, it is just not a criticism of kenneth clarke, it isjust a not a criticism of kenneth clarke, mail is a conservative supporting newspaper and doesn't like tony blair itjust needs to be explained that this decision was made... let me pick up on that, it is interesting that tony blair has made an outspoken statement about brexit, do you see, as some are saying, link with daily mail being a pro brexit newspaper and tony blair coming out against an saying the remain team had two stand—up comedy you think there was a direct connection between this and a paper that has been his nemesis?” connection between this and a paper that has been his nemesis? i don't. tony has his views about how we handle brexit and as it happens my views, i was also very strongly campaigning for remain, but my reviews are slightly different from to ny‘s reviews are slightly different from tony's about how we go forward on that so i just think that this is a newspaper, the daily mail, which campaigned passionately for the release of these people, and yet now has done a complete somersaults. that is their pri

kenneth clarke, who gave the passionate speech last night.o called for mp5 to cut the will of the people. all of us and this has mr speaker will work together in the national interest but let me repeat. tonight we are not voting on the outcome, nor on the wider issues, but simply to start the process. it is absolutely essential that parliament now move quickly with a timetable that this house has already voted for. in december, to trigger article 50 by the end of march. in short, mr speaker, this is a straightforward bill, that delivers on the promise made to the people of the united kingdom to honour the outcome of the referendum. we must trust the people andi referendum. we must trust the people and i commend this bill to the house. the brexit minister there with a prime minister listening behind him. as jenny with a prime minister listening behind him. asjenny chapman, the shadow ministerfor behind him. asjenny chapman, the shadow minister for exiting the european union, the shadow brexit minister, warned the government that any deal would

bond: those names your mentioning, james robinson and kenneth clark, they all go on to make a name for themselves in what you generally could call race work. did you feel your generation was destined to do this or this was your calling? we helped each other understand that we were in college. as tough as it was in the days of oppression we had a responsibility. exciting to be a part of a group where you had james robinson who went on to found crossroads africa, or kenneth clark who had a role in brown versus board of education, or john marcel it became the assistant at naacp. spent -- we worked every week. we had anti-lynching one time. we were working another time against chain gangs. we had angela harnden come to the city. and janet robinson wrote a whole at paulservice brothers -- robeson's church. we had armbands. we had a harlem youth council, the harlem christian youth council. we would wear armbands. naacp would hand out a sign that said "a man was lynched today." we had 88 youth groups. we would call them and say a man was lynched today and therefore we would go down the times

then came a reference to kenneth clarke's speech in the commons last week.me minister's right honourable friend the member for rushcliffe last week pointed out that her aspiration to achieve barrier—free, tariff—free trade with the single market getting all the benefits but paying none of the costs was actually akin to disappearing down the rabbit hole to wonderland. mr speaker, i think she makes a very interesting choice for alice but if she doesn't manage to achieve that high ambition, would she produce an analysis of what trading on wto rules would actually mean for our economy, so we can make a proper choice? we believe it is possible within the two—year time frame to get the agreement, not just for our withdrawal from the european union, but also the trade arrangements that will ensure we have a strong strategic partnership with the european union in the future. shortly after pmqs, the commons moved onto more discussion on the details of the eu notification of withdrawal bill, better known as the brexit bill. the co—leader of the greens, caroline lucas,

the concerns about this have been brought up by labour members, kenneth clarke, the former chancellornt to come to parliament and consult before a final deal is reached. you can wait until you've got a complete deal and present that to parliament and parliament is left with no time to object. i will come back to that. or heads of terms, the re nta ble back to that. or heads of terms, the re ntable points of back to that. or heads of terms, the rentable points of the deal have been breached. at that point, you come to parliament and finally conclude it. in respect of that, that's not what we want. the second thing is in terms of parliament having the opportunity to send the government back to the negotiation table if we don't like the deal they have come to britain with because it is unacceptable. the big hole and this is that if the government decide to do no deal we don't get stay on that. it would mean that the trade rules we use and that means for our businesses, it means a 10% tariff on the top of the cost baker, 10% on your clothes, our agriculture, 40% on some meat. now thatis a

we've had four secretaries of state since 2010, kenneth clarke, chris grayling, michael gove and lizgoing backwards. i think the prisons adding crisis without a doubt and have been for a significant amount of time —— are in crisis, because they have taken so much money out of the prison system that there are 30% less prison officers and 50% less operational support so you take 10,000 staff out of the system, you cannot do the basics with that and security has been breached dn, day out. i don't need to go through all the statistics again. the government's one statistics tell you that everything from violence, suicide is to self harm and increasing and only yesterday we had a dreadful armed escape from liverpool hospital. we adding crisis, there's no denying that. one of the proposals is to have league ta bles of the proposals is to have league tables detailing how prisons are performing. is that a good idea?m not a new idea, we had it before. if certain prisons find themselves at the foot of the table, this isn't a football match, this is real people that we're dealing with and people

kenneth clarke and michael gove started that and she has opportunity to bring it to fruition.ners. when labour did that, you release them early but they go straight back into crime because they have had nothing done to them, and they go back to prison. prison population rose as a result of that. it is a cheap fix but it doesn't work. you can foresee a statement from the justice secretary at some point saying that where she sees good practice there will be extra resources and it has to be millions of pounds diverted into some of these areas, if people are, if we are talking about thousands of prisoners, having literacy and numerate skills transformed, it can't happen without the money, surely? it can't, but it has to start with the structures. we have written about this endlessly and we setting up a special prison reform commit —— commission and it will watch and shadow everything in this department because we are concerned that too much has —— too little has taken place in the past. we want her to recognise that there are some basic essentials. risen as arrived at the to drugs

it looks like kenneth clarke will be the only tory voting against...s reasons very well. for all of us, we campaigned on both sides of this. i was a remainor, but the fundamental thing and douglas both agree with concept of a referendum with something this important, we had to hear the voice of the country. we can argue and there has been lots of arguments about the points that were made, the alternative facts that we re made, the alternative facts that were presented, but the point is we gave people a voice and they told us with that voice loud and clear that they want to leave and it is now up to us to take on that responsibility and to help and support the government in shaping what leave looks like, but i don't think there isa looks like, but i don't think there is a consensus about what leave looks likement you will have some people talking about this terrible time, a hard brexit and others who talk about a soft brexit, what the prime minister has been really good and thank goodness we have a woman in charge frankly, she has set out a clear plan w
