  14. Labour leader to May: Stop running away from Brexitpublished at 12:21 British Summer Time 12 October 2016

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Jeremy Corbyn says it's time the govenment stopped running away from concerns over Brexit, claiming it was offering no clarity, transparency or scrutiny of the process.

    He adds that jobs are at stake, the pound is plummeting, people are worrying and yet Mrs May "won't give answers".

    The PM said unlike Mr Corbyn she was optimistic about the prospects of Britain pro-Brexit and how the economy will grow outside the EU.

    She accused the shadow foreign secretary of wanting a second vote on Brexit, and joking about Mr Corbyn's re-election, added: "You can ask the same question again, you still get the answer you don't want."

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Continuing on the Brexit theme, Jeremy Corbyn asks the prime minister what reassurances she can give to workers today over their future, their company and their jobs.

    Mrs May says the Labour leader doesn't seem to get that the UK will leave the European Union.

    Mr Corbyn asked if Mrs May was prepared to risk "a shambolic Tory Brexit to appease the people behind her".

    Mrs May says the Tory manifesto pledged a referendum, and following the result they would negotiate the right deal for the UK and its companies.

  17. Theresa May is asked if single market membership is a red linepublished at 12:18 British Summer Time 12 October 2016

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Mrs May says people who come to this country to use the NHS should pay for those services if they are supposed to - as she defends the eligibility checks being proposed in hospitals. The checks would not be needed if it's an emergency, she adds.

    Turning to Brexit, Mr Corbyn asks if being in the single market is a red line for the government.

    Mrs May says he's asked this before, and says the government wants to get the best deal possible with maximum access for British firms to trade with and within the European market, but adds the government believes it should deliver on what the referendum showed the British people wanted - control of the free movement of people.

    Prime Minister Theresa May congratulates Jeremy Corbyn for being re-elected as Labour leader.

    Answering his question about foreign workers, Mrs May says there are no plans for companies to publish lists.

    Mr Corbyn replied that he was very grateful to the 350,000 people who voted for him to become leader of my party - rather more than those that voted for Mrs May, he adds.
