  1. Rosie Cooper thanks MPs for murder trial supportpublished at 13:25 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    There are moving scenes in the Commons as Labour's Rosie Cooper thanks colleagues for all the support she has received over the past two years.

    The Labour MP was the target of an attempted murder plot by a Neo-Nazi activist and convicted paedophile.

    She also thanks the Hope Not Hate anti-racism organisation for helping bringing the perpetrator to justice.

    In response, Commons Speaker John Bercow says the MP has shown "a level of courage and fortitude that others can only dream of".

    He says MPs will not be cowed by "fascistic bile".

    Jeremy Corbyn and Commons leader Andrea Leadsom also pay tribute to Mrs Cooper, who receives a round of applause from MPs.

  3. May pressed to make time for Liaison Committeepublished at 13:10 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    With that record PMQs now over, MPs are now raising points of order.

    Independent Group MP Sarah Wollaston expresses her frustration that the PM has not yet agreed on a date to appear before the Commons Liaison Committee, a super-committee of senior MPs, for questioning on Brexit.

    Speaker John Bercow says he understands the PM's schedule has been "busier than usual".

    But he hopes she will find time, making clear that these sessions "matter" and Dr Wollaston should "persist and persist again until she is successful".

    There's a question from Nick Boles, who dramatically quit the Conservative parliamentary party on Monday over what he called its unwillingness to compromise over Breixit.

    He says he is asking his question "sandwiched" between the Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru, which he calls a "slightly curious position".

    He asks whether she is prepared to enter talks with Jeremy Corbyn today "without the red lines that have bedeviled the Brexit process so far".

    In reply, Theresa May says she will be approaching the talks in a "constructive spirit".

  10. PM: Voters wanted to end free movementpublished at 12:57 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    The SNP's Kirsty Blackman asks the PM to "be honest about the benefits" of free movement of people from the EU.

    Free movement has been a "good thing" both economically and socially, she says.

    Theresa May replies that when people voted to leave in 2016, they were sending a "clear message that they wanted things to change".

    This included a desire to end freedom of movement and for the UK government to control who is able to come to the UK, she adds.

  11. May urged to repeat Thatcher's 'No, No, No'published at 12:56 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    Conservative MP Nigel Evans says the PM should make it "absolutely clear" that the UK will not take part in European elections.

    If EU leaders insist on this in return for a further extension to Brexit, he says the PM should say "no, no, no".

    This is a tribute to Margaret Thatcher who famously first used the phrase in October 1990 to reject plans for further European integration.

  15. Don't believe everything you read, May tells Tory MPpublished at 12:51 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Tory MP and Brexiteer Christopher Chope asks about newspaper reports this morning that 14 cabinet ministers opposed the idea of another Brexit extension at Tuesday's seven-hour meeting.

    What are the benefits of a no-deal exit, he asks the PM?

    Theresa May urges the Conservative MP "not to believe everything he reads in the newspapers" - suggesting ministers reached a collective agreement on the way forward.

    While the UK would cope with leaving without a deal, she suggests the future would be "brighter" if an agreement could be found.

    The DUP's Jim Shannon has another go at asking the PM which of Labour's Brexit policies the PM would accept to get a deal through the Commons.

    Theresa May repeats what she said earlier, that there are a number of areas on Brexit where she is in agreement with the Labour leader.

    She cites the need for a withdrawal agreement and the need to protect workers' rights as two areas of common understanding.

  20. Why is PM opposing 'clean break' from EUpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    The criticism on the Tory benches for the PM's talks with Jeremy Corbyn keeps on coming.

    Julian Lewis asks the PM why, given she repeatedly said no deal was better than a bad deal, she was now "approaching opposition parties to try and block a WTO exit" when most Tories wanted a "clean break" from the EU on 12 April.

    A number of MPs give their own answer, telling Mr Lewis, one of those to oppose the PM's deal, "because you voted against it".

    Mrs May says she still believe no deal is better than a bad deal but that her "deal was a good one".

    She thanks the many MPs who backed the withdrawal agreement with a heavy heart - but it did not pass. And that is why she is having to reach out to other parties to try and secure an orderly exit from the EU.
