| A fairly long section of Javid’s appearance at the home affairs committee has involved Yvette Cooper seeking to get an answer on whether post-Brexit immigration arrangements will mean anyone seeking work in the UK from the EU will need some form of visa. Javid says more details will come in the government’s imminent white paper, adding: | |
| It will necessitate a series of changes in a number of categories, and depending what that category is – visitors, businesspeople, scientists– there will be differences. But what they will all share is that there will be no right to freedom of movement. | |

ITV has tweeted this footage – which seems to be from earlier this morning – in which a doorstepped Gove is asked if he is going to resign. “Absolutely not,” comes the reply.

| The noted political commentator Danny Dyer has been airing his views again, this time in a hugely contemporaneous snippet of EastEnders dialogue from last night, which referenced both England’s World Cup semi-final against Croatia on Wednesday, as well as the departure of David Davis as Brexit secretary.
