well, in herfirst interview since those scenes in the commons last night, labour mp paula sherriff toldd towards mps" and she is asking for an apology today. i asked first if she'd been intending to make her intervention in the commons last night. i hadn't intended to speak and i just went in to listen to what the prime minister had to say, and during the course of the debate i became so frustrated by the language she was using. it was so inflammatory and i was sitting amongst many mps, many female mps, and the feelings were palpable in terms of how people felt about the language he was using, this language of surrender act, capitulation, betrayal. and i just of surrender act, capitulation, betrayal. and ijust felt like i had to get up and say something and it very much, i wrote a few notes, but it very much came from the heart. when the prime minister heard what you said, he appeared to casually dismiss your concerns about death threats by using the word humbug, which means false and deceptive. how did you respond to that? utter horror. and, to be honest, just pure disgust that this ma

labour's paula sherriff referred tojo cox, the mp murdered in 2016, as she pleaded with him to refrainhe word again. many of us in this place, subject to death threats and abuse every single day. and let me tell the prime minister that they often quote his words, surrender, betrayal, traitor. and i for one am sick of it. i think, mr speaker, i have to tell you, mr speaker, i... i have to say, mr speaker, i've never heard such humbug in all my life. well, in that fiery session last night, another mp, tracy brabin, who replaced jo cox as the mp for batley and spen after the mp was murdered, also urged the prime minister to moderate his language so — in her words — mps feel secure when going about theirjobs. in response, boris johnson said "the best way to honour the memory ofjo cox" would be "to get brexit done". well, that's prompted strong reaction online and following those exchanges last night, jo cox has been trending. the writer and journalist maya goodfellow wrote — i'm going live to the house of commons where an urgent question is being asked. genuine, heartfelt, sincerely subscr

paula sherriff: subject to death threats and abuse every single day!uch humbug in all my life! this is the language. you're a publicity whore! publicity whore, madam! this is it. politics has never been forfaint hearts. this man is an idiot. we won't tolerate this, sorry. but there was poison in the air last night. use language that is respectable, whatever your views are. reporter: primie minister, was your language in the commons yesterday appropriate? frustrated by a lack of brexit progress, the prime minister is happy to provoke. i totally deplore any threat to anybody, particularly female mps. and a lot of work is being done to stop that, and to give people the security they need. but i do think it's important that, in the house of commons, i should be able to talk about the surrender bill, the surrender act, in the way that i did. but there's fury from labour mps at that kind of talk. an encounter between a labour mp and the prime minister's advisor, dominic cummings, in parliament, was filmed by a member of the mp's team. the mp, karl turner, sa

i had to leave after paula sherriff actually because it wasjust after paula sherriff actually becausee. people were saying, stop using this term, surrender bill, it is an act of parliament and has been passed by our mps and he was doing it almost like a swear box, like he was getting rewards from dominic cummings every time he said it. he was saying it to provoke. the prime minister has said he will continue to use it. if he doesn't change, it starts from the top. thank you all for coming in and thank you for your time. still to come — why dozens of bame broadcasters have signed an open letter to the bbc, asking it to reconsider its ruling against breakfast‘s naga munchetty over comments she made about donald trump. if you're a fan of dancing on ice, stay watching, we will be exclusively revealing the next contestant to take part in a few minutes. it's five days since thomas cook went bust, leaving thousands of employees around the world without a job. many say they weren't warned that theirjobs were at risk. we have now been told exclusively that more than 100 former workers are taki

paula sherriff. issues dividing mps is what will happen if there's no new deal agreed with the eu and passed by mps by the 19th of october. under what's known as the eu withdrawal no 2 act, or the benn act, the prime minister must then write a letter to the eu asking for a delay to brexit. the government bitterly opposed this piece of legislation. and since then, borisjohnson has repeatedly said two things. first, he will obey the law, but secondly, he won't ask for a delay. mps spent an hour trying to get to the bottom of these seemingly contradictory statements. the minister said and the attorney general said and i quote, "the government will obey the law." what does that mean? can the ministerjust come to the despatch box and say that obeying the law means that the government will seek an extension to the 31st of january if the provisions of that act are not met? thank you. minister duddridge. mr speaker, i thank the honourable member for that question. in politics, we quite often get berated for

i bumped into paula sherriff today in a lift and... the mp speaking there. the mp we've just seen.oiling with anger, had loads of people coming up and sort of patting her on the shoulder, checking she was all right. and that sense today, i've spent all day over there today, of that anger still being there. and an element... it was interesting because there was a meeting of the 1922 committee. so, conservative mps all piling into a room to meet the prime minister. and we did that classic reporter thing of standing outside. holding a glass up to the wall. indeed! and there was cheers as he went in. but speaking to mps afterwards, i think quite a lot of those cheers came from the european research group of brexiteer mps, and there were other mps further back in the room who weren't cheering and were asking pretty probing questions. not least about this whole business of, if the prime minister can come back with a deal, he's going to need help, isn't he, to get it through? and he's going to have to reach out. and where does behaviour like last night, given the response it provoked, lea

labour mp paula sherriff is with me — who challenged borisjohnson to moderate his language in parliamentempers were frayed and it has to be said, you are pretty angry at yourself. i had not intended to speak during that debate but it became evident that the prime minister was continuing to use the pejorative yet deliberate language he had been using for some time now. i asked the prime minister to moderate his language. i explained that essentially words have consequences and explained that many of us, especially female mps, on all sides of the house, are experiencing death threats and daily abuse, and much of that abuse was actually quoting the words used by the prime minister. unfortunately, his response was that he had never heard such a humbug in his life. which was, obviously, quite disgusting. to disperse bond to a female mp who is clearly quite passionate or emotional —— to respond to a female mp and talking about threat, in light of what has happened, to our female mps, especially fairly recently, and to suggest it was humbug, i think, recently, and to suggest it was humbug, ithi

particularly his response to my colleague paula sherriff, which ijust thought response to my colleague she direct that atjess phillips. look, i think everybody needs to moderate their language, compromise is not a dirty word. we needin compromise is not a dirty word. we need in a particular hung parliament, we need sensible moderate pragmatic mps to work together but the prime minister has together but the prime minister has to help us by leading by example. he sets the tone and when he uses that sort of aggressive rhetoric i think it doesn't help the chances of us building a cross—party compromise and, my goodness, british politics needs to rediscover compromise. i think we have got this toxic balloon which is brexit and we got to take the air out of that bloom for the best way to do that is to leave the european union with a deal. that's the position i stood on in the 2017 ma nifesto the position i stood on in the 2017 manifesto and i think labour should stick to its guns on that. the prime minister needs to do lots of hard work in brussels to get the deal he can bring back to parlia

word humbug and dismissed those fears as what he was saying is the word attributed to him by paula sherriffes will tell us they want us to focus on, police, hospitals, gp surgeries, transport, that is what we are desperately trying to do. james cleverly, appreciate your time this morning, standing in the rain rose as well on the balcony. chairman of the conservative party, james cleverly. it is 7:28. we are reflecting on all that is going on in politics. sometimes music has the ability to calm things down a little bit. also to add to the emotions as well. we are celebrating that today. we have so many big names. craig david, professor green, he will be doing the weather. random but fun. find out what is happening where you are this morning. see you soon. good morning from bbc london. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced new measures to help reduce violence in prisons. the programme, which will start at two london prisons, will involve gang—screening as well as an increased police presence. there will also be more support for mental health. assaults in prisons reached a record high

labour's paula sherriff referred tojo cox, the mp murdered in 2016, as she pleaded with him to refrain taking the time to talk to us today. you have obviously had a little time now to reflect on what was said in the house of commons yesterday evening, to listen to the reaction to all of that, and i wonder what your thoughts are this lunchtime. good morning. i watched thoughts are this lunchtime. good morning. iwatched parliament thoughts are this lunchtime. good morning. i watched parliament tv for four hours last night, mesmerised, asi four hours last night, mesmerised, as i think lots of people were, and upset, obviously, on a very personal level. my reflections really are that we all need to take a step back andi that we all need to take a step back and i hope last night is actually a turning point where we can do this, to think about the way that we speak to think about the way that we speak to each other, to think about the language we use, and the tone of that language as well. we have to make a way forward through a challenging situation in modern times. the way to do that i thi
