UK brexit
The prime minister faces a backlash from Tory MPs over his move to change the Withdrawal Agreement signed with the EU.
PM set to break his silence, but he needs a new plan to get the public to listen.
There are also growing signs of a civil service walkout over his plan to break international law and unpick his own exit deal.
The Labour leader says the public want an agreement and not to "reopen old wounds".
"Yes this does break international law in a very specific and limited way," says Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis.
Jonathan Jones resigns as head of the government's legal department over suggestions the PM will renege on the withdrawal agreement he negotiated.
PM is expected to call his own withdrawal agreement "contradictory" as the UK eyes more power over trade and state aid in Northern Ireland.
Tory and Labour MPs alike wonder if this is Starmer's most tricky "culture war" of all.
The PM is talking up no deal, and has been accused of ripping up last year's exit agreement, but the UK may not be on the precipice – yet.
Constrained by uncertainty elsewhere, on Brexit the PM craves to be bold.
