i'm a member of the european parliament for the brexit party.o i've known nigel and worked with nigel farage for, like, ten years. i would love to know how you feel as a woman in politics. one thing i always try and do is i bring myself to whatever i'm doing. i don't try and be someone i'm not. you know, i'm alex phillips, daughter of a lorry driver, brought up in gloucester. you know, wore my brother's shellsuits till i was about 11! because basically we didn't have much cash. love that. i mean, yeah, it is difficult. the thing that drives me the most mad actually is you always get the whole, like, "she's probably slept with this person or that person..." really? yeah. oh, yeah. i hate that. all of that scandal, that... you know, if you're a young woman, you know, especially looking a bit like brexit barbie, people always... is that your rap name? that is totally my rap name. people always want to sort of speculate on who you're dating... frankly, i've got a cat, i'm happy. leave me alone. but in politics... in politics that's ridiculous. that

the withdrawal agreement has to be ratified in the european parliament which will happen sometime inill happen sometime injanuary. so, yes, friday is an important symbolic moment and prove what we know, the majority is there to get the legislation through to ensure that brexit happens on the 3ist to ensure that brexit happens on the 31st of january, but there are a few steps to go to end that process. in terms of other things in the queen's speech, brexit front and foremost, but the nhs, other things this house will have to deal with? certainly a priority focus for the government on the nhs, partly because that was one of the big promises in the election campaign. and so they know they have new voters in the north of england, for whom the nhs was a priority. they now have to deliver. obviously there will be an argument from a diminished labour party, yes, but you are still not putting in as much money as we did the last time we we re money as we did the last time we were in government. as a cash figure it's bigger, but when you take account of inflation, it's less funding proportiona

conviction came off the us or its conviction and sentencing came after his election to the european parliament technically he was immediately he has a mean as the parliamentary immunity under that position as an m.e.p. and this is a ruling that the european court has given to the spanish justice system and the spanish justice system is making its kind of. motions to put that into practice what it means essentially is that he can go to brussels if the supreme court says that is what it's going to do they have also asked the spanish for his immunity to be removed by the european parliament that is something that the european parliament has said he would need to be requested if spain wants to keep this guy in prison the base in spain does want to keep this guy in prison supposedly they are saying go to brussels get your get your credentials come back and then go back to jail but it has a stays an interesting bit of kind of legal machinery that's going through this process at the moment can you put it into a sort of wider political context for us henri in the sense of the catalan independence move

now heading remorselessly for this bill to pass through the commons, the house of lords, the european parliamentrmally out of the eu byjanuary 31, in other words on that timetable which the eu and borisjohnson have already agreed to. while we watch the swearing—in going on, a point about the opposition. you said there could be a ruck, as you put it, about some of the changes to clauses, but what to beyond complaining can the opposition do and how much complaining is politic in this circumstance? a very good point. there was considerable unease in the shadow cabinet when the decision was taken to oppose this legislation. labour has always opposed it, and you could argue it is consistent to keep opposing it, but the bottom line is, many labour voters in traditional labour seats voted conservative in the last election precisely because they felt the party was reneging on brexit and the party was reneging on brexit and the danger to continue opposing the legislation in the eyes of some labour mps is that it looks like the party is still not in listening mode, it doesn't get it and is still ignoring
