Dramatic political events in wednesday in parliament. Hello and welcome to wednesday in parliament. The house will be aware that the motion has not obtained the majority required under the fixed Term Parliaments arced, 2011 fixed Term Parliaments act 2011. Tory rabble argues its about how the government handles negotiations. Is not an attempt to remove this government, it is certainly not an attempt to hand power to the leader of the opposition. And, Boris Johnsons first Prime Ministers question, theres a pause for a labourmp as he question, theres a pause for a labour mp as he tears into the bay ministers comments on muslim women. When with the payment minister finally apologised his derogatory and racist remarks . But first, it was mpss second day back at westminster and Boris Johnsons second dramatic defeat as mps voted to reject his goal very general election on october the 15th. Prime minister put forward the move after mps backed a bill extending the brexit timetable Boris Johnson mps backed a bill extending the brexit timetable borisjohnson has repeatedly said he wants to be the eu in october the 31st. But mps took control of the parliamentary timetable and passed legislation so that he would have to go to brussels and asked for an extension until the end of january, unless and asked for an extension until the end ofjanuary, unless there and asked for an extension until the end of january, unless there was a new deal agreement accepted by parliament by mid october. The government argued, parliament by mid october. The governmentargued, rather parliament by mid october. The government argued, rather than doing that, to call an election. But to do that, to call an election. But to do that, two thirds of mps would have to vote in favour. Borisjohnson set out his case. The house has voted repeatedly to leave the eu, and yet it has also voted repeatedly to delay actually leaving. It has voted for negotiations and today im afraid it has voted to stop to scupper any serious negotiations. In my view, and the view of this government, there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of 0ctober, election on tuesday the 15th of october, and i invite the right honourable gentleman to respond to decide which of us goes as Prime Minister to that crucial council on thursday the 17th of october. I dont want an election. The public dont want an election. The public doesnt want an election. But this house has left no other option than letting the public decide who they wa nt letting the public decide who they want as Prime Minister and i commend this motion to the house. The offer of the election today is a bit like the offer of an apple to snowwhite and the wicked queen. Because what hes offering isnt an apple or an election but the poison of a no deal. The truth is mr speaker, that this motion to the Prime Minister is about playing a disingenuous game that an unworthy that is unworthy of his office. We will not by the Prime Ministers games and allow the Prime Ministers use an election divorce no deal brexit through the back door. Simply put, the snp cannot support this motion tonight because we do not trust the Prime Minister. If you want an election, extend article 50 for the purposes of having a general election and bring it on. And, when it came to the vote, the government was defeated. The ayes to the right, 298, the nose to the left, 56 noes, so the ayes covered but the house will be aware have it, but the motion has not obtained the majority required under the fixed Term Parliament act 2011. On the lock. For a second note following a government defeat, the Prime Minister made a statement. Government defeat, the Prime Minister made a statementlj government defeat, the Prime Minister made a statement. I note that the leader of the opposition is once again not in his space, in quite a symbolic way. 48 hours ago he was leading the chance of stop the queue does make chance, now his saying, stop the election and stop the people from voting. I can only speculate of the reasons behind his hesitation. The obvious conclusion is im afraid that he does not think he will win. I urged his colleagues to reflect on the on sustainability of this position overnight and over the course of the next few days. Brad bird bringing to an end another david stone no drama in westminster. Wednesday had started with Boris Johnson facing his first by ministers questions time. Despite being pm for six weeks, parliament when offered summaries as before mr johnson had taken his first round of pmq is, this was his debut. It came as westminster was still absorbing the full implications of the night before, when 24 conservatives had rebelled and joined the opposition in passing a motion taking control of the commons timetable. The government responded to all that by removing the whip, effectively throwing out of the parliamentary party, the 21 mps who had voted against the government. Well, ordinarily that would have been more than enough of the commons to get their teeth into, but it was a backbench mp who provoked cheers and applause remembers when he rose to speak with real passion. Ifi decide to wear a speak with real passion. Ifi decide to weara turban, speak with real passion. Ifi decide to wear a turban, or you decide to wear across, 01 he to wear a turban, or you decide to wear across, or he decides to wear a couple or skullcap, or she decides to wear a hijab or broker, does that mean it is open season for right honourable members of this house to make derogatory and divisive remarks about our appearance . For those of us, who from a young age, have had to endure and face up to being called names such as tal had or tell a man 01 called names such as tal had or tell a man or coming from bungo bungo land, we can already feel the pain when we hear muslim women be described as bank robbers or letterboxes so rather than hide behind sham and whitewashed investigations, when will the Prime Minister finally apologised for his derogatory and racist remarks . applause . Racist remarks mr speaker, which have led to a spike in hate crime order. Lets hear the answer. The Prime Minister. If he took the trouble to read the article in question, he would see that it was a strong liberal defence, as he began, his question by saying, everybodys right to wear whatever they want in this country. And, i speak as somebody who does not have muslim ancestors, but to be related as sikhs that is himself. But im proud to say we have the most diverse, the most diverse cabinet in the history of this country and we truly reflect we truly reflect modern britain. We truly reflect modern britain. We truly reflect modern britain, and, mr speaker, what we have yet to hear from anywhere in the labour parties any hint of apology for the piles of virus of anti semitism which is rampant in their ranks. Can i say to the Prime Minister that his response to the honourable member for slow was appalling. An apology is what was appalling. An apology is what was required, rather than some kind of justification that there was required, rather than some kind ofjustification that there is ever any acceptable ofjustification that there is ever a ny acce pta ble context ofjustification that there is ever any acceptable context for the remarks such as he made in that column. He is the Prime Minister of oui column. He is the Prime Minister of our country. His words carry weight. And he has two be more careful with what he says. There was applause, too, foran mp what he says. There was applause, too, for an mp that was thrown out of the conservative party in parliament voted against the government on tuesday night. The great lady who you and i both review, im sure, mr speaker, once said, advisers advised, ministers decide. , cani said, advisers advised, ministers decide. , can i ask the Prime Minister to bear that statement closely in mind to his own chief adviser Dominic Cummings . closely in mind to his own chief adviser Dominic Cummings . A labour mp took out the fallout from tuesdays vote. The Prime Minister yesterday booted out 21 mps from his own party for voting against a reckless no deal brexit. These included very well respected members of his house, clearly the former chancellor, including churchills grandson, and the father of the house, presumably on the orders of his chief of staff. Given that the Prime Minister himself voted against the former Prime Ministers deal, without losing the whip, does this not show and demonstrate to the British Public his view of life, namely one rule for him and one rule for everyone else . Mr speaker, im not going to take letters from anybody in the labour party. This is anybody in the labour party. This is a party where mps are daily counted out by anti semitic mobs. A party where mps are daily counted out by antisemitic mobs. The labour leader challenge the Prime Minister to publish the detail of any alternative brexit proposals and raise the leaks from the government worst Case Scenario raise the leaks from the government worst Case Scenario preparations. Raise the leaks from the government worstCase Scenario preparations. We are < three days away from leaving the eu with no deal. The Prime Minister has had two days in office and then plan super robe Parliament Less than three days was that he is desperate, absolutely desperate to avoid scrutiny social media suggesting borisjohnson shouted coal and election, you big girls last. Jeremy corbyn said the Prime Minister had no plan, no authority and no majority. If the Prime Minister does to the country what hes done to his party in the past 24 hours, i think a lot of people have a great deal to fear from his incompetence, his vacillation and his refusal to publish known facts that are known to him about the effects of a no deal brexit. |j that are known to him about the effects of a nodeal brexit. I dont see how with a straight face the right honourable gentleman can use anybody of being unwilling to stand up anybody of being unwilling to stand up to scrutiny when he will not ee, up to scrutiny when he will not agree, he will not agree, to submit his surrender bill to the verdict of the people in an election. Hes frightened and mr speaker, you mentioned the contrast, he makes a contrast between this government and his own proposals. The contrast could not be using it as the could not be clearer. He thinks that friends of this country are to be found in paris and berlin and in the white house, and he thinks that theyre in the kremlin, and in say round, and and in tehran and caracas. The snp leader urged Boris Johnson to accept the bill if it was passed later in the day. With the Prime Minister except the legislation so that no deal can be avoided and that is over an election so avoided and that is over an election so that the people can truly decide the next steps . Order well, mr speaker, im a democrat because i not only want a respectable of the people in respect of the referendum, but i also want to have an election, im also willing to have an election if the right honourable gentleman opposites terrible bill goes through. So when the bill got under way, a number of mps who had the conservative whip withdrawn following the previous no cosmic rebellion spoke. Alistair burt, a former conservative, 0fficer rebellion spoke. Alistair burt, a former conservative, officer said he was surprised but bemused to be an independent. A few weeks ago a colleague tweeted an article in the Daily Telegraph looking forward to purging remoaners in the conservative party. I say, if this is us, who is next . What is a note cold movie cold good night and good luck. You might learn something was that i will leave with better memories that friends and colleagues on all sides. The obsession of my party that has developed, it may have curtailed my future, but it will not rob me of what i believe, andi will not rob me of what i believe, and i will walk out here looking at the sky, not down at macys. He was supporting a bill put forward by cross party supporting a bill put forward by cross party mp. What unites us is there a conviction there is no mandate for no deal and the consequences for the economy and for oui consequences for the economy and for our country would be highly damaging. What is doing is, hes trying prolong no damage. As far as the sist prolong no damage. As far as the 31st of january and prolong no damage. As far as the 31st ofjanuary and anything else but the current deal weve got will damage the economy but the best way, and well get our heads around this, the best way to any damage at all is to revoke article 50. Currently, if farmers in brecon and radnor share export to the eu, tariffs are, let me think, they are zero. No deal brexit would mean 40 of zero. No deal brexit would mean 4096 of tariffs go on welsh lamb exports. This would risk putting farmers in my constituency and right across wales out of business. The chancellor until six weeks ago, now longer even a tory mp, rejected the Prime Minister s claimed that he was playing intojeremy corbyns hands. I would sooner boil my head and hand power to the leader of the 0pposition but the purpose of this bill, most of us will have no truck with the con no confidence bill. The purpose of this bill is to instruct this government and administration how to conduct the uks future arrangements with the european union. It is not an attempt to re m ove european union. It is not an attempt to remove this government are not an attempt to hand power to the leader of the 0pposition. Let me remind the house that president tusk and others within the eu have repeatedly said they do not want the uk to leave. He said the deal is impossible and no one wants no deal then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is. Lets not been any doubt. Those on the other side of the negotiation do not wa nt other side of the negotiation do not want the uk to leave and they do not wa nt to want the uk to leave and they do not want to lose the 12 of the financial contribution to the eu budget that the United Kingdom pays. He said the bill would lead to purgatory until a mps did not agree. It later passed its remaining common stages and is now due to go to the house of lords. More than that a little later in the programme. In what on any normal day would be a headline event, the chancellor delivered his latest spending plans. His predecessor had promised a comprehensive and Spending Review but with all eyes on brexit, mr javid opted to plan until 2021. Brexit preparations came on top of the additional 2. 1 billion promised injuly. Today, im deciding to set the real increase in day to day spending next year at £13. 8 billion. Clearing the decks. I always believed in the importance of living within our means. Even with the extra spending, we are still meeting the current fiscal rules. I can announce today that no department will be cut next year. That no department will be cut next yea r. Every that no department will be cut next year. Every single Government Department has had its budget for day to day spending increased at least in line with inflation. That is what i mean by the end of austerity. Having watched my dad worked, i know the local buses can bea worked, i know the local buses can be a lifeline for many communities. Today, we put the wheels back on the Great British bus with more than £200 million to transform bus services across the country. Weve set out more detail. I believe that the chancellor may be the first person to hold that role, whose father like my own was a bus driver. Mr speaker, id like to welcome and also hope what they say is true, that you wait ages for one son of a bus driver to become chancellor only to be followed soon after by another. A full fiscal event. Allowing them to plan ahead after years of cuts. Instead we get this sham ona years of cuts. Instead we get this sham on a Spending Review. He news its largely disappeared. John mcdonald claimed many of the spending increases would only partially address deep real time cuts made by the conservatives since 2010. Kirsty blackman of the snp was equally dismissive. I have to say the gimmicks and gems the chancellor has presented is nothing more than ever to distract us from the crippling crisis of this government and mr speaker, if that was meant to bea and mr speaker, if that was meant to be a pre election budget, i would be quaking in my boots. This will not help and austerity. At a time of world slowdown. A boost to the economy is much needed here and this is part of that boost. Isnt it the case that head teachers, chief co nsta bles the case that head teachers, chief constables and nhs managers simply cant rely on the chancellors nancy eggers if britain crashes out of the eu . Mr speaker, the independent watchdog, the office for budget responsibility, said just two months ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billion a year for the ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billion a yearfor the next ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billion a year for the next four yea rs £30 billion a year for the next four years to public borrowing. The du p welcome to the spending announcement but had a request. If you want to level growth across the United Kingdom, there is still much more that needs to be done to ensure that resources are sent to places Like Northern ireland and other regions of the United Kingdom to make sure that growth is experienced equally across the United Kingdom. There were some feisty exchanges as peers debated how they should handle the bill to delay brexit when it finally comes before them. While the majority of the house supports taking no deal of the table, there isa taking no deal of the table, there is a significant minority who are opposed. Labour was proposing that should be a limit on debate. While brexit supporters retaliated, enforcing lots of boats on the motion, proposing the timetable in the hope of stopping the actual bill even getting to the wicked. My motion respects our conventions and oui ways motion respects our conventions and our ways of working. It respects the right of your lordships house dealing with legislation. It respects the rights and the primacy of the elected house in good time. But the government begged to differ. Im afraid i cant agree with the noble ladies description of how she feels this motion is. Im afraid, my lords, the government will strongly oppose the motion because in our view, it does set a dangerous precedent for the future of this house. What has happened here is that a bunch of liberals and Labour Party People have seized control, have seized control of the agenda here and prevented us today from discussing for example, the chancellors extremely important statement. We are not stifled. Im happy to debate hours into the night, its a peculiarity of mine that i quite enjoy. But the brutal and principled prorogation that we are faced on monday is specifically the etiquette tail debate. I have to confess, my lords, when i saw that motion, went to the table office and saw that motion in black and white, the like of which has never been tabled in this house in its history bya tabled in this house in its history by a government still less in opposition to appropriate a phrase, it was a dagger in my heart. Opposition to appropriate a phrase, it was a dagger in my heartlj wonder what is cardiologist would have said when he learned about the longest prorogation since the 1930s. Ata time longest prorogation since the 1930s. At a time when this parliament is engaged in an extraordinarily important discussion about the national interest. Isnt that allowed rather large guillotine than anything we are talking about today . I very strongly disagree with my noble friend. When he discusses his soul on the matter. Lord true. In the lords faced many more long hours of debate on that pill. And thats it from me for now. I will be back with you tomorrow as the government reflect on what to do now the option of the mid 0ctober general election has been rejected by mps. But for now, from me, goodbye. Hi there. Many Northern Areas were quite chilly on wednesday and it was a very windy day with gusts of 50, close to 60mph across the north and west of the uk. Today it does not look bad. Pressure is building so fewer showers around although it will be quite breezy it will be less windy than what we had on wednesday. Theres wednesdays low slowly pushing off to scandinavia, High Pressure building in the south west and you will notice the isobars are still close together across the north west that will introduce thicker cloud with showery bursts of rain for scotland and Northern Ireland and that will spread its way southwards as it fizzles out into the rest of scotland and northern england, perhaps the midlands. It will introduce something a little less cold into the north west corner of the country so we will see 15 17 degrees here and elsewhere plenty of sunshine, highs around 18 to maybe 20 degrees. So thats how thursday is looking. Through thursday night, High Pressure continues to bring dry weather for england and wales where we see the weather system pushing into the north west, a band of rain slowly spilling its way south eastwards will also turn fairly breezy and even windy once again. As the temperatures range between 9 and 12 degrees to start friday morning. Area of low pressure then to the north of the uk will introduce this band of rain which will continue to spread its way into central and southern areas as friday wears on. Behind it, blustery showers but also some sunny spells. A rather cloudy day for much of england and wales, outbreaks of rain which will eventually become confined to more southern counties of england by the end of the afternoon. Elsewhere it could be quite bright as some good sunny spells, blustery showers in the north west and those temperatures are still below the seasonal average, 14 18 degrees. That cold front slips its way southwards into the near continent. It will be quite a chilly start to saturday but High Pressure builds in again notjust for saturday but also for sunday so we could a bit of dry and sunny weather for the weekend. Saturday still quite breezy down the east coast as that low pressure clears away, maybe just one or two showers but for most it is dry with lengthy sunny spells and a little bit of cloud building in the north and west. 0n the fairly cool side in the north, 14 16 degrees, and on the fairly cool side in the north, 14 16 degrees, 18 or 19 in the south. Theres a chilly start to sunday as well under those clear skies but High Pressure again dominating the scene for most. Weather fronts trying to push into the north west on sunday, could introduce more cloud to the hebrides, the Northern Isles and maybe Northern Ireland but for much of the country again, lighter winds thanks to High Pressure, sunny spells and a little bit of cloud. And those temperatures range from 15 18 degrees. Welcome to bbc news. Im duncan golestani. Our top stories a double defeat for downing street. Mps back a bill to prevent a no deal brexit and then block borisjohnsons bid for a snap election. As the road to brexit becomes even more uncertain, well try to shed some light on the way forward for westminster.
