labourmps are said paragraph on the front page, says labour mps are said to be in despair over mr corbyn'stempt on monday, the no—confidence vote on mrs may's leadership. it remains to be seen... it seems astounding to some of us who've been watching the politics of this nation for a generation and more that according to the polls, if you ever believe any polls these days, the conservatives are still ahead of labour after everything that's happened. eventually you do think that question will come back to mr corbyn's door. it was interesting listening back on tv and on radio as well, the thing that struck myself and a lot of people with this was the anger you could hear with the women who stood up could hear with the women who stood up in parliament and spoke, it was very clear in their voices and it came across, didn't it? yes, i think that's right. and the concern is, of course... and the anger was directed, yes, at mr corbyn, whatever he did or did not save. personally i don't have a view on that. it's that general discussion, isn't it? allowed the anger was also directed at the speaker.

mr. corbyn: we are edging ever closer to the 29th of march adline without a deal and without even an agreedande cato get a deal. this, mr. speaker, is aal constiturisis, and the prime minister is the architect of it. laura k.: the timetable has made plenty on all sides cross. >> the meaningful vote on her deal before the christmas recess. there is no reason to delay. let us have a meaningful vote thes week. >> i hy do not think that businesses and employers and our constituents will understand why this house is going on holiday in two weeks when we should be having the meaningful vote this week. >> is it a reality that e is -- given the reality that she is not acting in the national interest, but in her personal interest, and neither her party nor the country will forgive he . >> she were to go along to the eu now and tell them in the face of intransigence to get stuffed, ethe british people would right behind her. heura k.: after a couple of hours, you can seerime ministers slipping out on the left. she might have thought today's haranguing was over. but just before 6:00, he was up again.

you have to accept what mr corbyn says that he did not say what he is alleged to have said.nary, becausejeremy alleged to have said. but it is extraordinary, because jeremy corbyn was accused of lying to parliament over hisjibe aimed at theresa may. some of us have memories going back to 2011... was there not a man called david cameron? there was a man called or became leader of the labour party and he said, "i'm going to change prime ministers questions, and i'm going to quote from an e—mail... she is concerned about this or that or the other thing." what happened? i don't think we have to a cce pt what happened? i don't think we have to accept the labour leader at his word. he denies it. people will watch that clip over and over again it. people will watch that clip over and overagain and it. people will watch that clip over and over again and come to a conclusion for themselves, but i think even if you do think he says stupid people, this is not the nicer, kind of politics that we have all been promised us that he has a responsibility to set a better example. i think too

this is the moment mr corbyn made the announcement in the house of commons.o, mr speaker, as the only way i can think of of ensuring a vote ta kes pla ce can think of of ensuring a vote takes place this week, i'm about to table a motion which says the following. that this house has no confidence in the prime minister... due to herfailure confidence in the prime minister... due to her failure to allow the house of commons to have a meaningful vote straightaway on the withdrawal agreement and framework for future relationships between the uk and the european union. that will be tabled immediately, mr speaker. thank you. that was in the last hour 01’ so. let's talk to our political correspondent ben wright at westminster. we can all be forgiven for watching that, thinking what is going on? is this possible? how does it work? i'm sure you have the answers. it sounds like a dramatic piece of political theatre jeremy corbyn was like a dramatic piece of political theatrejeremy corbyn was producing. in fact, it is a fairly meaningless motion in many ways. calling for

that is what some brexiteers are really pushing mrs may to do. corbynrliament early, jeremy corbyn thinking that they should not have such a long christmas recess. yes, it is a shame he has decided to say this now, rather than saying a few weeks ago because it seems like it would be rather difficult to move the parliamentary timetable at such short notice and i think a bit of a problem here is it smacks of a situation we have a divided party on one hand, with the tories, but also a divided opposition at the same time, and this, given that they know the mathematics of a no—confidence vote in mrs may's leadership is not stack up, this seems a bit of a week reached towards trying to gain some sort of upper hand or some momentum, some oomph from the labour side in this wider brexit debate, but i think the idea of centre calling parliament back a week earlier as though it will suddenly change the narrative is a tough sell. yeah, the vote due to take place at the beginning of the week of the 1a. vote due to take place at the beginning of the week of the 14. w

mr corbyn had previously claimed he preferred a bid from itv, however the prime minister said she wanted they want to be part of any brexit tv debate. the united states has announced that it's reached an agreement on trade with china after talks at the g20 summit in argentina. president trump met with chinese leader xi jinping and confirmed he will not carry out threats to raise tariffs on chinese goods from 10—25% china's foreign minister said it opened up what he called "win—win co—operation". theresa may has backed the metropolitan police over their controversial new tactics for stopping moped—riding criminals. scotland yard last week released dramatic footage showing police vehicles knocking suspects off their scooters. the prime minister said that a "robust" response was needed to what she described as a growing problem of people using the vehicles to commit crimes such as bag and phone—snatching. lesbian, gay, bisexualand trans people are becoming trapped in abusive relationships because they say that the police don't take them seriously, that's according to a bbc investigation. on

but there is, in the eyes of many labour folk, another reason why mr corbyn is holding back, in thatidence motion and it was lost, then the only remaining option for mr corbyn would be to back another referendum, because he would have tried a no—confidence vote, he would have told mrs may to go back to brussels, she is a ready done that. there's not much else he could do. in other words he'd be forced into the corner and having to back another referendum, which he is anxious to avoid. good to speak to, norman, thank you. new laws to better protect agency workers and people on zero—hours contracts will be set out by the government today. the business secretary, greg clark, says the reforms are the biggest upgrade to workers' rights in more than a generation. it will guarantee that employees are informed of their pay and eligibility for maternity, paternity and sick leave on the first day at a newjob. the tuc say the rules won't shift the balance of power in the gig economy. the secretary for business, energy and industrial strategy, greg clark, spoke to bbc breakfast a little earlier

at prime minister's questions, the labour leader jeremy corbyn used his six questions not to ask mrsefeat inflicted on her government or about the impending brexit both, instead he raised changes to the welfare system. child poverty is rising, homelessness rising! destitution rising! household debt rising! when will the prime minister turn her warm words into action? end the benefit freeze, repeal the bedroom tax, scrap the two child cap, and hold the roll—out of universal credit. what we see under this government, implement is rising, we are giving the nhs the single biggest cash boost, taxes are being cut and wages are rising, labour would destroy all that. it's this conservative government that is building a brighter future for our country. the former foreign secretary boris johnson has made a full and unreserved apology to mps for failing to declare more than £52,000 in income. he was ordered to apologize by the committee on standards over his late declaration of book royalty payments. i fully accept the delay was a breach of the house but those ——house's rules and i'm grateful t

downing street accused mr corbyn of making a silly demand and being intent on frustrating brexit.ble to make phone calls from their cells under government plans to tackle violence and re—offending. the measure aims to boost rehabilitation by helping inmates maintainfamily ties, tackle the flow of illegal mobiles and reduce tension on wings. currently, in—cell phones are installed in 20 prisons in england and wales. all calls are recorded and can only be made to a small number of preapproved numbers. one of the things that helped reduce reoffending is maintaining family ties. and i think it is really important that we allow prisoners the opportunity to maintain those family ties, maintain links with their loved ones, because when they are released, those relationships are released, those relationships are going to be really important in keeping them on the straight and narrow. it is 6011am. have you seen these fabulous pictures from new york? they are unbelievable. so, you think it is a science fiction film. it's aquaman, right? it could be, turned upside down! it caused confusion

and two, mr corbyn, john mcdonnell, the labour front bench, they are not in the market to help out andr the hill to rescue the prime minister? the chances of any time soon minister? the chances of any time soon getting a cross—party consensus to bypass the brexiteers, that looks dodgy. you are then forced back basically into our old friend the fear factor. can you so terrify mps with the prospect of no deal that at the end of the day they buckle? that is another option but it is a high—risk option, and given the way eve ryo ne high—risk option, and given the way everyone is so entrenched, it is not even clear that it would work. the big problem of how to break the deadlock over the deal still remains. enough from me. deadlock over the deal still remains. enoughfrom me. let's deadlock over the deal still remains. enough from me. let's get a news summary remains. enough from me. let's get a news summary with annita mcveigh. the prime minister is travelling to brussels this morning, after winning a vote of confidence in her leadership. theresa may is hoping eu leaders will give her legall

in a video released by the labour party, mr corbyn says his party is ready to deliver a radical but faireri'd like to wish everyone a very happy new year. there is so much talent across britain but we are being held back by a system that for too long has only served a privileged few. now the conservatives have plunged the country into crisis, over the complete mess they have made of brexit, trying to drive through a bad deal and letting people down all across the country, whether they voted leave or remain. eight years of damaging tory failure has left us with a divided country where millions are struggling to make ends meet. where so many can't afford a home to call their own. where older people are deprived of the dignity they deserve, and far too many are working low paid and insecure jobs. we cannot go on like this. labour is ready to deliver a radical alternative, to rebuild and transform our country. we will stand up to the powerful few so that the wealth you create is shared fairly, not hoarded by a privileged elite. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, used her message to sa

one of mr corbyn's critics on the labour benches was also unhappy.ery unhappy with the way her majesty's government have been conducting themselves aren't frustrated that we have not seen the tabling of this house has no confidence in her majesty pass mike government. is it possible for a backbench mp to table a motion of no confidence in her majesty's opposition, given the mess they have made of tabling motion of no confidence? confusing even their own backbenchers, between a motion no confidence in the prime minister and the government. a massive shambles of the entire process. two motions of no confidence, one in the government, and one on that lot over there. we are seeking to bring forward a motion of confidence in the prime minister with the objective of bringing forward the meaningful vote on the eu withdrawal bill, to hold the prime minister to account for failure. so, the prime minister avoided possible censure. but the speaker had already granted an emergency debate on her brexit discussions at last week's eu summit, in response to a reques

mr corbyn stopped short of calling for a full motion of no—confidence in the government, which couldn. if it is a move is to pressure rise to reader may to bring forward the mp‘s delayed vote on her brexit deal. she sets out a timetable motion that was agreed and it should have been voted on last week. she suspended the debate and now has refused to have a vote this week and out it appears to have the vote about a month from now. it is unacceptable and we are demanding that the vote ta ke and we are demanding that the vote take place this week and set down the terms of our motion in exactly those terms that every member of the house can understand that it is supporting the principle of having a vote. that is jeremy vote. that isjeremy corbyn, the leader of the opposition, the labour party. we have the managing director of the european bank and development. give us european bank and development. give us your take on what was a symbolic move on the part ofjeremy corbyn, but it seems to have no teeth? i think this is not going very far and we are hearing already that the ha rd and we ar

for a vote of no—confidence in the prime minister, downing street has said, try the government, mr corbyny. the idea of calling a vote of no—confidence in the prime minister is a ridiculous waste of parliamentary time. the government quite rightly is saying, well, if you want to call a vote of no—confidence, do it properly. call a vote of no—confidence in the government, that has meaning in terms of the fixed terms parliament act and the government is confident it will win anyway. the last thing we need at the moment is any more political turmoil, we've actually got to get things sorted. don't you thinkjeremy corbyn is trying to make a point? he knows we will be chatting about this tonight and on other news channels and it will hit the headlines tomorrow, rather than him playing silly games, he wants to make a point that theresa may has lost control of her own party and brexit. it's a waste of time. i've thought for a long time labour will have a vote of no confidence, they've been discussing it and clearly labour couldn't agree on a strategy. barry gardiner was on television a couple of

at least half a dozen amendments have been tabled, one by mr corbyn, another by hillary benn, who chairstee on exiting the european union. i imagine both of those will be selected. just to make life more confusing for those viewing, those amendments are taken before the main motion, so the house first decides if it wants to amend the motion and then votes on the main motion, either amended or unamended. there will be several votes, and if you are watching these votes, what should you be looking out for to give a clue of what is going on? again, it is quite hard for the outsider. at the end, the tellers on each side appoint two members to count the votes, one counts their own votes and the other goes into the other lobbied to count the opposing votes, so one from each side in each lobby. and they come back in and one of the tellers for the winning side reads out the numbers. so if you recognise the people concerned you can get a clue and obviously the members can when one of the tellers step forward to read out the score. there will be lots of cheering and waving of order papers before ge

continuing with the panto theme, the guardian also reports mr corbyn's denial with the headline "oh nohe labour leader's comments. speaking to the bbc radio 4's today programme, the shadow home secretary, diane abbott, defended mr corbyn. i've knownjeremy a long time. he's a very honest man, and if he has anything to say sorry for, he will always say sorry. do you think he is sexist? come on, let's get on something serious. diane chuckles. well, is he... you say that's not serious, but that's what he said about anti—semitism. he said, "what people think they thought me... what people think they heard me say, they didn't really hear me say", and here he is, doing it again. no, no, it isn't that, at all. it was end—of—term behaviour by the tories. hold on, some of your own mps, diane abbott, tweeted that they thoughtjeremy corbyn was out of order. well, again... stella creasy, one of your own mps, said it was the wrong behaviour. well, stella, too, could not have either heard or seen what the leader of the opposition said under his breath. shortly after prime minister's questions yesterd
