More damning words from Louise Casey's report on what she calls Rotherham Council's failure "to accept, understand and combat the issue of child sexual exploitation" in the town. She has been on the BBC News Channel expanding on her report, which says: "The council's culture is unhealthy: bullying, sexism, suppression and misplaced 'political correctness' have cemented its failures."

Tory MP Margot James praises British health workers and armed forces personnel who are in Sierra Leone to help eradicate Ebola. She says a way should be found to help recognise their bravery. David Cameron acknowledges the difficult conditions they are working in and echoes her tributes. He announces plans to recommend to the Queen a new medal to pay tribute to their efforts. Details will be out in due course, he adds.

SNP MP Angus Robertson is called to speak, and attacks the Conservatives and Labour on Scottish devolution. He says they are not standing by the vow, and says the SNP will always put Scotland first. Responding, David Cameron says the coalition government has taken part in a massive exercise of devolution to the Scottish Parliament. He goes on a tangent and criticises hospital waiting times in Scotland, where an SNP government is in power.

Ed Miliband claims the PM has been "found out", and insists the hedge fund tax loophole should be closed to pay for the NHS. But he says David Cameron can't tackle tax avoidance because it would affect too many of his "friends". It's one rule for those at the top and another rule for everyone else, he adds.

Rotherham Council has been deemed "not fit for purpose" by a report into the grooming scandal in the borough published by Louise Casey, the head of the head of the government's Troubled Families unit.

Ed Miliband is going on the attack of Tory party donors, and asks the prime minister once again to promise to act on the stamp duty paid by hedge funds.
