I wish i could have watched it myself. The house has gone three great deal of trouble to assemble here on a saturday for the first time in a generation.

And with permission, i shall make a statement on the new agreement that our european friends. The house will need no reminding that this is the second deal in the fourth vote, 3 1 2 years after the nation voted for brexit. During those years, friendships have been strained, families divided, and the attention of this house consumed by a single issue that at times felt incapable of resolution. I hope, mr. Speaker,
Good morning and welcome to westminster on an historic session of parliament. Mps are sitting on a saturday for the first time in 37 years to vote on borisjohnsons brexit deal.

Taking us out of the eu with no deal with all the damage that will do to peoples jobs and livelihoods.
