article 50 and so on and the Deputy

Speaker will be determined how many of these are called. Not many I

suggest but we'll see. Are you in any doubt that in the end Parliament

will trigger Article 50? I can't see any way that it can be prevented, to

be honest. Particularly because of Labour's position? Exactly because

of Labour's position. Because of the result of the referendum? I don't

know what the amendments will be, but I would very much like to see

the Westminster Parliament to say that European Union citizens will

not be used as bargaining chips. Yes. Will it get through? I hope it

will get through. I think it would mean we could all rally around that.

Alan, isn't it quite amazing, you and I remember the Tories ripping

themselves apart over Europe endlessly, the Maastricht debates

went on and on. Did you ever think Labour would end up, not as badly

divided as the Tories used to be, but still now pretty divided?

No, I didn't, but I didn't think there would be a yes - no referendum

on the EU. To be fair to where we stand, we supported remaining in the

European Union, 66% of Labour voters supported it. So there is that

division. People like the shadow in a has resigned in Hampstead... There

are bound to be those issues. The big battle will be when the

so-called great repeal bill comes in. That is when we will start... It

will not be implemented until after Article 50 is completed, but that is

when you will see the kind of issues... People are talking about

hundreds of amendments for this. That is the wrong place. I thought

all of the so-called great repeal bill, I thought all that was meant

to do was to take the corpus of European law that currently affects

us and just move it on to the British statute book, and you don't

come to decide what you will unpick on that until we have left. Well, I

think that is true. So why would you amend it? If ministers decide not to

unpick it, there is a thing called a Henry VIII clause, which is done

virtually by ministerial decree. If they start to cherrypicking... If

they leave it, having moved it across, until after Article 50...

Did you notice that David Mundell, the Scottish Secretary, Conservative

Scottish party secretary, said that he thought that the Holyrood

parliament might have to give its consent to aspects of the great

repeal bill where they affect Scots law, where European law has been

incorporated into Scots law. A very interesting development. My

understanding was that this was the simplifying procedure. Alan is

right, if they start to say, we want to change this and that, it will

complicate matters. Did you not think they would just move it all on

and what regulations and laws we stick with would be determined

either after we leave or for the next Parliament after 2020? I am not

sure there is a huge point in trying to speculate what will happen in two

years. I think the government will have to play it according to how it

sees the parliamentary arithmetic at the time. But I think you are

absolutely right that one of the things it can do is to have a fairly

uncontroversial bill, followed presumably by mountains of

legislation thereafter, which will have to unpick all the things that

need to be unpicked. There is the possibility of absolute chaos

arriving in two years' time. Why was Nicola Sturgeon surprised to

discover that foreign policy was a reserved competence for Westminster?

I don't think she was particularly surprised. She seemed to think the

Scottish parliament should determine foreign policy. Our view is that we

were told repeatedly Scotland was an equal partner. If that is true, her

view and my view, most people's view in Scotland is that the Holyrood

parliament should be consulted. Otherwise, what did the rhetoric

mean? But the one thing the SNP government is keen storm is that

even though Britain is to leave the single market, the SNP think

Scotland can stay in the single market. Not just the SNP. That is

the Labour Party position and was Ruth Davidson's position until

recently. Can you name a single leading European that thinks that is

possible? Since you put me on the spot, I can't. I think it is a

personally -- perfectly reasonable argument for the Scottish Government

to advance, and their legal advice is that there is no impediment to

that happening, if the British government wants to be as flexible

as they say they do. Are you going to follow Jeremy Corbyn's three line

whip? I happen to agree that we have two trigger Article 50. I will look

at the amendments, particularly about EU nationals living here.

There was an interesting development in Wales this week, where Plaid

Cymru and the Lib Dems put forward a plan about how to tackle freedom of

movement. Where I come from, free number -- freedom of movement has to

go. It has to be amended in Europe. It has to change, and sooner or

later they will come to that conclusion. But I am convinced that

was the major factor for why people left the European Union. The leading

candidate for the French presidency is moving a very long distance on

freedom of movement. Maybe that will happen in a lot of places in Europe.

John, thank you for being with us again.

Now, it's been busy news week, again, this week.

against Donald Trump he rather got carried away and called on them

That's why we're putting "truth" in this week's Spotlight.

The Prime Minister says she's not scared of telling

I'm not afraid to speak frankly to a President of the United States.

The Donald is committed to the truth, too.

So devoted he says he might bring back torture to reveal it.

Would I feel strongly about water boarding?

As far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire.

But is there any truth in Trump's allegations of voter fraud?

There are millions of votes, in my opinion.

His spin doctors are having to work hard to prove them.

I think he has stated his concerns of voter fraud and people voting

He continues to maintain that belief.

Earlier in the week, Ewan McGregor and Piers Morgan told

"Didn't realise Piers Morgan was host.

"Won't go on with him after his comments about the women's march.

Comedian Bridget Christie's as honest as they come.

To my two small children, I'm an absent mother.

But is truth a rare commodity these days?

And an endless source of shame and regret.

Thank you for bringing your dogs. Should we always tell the truth? No.

I think there are good and bad lies. If you are in church and the bride

is about to come down the aisle and you don't think she's looking her

best, you probably should not go... But what we see in politics is that

there are many different types of lying. There is political

sidestepping, avoiding the truth, and blatant lies, basic lies. What

we are seeing now is something more sophisticated. We have Trump sending

Sean Spicer out to say that there were more people. We have Kellyanne

Conway saying that Sean Spicer was using alternative facts. It is on

another level. There seems to be a new phrase for something that is not

true. Alternative facts? It doesn't make any sense, it is meaningless.

Lying. Are we more prone to lying? George Orwell's 1984 has gone to the

top of the Amazon lists. News speak, doublespeak, freedom is slavery, war

is peace. All of it comes from George Orwell. And when I saw

Kellyanne Conway say that what he had said was an all turn a tip

fact... There is no such as an alternative fact. She laughed when

she said it. I think they are both under pressure. I think it is more

sinister than just lying to the public. It is interesting that Trump

sent Sean Spicer out to say that. Sometimes children do this. He is

testing their loyalty. The crowd was obviously much smaller than he

wanted, so by sending Sean Spicer out, he is testing his loyalty. You

hold the power. If you make somebody lied, you hold power over them. It

is also extraordinary, because in normal politics what you would have

been briefed to say is, it doesn't matter what the size of the crowd

is, I won the election, Americans voted for me. And the TV audience

was massive. It doesn't matter how many women have gone on the street

in Washington, it is not as many as the 30 million women who voted for

me, Donald Trump. Those are standard answers, and pretty good answers.

But he didn't do that. Even Trump's bodyguard, his arms were fake. Did

you see that? It is hard to keep up. His bodyguard is walking down with

these fake arms, because his arms are underneath with a big gun. What

is next? Honestly, I think they are going to start pushing out a waxwork

of Trump and passing them off. Quite often... We pride ourselves on fact

checking. We had a spat this week with the Scottish and the lists of

export figures on the facts. In America, the amount of

misinformation, I put it no higher than that, during the election, was

so intense that the fact checkers just lost control. There were too

many things to check. You are not telling me during the Brexit

campaign there was not masses of misinformation. But there was a lot

of fact checking as well. We have whole programmes on it. A lot of

effort goes into it. The worry is that this populist movement is

almost saying, look, never mind about the facts. There was a great

quote from Daniel Moynahan who said everyone is entitled to their own

opinion but no one is entitled to their own facts. Everyone is

entitled to their own fact now, and some of that emerged during the

Brexit debate. If you lie often enough, the lie becomes the truth. I

think there has to be some accountability. There was a petition

to make knowingly lying, misleading the public during an election

campaign or referendum, trying to make that a legal. I wonder who

would urge you to a on that. We have run out of time. What are you up to?

I am at Leicester Square Theatre next week and then I start touring

around the UK. Good le. Don't forget the dogs.
