  11. Gove: 'No way country can ever allow Corbyn to be PM'published at 19:02 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    Motion of No Confidence

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Michael Gove says Theresa May's leadership has been "inspirational".

    "No way can this country ever allow that man [Jeremy Corbyn] to be our prime minister," Mr Gove says.

    "When this House voted to bomb the fascists of ISIS, the leader of the Opposition was not with us," he adds, noting Jeremy Corbyn did not stand up for the UK when Putin "attacked innocent people in this country" either.

    Concluding his speech, Michael Gove questions how, "if Jeremy Corbyn cannot protect his own members of Parliament and the proud traditions of the Labour Party", he can protect the views of the House and the public.

    "This country remains the most successful country for foreign direct investment of any in Europe," he says.

    London has been found to be the best place in the world for technology investment, he adds.

    Chanel has moved from France to London, as well as Starbucks moving from The Netherlands to the UK.

    Motion of No Confidence

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Tom WatsonImage source, Hoc

    "We now face a choice, a general election to sort out this mess, or continued paralysis under this leadership," Tom Watson.

    "It was this prime minister who chose to lay down red lines which never commanded the support of Parliament," he says.

    "At every turn, she has chosen division over unity," he states.

    "[She] will forever be known as the 'nothing has changed' prime minister," he says, "she's too set in her ways, too aloof to lead."

    "Ultimately, she has failed," he says, "the country feels genuinely sorry for the prime minister, I feel sorry for the prime minister".

    He says she is not capable of getting a deal through Parliament.
