Mr Johnson stands up to respond to Mr Clarke - who is sat next to the former prime minister, Theresa May, on the Tory backbenches.

"We cannot now know what the EU will do in response to the request from Parliament - I stress it wasn't my request - to ask for a delay," the prime minister says.

"I think it would still be very much in the best interests of this country and of democracy to get Brexit done by 31 October," he adds.

"I intend to press on but I'm afraid we now have to see what our EU friends will decide on our behalf."

Mr Clarke adds: "Will my right honourable friend get over his disappointment and accept that 31 October [the current deadlie for Brexit] is now Halloween.

"It is devoid of any symbolic or political content and will fade away into historical memory very rapidly."

Veteran Europhile Ken Clarke calls for the PM to act in a "reasonable and statesman-like way" and table a motion for a new and longer timetable for MPs to scrutinise his Brexit bill.

The former Conservative - who was expelled from the parliamentary party over Brexit - asks Mr Johnson: "Will he, having reflected, let us know that he's about to table a reasonable timetable motion so this House can complete the task of finalising the details of the withdrawal bill so we can move on on a basis which might begin to reunite the nation once again?"

The lorry containing 39 bodies was found in the Essex constituency of Conservative Jackie Doyle Price.

"To put 39 people in a locked metal container shows a contempt for human life which is evil," she says.

"The best thing we can do to honour their memory is to find the perpetrators."

The prime minister says he "shares her strong desire to find the perpetrators - and all those who engage in similar activities."

We know this trade is going - all such traders should be hunted down and brought to justice."

Ian Blackford's call for a general election prompted a loud response from the Tory benches.

Cheers throughout the chamber follow Mr Blackford's call for an election.

Mr Johnson replies immediately with a sarcastic quip: "What an exciting development."

He adds that the SNP's "lackadaisical" government - and pro-EU stance - is "letting Scotland down", and that he looks forwards to contesting Conservative seats with the SNP in the event of a general election.

Mr Blackford gets back to his feet for the rebuttal.

"Our Parliament doesn't matter - that's what this prime minister thinks of our government in Scotland," he says.

"Fired twice for lying, found unlawful in the courts - the prime minister has sold Scotland out time and time again," the SNP's leader in Westminster says.

"If the prime minister so desperately wants an election, Europe is willing and waiting," Mr Blackford adds.

The prime minister responds to the SNP's Ian Blackford by saying the Scottish Parliament has no role in approving the Brexit bill.

Mr Johnson says he should "have a word with other opposition parties" to trigger a general election "to settle the matter".

The SNP's leader in Westminster, Ian Blackford, reminds MPs that earlier this morning, the first ministers of Scotland and Wales (Nicola Sturgeon and Mark Drakeford) "joined forces to oppose this Tory government's damaging Brexit bill".

He says the bill damages the UK's "entire economic future".

"Will the PM stop ignoring Scotland, and confirm today that legislation will not be passed unless consent is given by the Scottish Parliament?"

Jeremy Corbyn says: "The PM unlawfully prorogued Parliament, threw Northern Ireland under the bus and ripped up protections for environmental standards and workers' rights."

"Does the PM accept that Parliament should have the necessary time to improve on this worse than terrible treaty," he asks.

Boris Johnson replies that his government will "deliver on the mandate of the people".

"This government delivers on the priorities of the British people," he adds.

"The prime minister told the House there would be no checks on good moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland," says Jeremy Corbyn.

"Yesterday the Brexit Secretary confirmed that Northern Ireland businesses would have to complete export declaration forms.

"Is the PM right or is the Brexit Secretary right?", he asks.

Boris Johnson replies: "There will be no checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain."

Is the PM or Mr Corbyn right?
