severally, we have heard news that an mp, dan poulter, has been cleared by the conservative party over allegations of behaving inappropriately towards female colleagues, what more do we know about this? one of a number of conservative mps people will remember back in the autumn were accused of various sexual impropriety incidents, he was accused by a fellow mp, andrew bridgen, of allegedly that he had treated women inappropriately, and an investigation was held, he has been found, they have found in his favour that he did not treat those women inappropriately. this investigation according to the conservative party was thorough and impartial, and chaired by an independent qc and there was insufficient evidence to support the complaint. that is what we have

, to the conservative party, to the conservative party, to the conservative party from russianiates. that the bra mood persisted when the prime minister returned to the dispatch box on wednesday. the deadline she had set the kremlin by midnight had passed without a response. theresa may set out the government's position. they have treated the use of a military grade nerve agent in europe with sarcasm, co nte m pt nerve agent in europe with sarcasm, contempt and. so mr speaker there is no alternative conclusion other than that the russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of sergei skripal and his daughter. under the vienna convention, the thinking there will now expelled 23 russian diplomats who have been identified as undeclared intelligence officers. they have just one week to leave. this will be the single biggest expulsion for over 30 years, and it reflects the fact that this is not the first time that the russian state has acted against our country. the attack in salisbury was an appalling acts of violence. nerve agents are abominable if used in any war, it is ut

much of it i think towards the conservative party.there is some reality dawning in the brexiteers and indeed within the cabinet. as to what leaving the single market and customs union actually means. i think it needs further analysis but on balance i'm happy the speech is made. there are many areas i remain very concerned about. i do worry that the united kingdom wants to jump ahead of further negotiations of where they are at. of course we need to know what framework of relationship we will have, but i'm also concerned we haven't agreed a withdrawal text at this stage. nor a transition period. we now have this speech. i've always been minded to say that while speeches are important particularly in terms of the political climate the united kingdom, they are not negotiating documents. they don't match what we have at eu level. we will need a document. i want to get out of the specifics of the speech, she talked in detail about the northern ireland border, wanting to make it as frictionless as possible with technology and goodwill. does

the republican party in the 1960's was not yet the conservative party. we saw that when we talked about goldwater and the tensions between the republican party over goldwater's nomination. there are many people in the aftermath after 1964 thought the party had gone too far right and they should recover the modern -- moderate voters and embrace the new republicanism that dwight eisenhower represented. it is not clear that they are going to go to the republican party in the 1960's. one of the biggest stories over the course, particularly and the second half of the 20th centuries, one of the biggest stories is the breakup of the solidly democratic south. the emergence of a solidly republican south. you see the in these quick slides. this is the electoral map in the 1900s, you can see the solid democratic south here going for the democratic candidate. compare that to the electoral map in 2000, this is representative of the kind of electoral maps you will see. throughoutave of red the confederacy. that is the big story, right. the solid democratic south becomi
