  3. 'Little has changed' since Grenfell firepublished at 12:22 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Mr Corbyn says 10,000 firefighter jobs have been cut since 2010, and while Mrs May claimed action on Grenfell as part of her legacy when she announced her resignation, "little has changed" since the fire.

    He asks whether on the third anniversary the government will be able to say "with conviction" it will never happen again?

    Mrs May says all 201 households affected were offered alternative accommodation in the aftermath of the fire and 184 have accepted.

    We also set up immediately a public inquiry, she says, adding: "I expect a future government to act on the results of that."

  4. Labour leader asks about fire service fundingpublished at 12:19 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Jeremy Corbyn highlights cuts to fire service funding, adding: "You can't keep people safe on the cheap."

    He asks whether the government will pledge to increase funding the fire service and the number of staff.

    Theresa May replies that the Tories' "balanced approach" to the economy means more money can be put into public services.

  5. Corbyn: Will the government strengthen tenants' rights?published at 12:18 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Mr Corbyn asks, two years on from the Grenfell tragedy, "when will we see government legislation to strengthen tenants' rights?"

    Mrs May replies that it is "truly shocking" Grenfell residents were raising concerns and "their voice was not heard".

    That is why she initiated work looking at social housing to find out how to change that.

    "This is something I believe should be done," she says.

    "We want to ensure that in future social tenants' voices will be heard."

  6. Corbyn asks for deadline on retro-fitting of sprinklerspublished at 12:16 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Jeremy Corbyn again asks whether cladding replacement works will be done before the end of the year - saying at the current rate, it will take three years just to do social housing.

    He also asks Mrs May to set a deadline for the retro-fitting of sprinklers in tower blocks, saying only 32 out of 837 council blocks have them at the moment.

    The prime minister picks Mr Corbyn up on something he said about a report into the 2009 Lakanal House fire in London - saying retro-fitting of sprinklers was not explicitly recommended.

    She adds that sprinklers have not been retro-fitted by a number of Labour councils.

  8. May's cladding response 'no comfort'published at 12:13 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Jeremy Corbyn says Theresa May's reponse is "no comfort to the 60,000 people living in high rise tower blocks" with this sort of cladding.

    "They are worried," he tells PMQs.

    He asks the PM to set an end of year deadline to replace all the cladding and to toughen up powers for councils to levy fines on private landlords who don't do enough.

    Mrs May says all affected buildings in the social sector have been visited by firefighters to make sure they are safe.

    And the government is fully funding the removal of unsafe cladding, she adds.

  9. Corbyn demands answers on claddingpublished at 12:11 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Ahead of his first question, Jeremy Corbyn also marks the attack on the Finsbury Park mosque in 2017, as well as the two-year anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.

    He asks why 328 high-rise buildings in the UK still have "Grenfell-style" cladding on them.

    Theresa May replies that she set up the public inquiry "within days", to find out "exactly what went wrong".

    The PM says the government will fully fund the replacement of buildings with unsafe cladding, adding that private building owners have not been doing enough.

  13. Is Labour set to change its Brexit position?published at 12:04 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    BBC Politics Live
    BBC2's lunchtime political programme

    Labour MP Tracy Brabin is asked whether her party is about to change its position on Brexit.

    "It looks like it," Ms Brabin says, telling Politics Live there will be discussions "later this afternoon".

    She says the party will be "strengthening our position", adding: "I think that clarity is good."

    There are certainly rumours that such a move is in the offing - many MPs have been calling for the party to get rid of the nuance and throw its weight behind another referendum and a firmly Remain position.

    During last night's TV debate, Sajid Javid encouraged all of his rivals to commit to an external inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia.

    Asked about that a short time ago, Dominic Raab said: “I’m not sure we’re saying we’ve got a problem, but clearly amongst a broad and grassroot membership you’re going to have people saying wacky things, offensive things, and I think we need to make sure we’ve got a system in place that shows we’ve got zero tolerance for anything that is inappropriate or offensive.”

  20. Scheming and plottingpublished at 11:55 British Summer Time 19 June 2019

    Assistant political editor

    PMQs is most likely to be a bit of a damp squib. Expect to see plenty of empty green benches because everything is now overshadowed by the leadership contest.

    Many MPs will be elsewhere in Westminster scheming and plotting about how they can mount some kind of challenge to Boris Johnson.
