but the two snp mps, drew hendry and david linden, there is a bit of a to do now.y went on twitter straightaway and said this is all politics. didn't say they hadn't been drinking. but they did deny being drunk which is the central allegation. that's right and they have stayed on the trip and i think we can have a look at the picture of the armed forces parliamentary group out there on their trip to gibraltar. they get to put on combat fatigues which, i knew about these things but i didn't realise they got to kind of dress up and i don't say that in a dismissive sense but they are not members of the armed forces and itjust seemed a bit weird. it is a slightly unusual thing, but it is a serious scheme and from talking to people about this trip, there was a real sense that, among others, real outrage because it is a serious thing. this is an important trip, on the time around armistice day, so for this kind of palaver to go on has really got some people's necks up. but as you said, surprise surprise, it has turned into a bit of a political row and even the first mini

what then of the two snp mps? these are drew hendry and david linden.eful attempt ljy it was a pretty disgraceful attempt by the conservatives to try to distract attention from the behaviour of conservative mps that we have been reporting in the last week or so. that despite the account of these witnesses. incidentally, they have not denied drinking, just denied being drunk. tonight ben wallace has written to the leaders of the snp and labour at westminster and to the commons speaker saying their behaviour and drinking was unacceptable and must not happen again. unacceptable and must not happen aaain. , unacceptable and must not happen a.ain_ , unacceptable and must not happen aaain. , ., ,, unacceptable and must not happen aain. , . ~' the husband of the detained british iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, says he says he is "stuck in the same status quo" after meeting officials at the foreign office. quo" after meeting officials richard ratcliffe — who is on day 19 of a hunger strike — said the meeting had been quite depressing, giving him no ne

ian blackford, on behalf of the snp and plaid cymru.t's where we're going to leave our coverage of events at the cenotaph in london — but if you're in the uk you can carry on watching by switching to bbc one. as we've been hearing, on sunday morning buckingham palace confirmed that the queen would not attend today's remembrance day service at the cenotaph. the announcement was made public at a quarter past nine here in the uk — just over an hour before the event started to get under way. the palace said the queen has sprained her back, and took the decision with great regret this morning. our royal correspondentjonny dymond is at the cenotaph. it's what one palace official describes as incredibly unfortunate timing, and that is bad timing on two fronts. primarily because it is remembrance sunday, it is a national service of remembrance here in the uk. it's the most important day in the royal calendar, the day when the royal family in general, and the queen in particular, pays tribute to those who laid down their lives for their country.
