  1. Is Corbyn walking into Brexit trap?published at 12:36 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    The SNP's Stewart Hosie suggests the PM is trying to co-opt Jeremy Corbyn as "co-owner of her Brexit failure".

    He suggests the offer of talks is a "trap" and wonders, if the boot was on the other foot, Mrs May would have been "foolish enough to accept".

    The prime minister says the British people deserve a solution to the Brexit crisis and she is working hard to achieve one.

  3. PM: Second referendum 'has been rejected'published at 12:34 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Conservative MP Phillip Lee cites some recent opinion polling, which he says showed "58% of people" want a final say on the Brexit deal.

  4. Does PM 'believe Jeremy Corbyn is fit to govern'?published at 12:33 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    There have been a number of passing references to the May-Corbyn Brexit talks later and now a Tory MP takes the subject head-on.

    David Jones asks the PM whether "she still believes the leader of opposition is not fit to govern".

    Mrs May refers the MP to the critical comments she made about Labour's economic policies in the leaders' exchanges earlier.

    Then she goes onto to highlight her and Mr Corbyn's reactions to the Salisbury poisonings last year as evidence of their ideological differences.

    She says the Labour leader chose to believe Vladimir Putin over the UK security services, a remark which prompts Mr Corbyn to shake his head.

    Labour's Owen Smith asks whether the PM will accept a customs union and a "people's vote" on the final Brexit deal, as the price for getting her agreement through the Commons.

    He says that this is what Labour will ask for in the cross-party talks later.

    Theresa May replies that there are a "number of areas" where she agrees with Jeremy Corbyn on Brexit, including the need to leave with a deal.

    She is working to find a solution which can "command the support of this House", she adds.

  7. Ex-minister 'disappoints colleagues' with non-Brexit questionpublished at 12:28 British Summer Time 3 April 2019

    Tory MP Nigel Adams rises to his feet, to loud cheers from the Conservative benches.

    Earlier this morning, he quit his job as Welsh minister in protest at the government's Brexit policy.

    He says he is "sorry to disappoint his colleagues" by focusing on another subject, as he calls for Selby railway station in his constituency to be made step-free to ensure it can be used by those with disabilities.

    In response, the PM pays tribute to the MP's hard work as a minister and says she is sorry he has stood down.

    She urges the MP to be patient, as an announcement of a new fund for access to railway station will be announced on Thursday.

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    In his sixth and final question, Jeremy Corbyn says there is no justification for rising poverty, homelessness and food bank use in the fifth-richest country in the world.

    While he hopes the two leaders will be able to resolve the Brexit deadlock, he says Theresa May's government will be "marked down as a failure" if it does not get to grips with the underlying social challenges facing the country.

    In response, the PM makes a passionate defence of her record in government and, as is typical at PMQs, says Labour would damage the economy and reduce the money available for public services.

    But Jeremy Corbyn says people were "scared" by talk during the 2017 election that the triple lock - a guarantee pensions would rise by at least 2.5% - would be scrapped and urges the PM to say it will be protected in the next Conservative manifesto.
