the house of commons makesjudgment on the rest of us. ave to abide by the laws that are created in the house of commons. they do have to hold themselves to a higher degree of behaviour. while there are no new allegations against him, there is evidence that things that he previously viewed as flotation might become public. on to the telegraph, your front—page story. the become public. on to the telegraph, yourfront—page story. the headline was interesting. fallon quits as westminster sex scandal claims its first scalp. is the indication that there could be more? there might be more. we might go back to the back to basics crisis that laid waste to john major. that was seen by journalists as no more sex and sleaze, and it triggered all sorts of stories. the other point is that it's quite easy to get tribal about this, and say that it is one party against another. i am a pretty tribal person, having been a labour person, andl tribal person, having been a labour person, and i would say that all parties have an issue with this. we heard terribl

my or leader of the house of commons? use there were legal proceedings already happening. 0bviously, gavin williamson and andrea leadsom were mentioned in the piece that we just heard. my experience of them in their roles has been very much taking their responsibilities on the parliamentary estate incredibly seriously. now, if there is a disconnect between what happens off the parliamentary estate and on, that's what we need to be dealing with and as i say, this lady who has come forward, with such a powerful story, we applaud herfor what come forward, with such a powerful story, we applaud her for what she has done and we have to learn all the lessons cross party from all these brave women who are coming forward and showing that their experience of politics is not a very good one. the clerk says he didn't formerly report to andrea leadsom and gavin william and there was a rape allegation because the clerk says there was a criminal case proceeding. he refused to tell us who he did speak to about what he had been told, sayi

will it be, as i say, the house of commons standards committee or the full house of commons or will itthe opposition? these are key issues that will have to be quickly sorted out. i was interested by one of the things that sir michael fallon said when he resigned as defence secretary earlier this week, he said that he came to the conclusion that his behaviour fell short of what was accepted now and things that may have been accepted ten or 15 years ago in terms of relations between men and women are no longer the case, do you think things have changed in that way or are we acknowledging things that have a lwa ys acknowledging things that have always been and always been unacceptable? i think the sort of behaviour that has been alleged has a lwa ys behaviour that has been alleged has always been unacceptable, but i think the tolerance of this in places with rather closed societies like the house of commons have, in fa ct like the house of commons have, in fact changed. higher standards are now expected and i think sir michael fallon was right about that. we haven't had the systems in pl

i am joined reporting to the house of commons later today. ot a blunder. it is a very serious mistake which will have serious consequences of life and death. my constituent has been in jail and death. my constituent has been injailfor and death. my constituent has been injail for more and death. my constituent has been in jail for more than 18 and death. my constituent has been injail for more than 18 months. she has been on hunger strike and is suicidal and now the iranians judiciary website said in light of what the foreign secretary of our country said, this is fresh light on her case and will face fresh charges. this is deeply worrying. he needs to put out a statement immediately. how do you respond to those who say that we need to avoid making political points and the more publicity given to this, the more it makes her position even more difficult? i am not interested in political point scoring. i only want my constituent to come back home to herfamily and my constituent to come back home to her family and come back to west ham stood wher

will it be all members of the house of commons? arrangements that exist for members of parliament. those are key questions because there needs to be total transparency, and there needs to be swift disciplinary action if the evidence justifies that. i wonder how confident you are that. i wonder how confident you are that all the parties are saying now that all the parties are saying now that something must be done and we have reached the point that now things must change, whether an independent organisation if they we re independent organisation if they were established would be quite so enthusiastic about it? that is a lwa ys enthusiastic about it? that is always the problem. they didn't like not being able to control the expenses system and there is still some unease but i think that system, on the half of parliament, has done a good job. whether it needs a new body or whether itjust needs some very skilled professional people able to deal with complainants and carry out investigations is another matter, but i still think the key i

sides of the house in a frenetic and frankly outlandish party, both sides, he should seek to imitate the zen -like calm and statesmanship of the father of the house. [laughter] i have much in common with zen, mister speaker. mister speaker, 17 months, i understand mister speaker the tory wits of the date choreographing who to shout at who in the chamber. you're making a very bad job of it. mister speaker, 17 months south of the referendum, they say there can be no hard border but haven't worked out how. they say they will protect workers rights, then vote against it.they say they will protect environmental rights, then vote against it. they say they will protect tax avoidance, but vote against it time and time again. and mister speaker, once again opthe foreign secretary voiced his opinions as the environment secretary saying energy s insufficient going into these brexit negotiations. their words, mister speaker, not mine. isn't it true this government has no energy, no agreed plan, no strategy to deliver a good brexit for britain. >> can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, you talk about voting against tax avoidance measures. it was the labour party that if you refused to al

there is no recourse, there is no hr department in the house of commons that can issue guidelines. ult of not enough women in the house of commons. when you have more women, when you have gender parity, within a chamber, the culture of the chamber changes because women feel far more emboldened to say, this is not on. but men also behave better, they know that actually very certain behaviour that cannot be accepted. is that something unique to the british political system, how would this pair with what has happened in france? exec to the frame in france but in france, you had people not saying anything because no one will listen. you had a privacy law instead. that privacy law allowed people to do terrible things. i remember, when i was at le monde, the main job was to cover the minister of finance. there was a sexual predator, they reported constantly to the editors, and they said, can't do anything, he is a friend of mine. he is a friend about. that was dominique strauss kahn. if something had been done then, we would not have had that incident. the incident in new york. so it is e

hopkins's party membership was suspended and also his membership of the labour party in the house of commonsarty whip was suspended while an investigation takes place into these allegations. kelvin hopkins is the latest in a series of mps to face allegations of sexual harassment in recent weeks. one labour mp i spoke too from the east of england tonight told me that he was shocked to hear these allegations. while this investigation takes place, the suspension of kelvin hopkins means that he can't sit in the house of commons as a labour mp. he will be forced to sit as an independent but he does remain the mp for his luton north constituency. a position he has held since 1997. we understand the labour party had previously received a complaint in relation to kelvin hopkins from this party activist and at the time we understand he was reprimanded by the party. that of course calls into question the labour party's statement tonight that they take all such complaints are cleanly seriously and have robust procedures in place. at this stage we haven't heard any response from kelvin hopkins to these

something like that and get proposition, it varies between people and their experience of the house of commonsal with it. some are happy to deal with it on their own, some of the younger ones are not. it seems a lot of people feel, even if they dealt with at the time, they feel there is now a culture where it needs to be highlighted. part of this is about changing the culture. we've probably been there, you and i, rachel, in those situations where it's been predominantly men, whether in an office or other environment and you feel vaguely uncomfortable because of the level ofjokes or what they call banter, i would ban that word! it's very difficult to actually be the person that says, i don't find this very acceptable, i find it uncomfortable. harriet harman, who i think has done more than any other single politician in this country for the cause of within and women's rights, has been so often written off as a sort of misery guts, because she has been the person that very often is the lone voice that says this is unacceptable. that is easy for people to do when you are my age, it's not very eas

as you are aware, the withdrawal bill comes back to the house of commons on tuesday. yed, as mrs may try to get her rebels around the table and do a deal. the reason that the part of the bill's process is critical, it is where they can start putting amendments forward, it is the stage where they can start changing things. it says the prime minister is already struggling with the eu withdrawal bill, with labour expected to join tory rebels and inflict a series of defeats. theresa may does not have a majority. she has a confidence and supply arrangement with the dup, but it only takes a small number of her own mps to rebel for her to lose votes and house of commons. i think we are coming up to the stage now where tory mps are going to have to ask themselves if they are going to be pragmatic and act in the national interests, or go for the ideology of the hard brexit. i have to say, there is no consensus in the conservative party for either approach. i think it will get really messy. that is before it arrives in house of lords, where it will get even messier. the lords wi

the women and equalities committee is holding an inquiry into women in the house of commons. inster parties what was being done to make sure anyone with a complaint was more likely to come forward now than they had been in the past. i think there have been abuses of power, and i think this is something which goes right across the political parties. i‘m appalled that we haven‘t shown due leadership on this, historically. and i think the fact that it has been public pressure and the media that has brought this to the fore, we actually should be ashamed of ourselves that we haven‘t given proper leadership on it. we now know the scale of the problem and we must all work together to make sure that we get... but what's changed which would make somebody now come forward? i think the traditional complaints processes operated under a criminal standard of proof, which was very difficult to establish and inhibited people coming forward. it‘s now done on the balance of probabilities, which means that cases are much more likely to be determined for the complainer. a labour committee member

we'll have more detail and reaction, but we start with events in the house of commons, and our political nathoo. are you boxed in, chancellor? he has been under pressure, but the chancellor this morning was putting on a brave face. any tricks in your red box? preparing to set out the journey ahead for the government's tax and spending plans. brexit looms large. there's not much cash in the kitty and there have been demands from some of his conservative colleagues for a big and bold budget to lift the party's post—election gloom. in the commons, as the chancellor waited to deliver his statement, the prime minister insisted her government was putting the country first. i'm optimistic about our future. i'm optimistic about the success we can make of brexit. i'm optimistic about the well—paid jobs that will be created. i'm optimistic about the homes we will build. that's conservatives, building a britain fit for the future. i now call the chancellor of the exchequer, philip hammond. then it was philip hammond's turn at the dispatch box to set out his strategy. insisting the government had be

if that is what she wants she will win a vote on that in the house of commons regardless of what i dovote down a deal that includes the ecg for an interim period, i can be pretty confident of that, though, of course, i can't state it authoritatively. in a sense, it's interesting to talk about where the tory party is today. we have just had this very day, nick boles, a close confidante of david cameron and minister in the cameron parliament, he says the tory party, to deliver a new message to the british public, has to end all talk of austerity. austerity is over as far as he's concerned. now, you are an mp who has consistently supported, for example, all of the cuts to the welfare budget, the benefit system, do you feel the tories need to develop a message that says austerity is over? i think nick boles is one of the most important thinkers in the conservative party and always worth listening to. his fundamental point is that the deficit as a percentage of gdp was over 20% in 2010 and now is under 3%, and under 3% does not require emergency measures. having said that, we still need to

is it going to be the house of commons standards committee, will it be the full house of commons, willme minister, or the leader of the prime minister, or the leader of the opposition? these are key issues that will have to be quickly sorted out. you do get the impression that westminster is a very close shop and how that independent voice would fit in. what is the impression in terms of damage done to the political parties? with theresa may and jeremy corbyn are very much under pressure over this. at the moment, as if the government did not have an on its plate, dealing with brexit, also working without the proper majority, asa working without the proper majority, as a result of the deal with the dup. it has mounted more pressure at a fragile time for the government. some of the important questions about what comes as a result of all this, when it has run its course, they are looking at whatever changes and whether they will have the confidence of the public. whatever is put in place will need to have the confidence of younger parliamentary researchers, parliamentary researchers, parl

it has been shone on these murky goings—on, and the house of commons is a most unusual workplace for t into line. 0ther of work, and in this sense it needs to get into line. other big companies have a sexual harassment policy, they have that, but all those things do not exist with mps. the conservative mp roger gale has said this morning that it feels like a witchhunt. he insisted he is not downplaying serious allegations being made, but said, you know, let's hang on a bit here. things are getting a bit out of control. would you agree with that?” getting a bit out of control. would you agree with that? i don't agree with the whole idea that it is a storm in a teacup, that sweep it under the carpet, but at the same thing the facts are disputed over these things, and they are coming out by the hour. the whole business about michael gove making a joke, that seems like six months ago now, the stuff at the beginning of this week seems ages ago now. where the facts are disputed due process has to be done, we need a proper investigation so we actually know what went on, because who really kn
