there are plenty of mps, keir starmer has said it, labour mps, not to mention the party leader who said something we do not support because we know our constituents do not support it either. as i said, pure freedom of movement is not a requirement of the eea. let us be clear. i don't think people in my party want to see the british labour party echoing press releases from the british conservative party or, dare i say it, the uk independence party. they expect better from the party. that is not to deny that people do not have legitimate concerns about immigration. of course they do. but if you implement the right policies you can better manage it without completely adversely impacting on your economy. we know from the government's own research that the areas that stand to be hit hardest, to be hit hardest from us leaving the single market and customs union are precisely the labour areas we represent and many of the areas that voted to leave. you mentioned immigration and it is a difficult issue in many ways. but the former conservative party leader, current conservative mp iain duncan sm

but labour's brexit spokesman, sir keir starmer, said the votes this week were not the last chance toks. here's our political correspondent, susana mendonca. dark clouds are gathering ahead of a crucial vote for the government this week. backbench tories are threatening to rebel and labour says this will not be their only chance to do so. the idea that this tuesday or this wednesday is the last chance saloon on a single market deal is misconceived. there will be another chance with those bills. i hope we get significant victories this week on the things that matter, which is the meaningful vote, the customs union. the "meaningful vote" refers to giving parliament the power to force ministers back to the negotiating table and have a final say on what to do next if there is no deal between britain and the eu. the government wants ministers to keep hold of that decision—making power. people thinking about voting against the government this week need to think very seriously about it. the most important thing is we get the legislation through, because it avoids the legal cliff edge. it mak

sir keir starmer told the brexit secretary that it was very good to see him in his place. he's threatened to resign more times than he's met michel barnier. can the secretary of state say clearly, yes or no, will the government's amendment, to be published later today, make clear that should the proposed article 50 deal be voted down, it would then be for parliament to say what happens next, not the executive? i'm afraid the right honourable gentleman will have to wait to see the document when it's published. as he says, it will be published later today. and the amendment was indeed published, but remain—supporting conservatives said it didn't meet their requirements. that may lead to another clash when the bill returns to the commons next week. now, the uk space industry is already fighting to be part of the european satellite navigation system, galileo. and this week it suffered another brexit—shaped setback. the european space agency council has excluded the uk from the next stage of the project, despite british calls for a delay. this is the public regulated service —
