A move to ensure the government takes on board the Good Friday Agreement during Brexit negotiations is rejected by MPs.

Labour's leader denies his party is in crisis - and says Donald Trump should not visit the UK.

Politicians should concentrate on "day-to-day" issues and not be distracted by Brexit arguments, the Welsh Tory leader says.

Sixteen "unlawfully elected" councillors are still active in Tower Hamlets the London Assembly has heard.

Tower Hamlets' Mayor, John Biggs, said councillors linked to his disgraced predecessor Lutfur Rahman were "drawing expenses and participating in decisions".

He told the London Assembly's Police and Crime Committee that: "if the party they were elected under was an improper organization then something further should have happened."

In April 2015 an Electoral Court Judge removed Mr Rahman from office after he was found guilty of electoral fraud and declared the previous election void.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who was born in New York, has given up his American citizenship.

The Conservative announced he planned to hand back his US passport while he was London mayor and began the process more than a year ago. 

US government documents listing people who have given up their citizenship rights confirmed he no longer had the status.

During a trade mission to America in 2015, Mr Johnson described his dual nationality as "an accident of birth" that he planned to change, but said the process was "a laborious business". 

US laws mean that American citizens are liable to pay some taxes even if they are not resident in the country.

Mr Johnson was forced to settle an "outrageous" capital gains tax bill following the sale of a house in London ahead of his US mayoral tour. 

The previous year he had insisted he would not settle up, saying: "Why should I? I haven't lived in the United States for, you know, well, since I was five years old." 

During the joint press conference in Downing Street, Theresa May is pressed on whether there should be a second Scottish referendum.

The UK PM side-steps the question but reiterates that the Scottish people had voted to remain in the UK during the 2014 poll and the SNP had described that occasion as a "once in a generation vote".

Mrs May stresses that the UK is intensifying its discussions with the Scottish government and other devolved administrations to get the "best possible deal" for the whole of the UK to trade with and operate in the European market.

There has been "disgusting incitement" by the Palestinians, says Conservative Philip Hollobone.

However, he adds that language used by Jewish settlers has been "equally vile".

We are never going to find resolution until we deal with both sides of the argument, he argues.

He asks "what can we do other than shouting from the touchlines".

He says he is not in favour of boycotting Israeli products but wants the government to adopt "a robust method of action against Israeli government".

The Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni says the UK's decision to leave the EU did not fill the Italians with joy - but it is one they respected..

Speaking at a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Theresa May, he stresses that there is no point in the EU having a destructive relationship with the UK.

He argues that while the negotiations over Brexit "won't be easy...we need to show a constructive and friendly approach".

Mr Gentiloni says both leaders have a "very specific interest" to reassure Italians living in the UK and British people living in Italy that their rights will be respected post Brexit.

"From our point of view its fundamental to hear the message that ... the UK decided to leave the EU but this does not mean the country will leave Europe," he says.

Labour's Ian Austin accuses the motion of being one-sided and simplistic.

He says the Palestinian Authority incites violence and incentivises terrorism by paying salaries to convicted terrorists. 

Furthermore, he notes that millions have been spent on promoting terrorism rather than on building schools or hospitals. 

He also adds that 75% of Israeli settlers are on 6.3% of the land.

Joan Ryan, chair of Labour Friends of Israel, says she's opposed to the continued building of settlements which "threatens the viability of a future Palestinian state, the case for which is unarguable".

But she says that settlements are not "the only, nor the principle" barrier to peace. 

She says the biggest problem is a lack of trust on both sides. 

She says trust is not helped by an "unrelenting stream of anti-semitic incitement" from Palestinian authorities including children's TV programmes that teach hatred of Jews, the naming of streets after suicide bombers or announcements from state media that "all of Israel is occupied territory".

Foreign Affairs Committee chair Crispin Blunt says Palestinian leaders have made decisions that do not give their case the "legal and moral authority it deserves".

But, he says, we can't lose sight of the fact that "settlements are illegal under international law for a reason" and that the world has moved on from thinking you can "conquer someone's territory and colonise it".

He says that true friends of Israel should oppose their settlement policy because many people around the world see "Israel through the clouded prism of settlements".

Referencing the UK's long friendship with Israel, he says that "friends should not allow each other to make profound and damaging mistakes, which is why I support this motion".

The shadow chancellor's been talking to journalists about the Brexit bill vote and the resignation of his colleague Clive Lewis.

John McDonnell said: "It's been a tough week for us this week because a number of our people have voted to represent their constituents and I can understand that.

"But we, as the Labour Party, have to respect the referendum result and that's what we've done. The irony of it is, is that the Tories have papered over their cracks this week - if you saw George Osborne's speech he said that the fight's coming and he's going to be part of it."

He said Labour rebels would be respected because of the "difficult situation" and that Clive Lewis was "a real loss" and he was sure "he'll be back".  

The shadow chancellor said that Labour would now be "uniting around our agenda" and predicted the Conservatives would split apart.

He also dismissed stories that Mr Corbyn had set a date for his departure as leader as "fake news".

Yvette Cooper says the Dubs scheme is working and the idea that the government are "pulling the plug on it" after only six months is "shameful".

The Labour MP, a former shadow home secretary, said it "goes against the spirit of Britain doing its bit .. to help the most vulnerable refugees of all".

She says there's a "bit of a stand-off" going on between Britain and France over child refugees - with the consequence that they are heading back into the arms of people traffickers.

She said hte home secretary had done some good things but she was "baffled" and "shocked" at the decision to scale down the programme.

Jeremy Corbyn tweeted "the real fight starts now" after Wednesday night's Brexit vote and it didn't go down well online.

Remain voters tweeted the phrase back at the Labour leader - but not quite in the way he may have hoped.

They added GIFs of people punching themselves in the face, Death Stars exploding, eyes rolling. That kind of thing.

Plans to take 3,000 children fleeing from Syria have been scaled back - to 350, leading to much criticism of the government in the Commons earlier.

Conservative MP Heidi Allen told BBC Radio 4's World at One said she did not agree with the decision.

She said it was "utterly unacceptable" that the government was not prepared to go back to councils on the issue in the next financial year.

"There are an awful lot of us that are not going to let this go," she says and says she will be among MPs putting pressure on the government to reconsider.

The government says there were fears that it was encouraging people traffickers.

Hate crimes on social media are to be targeted in a £250,000 project by Cardiff University experts focusing on Brexit.

Here's a round-up of what's been making the headlines so far today:

• Jeremy Corbyn says the resignation of shadow business secretary Clive Lewis over the Brexit bill was "not a disaster"
• He dismissed as "fake news" and "absolute nonsense" suggestions that he was considering his own future as Labour leader
• And he added that Donald Trump "should not be coming to the UK", after it was announced recently that the US president had been invited to make a state visit later this year
• Downing Street is playing down a warning from a government source that the House of Lords could be abolished if peers try to block the Brexit bill
• The government's decision to end a scheme allowing vulnerable refugee children into the UK is 'shameful', Labour's Yvette Cooper has said
• But Home Secretary Amber Rudd said this was because ministers feared it was encouraging people traffickers

Labour's Chuka Umunna has clashed with former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith over whether an extra £350m a week will ever be spent on the NHS as a result of Brexit.

Mr Umunna was talking to Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 5 live Daily after the rejection of his amendment to the Article 50 bill, which would have forced the government to look at the impact of Brexit on NHS spending. 

Mr Duncan Smith said that he voted against the amendment because he didn’t want the Article 50 bill to get dragged down with debates and legal challenges.

“This whole bill is about one thing and one thing only - this bill should not be amended in any shape or form,” he said.

He added that he hoped that the extra money will be delivered, once Brexit has happened.
