house of commons... if ican lords. in the house of commons... if i can say a word of defence to the house of commons, they come in for an awful lot of stick. the fact is that mps, and i was in the house would 3! years, they are much closer to the public, much closer to the people now than i can ever remember. and i came in, you had mps who didn't stay a night in the constituency, let alone do constituency, let alone do constituency politics. it would be a pity if that reputation that they deserve to have is destroyed by what goes on in the chamber. we will let you go, but especially for lord fowler, who takes a prominent role in today's of proceedings, how do you regard that? is it a nerve—racking thing or do you quite enjoy it? its not that prominent, to be honest. it's very prominent. the major thing is getting this enormous gold cloak on which is a very, very heavy. not what i'm used to wearing. you will see whether i managed to do it or not. we will see. dame margaret, good to see you. thank you

difficult role to ta ke the house of commons. difficult role to take on and we will see who takes on the role. lindsay hall will be excellent —— lindsay hoyle. on the role. lindsay hall will be excellent -- lindsay hoyle. over the last few weeks and months, i have wondered how betty boothroyd would have handled the house of commons. she would have had the respect from everybody. a bit of a legend! fabulous woman, fabulous! let's look at this story about jack dorsey's decision. you already touched on it, twitter saying we won't have any political advertising on our platform from tomorrow, thursday of november, ahead of the uk election but also significantly the us election next year. what do you think it will make is a difference? lots of viewers have said it won't make much difference because there's so much political bias on twitter anyway. i would like to look at it from a business perspective, forget the emotional side and also the decency side, which is incredibly important, and bringing influence to bear. twitter had bad

does the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees—mogg may be house of commons, jacob rees—mogg may he get up and say what their plan is? they could even table a motion for a general election. it doesn't mean they have to move it tomorrow or go ahead with it, but they could even do that, to indicate that they're serious about wanting a general election. we know that boris johnson, all the way through this, since becoming premier minister, has said again and again, we're leaving with or without a deal on as many as are of that opinion, say aye. here you go. order! order! the ayes to the right, 308. the noes to the left, 322. bad news for boris johnson, here is the speaker. the ayes to the right, 308. the noes to the left, 322. so, the noes have it, the left, 322. so, the noes have it, the noes have it. unlock! so, will the noes have it. unlock! so, will the prime minister make a statement following that? mrjeremy corbyn! thank you, mr speaker. on saturday, this house emphatically rejected the prime minister's deal. tonight, the house has... well, you're too hasty, i've not finished y

in this house of commons. i say to all of those across this house who say they do not want to know deal. i have said it before, i have said as many times. i hope this is the last timei many times. i hope this is the last time i have to say it. if you don't wa nt time i have to say it. if you don't want note deal, you have to vote for a deal. businesses are carrying out for sedative. people want certainty in their lives. —— businesses are crying out for a certainty. they wa nt to crying out for a certainty. they want to know this country is moving forward. if you want to deliver brexit, keep faith with the british people, if you want this country to move forward, then vote for the deal today! cheering thank you. studio: there was a lot of interest understandably by that contribution by theresa may. the first time she has spoken in the commons since she left office of prime minister. making it quite clear that that in her view the result of that referendum back in 2016, although it is three and a half years

of commons, andi colleagues in the house of commons, and i know that in the event, because this is truly a dreadful deal, there are a lot of people really unhappy, not just deal, there are a lot of people really unhappy, notjust the dup. it isa really unhappy, notjust the dup. it is a dreadful deal. but if it falls, then there are a number of people who at that moment would say, right, the only way forward now is to get it back for that confirmatory referendum, because they know that a general election won't solve anything. if you look at the polls, we are more likely to get another hung parliament. a general election, the clue is in the title. general election. it will not solve brexit. anna soubry speaking a little bit earlier. other news now. the family of harry dunn says they will take legal action against the foreign office over the way the government handled the death of their son. the family's spokesman, radd seiger, said mr dunn's parents — tim dunn and charlotte charles — have also referred northamptonshire police to the independent office for police conduct over the investi

a pretty hostile house of commons of parliament that has stood in the way of his plans up to now and may well stand in the way of his plans yet to come the plan now of course is to get a new deal from the european union one that can pass with a majority in this house of commons he's got to show the european union that there is a majority for a new deal in order to encourage them to engage at all with these proposals there extruded extremely lukewarm as it is he will claim that he's got the makings of a majority he's got the democratic unionists on sides he's got elements at least of heartbreaks it is on the right of his party but what he can't conceal and indeed what the next few days and weeks will reveal is that he has no working majority the numbers if anything a potentially more difficult for him than they were for 2 reason may the opposition is united as you heard from jeremy corbyn they're against these proposals labor has called them not credible not workable a cynical ruse to try and force through a no deal breaks of the lib dems call it ludicrous the s.n.p. calls it a day pl

details of every groan from the debate inside the house of commons rippled through the house of commons rippled through the crowds outside as they headed towards parliament. this long planned event provided a noisy soundtrack to bring the brexit argument to an end before the march reached its destination. pictures of inside the palace of westminster we re inside the palace of westminster were relayed to the vast crowd watching outside and then the moment when it was clear there would be no brexit deal today. cheering the news from parliament is greeted with relief rather than rejoice. the long march that they hope leads from one peoples vote to another people‘s boat, well, that can go on. it's not a defeat. we are still in the fight. —— peoples vote. a defeat. we are still in the fight. -- peoples vote. things are going to slow down. the slower it goes the better. it means the agony continues. yes, it's boring, but he has put that in that position. what happens next remains frustratingly unclear for everybody on all sides. passion is running equally high on the other side today, a

the behaviour of mps in the house of commons. does that mean on the 31st of october if boris johnson is not successful in coming toa johnson is not successful in coming to a new agreement that is also ratified by mps, should there be no questions asked, britain leaves the european union on the 31st of october, come what may with no deal if necessary? answer the question.” am. but everybody in a document put their hand up to say, yes, my problem has been overshadowed by brexit. that is why i voted for the deal on the third time of asking. but if there is no deal, is no—deal the right way forward? is it right that britain should leave with no deal on the 31st of october? we have got to leave on the 31st of october. it has been such a debilitating process for us. our international reputation is starting to be damaged because of the constant delays and obfuscation. this lady and this gentleman, if they had voted for the deal, this would have been sorted out and we would have left. now they are demanding another referendum so that

let's look at the numbers in the house of commons. if every mp who usually takes part in commons votes is at parliament tomorrow, borisjohnson willl need 320 votes for his deal to pass. there are 287 conservative mps. the prime minister will need them to be loyal if he is to succeed. if all the conservatives back their leader, that leaves mrjohnson needing 33 extra supporters. so, where will they come from? he won't find them among the liberal democrats or scottish national party. and the ten democratic unionist party mps — who previously propped up the minority conservative government — have said they won't vote for it either, saying it's not in the interests of northern ireland. that leaves mrjohnson needing the support of the 23 former conservative mps who are currently independents, but even if they all vote for the deal, he still falls short. jeremy corbyn has instructed labour mps to vote against the deal. the crucial question is, will there be any rebels? in march, when mps voted on theresa may's deal for the third time, fi

the house of commons to support him. he couldn't get that last night so instead he is legislating. the bill will be open to amendment and we will be open to amendment and we will see after the second reading proceedings are wrapped up we will see what amendments are selected. this is very important to explain because we are taking viewers through the reckon a sum of legislation here. because this is a bill, even though it is a simple bill, even though it is a simple bill, mps now have a right to add their own amendments and we are talking about two principal ones. one to do with eu citizens resident in the uk who at the moment can't vote in general elections. and then we are talking about people over 16 being able to vote. what are the significance of those two amendments? mostly big amendments are about changing the franchise of who votes in general elections. there is a big question as to whether they are being ruled to be in scope because the chair of the debate lindsay hoyle, nottsjohn virgo, he will have to make a c

a simple motion will be two thirds of house of commons members. a second rod would be a vote of no-confidence which could be issued by an opposition party or johnson himself. he could campaign on the idea that anti-brexit forces have prompted -- prevent his effort from getting done. an election before brexit is resolved could help the opposition labor party as well. jeremy corbyn could pounce on the failure to deliver his signature policy, but corbyn currently trails in the polls. so corporate is under pressure from his own party to wait for the brexit woes to get worse. you can see how this becomes a circle that never ends. amanda: brexit very much on the minds of many today. france standing alone in that rejection of a brexit extension hasod president macron instead push for a one-month delay. the block has given itself until tuesday to make a decision. we go to alex morales from london. let's begin with the importance of the extension period the uncertainty of this hard exit on the 31st still hangs over the markets. what do we need to hear abou

now we have listened to some of the debate in the house of commons this past hour. let's get a bit more of a flavour of some of key points raised during the afternoon. and start with the prime minister warning mps that he will try to hold a general election if they fail to support him. if parliament refuses to allow brexit happen and instead gets its way and decides to delay everything until january or gets its way and decides to delay everything untiljanuary or longer, in those circumstances can the government continue with this is? with regret i must go to the point the honourable gentleman raises, with great regret i must say the bill will have to be pulled and we will have to go forward, much as the honourable gentleman may not like it, we will have to go forward to a general election. i do not, not does my party indicate we have any desire to stay within the eu. but what we do demand is that since we are part of united kingdom, since we took pa rt of united kingdom, since we took part in the united kingdom—wide referendum, that as part of the united kingdom,

that is just a risk, the house of commons now. that isjust a risk, some the house of commons now. that is just a risk, some argue, that if you have inserted brexit, you can go to an election, it's all about brexit. and you might not end up about brexit. and you might not end up in about brexit. and you might not end upina about brexit. and you might not end up in a position where you have a party with a majority. because the brexit party might steal some of the conservative votes, people may go to the liberal democrats, if boris johnson got the deal and then went into an election, which is exactly what he wants to happen you've eradicated the threads of the brexit party. do you think there is a threat to? if brexit does not agree there could be, and also the liberal democrats are a threat to the eu, because they have a clear message, unlike the labour party, but it brexit is done the liberal democrats are brexit is done the liberal democrats a re less of brexit is done the liberal democrats are less of a threat. so... but if brexit has endless amendments, the eu will throw this ba

i have no idea what will be the result of the debate in the house of commons the on saturday it's not for me to to comment on political developments and in the u.k. but if there is a request for an extension i will consult of the states to see how to react. and we turned 18 the thing just. kept on pure you report or we've talked a lot of bite hal and this press for and i was wondering if we could move on to heaven and ask at. this is evil done a lot of hard work for the peace process in northern ireland but in order to be canonized you need a verified america so i was wondering what would you say to arlene foster the leader of the day you pay. it's not for me i love the candidates for science but. maybe neal because you know i i i don't mean i'm a candidate for sainthood either so i think i'll pass my question to if you don't mind. so when pass to the next question james. thank you very much present president tusk and president what is your message to the 48 percent of british voters who voted to remain in me you on a stole some of them campaigning to cancel breck said and mr bonny an

we are just going to go to the house of commons. before they start debating the selection bill for the general election on the 12th of december, there is something called a business motion which has to be debated first. that is the timetable for getting this short bill through the house of commons in all its stages today, there could well be quite an argument over all of this. let's go to the commons now where the speaker is on his feet. of this. let's go to the commons now where the speaker is on his feetlj beg to move the motion standing in the name of my right honourable friend the prime minister. i'm sure honourable members will appreciate i do not wish to detain the house unduly. i hope they will support this bill so they can move on and consider the stages. this is a straightforward business of the house motion, which will facilitate consideration of a short bill in order that the house can agree the date of a general election. the motion are set aside up to six hours for consideration of the bill, including up to four hours f

of commons on saturday. —— court of the house of commons. related to that press conference, donald tusk more cautious when pressed on the idea of, are you going to urge the house of commons to pass it by saying it is either this deal or "no deal". we had a hint of that from jean—claude juncker. but the deal". we had a hint of that from jean—claudejuncker. but the man who actually runs the european council, the people who must make the decision, much more cautious, as we suspected. they will wait to see what the house of commons do before issuing threats that that is it and we are going for "no deal", because they don‘t want to do that. we are going for "no deal", because they don't want to do that. yes, we are expecting borisjohnson to appear very shortly and we will take it at that press conference live. the latvian prime minister was saying, it was quite interesting, the welcome borisjohnson got in the room today. he had driven a hard bargain in the beginning but he has met them at halfway on the agreement. as far as the latvian prim

the house of commons is entitled to amend it. this is where the prime minister seems to me to be behaving so badly, and now i don't know what he's doing. really, what we want is a general election because what is clear is the conservative party is in government but with a —44 majority we are not in power. the chief negotiator didn't really want to be drawn tonight. do you think there will be an extension? but they can't and won't just shrug it off. the president of the eu council donald tusk already written online tonight he will recommend the delay the prime minister has had to ask for. many mps who sit down there hope it won't be the case, but delay could soon mean a decision for all of us at the ballot box — an election. borisjohnson said parliament had been caught in a deadlock of its own making and he would in no way allow months more of this. but tonight, it's by no means clear what might happen in the coming weeks and what steps the prime minister might take to push for a general election. 0ur deputy political editor j

i will keep you in touch with what goes on in the house of commons. i will hand you back to clive in the studio. thank you. write... i think i'm being joined, we got there eventually, you're watching bbc news. borisjohnson's proposalfor a december watching bbc news. borisjohnson's proposal for a december election is making its way through commons. there will be a vote on whether the vote should be the ninth rather than the preferred persons entitled to december. well, earlier my colleague huw edwards spoke to sirjohn curtice, professor of politics at the university of strathclyde — who reminded us that the government was under no obligation to call a general election at this time. given particularly the government couldn't persuade the house of commons to back holding an early election using the procedure that has been laid down in law, we are now going to bypass that through what is going through today. of course there is no obligation. the government could have decided to use the extension time that is available between now and the 31st of january

we should not underestimate what a significant event this was in the context of this house of commons? absolutely, this is the first time since the uk voted to leave the eu, that this was a resolution that i endorse and the government won by 30 votes which is a pretty comfortable majority when you look at how close everything else has been in terms of voting on brexit so it is a big win and there is one caveat we should be aware of, 19 labour mps who the brexit deal. not all of those will back the brexit deal when it comes back the brexit deal when it comes back for the third and final reading and that is the critical vote, to see a bill passes at that point and we leave the eu with a smooth and legally binding way and or it doesn't pass and it will be a big moment and you should be joyful but another door shuts right in your face. i want to discuss what will happen over the next 2a hours in terms of labour negotiating with the conservatives because there are a few m ps conservatives because there are a few mps who stood up tonight and the house and said look if you give us a little b

although we are conscious of the deep divisions in the house of commons and british society. how much significance do we attach to the noises we have heard in the last 12 hours? from the likes of the french president, saying, as you were reflecting there, a desire to get on with things? is it reasonable to guess that we may get a week or so of the european union and the british government saying we have to get on with this and get it sorted, and then you get to five to midnight, a minute to midnight, or for thursday the 31st of october, and if it isn't close to being there, hey presto, there's another delay? that's one of the possibilities, i think. delay? that's one of the possibilities, ithink. there delay? that's one of the possibilities, i think. there was a lot of calls and context tween the british prime minister and leaders around europe. the president of the council has said they would take time to reflect on the next steps, which is quite right. there is no urgency or rush to decide on another date, another exit date and there is time, even up to the very close margi

the house of commons. that‘s all i can say. he said that based on this agreement and the explanations he intends to give that he has confidence in his ability to win that vote. michel barnier speaking a little bit earlier. it has actually got rather busyin earlier. it has actually got rather busy in here as they get ready for the leaders of the 27 member countries to meet, and go through the latest 60 pages that have been released. they have to be translated. they will see how it affects their country. the bbc‘s chris morris has been with us throughout the morning as there have been so many developments. now we have something certain, there is a deal. the devil is perhaps in the detail. a lot of the attention focusing on ten people, ten members of the dup. can you explain to our viewers what their issue is with the deal and why they say it is not a cce pta ble deal and why they say it is not acceptable to them as it stands? well, to get the deal done, boris johnson has had to make a lot of concessions

the speaker of the house of commons blocks a government request to hold a vote for its brexit deal — saying the question was put to the house at the weekend. my my ruling is therefore that the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so. this evening, the government's eu withdrawal agreement bill has been introduced in the commons ahead of its next phase of scrutiny. the foreign secretary — dominic raab — orders a review into diplomatic immunity arrangements following the death of 19—year—old harry dunn. as this case has demonstrated i do not believe the current arrangements are rightand not believe the current arrangements are right and a review of these arrangements cannot be used again. a 21—year—old man is arrested on suspicion of murder after two teenagers were stabbed to death at a house party in milton keynes despite unionist objections, abortion is set to be decriminalised in northern ireland, from midnight tonight. prince william has expressed concern for his brother harry and wife meghan, after the couple admit struggling w

house of commons. no 10 saying that they want to have that meaningful vote put to parliament again so that the decision be made one way or another. let's talked of the labour mp ben bradshaw joins another. let's talked of the labour mp ben bradshawjoins me now. good to see you. hello, simon. what is your bet on what we will see this afternoon? john bercow will not allow the further shenanigans from the government, no government has been allowed to bring back the same vote. there was the vote on the amendment. and then the government caved in and accepted the overall thing so the idea we didn't decide anything on saturdays for the birds. but people watching outside on saturday... that's partly because the commentators didn't explain it very well. we try to explain it, we made the decision on saturday and the government is trying to wriggle out of it and it will not be allowed to because of long—standing parliamentary rules so we move on to the substance, we move on to the substance tomorrow of the wit

members of the house of commons and then the condition of that supporting the s.n.p. members of the house of commons and then the condition of that support would be that jeremy corbyn would permits and the other sort would be that job because in would permits and other independence referendum now he's already said that he's not willing to do that but let's have dependents referendum now he's already said that he's not willing to do that but let's just wait and see what the outcome of the election is i mean it may be that jeremy corbyn if you just wait and see what the outcome of the election is i mean it may be that jeremy corbyn if he wants to be prime minister i'm not entirely sure if you will be prime minister won't really have no choice but to be prime minister are not entirely sure if you will to be prime minister won't really have no choice. final question michael fry you are an unusual beast in scottish politics and that you're a final question michael fry you're an unusual beast in scottish politics and that you are a free market supporter of scottish independ

details of every growl and groan from the debate inside the house of commons rippled through the crowds outside as they headed towards parliament. stop brexit now! this long—planned event provided a noisy soundtrack to attempts by government to bring the brexit argument to an end before the march reached its destination. pictures from inside the palace of westminster were relayed to the vast crowd watching outside, and then the moment when it was clear there would be no brexit deal today. applause the news from parliament is greeted less with rejoicing, i think, and more with relief. the long march that they hope leads from one people's vote to another people's vote, well, that can go on. it's not a defeat. we're still in the fight. at least it gives us hope that something can be slowed down. slowed down? the slower it goes, the better. it means the agony continues, though, doesn't it? i know, yes, that's boring. but that's the position that he's put us in, so... but what will the final destination look like? for people on all sides of the argument, that remains frustratingly unclear.

house of commons. stay there vicki. we will come back to because just join there vicki. we will come back to becausejustjoin me here on the platform is martina anderson. she is an and first sinn fein. what do you make of the deal? underjoe brexit and the people of northern ireland voted to remain. —— whether we were crashing out of it and now with this deal... that's it, the deal is better than crashing out. it removes the unionists. also the backstop as we have wanted. it was a temporary arrangement. that is gone and it is now being replaced by something more semipermanent and no physical infrastructure on the border between ireland and northern ireland and that is crucially important. the dup have made the point and their great fear is that this is one step towards a reunification of ireland that there is now a customs border between north and ireland and great britain. but one tipple met here said to me today that legally, the constitution is still protected, they are still pa rt is still protec

in the house of commons. by anger and frustration, you are referring to the tweets you put out about the meeting with northamptonshire police. two sides to it, we have the police, the foreign office. the police were supposed to be looking after this, the family feel completely abandoned by both. there has been absolutely an unacceptable lack of information being provided to the family. the statement that dominic raab gave tonight, he could have given to the family directly, two weeks ago. the family directly, two weeks ago. the family feel like they were stonewalled in the meeting. we were due to be meeting the chief co nsta ble due to be meeting the chief constable on wednesday, for what we thought was going to be an open and frank and transparent meeting. told me today, earlier, that he could not do much more than offer his condolences. what we heard tonight in the house of commons, the foreign secretary saying the matter is in the hands of the northamptonshire police, and we have the chief co nsta ble poli

john bercow will leave the house of commons as speakerfor the final will leave the house of commons as speaker for the final time and there will be an election on monday for a new speaker. england have named an unchanged team for the rugby world final on saturday. the side continued their preparations for the game in tokyo and head coach eddiejones says they are relaxed and ready for their showdown with south africa. meanwhile some fans have been going to extraordinary lengths to make it to the game, as andy swiss reports. today they were strolling the streets of tokyo, but soon they could have the world at their feet. england's players relaxed but ready. their preparations are almost complete. an unchanged team for the final — hardly surprising after their win over new zealand. and if that was some display, well, south africa, watch out. oh, we can definitely play better, there's no doubt about it, and the players know that. yeah, i've been so impressed by the preparation of the players throughout the tournament, and particularly this week, there is a steeliness about them, but also

it really came through when i was leader of the house of commons, in the aftermath of the murder ofjo cox, and a number of women mps, labour, conservative, lib dem, snp, all started to open up about what they'd been getting. online trolling, stalkers, anonymous phone calls, text messages or online posts saying, "we know where your children live. don't step out of line." absolutely ghastly stuff. with the idea of a two party system really creaking, and who knows where we'll be at the end of the 12th of december, in terms of the of parliament, what is happening with the liberal democrats, the snp and others who could play a very significant role after the 12th? the liberal democrats will be unveiling their core campaign slogan in about 25 minutes and a van will be going round westminster and then around jeremy corbyn‘s islington constituency and boris johnson's uxbridge constituency. i guess their core pitch is jo uxbridge constituency. i guess their core pitch isjo swinson. they want to present her as a putative prime minister, realistic candidate they believe to be the next person i

the speaker of the house of commons has blocked an attempt by the british government to hold another meaningful vote on borisjohnson's brexit deal. the prime minister was hoping to win approval for the agreement to allow the uk to leave the european union, as he's promised, at the end of the month. many members of parliament are worried they don't have enough time to scrutinise the 110—page bill that would turn mrjohnson's brexit deal into law. this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake. we are now into a period where the government is trying to get to parliament what is cold, as you say, the withdrawal agreement bill, and thatis the withdrawal agreement bill, and that is the 110 page piece of legislation which translates the brexit deal reached by the prime minister with the european union into uk law. and, if it is passed, and it's a big if at this stage, that will count as the uk's ratification of the brexit deal and it would then be over to the european parliament to do the same. but there was no straight yes or no vote in the house of commons on the overall su bsta

the british house of commons held a special saturday session. its first and 35 years to debate and vote on the latest brexit agreement. the u.k. is scheduled to leave the e.u. on october 31. house voted to delay consideration of the prime minister's plan. here is some of this morning's debate in the british house of commons starting with prime minister johnson and labour leader jeremy corbyn. >> order. statement. the prime >> mr. speaker, i want to begin by echoing what you've just said. my gratitude to all members to have house for assembling on a saturday for the first time in 7 years. and indeed to all the house of commons for making this meeting possible. breaking into weekend where families want to be together and missing at least the end of england's world cup quarterfinal. and i apologize to the house for that and i wish i could watch it myself. west has postponed his 60th birthday party, if not his 60th birthday, to be here. so mr. speaker, the house has gone to a great deal of trouble to assembly here on a saturday for the first time in
