Its about 2 30am. Now its time for a look back at the day in parliament. Hello again, and welcome to monday in parliament, as borisjohnson tries and fails to force an early general election. The electorate will, im afraid, have a sense that we are all like charlie brown, endlessly running up to kick the ball, only to have Parliament Take it away. The lib dems want an early poll too, but its not their first choice. If there is not the support for a peoples vote in this parliament, then we need to look at the other way to do that.

Speaks to former mi5 agent, willie carlin, on hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk, im stephen sackur. The long and bloody conflict in Northern Ireland was known euphemistically as the troubles. One aspect of it got a separate label, the dirty war. That was the name given to the covert operations of the British State both army and intelligence infiltrating the ira, running informers and agents to undermine the Republican Movement from within. One agent was my guest today, willie carlin, who became an undercover spy within the political wing of the ira, sinn fein. Hes written a book exposing his secrets. How does he justify what he did . Willie carlin, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me.
