[uproar] mr. corbyn: mr. speaker, we are a democratic party. our party will decide what -- the election on. in the meantime, we are very clear that has to be a customs union. there has to be access to european trade and market. there has to be a protection of rights. the has to be a rejection of a no deal brexit. speaker,saying, mr. last week this government became the first in more than 40 years to lose on a finance bill, and a shocking first for this government. a shocking first. if forced heavily pregnant member of this house -- a heavily pregnant member of this house, my friend, to delay a scheduled cesarean to come to vote, all because of this cynical breaking of arrangements. i think we need to examine that and examine our procedures to ensure such a thing can never happen again. assistspeaker, could you the house please? this is an important matter. when need to establish once and for all, -- we need to establish once and for all. ar]ro >> that's no

i know many people at home will say, well, we have had two general elections and a referendum in the last four years. for the people of scotland comments to u.k. white elections, one parliamentary election -- 2 u.k. wide elections, one parliamentary election -- the scale of the crisis means we need a government with a fresh mandate. a general election can bring people together. that on all the issues actually unite us. the need to solve the crisis in our nhs, our children to schools, and our care -- our children schools, and our care for the elderly. abuse has become too common. that, mr. speaker, has become too common. whether that's the abuse of the -- abusef this house members receive, or the of these best the abuse -- order -- or the abuse -- order! >> don't yell from a sedentary position like that. if you seek to intervene, you see to do so in the usual way. just because you are angry does not justify you behaving in that way. stop it. jeremy corbyn? mr. corbyn: thank you, mr. speaker. , i am sure we can all unite. i'm sure we can all unite -- we can all unite in condemning racis

if you're successful this evening, there may be a general election soon. that labour party ma nifesto, election soon. in that labour party manifesto, will be state whether they will be a party for brexit or against? it is a simple what is the answer? —— it is a simple question. we area answer? —— it is a simple question. we are a democratic party. our party will decide what policy we fight the election on. but in the meantime, we are very clear, there has to be a customs union, access to european trade and markets, a protection of rights, a rejection of a no—deal brexit. as i was saying, mr speaker, last week this government became the first for more than 40 years to lose ona first for more than 40 years to lose on a finance bill. and a shocking first for this government. a shocking first. it forced a heavily pregnant member of this house, my friend the member for hampstead and kilburn, to delay a scheduled ca esa rea n to kilburn, to delay a scheduled caesarean to come and vote, all because of the breaking of voting arrangements. we need to examine our g—

that is why we need something new, that is why we need a general election.g sat throughout this entire debate, it has been a passionate debate characterised by many excellent speeches and i commend the members for tiverton and humming bolton west, mid norfolk, broxtowe, stirling, dudley south, stoke entree datum at stoke—on—trent south for a series of outstanding speeches on my site. it has also been the case, as the shadow secretary of state pointed out, that they have been many powerful speeches from the opposition benches as well and like him,| opposition benches as well and like him, iwant opposition benches as well and like him, i want to pay particular tribute to the members for warrington north, ilford north and birmingham hodge hill for moving and passionate speeches. their constituencies are lucky to have them as advocates for their concerns and needs. perhaps the bravest and finest speech from the opposition benches was given by the member for barrow—in—furness. it takes courage and he has it, having been elected ona labour and he has it, having be

gate general election, £555”?55 gate general election, the of the conference motion is spirit of the conference motion is to move to a people's vote. i would hope me would mm haven't time to delay. just 37 sitting days 232; days. haven't time to delay. just 37 sitting days 5:51 days. that you: going into shortly mps have filed in and we arejust waiting in and we are just waiting for back in and we are just waiting for the result in the next few moments. faiza, listening to chuka umunna, if you lose this vote of no confidence, which you say you expected, is it a people's vote? we are going straight into the commons. 0rder, order! the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. so the noes have it, the noes have it. unlock. that is the result from the speakerjohn bercow. we heard that the government has in fact won that vote and the motion of no confidence has been lost by labour. let's listen to the prime minister. it seems there's house has expressed its confidence in the government tonight. i do not take t

because in my opinion the only way through the us is to have a general election get a fresh new administration elected so that we can then negotiate a deal this fit for purpose with european union but i would also mean extending all tickle fifty girls. i think you know the direction you want to go if you want a people's vote how do you get seems very difficult to see that situation a managing from the well the first step has been this meaningful vote remember this is something that people vote campaign were pushing for we were trying to tell everyone at least give parliament the power to boot something into the long grass if they don't like it and there was lots of bricks a tear opposition to that now actually they've been using it to because we all recognise as you just heard this deal is appalling and no one backs it defeated by two hundred thirty votes to two on ratio completely crushing so that's step one down actually having this mechanism and using this mechanism to get rid of those bad deals with then reliance upon labor because labor. have a policy of going first for a general election

securing a general election isn't straightforward, but the shadow chancellor was also here to make thease for it. the only solution to austerity, the only solution to tackling the threat that brexit poses is a general election and the election of a labour government. this demonstration here wasn't primarily about brexit, but this gathering, like others,

referendums are not a general election. a referendum isa not a general election.ecific issue. we have had that and therefore saying that we are out of therefore saying that we are out of the eu does not negate the fact that what labour would have done is take us what labour would have done is take us out of the eu that we would have negotiated a deal that would have united the nation. is disingenuous at the moment is that the prime minister is trying to say she is trying to carry out the wishes of the british people. she has done nothing to placate the 52% who voted leave for two main reasons, the forgotten towns and cities that have been de— industrialised. the conservative government says nothing about investing into those communities. and the whole issue of migrant labour, the second issue that caused people to vote, the conservative party have said nothing about it. let's work it out for a moment. i know you are not so keen on polling evidence but a lot of evidence suggests that one of the key reasons that the uk voted to leave the eu was that they were worrie

i look forward to testing opinion in a general election, in the ballot box when we'll be able to elect in this eduhtw?" "f" can he confirm that it is the position of the british labour party to rule out and no—deal brexit, and can he understand why the party that claims to be the traditional party of business won't do the same? we have voted against a no—deal brexit. apparently, the business secretary thinks that's a good idea. the prime minister was unable to answer my question on this during prime minister's question time. and no—deal brexit would be dangerous and damaging forjobs, industry across this country. mr speaker, this government cannot govern and cannot command the support of parliament on the most important issue facing our country. every single previous prime minister in this situation would've resigned and called an election. it is the duty of this house to show the lead where this government has failed and pass a motion of no confidence so that the people of this country can decide who their mps are and who their government is and who will deal with the crucial issues f

and if a general election cannot be secured, and we will try, we will keep all options on the table including for a public vote. but an election must be and is the priority. it's not only the most practical option, it's also the most democratic option. it would give the winning party ever renewed mandate to negotiate a better dealfor britain and secure support for it in parliament and across the country. defeat for the government's central policy on tuesday would be historic. it would not only signal the failure of theresa may's premiership, but the failure of the conservative party as a party of government. this is, after all, a party that for decades claimed to be the natural party of government. a safe bet for the country, that's what they used to tell us. now we see the reality. they don't know what they're doing. they don't know what they're doing. they have led us from chaos to crisis. they have no answers or legislation to fix the many crises of their own making. whether it's the cost of living, housing, personal debt, or escalating inequality. rising crime or collapsing public service

u nless general election to get into power. can't be seen as being a remain supportive. that's gone to the telegraph. david davis is theresa may should delay the brexit vote. does that make sense? you don't want to lose the vote, maybe she should, but she is already delayed it wants. it would go down very badly. they organised a confidence vote against. over a third of her mps voted against her. they can't do that against her. they can't do that again but there are things other mp5 could do anything if she were to try and delay it too far, you would see pro— remain mps perhaps think about voting. you already have nick boles he is conservative, saying that he would vote in any way possible to stop no deal brexit so if mps start to worry that you are putting off the boat, you increase the chances ofa the boat, you increase the chances of a deal voting down. it's pretty dangerous for her. currently, its blues— lose. unless she has a rabbit to polite about next week when she says what concession brussels has given heron the says wh

we will make a judgment on whether to have a no—confidence vote and if that will trigger a general electionus, this is notjust election. the key thing for us, this is not just about election. the key thing for us, this is notjust about brexit but about posterity, that is why suddenly people were marching today. the government is disintegrating before our eyes. it even had to amend its owi'i our eyes. it even had to amend its own finance act to get it through. we are seeing a government in office but not in power. it is time to have a general election. if you can't force a general election, which seems difficult at least, labour's policy is to call for a second referendum. will you follow through with that? we are sticking rigidly and firmly by what our members decide at the party conference. debate this deal, called for a general election, ben hamer no—confidence vote, and then keep all the options on the table. 0ne no—confidence vote, and then keep all the options on the table. one of those options is a second referendum. we are sticking to what our members have instructed us to do. in she

himself so he wants a general election if he doesn't get his way there isn't a general election then one of the possible options is that they might decide to support a people's vote a second referendum but that is by no means confirmed and i mean when you just listen to him it's so unclear not exactly what he wants but very very frustrating for those people who do want to second referendum because it is kind of in jeremy corbin's hands to make that happen if you wanted to but we do know the to resubmit is required by an act of parliament that if this deal is defeated tonight she has to come back in several days next monday she has to come back with an alternative plan a plan b. if you will. what can she do well it's a very good question what can she do i think it's healthy likely that she will come up with a very similar deal and maybe there will be a few tweaks and that she is going to go back to brussels to try to get more concessions but we've already seen this week that letters have been between brussels and between downing street have been exchanged and promises have been made b

i certainly want a general election. i wa nt to certainly want a general election. were a general election, what will we go into the general election promising in terms of brexit? it is pretty clear now that brexit is a tory project through and through. it is about imperial nostalgia, legitimising right—wing narratives about immigration. and it will be used by future tory governments to deregulate the economy and attack workers. and i think under those circumstances, labour is in a position to say look, the tories have made a mess of this. we need to go back to the people. there is a debate within labour that was very often wrongly polarised between pointing a general election in a labour government and wanting a referendum. 0f absolutely am a counter post. i think what we will find is the only way for labour to win an election, if it happened, with two promising referendum. you make a lot of assertions there that a lot of people would disagree with. for example, there are many leaves supporters in labour moulting areas, so so characterize it as a pure really tory p

the fit the genuine fears and concerns that people have got and that requires a general election. if you can to deal with the housing crisis if you can to deal with across this in education if you going to deal with across this in health if you going to deal with the need to create decent. secure jobs you need a government to do that and that's the government you're old enough to remember the demonstrations against that's right ideas with. their demonstrations never used to begin at the headquarters of the state when the broadcaster of this country the b.b.c. was today's was beginning as the b.b.c. . is years old ok. but it is true to say that we deliberately chose the baby say because there has been a news blackout against protests and we've not been exempt from that of course national demonstrations get very little national coverage and the reality is we try to organize in acme to engage with people in their communities to fight the impact of us ever that manifests itself locally but every now and again you do need to have a national demonstration national profile that brings pe

and it is this, that we vote down the deal, then we have to try and secure a general election and force the government. then, all of out against the government. then, all of our options are on the table. in reality, a general election will be almost impossible for you to force, because theresa may has, with the a small majority in parliament. conservative and dup mps won't vote for a general election that will lead to a jeremy corbyn government. it hopefully will lead to a jeremy corbyn government. let's see what the circumstances are next week. they are changing by the hour. let's see what the dup do. the labour party will only put that vote of no—confidence against the government when we have the best chance of winning a general election, which is clearly what the people here want. thank you for your time. it is noisy, and it will get noisier year later. but it's also going to be very noisy parliament this week. tom barton, many thanks. the headlines on bbc news: prison sentences of under six months could be scrapped in england and wales for all but violent and sexual offences — under

looking at it is the idea that if there was a confidence vote, does that necessarily result in a general electionause if you look at whether the conservative base, any part of the conservative party would want an election and whether the dup would want an election it doesn't seem that it would be necessarily in their interest. so you may find yourself -- that may be potentially the route to a second referendum in a sense. >> just very quickly on friday they said the market has decided that brexit isn't going to happen pound should rally it's oversold do you agree >> that's quite extreme. i would reiterate, we're not taking strong positions in sterling assets at the moment. be ware of strong opinions >> william, thank you for joining us on the show and good luck with the trading over the next 48 hour it's certainly a lot of mines to navigate there william hobbs. >>> now switching gears away from brex it to the oil markets. saudi arabia's energy minister told cnbc exclusively that opec and its partners will meet production cut commitments this year however he stressed that some members like russia

labour says it wants a general election to resolve the brexit crisis, but the prime minister said todayhat an election was "simply not in the national interest". mr corbyn‘s motion is backed by the snp, the lib dems, plaid cymru and the green party, but it's unlikely to be enough to topple the government. last night, mps rejected theresa may's brexit deal in the biggest commons defeat in history. the withdrawal agreement was defeated by a majority of 230 votes. the commons is now debating that motion of no confidence submitted by labour. mps will vote at 7pm tonight but the government is expected to survive because all conservative mps and their allies in the dup should form a majority. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, has the latest, and his report contains some flash photography. facing a new day and a new fight for her survival. theresa may left downing street on the morning after her nightmare in the house of commons. the noes to the left, 432... last night, mps voted by a much bigger margin than expected against her brexit deal. the prime minister promised to listen and

what's expected is a resignation a possible general election more chaos it has to be said that here in the u.k. people are not just experiencing brecht's effects but certainly election fatigue would be an issue as well because many people remain or leave want this to move forward while obviously things here have been at a deadlock with so much uncertainty about what's going to happen next so still all of the possibilities of this new deal brags that no bracks and secondly a second referendum or general election reshuffling the government all of those are still possibilities as right now at this minute it's clear that the u.k. is somewhere that is much more uncertain than when this whole process began. europe was also eagerly awaiting the outcome of the vote with e.u. politicians quick to react spain austria and the czech republic said their governments were prepared for any type of breaks it some of the european leaders also expressed their readiness for anything. regarding the future relations the reason of course the possibility of further defining certain points if this helps to avo

a motion that could lead to the fall of the government or a general election. support of parliament on the most important issue facing our country. every single previous prime minister in this situation would have resigned and called an election. it is the duty of this house to show the lead whether government has failed and passed a motion of no confidence so that the people of this country can decide who the mps are and who they government is and who will deal with the crucial issues facing the people of this country. mr speaker, last night the house rejected the deal the government has negotiated with the european union. today it is asked a simpler question. should the next step be a general election? i believe that is the worst thing we could do. it would deepen... it would... it would deepen division when we need unity. it would bring chaos when we need certainty. and it would bring delay when we need to move forward. so i believe this house should reject this motion. the problem is the prime minister seems to be talking as if she had lost by 30 votes yeste

s from northern ireland do not want to see a general election take place now that could open the door to a labor and a jeremy corbyn government she seems therefore safe if she loses of course well then there's a fourteen day grace period in which the government can try to regain the confidence of the house or sort out some other kind of governing majority both of which seem extremely unlikely at that point parliament would be disbanded and a general election taking place perhaps a month or so after that i can just remind us why parliament is so and the main. m.p.'s know what they want and stand. well i mean this amount of opposition to reason may's deal in theory at least coalesces around the northern island backstop mechanism within the withdrawal agreement that seeks to guarantee no hard border on the island of ireland and which keeps the u.k. in customs union terms with the european union until some successor agreement trade agree. it is put in place that could take years many m.p.'s fear therefore u.k. subservience to e.u. economic structures potentially indefinitely that's what t
