the week in parliament. if you are tuning in, the clocks have gone forward one hourfor british summertime. now on bbc news, the week in parliament. hello and welcome to the week in parliament. it's third time unlucky for the prime minister's brexit plans, despite this appeal to mps. i have said that i am prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended to secure the right outcome for our country. theresa may loses by 58 votes. labour call for change. and if the prime minister can't accept that, then she must go — not at an indeterminate date in the future, but now. and away from brexit, remembering the first black member of the house of lords. and he paved the way

for the windrush generation and for people like me, and i feel proud to be a trinidadian and also to be following in his footsteps. on the very day that the uk was supposed to be leaving the european union, mps again rejected the prime minister's deal, throwing her brexit plans into yet more confusion. the ayes to the right, 286. the noes to the left, 344. the vote means the uk has missed an eu deadline to ensure an extension of the brexit process and leave with a deal on the 22nd of may. within seconds of the result, the prime minister offered this response. mr speaker, i think it should be a matter of profound regret to every member of this house that, once again, we have been unable to support the leaving of the european union in an orderly fashion. the implications of the house's decision are grave.

the legal default now is that the united kingdom is due to leave the european union on the 12th of april, injust 14 days' time. she said that was not enough time to ratify a deal and the eu was clear any further delay to brexit would almost certainly require the uk to take part in may's european parliamentary elections. mr speaker, i fear that we are reaching the limits of this process in this house. mp: you are! this house has rejected no deal. it has rejected no brexit. on wednesday, it rejected all the variations of the deal on the table. and today, it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement alone and continuing a process on the future. this government will continue to press the case for the orderly brexit that the result of the referendum demands. to boost her chances of winning, the prime minister had asked mps only to vote on the withdrawal agreement — which covers the divorce bill, citizens' rights, and the irish backstop —

rather than the political declaration outlining our future relationship with the eu. the margin of defeat, 58 votes, was smaller than before, but emphatic enough. mr speaker, the house has been clear. this deal now has to change. there has to be an alternative found. and if the prime minister can't accept that, then she must go — not at an indeterminate date in the future, but now, — so that we can decide the future of this country through a general election. the vote came after six hours of debate, opened by the attorney general. he reminded mps that eu had agreed a brexit extension until may the 22nd, provided the so—called divorce deal was passed. if this withdrawal agreement is not approved, then that extension will expire on the 11th of april. now that means, mr speaker, that any other extension that this

house might desire to be agreed by the union would be at its discretion, subject to the veto of 27 leaders. therefore, by this evening, if the 11 o'clock deadline expires and the agreement has not been approved, that legal right will expire with it. we invite the house to secure the certainty of the extension, to continue with the process of the political declaration reconsiderations. but his labour opposition number accused him and the government of wrongly detaching the political declaration from their withdrawal agreement. without the clarity and protections we need in the political declaration, we should not approve this withdrawal agreement. today's vote is a shoddy gimmick

from a desperate government that is trying to hide away from the reality that this house would still need to bring the meaningful vote, in the form of the political declaration and the withdrawal agreement, back to this house. the fact is the withdrawal agreement would be accepted by the european union. that's the first point. the second point is it sorts out the implementation period, the money and, crucially, guarantees citizens' rights for my constituents, eu nationals, and brits abroad. which part of those factors does he actually disagree with? the answer is none. rather than it just being a blindfold brexit, the party opposite are asking us not only to be blindfolded, but to be led into a different room by a different tory prime minister. the snp referred to the conservatives' long—running splits over europe. what this is about today is an attempt to solve their political problems

and usher in a right—wing, unelected tory prime minister to negotiate a canada—style free agreement and a workers' right free singapore—style economy. we cannot, mr speaker, separate the withdrawal agreement from the political declaration, because both parts are essential to the process. it is like saying "right, i am selling the house i'm living in at the moment without having any idea whatsoever where we're going to live afterwards." isn't it the case that this withdrawal agreement places irreversible damage forever, and will be lasting, on northern ireland and on our precious union? i hear the prime minister repeatedly stating when she — the question of our precious union. this northern ireland backstop drives a coach and horses through the question of the precious union.

that is the problem. the reality is today, i am going to support the government in this. if we don't send this forward to look at the legislation, we will rue that day, because we will end up having to accept what i think is a damaging and disruptive extension, meaning we will never leave the european union. a former brexit secretary noted the plans being made for a no—deal brexit. of course, if the eu itself rejects all of these offers and overtures, it must take its responsibility for the consequences of its political intransigence in what follows. on that basis, mr speaker, i will vote for the motion. the other honourable members opposite have said that they will vote for the prime minister's deal on the basis that the prime minister will stand down. that isn't acting with honour! that isn't acting with principle! and i hope very much that moving on into next week's indicative votes, we can all agree to combine

some of our options as a compromise. this government's brexit negotiations have been a litany of failure, culminating in today with a prime minister who's been forced to announce her own departure on the table, having to reject a deal she has negotiated. this really is a half—baked brexit. today should have been the day that the united kingdom left the european union. that we are not leaving today is a matter of deep personal regret to me, but i remain committed to the united kingdom leaving the european union, and that is why i bought this motion to the house today. she said she knew it was a difficult day for all mps. at this historic moment for our country, it is right to put aside self and party. right to accept... interjections. ..it is right to accept the responsibility given to us

by the british people, and that is what i have done, mr speaker. i have said that i am prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended to secure the right outcome for our country. and when the division bell rings in a few moment's time, every one of us will have to look into our hearts and decide what is best for our constituents and for our country. but as we've seen, mps emphatically rejected that plea. that vote was the climax to a week that began with speculation about a cabinet coup, but the prime minister was still trying to save her deal. she invited some of her fiercest internal critics over to her country residence, chequers — a home that's already played a part in the brexit saga. little appeared to have changed by monday when she reported back to mps on that eu summit. mr speaker, i continue to believe that the right path forward is for the united kingdom to leave the eu as soon as possible

with a deal, now on the 22nd of may. but it is with great regret that i have to conclude that as things stand, there is not sufficient support in the house to bring back the dealfor a third meaningful vote. by taking no deal off the table at the behest of this remainer parliament, she hasjust put the final torpedo into her own deal and any real prospect of brexit, and that her statement will represent the most shameful surrender by a british leader since singapore in 1942. the reality is that this house has shown its intention to do everything it can to take no deal off the table, and we all need to recognise that if we're going to deliver on brexit, then we need to recognise that situation. and then things got worse for the government as a former minister set out to take control of the parliamentary brexit process

so mps could later choose between different options. in the first place, it is not some kind of massive constitutional revolution — though i know that some of my honourable friends and others have suggested it is. the truth is that as you yourself said, mr speaker, earlier in the debate, the house, since its inception, has owned its standing orders. the idea that it's an ancient constitutional principle that the government should control the order papers is slightly unhistorical, if that's the right word, because it started in 1906, which, as far as i'm aware, is not part of our ancient constitution. first but not the last history lesson of the week, but ministers said that history is on their side. it is the prime minister's deal that is the way to deliver what the people voted for in 2016 and 2017. that is why it is right that the government contains control of the order paper, in line with constitutional convention,

and why the amendments this evening should be defeated. a message that failed to win the day, with three ministers resigning in order to support sir oliver's rebellion. the ayes to the right, 329. the noes to the left, 302. the result prompted what the young people of today called ‘scenes' on the government benches. mr speaker, i don't wish to pay tribute to the honourable member for west dorset, but since he now seems to have installed himself as a kind ofjobbing prime minister, could you tell me, mr speaker, how it is that we hold him to account in this house? i think the question was largely rhetorical, but in so far as that gentleman is seeking a response, i think what i would say to him, in all seriousness, is that the effect of today... order! i do not require any help

from the member for chelsea and fuller — who hadn't the foggiest idea where to start. he was once a whip — he was not a very good whip. it would be better if you keep quiet. that is the reality of the matter. not outrageous at all! no, not outrageous at all! later, the speaker did apologise to the mp for chelsea and fulham for what he had said. two days later, sir oliver got to set the agenda, but first, theresa may, as usual, had to answer mps' questions amid speculation she might agree to stand down if they backed her deal. it was a big if. mr speaker, north west leicestershire voted overwhelmingly to leave the european union and, for the past two years, the prime minister has told my constituents on over 100 occasions that we will be leaving on the 29th of march 2019, with or without a withdrawal agreement. at the last minute, she begs our eu masters for an extensional article

50, delaying our departure. does my right honourable friend realise that the good people of north west leicestershire, they will forgive her for this, mr speaker, they are good people, but they are not stupid people. they will never trust the prime minister again. can i say that i hope the message that he will take back to his constituents is — it is a very simple one, which is we can guarantee delivery on brexit, we can guarantee delivering on brexit, if he and others in this house support the deal. the snp‘s leader, who has recently called for her to resign, had heard the rumours. yet again, another tory prime minister is willing to ride off into the sunset and saddle us with the crisis in the uk, and an extreme right—wing brexiteer coming into downing street. does the prime minister feel no sense of responsibility for what she is about to do?

it is my sense of responsibility and duty that has meant i have kept working to ensure that we deliver on the result of the british people. she gave nothing away there but, five hours later, the conservative benches emptied as mps headed for a packed and sweaty committee room to hear her confirm that she was prepared to leave sooner than she had intended, if her deal was passed. back in the chamber, sir oliver letwin was in charge, still denying he was a revolutionary. i'm absolutely clear that this is not an insurgency at all, it is an adjustment of the standing orders today, and if this is agreed for monday, it does not affect tomorrow, nor does it affect friday if the government choose to make friday a sitting day. mps spent time debating the next steps for brexit and executive votes. they were offered a choice for eight different versions, leaving without a deal to end of the article 50. a few options in between,

including the referenda. continue the consequences, the trust and politics, the social, at this house versus an outcome on the people of this country, that they no longer desire. that belief would be the undemocratic stitch up of all time. and other political heavyweights backing the idea is staying in a customs union and that you... if we fail, with no deal, i think the feeling at this house is so strong against that that we must all vote to revoke that stage. i think a lot of the public would say that we got ourselves in a mess, it would make sense to sort out the start of a lead

are delink and start all over again. rather than follow through division lobbies, they got the mic that preferences are pieces of paper. they can pick any or all of the eight options. the boats took two hours to counts, spoiler alert, every one was rejected. some were more successful than others. in response to motionjay, ayes for 264, the noes but 272. so the noes had it. in respect to motion m, ayes by 268, the noes by 295 stop that noes had it. might smack some of those numbers by later revised about the results were not changed. it is a disappointment that the house has not chosen to find a proposition, but those who put the proposal together predicted that we would not reach a majority.

at that many hours of debate and complex procedure, the house of commons has decided suites felicity at skype. i think the public would look good on these proceedings and as her amazement. they will be completely amused by what has gone on. may i suggest that we now proceed to the agreed procedure that the house adopted? having settled on those matters

where they were the biggest votes, we go forward to monday to see if we can find a compromise so that the look to how we are going to get this country the leadership and certainty it needs and deserves. sir oliver will try again on monday with the hope that mps can narrow down their preferences. but the uk parliament and government still negotiating within itself, it is easy to forget that it is not just westminster that needs to ratify the brexit deal, as the european parliament to which has been meeting and strasbourg. donald tusk updated mps on that summit on which mps agreed to delay brexit. date delayed the cliff edge and looked at back to the 12th of april. he wanted to give a voice that they were fighting for the uk. you cannot betray the people who signed for article 50, the! million people who much for vote, at the increasing majority

of people who want to remain in the european union. they may feel that they are not sufficiently represented by the uk parliament, but they must feel like they are represented by you in this chamber because they are europeans. thank you. this is a surprise to me because i thought he was marching somewhere in britain, and he is here, at 200 miles much, how many miles have you done? too many. i think so. you remind me more and more, i do not know if you know him, field marshal hayte in blackadder.

he was sitting in the first world war in his office in london, and you are sitting here in strasbourg where your own people are marching to end a call. that is the way you are taking a responsibility. i would have died as a former belgian prime minister who saved ypres from german domination, who then went on a 1980 to the bridge and express every —— it's first ever military defeat. he should be a great hero to you. never mind, that sums up your anti—britishness. the one thing that is inevitable as we are headed for an article 50 extension. you should ask yourselves, do you really want to do that? do you really wants brexit to utterly dominate the next couple of years of your business to the exclusion of your many other conditions? do you really want the united kingdom to contest the european elections, to send back a very large number of leave and ep, just at a time where you are fighting populism across the continent. do you really want me back in this place? well, that we are.

time for a breatherfrom brexit. you have earned it. let's take a look at what else at what has been going on in politics. here is our countdown with alex. congratulations to jim shannon who got birthday wishes from the speaker during a vote. colleagues across the house, will want to congratulate the honourable gentleman for strangford on his birthday. and numberfour, is this the end but the uk's meps? they were even offered extra time to save our goodbyes. if this is your

final speech, i will give you an extra 30 seconds. theresa may must be the only leader in memory who has tried to follow her own sword and has managed to miss. extremely high praise for conservative veteran ken clarke, who found it all a bit much. i am totally in awe of him. john bercow might seem an unlikely cover story for a german newspaper, but here he was on thursday complete with his famous catchphrase. order, order, order! 50 years ago this week the first black here took his seat in the house of lords. the honour went

to leary constant time, a former cricketer. march 1969, the first black life peer. first an all rounder from trinidad. to mark the 50th anniversary, this bust of him is on display in the house of lords, on loan from the national portrait gallery. he was a man of dignity. in 1944, he took on a top hotel who was being racist towards him and his family, and won the case. that is 1944, before the wind rush generation, he paved the way for the people,

the soldiers who worked in the army, he actually make sure that they were well taken care of, he had to face a lot of racism, he was active and making sure that equality was sorry. he was a man perhaps a little ahead at this time, but what he did do is embrace of the people and he paved the way for the wind rushed generation, and for people like me. i felt proud as a trinidadian and also to be following in his footsteps. that is the final innings but this speak in parliaments. alissia mccarthy will be going into that on monday for bbc parliament on the latest by mps attempts to find a way through the brexit deadlock. bye for now.

hello again. we've got quite a change in our weather compared with yesterday, when temperatures reach 20 celsius in kew in greater london. the wind of change is blowing, and that is going to be blowing some cooler air across england and wales, such that temperatures will drop by about 9 degrees in the capital, highs of 11 degrees or so. the change is brought about by this area of cloud, this cold front that continues to journey southwards, still bringing the threat of perhaps a little bit of patchy rain over the next few hours across wales, midlands, east anglia, into south—east england as well. further north, if you are heading outside, there is certainly a chill in the air with a widespread frost developing in the countryside, particularly in scotland, where we're looking at temperatures getting down to about —4 degrees celsius. if you are heading out the next hour or two, also wrap up warm, it will be cold. plenty of sunshine across northern areas of the uk, through scotland, northern ireland and northern england.

that is probably where the best of the weather will be. across wales, the midlands, east anglia and southern counties of england, more cloud than we had on saturday and a chill easterly wind as well, temperatures of 11 celsius in london compared with the 20 we had yesterday. you will notice that change for sure. looking at the weather picture through sunday evening and overnight, the skies will tend to clear and the winds will fall light. a recipe for things turning cold once again. patchy frost developing in the countryside, so a chilly start to the new working week. on monday, we have a lot of dry weather to come across england, wales and eastern areas of scotland too. there will be some change in the weather to the north—west where cloud will thicken, outbreaks of rain moving into northern ireland and western scotland and turning progressively heavier as we go through the day, it will be cold enough even for some snow over the hills in scotland. moving southwards, the wind coming up from the south, 13 or 14 degrees celsius, probably not feeling too bad. but things get much colder as we head to tuesday, a cold front swinging eastwards across the uk, taking a band of rain with it and introducing these bitterly cold north—westerly winds. the rain clears to a mixture

of sunshine and showers on tuesday, the showers could be heavy, thundery and potentially wintry. yes, we could see a litle bit of snow across some of the hills, particularly in the north and west of the uk. and it will be cold, just 6 degrees celsius northern of scotland, factoring in the wind it will feel like quite a cold april day. that's the latest weather. just a reminder — if you haven't already done so, the clocks go forward to british summer time on sunday.
