mr. speaker: jeremy corbyn. mr. byn: thank you, mr. speaker. i join the prime minister in sending our sympathies and our solidarity to the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. yes, the attack was disgusting, depraved and appalling, and i am sure every single member of this house would completely and unreservedly condemn it for what it is. i will also be joining the prime minister to commemorate armistice day and remember all those who lost their lives in the first world war and indeed all the other wars since. mr. speaker, "if i were a prison governor, a local authority chief executive or a head teacher, i would struggle to find much to celebrate" -- in the budget. "i would be preparing for more difficult years ahead." does the prime minister think that analysis is wrong? mr. speaker: can i say to the right honorable gentleman looks -- if you look at what we set out in the budget, he will see that we set out more money for schools, more money for prisons -- yes, more money for prisons. have what we have set out in t

jamie robertson has been speaking to cbi presidentjohn allan, who gave his reaction to mr corbyn's speech a vision for the future of this country. and he has identified, i think, some of the problems we have as a society. there is too much inequality. i think business and government need to work together to remedy that. i think we don't think that all of his solutions would work. in particular, we think nationalisation would be a step backwards rather than a step forwards. it would divert resources from much more important priorities. but you know i think it was good he came along. we appreciated him coming along and he told us about his vision. his agenda. what about his views on brexit and the idea of on brexit and the idea of a customs union? and a customs union, let's face it, was what the director—general of the cbi, has been asking for. indeed. i think we would be keen to see something like a customs union, whether it's called the customs union or something else, as part of the long—term solution. clearly, if we get through, if parliament voted in favour of the current proposal, the

jeremy corbyn! mrpeaker, we respect the results of the referendum, what we don't respect is the shambolic mess this government has made up association. the mess they have created that they can now get themselves out of. we won't let them destroy this country prosperous economy or the jobs and chances of so many others. could she take him on one side and have a quiet word with him? and tell him that 10,000 lorries arrived at dover everyday handling i7% of this country's entire trade in goods. estimated to be £122 billion last year. this willful ignorance by a person in high office is disturbing to so many people. i will tell him where the willful ignorance lies, it lies on the labour party front bench which think you can build a better economy by spending 1000 billion pounds more, putting people taxes and destroying jobs. the real threat tojobs and growth in the country sits on the labour party front bench. and i'll tell him what we are delivering in relation to brexit. he says what about brexit, yes i

theresa may has agreed to take part in a bbc debate, but mr corbyn says he's in favour of a proposalfromohn pienaar sent this report. lots of travelling, plenty of salesmanship, but who's buying? theresa may's taken her brexit plan around the country and now it's emerged she is keen to make a pitch on prime—time tv confronting labour's leader. but the hardest sell is at westminster and today she faced mps, the toughest customers of all. throughout this process, people have been telling me we wouldn't reach this point. as soon as we do reach this point, people want to say, "oh, well, if you don't get it, what are you going to do next?" i'm focusing on getting this. but there was doubt and hostility on all sides. the rights that you and i had to live, work and love across a continent of 28 nations is going to be deprived to our young people because of your obsession with immigration. no. it's quite something when our own chancellor and our own bank of england governor trashes the future of our country as part of a propaganda exercise. that's what's happening, isn't it? that is not what is

mr. jeremy corbyn. >> it breaches the prime minister's own red lines, it doesn't deliver a strong economic deal that supports jobs and industry, and we know they haven't prepared seriously for no deal. does the prime minister still intend to put a false choice but to parliament between her botched deal or no deal? can i say that he is wrong and a description that he set out, but can i also say, time and time again, he has complained and said that the government isn't making progress. now, when we are making progress and close to ideal, he is complaining about that. can i just say, i think what that clearly shows is that he and the labour party have only one attention, that is to frustrate brexit. >> jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, after the shambles of the last two years of negotiations, the prime minister should look to herself in this. she hasn't managed to convince quite a lot of people behind her. the rail minister resigned last week saying, to present the nation with a choice between two deeply unattractive outcomes is a failure of british statecraft on a scale unseen since the sewage

mr. corbyn and how does labor fit into this moment?ay used the phrase in the national interest, i think i counted five times, maybe more. that's what she is going to need. support across the aisle from this man's party if she is to get this through. how many rebels there will be in his party is crucial. they have said this morning they will not back her in this deal. does that mean voting for no or will they allow for another option here? i hear varying comments on that. that is crucial. tom: i was looking at the bookers and i should say and i was looking at the bookees and the odds and they are flipping around and all of that. what is the framework within the nation that prime minister corbyn could be greeted by the queen? is that in the realm of possibly? anna: there would be a number of hurdles. we could see another conservative taking leadership. that would be big change enough, wouldn't it? essentially to get rid of the conservative party there has to be a vote of no confidence in the party as a whole and that would have to be bro

jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, this is just another example of the contempt in which the government holds police officers. who said that? not me. the police federation. no wonder the police federation of police chiefs are taking the government to court over their pay. mr. speaker, with the school funding cuts by 8% per people come does the prime minister think little extras are enough to in austerity in our schools? >> can i say to the right honorable gentleman what we actually zapping as i said earlier is more money announced in the budget for schools. that's on top of the 1.4 billion, on top -- [shouting] on top of 1.4 billion pounds extra that sort of been announced for schools this year and there will be up for the 1.2 billion going into schools next year and actually he's wrong because overall, per-pupil funding is being protected in real terms by this government. what do we see in the budget? were ending austerity, bringing that down, putting more money into our public services. we are taking country

jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, the prime minister didn't answer the question. is this the final deal or not? the working pension secretary says this is a deal. it has been baked. well, it is half baked. but other members of the cabinet want to amend the withdrawl agreement. the leader of the house said last week there is, and i quote, still the potential to improve on some of the measures. that's what i'm hoping to help with. can the prime minister clarify whether last week's withdrawl agreement is the final text, or is there another text that is on its way to us? >> i have to say to the right honorable gentleman that he won't get any different answer to this than he has had from me previously. the package of the deal we are negotiating with the european union has two parts to it. there is the leaving part, the withdrawl agreement and the future relationship, which is what is continuing to be negotiated with the european union. they go together as a package. yes, the withdrawl has been agreed in principle.

does your party leader wants that, mr corbyn? all the indications are that he does not.is possible if we find they will not be an election and the government is not prepared to take its approach that we might end up with one —— peoples vote. we are not at that stage at the moment and the labour party position is clear, set out in the resolution passed at our conference in september, take it each stage at a time. the real challenge today for the prime minister is that she used to talk about achieving frictionless trait, thatis about achieving frictionless trait, that is what the chequers proposals we re that is what the chequers proposals were intended to do before the eu did not agree to them but i did not hear her talk about that over the weekend at all and the reason why she can't is because she is determined to leave the customs union and single market and she knows you cannot have frictionless trait if you are doing that, and you also create the problem in northern ireland. i don't think she is being honest with the british people about the choice we have to make at

mr jeremy not merely with our liveliness, but with our courtesy. mrjeremy corbyn.eal. so does the prime minister still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her botched deal or no deal? can i say to the right honourable gentleman that he is wrong in the description he set out, but can i also say that, time and time again, he has stood up in this house and complained and said that the government isn't making progress or anywhere close to a deal. now when we are making progress and close to a deal, he's complaining about that. can ijust say that i think it clearly shows that he and the labour party have only one intention, that is to frustrate brexit and betrayed a vote of the british people. mr speaker, after the utter shambles of the last two years of negotiations, the prime minister should look to herself in this. and she hasn't managed to convince quite a lot of people behind her. the rail minister resigned last week saying to present the nation with a choice between two deeply unattractive outcomes, pasalic and chaos, is a failure of british statecr

corbyn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. and i want to thank the prime minister for the advanced copy of her statements. the withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration represent a huge and damaging failure. after two years of bungled negotiations, the government has produced a botched deal that breaches the prime minister's own red lines and does not meet our six tests. [shouting] the government, mr. speaker, is in chaos. there deal risk leaving the country and in the devon halfway house without a real say. when even the last brexit secretary who theoretically at least go should the deal says i cannot support the proposed deal. what faith that they get anyone else in this place or in this country? the government simply cannot put a a part of this half-baked deal the both the brexit secretary and his predecessor have rejected. no deal is not a real option and the government has not seriously prepared for it. the government must publish its full legal advice and the treasury a full economic impact assessment of

corbyn. thank you, mr speaker. i want to thank the prime minister for speaker.d deal that breaches the prime minister's own red lines and does not meet our six tests. the government, mr speaker, is in chaos. their deal risks leaving the country in an indefinite halfway house without a real say. when even the last brexit secretary, who theoretically at least negotiated the deal, says i cannot support the proposed deal, what faith does that give anyone else in this place or in this country? the government simply cannot put to parliament this half baked deal that both the brexit secretary and his predecessor have rejected. no deal is not a real option and the government has not seriously prepared for it. the government must publish its full legal advice and the treasury of full economic impact of the deal and an obr updated economic forecast. the withdrawal agreement is a leap in the dark, and ill—defined deal by never date. there is no mention of the prime minister's favourite term, implementation period anywhere in the 585 pages of this document. and no wonder. t

looks very bad for twenty some major labor opposition leader jeremy corbyn today asked simply why can't there be a plan b. take a listen. mr speaker ploughing on is not stoic it's an act of national self harm. instead of threatening this house with a no deal scenario or a no bricks scenario the pli prime minister now ready to prepare a plan b. something a previous says has failed to do. why can't there be a plan b. the timetable for brakes which is now very very tight theresa may has used up almost all of the two years for seeing front brakes it and we're now we're just sixteen weeks ahead of greg said john we finally got a plan jeremy who ever knew that eighteen months ago that the clock was ticking right now but he has no plan beyond that which is the whole contradiction here so essentially they will a series of different breaks it's which are essentially available to the u.k. but ultimately to reason may has positive towards this very and she wants to control immigration into the u.k. above all else and that is why britain has ended up with this deal now it's a bit contradictory from jeremy corbyn to say we need a plan

the past hour, we've heard from the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, who's been campaigning at an event in teeside — he's been giving his reaction to mrughts on the viability of the prime minister's chequers plan. it does nothing to protect very important trading and jobs for exist in the north—east and we are determined we will hold them to account so we determined we will hold them to account so we can have determined we will hold them to account so we can have a government in britain the serious about fairness and investment across the whole piece. chequers does not do any of that. after all, as the cabinet do not agree with checkers, seven cabinet do not agree with checkers, seven ministers have agreed and we have two johnsons that are at war with the checkers. a constituency voted over 60% leave and 40% of labour supporters voted to leave, 60% voted remain, surely the time now is to bring people together but the relationship we will have with europe in the future, protecting jobs, protecting the northern ireland border, about the trade relationship with what have with europe but there has to be a customs union with europe, access

corbyn. thank you, mr speaker.t does not take back control, it will not make them better off and it will not make them better off and it will not make them better off and it will not solve the economic deprivation that affects far too many communities and towns and cities across this country. this deal is not a plan for britain‘s future. so, for the good of the nation, the house has very little choice but to reject this deal. prime minister. thank you, mr speaker. just to pick up on a number of points of the right honourable gentleman made. he commented on the brexit dividend and asked where it was. we have been very clear, very clear, that we will be able to use that money that we are not sending to the european union to spend on our priorities including the national health service. there was a time when the right honourable gentleman himself talked about spending the brexit dividend on our public services. he talks about the backstop and the implementation period being the alternative, but we have written in the

jeremy corbyn said the prime minister's idea of taking back control of our money was offering the eu a blank cheque to extend the transition period. mraker, the eu's trade deal with canada took seven years to agree. the deal with singapore, eight years. the business secretary said this week the transition will have to be extended until the end of 2022. outside the eu, and with no leverage, does the prime minister think she's fooling anyone by suggesting there will be a free trade agreement finalised by december 2020? he says there's a problem with the deal and he would do it differently. he wants to negotiate, renegotiate the withdrawal agreement. but as i say, he hasn't read it. he wants to oppose any deal, to matter how good it is for the uk, but he will accept any european union deal, no matter how bad it is for the uk. and then he wants to use... he wants to use the implementation period — that he would vote against — to renegotiate the treaty that delivers the implementation period. and he said, another referendum isn't an issue for today but it could be an issue for tomorrow. he doesn't know how he'd vote, he doesn't know when
