Corbyn says Johnson’s government has ‘no mandate, no morals and no majority’
Corbyn ended by saying that Boris Johnson’s government had “no mandate, no morals and, as of today, no majority”.

Corbyn condemns Johnson for using ‘surrender bill’ jibe, saying UK not at war with EU
Jeremy Corbyn is responding now.

He says Boris Johnson claims to be making progress. But EU leaders say that is not the case.

He says the Conservative party’s in-house journal, the Daily Telegraph, reports today that the government views its renegotiation as a sham. (See 11.57am.)

He asks Johnson to say when the government will publish its internal planning document about the consequences of a no-deal Brexit.

Some Tories are putting their careers ahead of the national interest, he says. He refers to the leadership candidates who ruled out proroguing parliament, but who have now accepted that as an option.

And they are even refusing to commit to obeying laws passed by parliament. Can Johnson confirm he will obey any new law?

Corbyn says the attack on democracy is unconstitutional.

He condemns the rhetoric used by Johnson when he referred to a surrender bill.

We are not surrendering because we are not at war with Europe. They are our partners.

Corbyn condemns Johnson for using ‘surrender bill’ jibe, saying UK is not at war with EU.

Ken Clarke says Johnson’s strategy is to ensure EU gets as much blame as possible for no-deal Brexit

Yes… But its never been this bad since WMD’s

Trump tactics in da house…

Responding to the DUP’s Nigel Dodds , Johnson says he believes they can get rid of the backstop. “How?” MPs shout. Johnson says the shouting shows MPs do not want to get rid of it.

Britain is GREAT says lying bumbling idiot PM…

Liz Saville Roberts , the Plaid Cymru leader at Westminster, asks Johnson to agree that a no-deal Brexit would be catastrophic.

Johnson says he does not agree. He says there will be “bumps on the road”, but the UK is a great country and it can get this down.

The alternative plan, backed by Jeremy Corbyn, would force the UK to accept whatever is offered by the EU, he says.

Being GREAT WILL DO IT…muderfuders

Labour’s Jess Phillips says she has joined one of the legal challenges to the prorogation case because she does now want MPs not to have the chance to debate the domestic violence bill. Is it true senior civil servants refused to sign witness statements for this case?

Johnson says the proper processes were gone through. Domestic violence will receive proper consideration in the Queen’s speech, he says.

And it has attracted this response from Sir Nicholas Soames, who has confirmed that he will be voting with the rebels. This means, of course, that Boris Johnson will end up effectively deselected Winston Churchill’s grandson.

Letwin speaking on the floor…

Letwin says the motion today is just about allowing time for MPs to debate the bill tomorrow designed to stop a no-deal Brexit by 31 October.

He says it will be hard for the government to get a deal by 31 January - the deadline for an extension set out in the Benn bill.

But he says there is no chance of the government getting a deal by 31 October.

It’s to provide the government with the time to seek to solve this problem and to enable parliament to help to resolve an issue which has proved very difficult.

I don’t say it’s easy to do by 31 January, but I’m sure that it will not be done by 31 October. We are between a rock and a hard place, and in this instance the hard place is better than the rock. It is as simple as that. It’s decision time

If honourable members across the house want to prevent a no-deal exit on 31 October they will have the opportunity to do so if, but only if, they vote for this motion this evening. I hope they will do so.

We we all knew that the Lib Dems were assholes…
