David Davis is driving us off a cliff edge

"We have not yet engaged in the negotiation process, so we do not know exactly how it will work" - David Davis

Today we lead with a piece which looks at David Davis' performance in the Commons yesterday and finds that the Brexit secretary appears to have no plan to deal with the huge problems he faces. It argues that after months in the job he still doesn't seem to realise that he is driving Britain off a cliff edge.

Next, we hear from Amnesty International about new research which reveals that legal aid cuts are denying justice to the most vulnerable people. They are calling on Theresa May to launch an urgent review to look at the impact of the changes.

And, London's proposed garden bridge is in the news again today as a new report finds that the government repeatedly ignored advice not to risk pouring extra public money into the controversial project.
