The government has done the right Thing Today in ensuring that this house has a vote on this matter and thank you Mr Speaker for Standing Upfor matter and thank you Mr Speaker for standing up for parliament in that respect. There is a straight choice as outlined by the leader of The Housed yesterday in his statement and it is between rejecting this motion tonight, in which case the government will restore the 0. 7 from next year, that was the Olive Branch that i am my right honourable friend suggested, oraccept that i am my right honourable friend suggested, or accept this so called treasury compromise. I tell The House this is no compromise at all. It is a fiscal trap for the unwary. First of all, it is quite possible that these conditions will never be met and you dont need to look in the crystal ball, you can read the book. It is indisputably the case that there have only been one occasion in the last two decades, in 2001, when these conditions would have been met. If you look at what the Obr Has said, it is very clear that the debts and gdp will not be fallen until 2025. Given that the 0. 7 goes up and down with our economic performance, a very important point is, that the 0. 7 policy protects us from that. Does he not accept policy protects us from that. Does he not accept that policy protects us from that. Does he not accept that the policy protects us from that. Does he not accept that the obr he not accept that the obr exaggerated the gloom on the Debt And Deficit particularly in the last two years, they exaggerated by 50 Billion for last year between november and march, so why on earth does he believe their gloomy figures now . Im sure we will get deficit down. ,. , ~ now . Im sure we will get deficit down. ,. I,. Down. He is looking in the crystal ball, i down. He is looking in the crystal ball. I am down. He is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking down. He is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in down. He is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in the down. He is looking in the crystal ball, i am looking in the book. In| ball, i am looking in the book. In the last 20 years there would have just been one occasion. I vote for the Government Tonight is to end the 0. 7 commitment. 0. 7 commitment. Does it say something 0. 7 commitment. Does it say something when 0. 7 commitment. Does it say something when every 0. 7 commitment. Does it say something when every single i 0. 7 commitment. Does it say something when every single economic and political commentator has said that this new mechanism will not see the no. 7 return in the way that it should, that it is a copout of the highest order .

It is a trap for the highest order . He is absolutely right. It is a trap for the unwary and a tribute to the chancellor of the exchequer� s silver tongue. I shall certainly tonight be voting against this motion and against the government today. I shall do so with absolute conviction and a profound disappointment. This is only the third time since i was elected in 1987 that i have voted against the government and one of those occasions was in the company of the Prime Minister. It is never easy to repel and i thank those who stood with us to support our manifesto. We should not be breaking our promise in the way. We should not be looking to balance the books on the backs of the poorest people in The World. Im incredibly proud to have been a member of a conservative administration which declined to do that even with the austerity that we faced. For goodness sake, this is 1 of the borrowing that the chancellor quite rightly made last year to shore up our country from covid. 1 . At tiny figure. It is the only cat that he has announced. It will have an enormous impact on our role in The World and it will affect the huge number of people there will be very severely damaged, maimed, blighted or die as a result of these cuts. I remind The House that the cuts. I remind The House that the cuts include 25 on the education of girls, a top priority of the Prime Minister and his administration, for neglected tropical diseases were thank goodness that philanthropists have stepped in for one year only to protect the british taxpayer investment. We cover by 90 . In the yemen, by 60 . Which is literally the equivalent of taking food away from starving people. That is what we are doing to the poorest in The World. This is how we are trashing our international reputation. We are the only country in the G7 Cutting in the middle of the pandemic. Everyone else is increasing. This is a decision we do not need to make. Since we started this campaign there has been a 9 increase in support across our country for the governments policies. It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake. May i say, in humble respect to my own party, some of us have seen this movie before. It took us 23 years, until 2015, to achieve an overall majority by wiping out the Liberal Democrat seats and to achieve it we secured the support of decent Internationalist Prodevelopment spending, who saw from time in austerity that we would stand by this promise. The former Brexit Secretary and i visited Chesham And Amersham and Cheryl Gillan would be voting with us on this issue tonight. Anyone who thinks this is not affecting the reputation of our party is living in cloud cuckoo land. In Chesham And Amersham they have the biggest christian Aid Group in the country. This is not who we are, this is not what Google Britain is and i urge my right honourable and honourable Friends Tonight to vote against this motion. We and honourable Friends Tonight to vote against this motion. And honourable Friends Tonight to vote against this motion. We now go to the Chair Vote against this motion. We now go to the chair of vote against this motion. We now go to the chair of the vote against this motion. We now go to the chair of the select to the chair of the select committee, sarah champion. It committee, sarah champion. Doesnt committee, sarah champion. It doesnt show respect for The House to ask us to take such a significant decision with little notice, little explanation and no clarity about the consequences of today . Vote. It doesnt show respect to the communities in the poorest parts of The World when this government is willing to play games with their lives and livelihoods in this way. The government presents a motion is giving parliament an opportunity to have a say on when and how the uk will return to standing up. 7 of gni on eight. Today isnt really about that target or the cuts or livelihoods that are already being affected by reduced spending, it is about exerting pressure on Government Backbenchers who have been brave enough to collar with the government is doing. Basically, back this or you will be blamed when taxes rise or spending falls, things that will likely happen because of the pandemic anyway. Today is yet another example of this government because my complete lack of regard for parliamentary scrutiny and they have form. There is a pattern that this of this Government Withholding Information to the last minute and then only making the most basic details available. Lets be clear, the Government Hasnt brought forward a substantive motion for this debate. The motion they have tabled is made in neutral terms and advice that was intended to allow The House to debate an issue without coming to a view. They claimed this debate is binding. It is not our procedures to make a binding, it is there a political choice. This is a kneejerk reaction dreamt up between last thursday and yesterday in the face of growing criticism of this government.

But because my officer in charge was then on leave, i didnt hear anything. I had to ring the police myself. I had to go into the Police Station with my friend just to find out what was going on because i had just, sort of, reported someone who womens aid had described to me before as dangerous, and said i was high risk of serious harm or murder. I thought they would be looking out for me a bit more but i didnt even know if he was released, if he was remanded. In The End he was on remand but i didnt know until i chase them.

He recently waited eight days for a Call Back a gp. At 95, i could have been gone. Up there. It is absolutely ridiculous. Where it is all the seven doctors that used to be down the road . They want to think of the people that have normal run of the mill illnesses. In langley near southampton, marjorie has had similar issues.

At least 64 people have died in a major fire at a hospital treating Coronavirus Patients in southern iraq. Many more have been injured in the fire at the Al Hussain Hospital in the city of nassiriya, which officials say is likely to have been caused by an Oxygen Tank explosion. Jean mackenzie reports. The flames soared high and spread fast. Crews struggling to fight the fire to save those trapped inside fighting covid 19. Rescue workers were unable to make it through the thick smoke. This morning, relatives were left to search for their Loved Ones among a pile of burnt bodies. The temporary Covid Award left mangled by the heat. The building was new, opened just three months ago, a basic structure tacked onto the side of the hospital, unable to withstand the force of what was likely an Oxygen Tank exploding. It quickly became a tinderbox. The front door was burning and the Back Door was closed so people couldnt get out, this witness says. People were stuck inside and then the ceiling fell on them. The pandemic was already proving too much for iraqs woeful Health System to cope with, on its knees after years of war, neglect and chronic mismanagement. Covid cases here were climbing. Grief quickly turned to anger. Crowds gathered outside the hospital chanting against authorities and a Health System that has, once again, failed to protect them. This is the second such tragedy in a matter of months. In april, more than 80 people died after an Oxygen Cylinder exploded at a covid hospital in baghdad. As more bodies were counted, the Prime Minister, mustafa al kadhimi, has ordered the arrest of Health Officials and the hospital manager, promising repercussions for this catastrophic failing, that a place intended to save lives has ended up taking so many.

Mark lobel reports. To frances Health Care workers, a message from the president get vaccinated in the next two months or risk not being paid. Translation it is the only way to return to normal life. Initially for Health Care staff in hospitals, clinics, retirement homes, institutions for people with disabilities, for all professionals or volunteers who work in contact with the elderly orfrail, including at home, vaccination will be made compulsory without delay. President macron says it is a race against the clock as the Take Up of firstjabs is falling and less than 40 of the population has had two shots. Thats a concern because of a rise in cases of coronavirus with the Delta Variant causing a surge in hospital admissions. Not everyone has welcomed the move. Translation if its compulsory, we will do it, of course. Translation for me, forcing an agent to be vaccinated with a specific product is total nonsense. New rules also mean that from next month the nonvaccinated will struggle to get into one of these, these, these, or get away without a negative covid test. Greece has announced vaccines are now mandatory for Care Home Staff and will be for Health Care workers from september, with new restrictions for the nonvaccinated in bars, cinemas and theatres. In holland, there has been a screeching U Turn of the loosening of restrictions unveiled just three weeks ago as nightlife resumed, Infection Levels surged to their highest levels this year. The dutch Prime Minister admitted an error ofjudgment. Translation i do think the Prime Minister opened things too early. It would have been better to wait a few more weeks because now we are in a surge again. Its a shame because everybody expected to have like an open summer with a lot of activities. I know that my friends were all buying tickets and everything, and now itsjust all cancelled again.
