today, jeremy corbyn found himself in the firing line. speaker: jeremy corbyn.ck to the commons to explain himself to mps. i referred to those who i believe were seeking to turn a debate about the national crisis facing our country into a pantomime as "stupid people". mr speaker, i did not use the words "stupid woman". senior labour figures say this was a phoney row contrived by the conservatives. of course, everyone else will make up their own minds. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. the european commission has published a series of contingency measures designed to limit what it calls the most significant damage that would be caused by a no—deal brexit. the measures include temporarily allowing british airlines to operate flights into and out of the eu but not within in it. hauliers will be able to carry freight by road into the eu for a nine—month period without having to apply for permits uk financial services regulations in a limited number of areas would be recognised as equivalent to the eu‘s for up to two years. the commission also urged states to take

jeremy corbyn, the man who can do no right in my eyes.l comes towards him and he not only misses the ball, he pulls over flat on his face. this is one of the worst governments i can ever remember. labour should be 20 points ahead. if they didn't have such a terrible leader, they would be. many, many labour supporters are pro—remain, particularly young people, who are the people who swept into power with the help of momentum. students and young voters we re momentum. students and young voters were reenergised by jeremy momentum. students and young voters were reenergised byjeremy corbyn. although many labour voters are not leave supporters. yes, but the labour party members who joined leave supporters. yes, but the labour party members whojoined up in the hundreds of thousands a couple of years ago, including my own children, were energised by jeremy corbyn's appeal to the idealistic nature of young people, and so many of them are remain supported and he has this 1970s fixated with the eu being a capitalist club. he is fixated with the ide

it sounds like a dramatic piece of political theatre jeremy corbyn was like a dramatic piece of politicalatrejeremy corbyn was producing. in fact, it is a fairly meaningless motion in many ways. calling for a vote of confidence in the prime minister is a symbolic act byjeremy corbyn. it may be the government decides to allot time for this vote to ta ke decides to allot time for this vote to take pace but even if it passes, which, of course, would require the support of the dup and a handful of tories as well to get it over the line, even if labour passes this motion, it doesn't actually amount to anything. it is only symbolic, it isn't a vote of confidence in the government. that is legislated for a different way, and that could potentially go on and trigger a general election, were labour to win that. it is not a vote of confidence in the government, but in the prime minister. there has been an anguished debate within the labour top ranks over the last couple of weeks about what it should be doing to pile pressure on the government. there are people in the labour party who think labour s

chanting: 0h jeremy corbyn!ver the summer, with members of the ruling national executive committee being forced to resign over comments they had made, and an argument broke out over the party's adopted definition of anti—semitism. they finally accepted both the international holocaust remembrance alliance definition and their examples into the code of conduct, but only after lots of criticism from within the party. there were more casualties. both frank field and john woodcock were facing their own challenges, and cited the party's approach to anti—semitism as reasons they could no longer support labour. jeremy corbyn hoped to draw a line under the issue with his conference speech. i say this to all the jewish community — this party, this movement — we are your allies. we will always be implacable campaigners against racism and anti—semitism in all its forms. but hang on — we are getting ahead of ourselves. theresa may had to deal with a major incident in march when sergei skripal, a former military officer in r

the serious point of it was in the middle of the story in the telegraph, the rockets over what jeremy corbyntory in the telegraph, the rockets over whatjeremy corbyn had or had not actually sent to the more parliamentary time than prime minister's questions itself. that's the whole point. for somebody coming from abroad and seeing the mother of parliaments that we still probably talk about, seeing that today, pantomime is the right word.” suppose it‘s the tone, isn‘t it? that always comes up and we‘re talking about conduct in parliament. yeah, 0k. gone out the window! it's all about lip—reading. let‘s turn to the daily mail. this is what caused the daily mail. this is what caused the so—called chaos today. the daily mail. this is what caused the so-called chaos today. those questioning mr corbyn's version of events, according to the daily mail, are not only on the other side of the house to him. but the fact of the house to him. but the fact of the matter is, we do not know... you have to accept what mr corbyn says that he did not say what he is alleged to have said. but it is extraordinary,

of the exchange between the prime ministerandjeremy the exchange between the prime minister and jeremy corbyn she had the last word and he muttered something under his breath. i don't know what it was. if it is as is widely being reported, then i think most people would accept that jeremy is one of the personally most courteous people in parliament. he doesn't use bad language. if he did doesn't use bad language. if he did do that, then obviously i'm sure he would recognise that it is something that it would recognise that it is something thatitis would recognise that it is something that it is appropriate to apologise for. but i think the key point here is the real stupidity is that we have a prime minister who is trying to run down the clock on brexit. we will talk about that in a minute. we will talk about that in a minute. we will talk about brexit. let me finish this point. everyone knows jeremy corbyn. he is basically quite a polite individual. what is the anger amongst tory women genuine or anger amongst tory women genuine or a bit put on? well, i think he didn't have a good pmqs, he w

i do not trust jeremy corbyn any position keeps changing. any more than i trust theresa may. we have two mean politicians in this country who continually disappoint, let us put it like that. what is interesting is the comment —— two main politicians. they are the only ones that back theresa may's deal, the mail on sunday. i find that interesting, don't you? the mail has been wobbly for some time. meaning on my side. the remainers. it is a change of editor. this one is now, who is the editor. this one is now, who is the editor of the mail on sunday?m editor. this one is now, who is the editor of the mail on sunday? it was always remain. it is going to say, obviously the implication of this is that the labour party will trigger a no—confidence vote in the government and, presumably, when it. iwould not be so sure about that. if there isa not be so sure about that. if there is a no—confidence vote in the government i suspect the government would win, because the tories would surely vote for the government. they are not going to vote against the

we have seen jeremy that isn't especially surprising. we have seenjeremy corbynt to be talking about why he isn't talking about how women are going to be disproportionately affected by brexit and we don't have time for parliament to spend a day arguing about who has lip read correctly. do you think the fact that it was a throwaway sideways remark makes a difference? in what way? in that he has been targeted unfairly, some might say. no, he has not been targeted unfairly, this is clearly the reaction of a man who doesn't like women talking to him in this way, he doesn't like being humiliated by women and that is an issue, but i don't think it's something we should be spending time talking about now. is this what the country really cares about and once oui’ country really cares about and once our parliament to be focusing on 100 days before we crashed out of the eu with no deal? i would argue the country would like jeremy corbyn to do something positive to prevent us having to crash out, not have medicines and all the negative things that will go for women, there w

the second player is jeremy corbyn. does he take the lead where make can't on the referendum as a potential way out? i think she is hoping for a move on either one of those issues. they will trade with europe and jeremy corbyn. thate: they could've taken opportunity today and he didn't because they had said if there wasn't an exec state that he would call for that vote of no-confidence in the government. it sounds like he is backtracking a little bit. a no deal, it would seem like conditions could get worse for the united kingdom. i'm not sure that is there was a bank -- robust banking system. is still strong. if every brit took every vacancy available, 300,000 people moving in between jobs, the unemployment rate would be effectively close to zero, like the americans'. stirling is extraordinarily cheap. traveling across the u.k. and effects,sinessmen the and every case they say the effects of a weak sterling outweighs regulatory uncertainty. if i sawif i saw the pound so oy on a no deal, i would be a buyer and not a sel

so, jeremy corbyn biding his time to make that move.overnment thinks we should eat preparing for that when the cabinet meets later on this morning. thank you very much, we will discuss that, number of politicians coming on later on this morning. we'll be talking to the shadow health secretary, john healey about this in more detail in about half an hour. rules to make it easier for companies to run individual train services alongside existing franchises could come into force in the new year. the rail regulator says it wants to create more competition by making it easier to run trains under so—called "open access" agreements. the office of road and rail says the contracts, which are in place in some parts of the rail network, make tickets cheaper and improve services. the bodies of two scandinavian tourists have been found near a village in the high atlas mountains of morocco. the remains of the women, one from denmark, and the other from norway, were discovered close to the village of imlil. they were found in an isolated area on the way

jeremy corbyn had another vote on his mind.an she now confirm that we will have the concluding days of debates and votes within the next seven days before the house rises for the christmas recess? if he says... well, i'll tell all members on the other side — we've had a meaningful vote, we had it in the referendum in 2016. and if he wants a meaningful date, i'll give him one. 20th march 2019 when we leave the european union. jeremy corbyn. totally and absolutely unacceptable to this house in every way. this house agreed a programme motion. this house agreed the five days of debate. this house agreed when the vote was going to take place. the government tried to unilaterally pull that and deny this house, deny this house the chance of a vote on this crucial matter. the prime minister and the government have already been found to be in contempt of parliament. her behaviour today is just contemptuous of this parliament. this government is a farce. the tory party is in chaos. the prime minister is a disgrace for those actions. the

jeremy corbyn hoped to more align over the issue with his conference speech. situation community, this party, this movie —— we are your allies. —— the jewish community. but hang on, we are getting ahead of ourselves, theresa may had to deal with the major incident in march when a former military office in russia and his daughter were poisoned by novichok in salisbury. either this was a direct act by the russian state in our country or the russian government lost control over this damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get into the hands of others. jeremy corbyn wasn't as quick to condemn russia and asked for more evidence. we need to seek a robust oil with russia on all of the issues currently dividing our countries, domestic and international, rather than simply cutting off contact and letting the tensions and divisions get worse and potentially even more dangerous. theresa may went on to name the russian suspects as a literary agents and along with other eu countries, she expelled russian diplomats. in march, theresa may was forced to give her third major br

jeremy corbyn spokesman said it doesn‘t matter what the decision is they reach becausejeremy corbyn is and we will see if there is further action. if not, i expect there will be further fuss made about the speaker‘s roll and whether he is being strong enough to enforce parliamentary robes. we shall see as the day goes on. what is also interesting, of mps have tweeted about incidents that happened to them including andrea jenkyns, who said she was insulted by the chancellor philip hammond. let‘s look at this and see what you think. thank you, mr speaker. cut the prime minister in form the house at what point it was decided that brexit means remain? prime minister! so despite the fact that everyone calls it should not honourable members here, you get the impression the house of commons is not always well—behaved and not always polite. i think we all know that. a quick reminder after today‘s controversy, only three months until brexit. yes, i bet they are also very glad it is so close to the christmas recess. it sounds like they need a bit of cooling fresh air. from westminster, many than

jeremy corbyn to call it. what progress you made?n to call it. what progress you made? i mean it is very clearly chaos, you can see from what is happening there is more chaos within the conservative party. so we will continue speaking to the labour party, the other opposition parties we because we think across the house there is no confidence in this government. i mean the government can't get legislation through, it doesn't matter who is at the helm. they cannot get legislation through the house just now, they cannot get legislation through the housejust now, i don't think the housejust now, i don't think the public has confidence in the government. i think it is probably time for a vote of no confidence in theresa may. a lot of people have made the point even if she does retain the leadership it doesn't change the maths across the road. is there anything she could bring back from brussels that would suit the snp? i guess not it would be nice if they were to extend article 50 at this moment in time. any brexit is going to be bad for

independent, like many other papers, is following the current saga of whether uk labour leader jeremy corbyn was filmed uttering the words "stupid woman" whilst taking part in a commons debate with uk prime minister theresa may. mr corbyn has denied using the sexist slur and insisted he said the words "stupid people" instead. and finally, the vox celebrates 175 years of charles dickens‘ a christmas carol. over the years, the book has been renacted for the stage and screen countless times making it an iconic christmas favourite. and i recently saw it at the old vic, playing the a christmas carol, it is superb. with me is nina trentmann from the wall streetjournal. let's look at the new york times, and its analysis of the decision that president trump tweeted, the news that they were withdrawing troops from syria and many even in his own party were shocked to read that week. it seems to be the way he tells people what he is up to. give us tells people what he is up to. give us your take on the move. it is interesting to see this came from twitter, which of course mr trump would be expected to

today, jeremy corbyn found himself in the firing line. jeremy corbyn...n, he had to come back to the commons to explain himself to mps. i referred to those who i believe were seeking to turn a debate about the national crisis facing our country into a pantomime as "stupid people". mr speaker, i did not use the words "stupid woman". senior labour figures say this was a phoney row contrived by the conservatives. of course, everyone else will make up their own minds. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:a0pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster david davies and kate andrews, associate director at the right—wing free market think—tank the institute of economic affairs. the european commission has published a series of contingency measures designed to limit what it calls the most significant damage that could be caused by a no—deal brexit. among other things, the measures would temporarily allow british airlines to op
