Me, mr. Speaker. They have until the house rises today to table the motion of no confidence in the government. And we can have that vote tomorrow. Or if any of the other parties, if they fancy a go. They can table that motion, and give you the time for the vote. Will they have the courage to act or will they refuse to take responsibility and do nothing but give up and delay. Why wouldnt they . What are they scared of, mr. Speaker . It is now well over the what you are scared of. Order, order, and i have order. I appeal to the house to have some regard to how our proceedings are viewed by people watching them in the country at large. Order. Order. Let the remainder of the statement be with the Prime Ministers exhortation, and i am not requiring it, but i want to hear the rest of the statement and the questioning on it. Mr. Prime minister. Mr. Speaker, thank you. As i commend this statement to the house. I say that it is time to get brexit done. Get brexit done so that we can respect the
The white house releases details of the phone call between donald trump and the ukrainian president , as democrats launch an impeachment inquiry. A less listening to the Prime Minister. Three years ago, more people voted to leave the European Union that have ever voted for any party or proposition and our history. Politicians of all parties promised the public they would honour the result, sadly, many have since done all they could to abandon those promises and to overturn that democratic vote. And after three yea rs of democratic vote. And after three years of denver and a delay, the left has cut this country risk of being locked in the eu, government that i lead has been trying truly to get us out. And most people, most supporters of the Party Opposite to muh regardless of how they voted three years ago think the referendum must be respected. They want to brexit done. I want to brexit done and people want us out on october the 31st. And people want us out on october the sist. With an
Ive looked carefully at mobile, that outcome would be a failure for which we would all be responsible. If there is no deal, it will cause severe destruction of the british and irish people alike, not so much oii and irish people alike, not so much on the continent. And whatever happens, we will have to get back to the negotiating table quite quickly. And, todays other main story, British Airways pilots begin a two day strike over pay and conditions, affecting 1700 flights. Its five oclock. Were live at westminster, where the latest twist in the Political Drama happened a short while ago, when the speaker, john bercow, announced he would stand down at the end of this parliament or the end of october, whicever is earlier. Later tonight, parliament will be suspended, or prorogued to use the formal term, for five weeks.

The majority of economists have always agreed that there was another approach the government could have taken, rather than austerity, and we always argued, and we were right, that austerity was a political choice, not an economic necessity. As recently as march, the Party Opposite ploughed on, saying there was no alternative. To look at them how was no alternative. To look at them now suddenly proclaiming an end to austerity after 125,000 excess deaths as a result, after 100 billion taken out of the economy, after the worst decade for wage growth since the 19th century, just because there may be what . An election round the corner. And after all that, after all that, to deliver what is a pathetic sum to spending departments who are on their knees at the moment. Itsjust adding insult to injury.

Study the view about whether they wish to table amendments to a bill whose basic subject matter was wellknown to them, they would be able to do that probably at least closely to his own level of acceptability. His own standard. The second point is it is is here that the bill today and there are several precedents. Those bills are ordinarily been government bills and very often concerning Northern Ireland. It is unusual, except, what is isnt is disorderly. The honorable gentleman raised important questions about money resolution and the queens consent.
