Wednesday in parliament, where mps give initial approval to the bill beginning the process of exiting the eu. Ayes to the right, 498. Noes to the left, 114. So the ayes have it, the ayes have it. Also on this programme Jeremy Corbyn demands the Prime Minister retracts the invitation for donald trump to come to the uk and meet the queen. Just what more does the President Trump have to do before the Prime Minister will listen to the 1. 8 Million People who have already called for his State Visit Invitation to be withdrawn . But theresa may rejects that call and says labour has nothing to offer the uk. He can lead a protest. Im leading a country. And the Trade Secretary dismisses accusations that his department has been putting out fake news. Do you regret the title to your Press Release . Because it wasnt really your department that secured that 16 billion. I dont regret it at all. I think the more good news we give to the public, the better.

lieutenant governor jeff duncan says he showed up to vote. stood in line for however long, lines are long in georgia by design, and then decided he couldn t vote for either walker or warnock so he left without voting at all. of course, georgia republicans are hoping other voters will fall in line like this voter nbc s vaughn hillyard spoke to this week. i voted for herschel. i m a republican. i own my own business. that s how i voted that way. did you vote for herschel in the general election too? yes. he s going to have to make up some ground. he s going to lose, in all probability. mr. warnock is a wonderful individual. and i fully expect that he will win. joining me now is stuart stevens, senior adviser for the lincoln project, and don callaway, democratic strategist and founder of the national voter protection action fund. thank you for being here. i m going to go to you stuart first because you have the
