'Follow the British example'published at 14.25
France’s far-right National Front has called on the government in Paris to “follow the British example” and allow a referendum on whether France should stay at the heart of the EU.
“The British government has done it: UK citizens will be consulted by the end of 2017 (perhaps even in 2016) on whether or not their country should stay in the EU. With this referendum, the UK appears in a position of strength to demand real improvements," FN vice-president Florian Philippot says.

House of Commons
ParliamentFormer Public Accounts Committee chair Margaret Hodge condemns the government's Immigration Bill.
As with many Labour MPs in the House, she criticises the government's pledge to cut net migration to the tens of thousands. They will "fail to deliver on that ambition", she says.

You can wave your order papers, shout until you are purple in the face, hurl abuse across the Chamber, join in with frankly weird displays of mass groaning or that elongated "hear, hear" thing they do.
But try joining your party comrades in a sincere appreciation of a point well made in the traditional way and you will have Speaker John Bercow on his feet telling you to respect the traditions of the House.
