mr. doyle: i ask unanimous consent to speak for one minute. to ren. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. speaker, i rise to inform my colleagues of the death of brian shaw. a brave young police officer who was recently killed in the line of duty in my district on november 17. what began as a routine traffic stop turned into a pursuit on foot and an exchange of gunfire that left officer shaw mortally wounded. brian was just 25 years old when he was murdered doing the job he loved. he was a universally loved and respected member of his community. he was well liked and respected by his fellow officers. his life was brutally cut short. but there is no denying it was a life well lived. brian was a graduate of burro gh school, slippery rock university, and the allegheny county police training academy. he served as a police officer in chezz wick, frazier, spring dale township before joining the police department this june. friends have said he always wanted to be a police officer. brian said he became a p

mr. doyle: i rise in opposition to this terrible bill. many of my colleagues have called it a scam and they are absolutely right. supporters of this bill has said everyone gets a tax cut. that's not true, millions of americans get a tax increase, more and more each year. supporters of this bill have called it a middle-class tax cut. that's not true, the lion's share of the money go to corporation and those making 100 million or more. and what this bill gives to the middle class in one happened takes it away with the other with devastating consequences with households with medical costs, student loans or state and local taxes. supporters claim it will keep companies from moving jobs from overseas and create new jobs, raise wages for american workers. that's not true. while this bill cuts corporate tax rates, it creates new incentives for shipping our jobs abroad. and does anyone really believe that tax cuts for corporations or the rich will trickle down to the rest of us? it didn't work in the reagan administration, it didn't work in the b

doyle, bbc news. let's get the latest from our political correspondent chris mason. a little dark where you are at the moment but how much hot water is mron this one? it's deeply awkward for the foreign secretary. there he was in parliament answering questions, inadvertently it would appear he has in a throwaway remark potentially caused a real problem. so we can expect mrjohnson, as we we re so we can expect mrjohnson, as we were hearing from keith there, to try and emphasise to his iranian counterpart that this was purely a family visit, that there wasn't any pursuit of journalism family visit, that there wasn't any pursuit ofjournalism in the context of this visit. but of course, given how tricky the diplomacy has been so far in this case and how little headway in its managed to make, these comments have been seized on in tehran and so to an extent it's a damage limitation exercise for mr johnson now. there will be pressure i think from labour, we've also already seen criticism from emily thornbury, the shadow foreign secretary, suggesting mrjohnson and the foreign office have been sufficiently interested in this case and that if her
