Brought to you as a Public Service by your cable or satellite provider. After voting to block the note deal brexit, the house of commons debated on whether to hold a special general election on october 15. Speaker the house of commons has passed a bill devised the leader of the opposition who is not in his place. He is characteristically evasive. It is a bill that effectively ends the negotiations. A bill that demands an extension at least until next year and perhaps for many more years to come. The bill insist britain acquiesced to the demands of brussels and hand control to our partners. It is a bill designed to overturn the biggest democratic vote in our history. It is therefore a bill without precedent in the history of this house. Seeking as it does to force the Prime Minister with a to surrenderetter in international negotiations. Speaker to do this mr. And it is clear that there is therefore the house has voted repeatedly to leave the eu. Tohas also voted repeatedly delay leaving. It has voted for negotiations and today i am afraid it has voted to stop any serious negotiations. [mps shouting] means is that theiament [mps shouting] right honorable gentleman who leads the opposition is still not in his place mr. Speaker. I really dont know where he is. Give battle or at least engage in argument tonight. The right] i am gladtleman he has now favored the house with his presence. The right honorable gentleman amongst its other functions is to take away the right of this ntry to decide how long the eu. I am afraid it is time, thats what it does. Is time for this country to decide whether that is right. The country must now decide whether the leader of the opposition or i go to this negotiations in brussels on the 17th of october two sort this out. Know thaterybody will if the right honorable gentleman were to go there to be the Prime Minister he would beg for an extension. He would accept whatever brussels demands and we would then have years more delay yet more arguments over brexit and no resolution to the uncertainty. Thatone knows by contrast if i am Prime Minister, i will go to brussels and i will try to the deal that i know i can. If they wont do a deal i think it would be eminently sensible for them to do so, and i believe that they will. Then under any circumstances this country will leave the eu on october 31. Mr. Speaker it is completely impossible for the government to function at the house of commons refuses to pass anything the government proposes. In my view and the view of this government there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of october and i invite the right honorable gentleman to respond to decide which of us goes to the crucial council on thursday the 17th of october. I think it is very sad that and he said voted like this. If i am still Prime Minister i think its a great dereliction of the democratic duty. If im still Prime Minister after tuesday the 15th of october, then we will leave on the 31st of october with i hope a much better deal. The leader of the opposition has a question to answer. He has demanded an election for two years while blocking brexit. He said he would support an election. Not parliament having passed a bill that destroys the ability of the government to negotiate, is he now going to say that the public cannot be allowed an election to decide which of us sort out this mess . I dont want an election. The public doesnt want an election. This house has left no other option than letting the public decide who they want us Prime Minister and i commend this motion to the house. The question is that there shall be an early parliamentary general election. I call jeremy corbyn. You, mr. Speaker. This is the second time i have replied to a conservative Prime Minister seeking to dissolve parliament to call an election because they didnt have a deliverable brexit policy. Although i am not condemning the right honorable member by her successorto she at least me details speeches laying out her brexit policy even if we dont fundamentally disagree with them. This Prime Minister claims he has a strategy. What it is. Ll it the big problem for him is that he has until the eu what it is either. The Prime Ministers question time today as with the segment yesterday, he was unable to say whether he has even made any proposals whatsoever to the eu. It is basically a policy that is cloaked in mystery like the emperors new clothes. There is absolutely nothing there. The naked truth is that the reality is deeply unpalatable. A disastrous no deal brexit to take us into the arms of a trade deal with donald trump that will put America First in britain a distant second. The Prime Minister knows there is no mandate for no deal. No majority support within the country and no majority for it in this house. The chance of the duchy of lancaster, the coconveners [indiscernible] said in march this year we did not vote to leave without a deal did even the leaders [mps shouting] even the leaders of the leave the campaign are absolutely clear that the referendum concerns no mandate for no deal. No deal isng] opposed by every business group, industry body, trade union, and ofthis house as todays votes and others have shown. Mr. Speaker, we want an election [indiscernible] [mps shouting] does the opposition what a general election . You obviously didnt hear what i just said. I was about to point out before i was interrupted that the offer of the election today is a bit apple tooffer of an snow white. It is the poison of a no deal. I repeat what i said last night, let this bill passed. Gain royal assent. Then we want an election so we dont get out with a no deal brexit. It is the antidemocratic instinct of this government that causes concern. Despite the expressed will of the house, to support the bill debated today the conservative pictures their colleagues in the lords have tabled 92 amendments for debate. Motivatedoubt this is by a desire to improve the legislation not a bit of it but to filibuster it. And undemocratic cobalt and demonstrate in downing street along with undemocratic house to override the democratic will of this house expressed in the bill that we have just given a third reading too. If they cant win the argument, they tried to shut down debate. We heard the] Prime Minister deciding to a Ue Parliament in August August and today he wants to dissolve parliament to shut down scrutiny. He cannot tell you he cannot Party Dissent in his own and is extraordinarily expelled 21 of his own mps who voted against him last night. The have august the of this process is a phenomenal. From a Prime Minister who twice voted against the prime red aers brexit plan general election isnt a plaything for a Prime Minister. Two dutch scrutiny or renege on commitment. He has committed to renegotiate brexit create where is it . Where is the plan . Where are the proposals . If he has a brexit plan, be it no deal or the new mystery toposal, deal that we get see any information of, then he should put it before the public in a public vote or he had a a general election and see a mandate for it. What the Prime Minister go to brussels tomorrow and ask for an extension so he can seek a mandate for his unknown exit plan and put it before the people. The truth mr. Speaker is that this motion from the Prime Minister is about playing a disingenuous game. I look forward to the day his government and his party and all the austerity and misery are turned out of office and we prevent leaving this country crashing out on the 31st of october with all the damage. And he knows because he has already seen the damage life andit will do to job prospects in this country. It is a cynical movement from a cynical Prime Minister. I will be brief. Thank you for encouraging me. At the deep distress of everyone waiting to have an important note. I found these exchanges quite predictable they have been well rehearsed. I do think the Prime Minister with a great disrespect has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face while he is being so disingenuous. The fact is he is now desperate to have an election in order to bring this house as proceedings to an end and to have the general election clearly before october 31. He is obviously going to campaign on the basis that he has been thwarted in getting an amazing beneficial view of this country which is actually being flogged by wicked continental politicians. [indiscernible] who have no sense of the true Natural National interest which is rejecting him in power. It is wrong to say that the opposition to have is trying to reverse the referendum. Of thoserge percentage who have been defeating him in the last two days are prepared to vote for brexit. They voted for brexit more often than he has. He caused delay in march and he caused delay in april. We now have a bill which is the beginning of a pathway to actually give us more time but grownup sensible changes. The idea that on the European Union that they are refusing as because they think are going to trap us in permanently is nonsense. They are desperate to get a deal. Of course they are desperate but not so desperate that they are going to accept terms that will cause chaos in Northern Ireland and it will shatter the normal rules which holds together the Single Market and the Customs Union upon which they are based. The Prime Minister has thrown down dramatic conditions which he must know make any sensible negotiations pointless unless he changes his direction. He is now Prime Minister. He is now a responsible i urgeian [mps shouting] in one last time to stop treating all of this as a game and to actually get a serious resolution seems possible problems to look after the future goodwill of this country proper no doubt different relationship with our partners on the con that and in particular keeping our economic and trading relationships intact. They are essential for the future of our children and grandchildren. [cheering] thank you, mr. Speaker. Can i congratulate with all my heart the right honorable member [indiscernible] who i have to say as he has done on many occasions spoken with great cents. I have to say to the Prime Minister i will give you a piece of family advice. [indiscernible] mr. Speaker, where having this debate tonight quite simply because the Prime Minister has been defeated. Thats the reality. My question to the Prime Minister is this house is supposed to be solvent and his eyes. Housept the will of this or except the bill the parliament has passed. Accept your duty is Prime Minister and go to the European Council on the 17th of october and negotiate the extension. Speaker, yet again this government has been defeated by a majority of the house of commons against a no deal brexit create the passage of the bill tonight to block no deal is a victory not just for democracy but yes for common sense. I pay tribute to the members of parliament across these benches who work tirelessly to build consensus from this legislation to pass and remove the catastrophe. Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister should not be talking about surrender. He should be congratulating members of parliament that have stood up on alomar National Interests. Accuse Prime Minister to parliamentarians of surrender is simply it simply lacked dignity. Mr. Speaker, no parliament has once again displayed as well the Prime Minister must show respect for democracy and agree to abide to the will of parliament on a bill blocking no deal. If you wish to intervene rather than shouting at me i will [indiscernible] ive been] listening to the honorable gentleman with great care. The one thing he doesnt say in all of this is the reason he has voted tonight for this bill is because he cant he and his party are adamantly opposed to ever delivering brexit. Admit on his feet and that is his purpose and that is the purpose of this bill . My habits mr. Speaker i think it is quite clear that if anyone reads the bill what its about. It is about removing the cliff edge of the 31st of october and yes we have worked with colleagues right around this house with a spirit of consensus but yes of course i wish to stop exit. Brexit. I say this to the right honorable gentleman that we will look work with everyone here but i have a responsibility with my colleagues to stop this government dragging scotland out [indiscernible] [cheering] the message to the Prime Minister you respect democracy in scotland and will you respect that scotland has voted to remain . Speaker, it is the s ps desire to avoid no deal. That is why we have been working hard for the past two years to avoid no deal. We have voted consistently against no deal. We have supported the process in march to avoid no deal. It now we are doing the same with this bill. Would he give way . I welcome the honorable members confirmation tonight that the right honorable members confirmation tonight that he will along with ourselves the Labour Party Vote against the government but if the government continues to pursue this reckless no deal policy, will he continue to work with us to block any attempt to take us off the cliff edge against no parliament . Because we have a responsibility to stop that disaster of no deal. I have been working with leaders of other parties to ensure that the bill passes tonight. To protecte together the lives of the people across the u and our livelihood is the absolute authority of this parliament. It is important mr. Speaker that we keep working together. Mr. Speaker, no one voted for a no deal brexit. Papernt on the ballot and the Prime Minister needs to wake up to that reality. Perhaps you might have to start listening to the debate rather than chatting to the chancellor if you dont mind. It is important that no brexit [indiscernible] the democracy over the coming days. It wont work. Lords should not under any circumstances kill the protections in legislation. The Prime Minister should quit gameplaying stones. As np oneoff offer them. Is Scottish National party ready for a national election. We are ready to break down the tory government and give scotland the chance to stop intent tosignal our stop a no deal brexit. [indiscernible] house wey to this would do our duty to protect all of us from a no deal brexit. The same time, this house should respect the sovereignty of the scottish people and their right to be able to determine our own future. I note that he noted last time the lack of enthusiasm from scottish conservatives. [laughter] if she cant stomach the Prime Minister then why should scotland . My honorable friend is quite right and i look forward to is we challenges standing take it to those constituents over the coming weeks and make sure those constituents have the opportunity for a front row seat. Mr. Speaker, most of this debate has been about democracy. It is about the abuse of power by a government seeking to shut down parliament. This house must respect the Scottish Parliament and in particular, the mandate that Scottish Government has for a referendum. [cheering] it is scotlands right to do this. Not the right of the Prime Minister or any other of westminster. To tell scotland that our votes do not matter. We cannot determine when scotland votes. Mr. Speaker, and election is coming. I invite scotland to send a message to westminster is scotlands right to choose. Is set tohat the snp win a majority of westminster seat in the election. It make no mistake we relish an election. We want to stop brexit for good. We want to stop the tories, to stop this Prime Minister and most importantly, we want to give the people their choice to decide their own future. However mr. Speaker, we will not be party to the Prime Ministers game and allow the Prime Minister to use an election to force a no deal brexit through the back door. Cannotlunt, the snp support this notion motion tonight because we do not support the Prime Minister. [indiscernible] miss content for democracy and his governments broken promises to the people of scotland, we cannot trust that he will although this bill to pass and remove the cliff edge. The other opposition parties, tonight we will vote and give the Prime Minister the opportunity to ring in a no deal through the back door. We cannot allow a government that is lost that does not command the house that has [indiscernible] for one moreoffice day longer than is necessary. At the Prime Minister is going to shut this parliament down so he can spend four weeks running the clock down. We could instead use that time to run him out of office. Blocked, deal has been and his across this house on the opposition benches should come together to bring down the government. Only the Prime Ministers terms but on the right terms. Mr. Speaker, time is of the f essence. In the next two days in order to remove the cliff edge and to remove the shamble irresponsible and confident tory government from office. Speaker, i think
