SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford asks Mr Johnson to act to remove the threat of a "catastrophic no-deal Brexit".

Mr Johnson's reply about implementing the result of the referendum prompts a mocking response from Mr Blackford.

"We ask the questions - he's supposed to answer them."

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford asks the PM "will he respect the democratic vote of this house" if it votes for an extension to Brexit.

Mr Johnson responds by asking whether the SNP will respect "the democratic will of the people" and respect the 2016 referendum result.

"I hope no more female staff are going to be frog marched out of government" over leaks, Jeremy Corbyn says, referencing the sacking of Sajid Javid's special adviser.

"Because another government leak this week showed there would be shortages of medicine and fresh food [in the event of a no-deal Brexit].

He asks the PM to publish the Yellowhammer no-deal plans so people can see which foods and which medicines will be in short supply?

Mr Johnson dodges the question and accuses Mr Corbyn of no longer being a democrat.

Mr Corbyn steps back up to ask: "What does the prime minister have to hide?"

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn pays his respects to PC Andrew Harper who died in the line of duty, and sends his condolences to those affected by Hurricane Dorian which hit the Bahamas.

He then asks for Boris Johnson's strategy, suggesting it seems to be to run down the clock.

Mr Johnson says his negotiating strategy is to get a deal by 17 October in time for the EU summit and to "take this country out of the EU on 31 October".

He refers to Mr Corbyn's "surrender bill", saying it would wreck any chance of the talks and turns the same question on Mr Corbyn, asking what would be his strategy.

He suggests some slogans for Labour's followers

"What do we want? Dither and delay.

"When do we want it? We don't know."

Labour MPs are demanding the party leadership puts off endorsing a general election until after 31 October.

At a packed meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party this morning addressed by Sir Keir Starmer, I’m told one MP after another said the party must put off backing an election until Brexit has actually been delayed.

One MP, I’m told, said: "Johnson said had said it is Brexit do or die on 31 October. I want him to die."

MPs are confident the leadership is receptive to the idea - because of the potential to weaken Boris Johnson, forcing him to request a delay to Brexit and so break his key election promise.

But others fear Jeremy Corbyn will push for an election later this week, at the point at which the bill demanding a delay has become law.

"The Fixed Term Parliaments Act allows us to be creative, it gives us power, we have to use that now," said one MP.

One or the organisers of the cross-party talks on stopping no deal suggested others are receptive to doing whatever is necessary to ensure the demands of the bill - if passed - are implemented... and this can only happen if an election doesn’t happen before 31 October.

"We’ve got him. Johnson’s in real trouble if we don’t play his game. We force him to break his own promise, have the Brexit Party all over him, and then we take him on in an election," another MP said.

The Labour Party will not vote for a general election until the threat of a no-deal Brexit has been removed, Labour MP and shadow housing secretary John Healey tells Politics Live.

He says after the bill has been passed requiring the PM to seek an extension then "of course we want an election, we want to give the public the chance to pass judgement on 10 years of Tory failure".
