Was a really dull pmqs. I thought that it was pretty flat between starmer and sunak, but the real excitement and there was something exciting came after pmqs ended. There were two points of order in the house of commons, one put down by liam byrne, whos the trade Committee Chair and one put down by lucy powell, whos the shadow leader of the commons to senior labour mps. And they both put down mps. And they both put down points of order about Kemi Badenoch. Now to some extent an badenoch. Now to some extent an impartial observer might look at these two leading labour mps putting points of order down about the business and trade secretary and thinking is this a coordinated attempt. Is this coordinated attempt. Is this a sort of gunning for her . Arent they . Theyre gunning for her. And i wonder if it has something to do with the fact that she could potentially a that she could potentially be a future conservative leader. I think thats highly , highly i think thats highly, highly likely. But course , those likely. But of course, those points of order were asking for her to correct the record over trade talks with canada and a separate one asking for documents to be released with this row over, the former head of the post office, it seems like this story will not go away. Yes, and yesterday we were talking about Prince Williams statement because out in statement because it came out in our did, did it not . Our show. It did, did it not . And we werent sure whether it was thing or a bad thing was a good thing or a bad thing for the for a future king to release a Statement Release such a statement on such a contentious issue as this current conflict. But it looks current conflict. But it looks like with israel now responding, there is potential for some kind of diplomatic rift. They of diplomatic rift. They certainly hit back a little. Um, certainly hit back a little. Um, so im wondering now and please do let us know what you think about this. Do you think it was right for the king intervene about this. Do you think it was rigsuchr the king intervene about this. Do you think it was rigsuch a he king intervene about this. Do you think it was rigsuch a way . Ng intervene about this. Do you think it was rigsuch a way . Should tervene about this. Do you think it was rigsuch a way . Should ten have in such a way . Should he have been a little more vague been a little bit more vague talking perhaps war in talking about perhaps war in general and loss of life general terms and loss of life in general terms . Because of course, there are many wars ongoing moment. Let us ongoing at the moment. Let us know think. You know what you think. Do you think Prince William right think Prince William was right to this way . Gb to intervene in this way . Gb views at gb news comm. That to after your well, that to come after your headunes. Well, that to come after your headlines. Tom headlines. Tom emily, thank you very much. Good afternoon. Its just gone 1 00. We start with the news that the labour leader pressed the Prime Minister in the commons this lunchtime on allegations that were made by the business secretary, that the former post office boss had lied about row over compensation to about a row over compensation to victims post Office Victims of the post office scandal. All that deepening scandal. All that deepening round todays prime round dominated todays Prime Ministers questions after Kemi Kemi Badenoch accused henry storton of spreading falsehoods and making up an astonishing series of claims. That was after he said the government had deliberately delayed compensation payments. Miss badenoch also said mr stauntons claims were a blatant attempt to seek revenge after he was sacked. Sir keir starmer asked rishi sunak if he backed the business secretarys claims. And i appreciate that the business secretary has put the Prime Minister in a tricky position, but but will he commit to investigating this matter properly , including whether that properly, including whether that categorical statement was correct fact . And why rather than taking those accusations seriously, she accused a whistleblower of lying . Well in response, rishi sunak insisted he is standing by his business secretary but he kept the focus on what he called the unprecedented steps that the government is taking to support victims of the scandal. People who were working hard, serving their communities , had serving their communities, had their lives and reputations destroyed, and thats why we are working hard to ensure that they get justice and compensation. Get justice and compensation. And thats why we established sir wyn williams inquiry. It is why we have already paid out over £150 million of compensation to almost 3000 victims, and its why we will introduce new legislation shortly to exonerate those. We shortly to exonerate those. We will make sure that we do what is needed, that the truth does come to light. We right the wrongs of the past and, crucially, that victims get the justice that they deserve. Justice that they deserve. To other news and a trident missile misfired and crashed into the ocean from the British Nuclear submarine hms vanguard. Nuclear submarine hms vanguard. Defence secretary grant shapps was on board when the rare test launch took place off the coast of florida, for, the ministry of defence has said it was unusual but insists the deterrent is still safe, secure and they say effective. Its the second trident missile failure for the royal navy, with each one costing around £17 million. Well, despite that misfire, conservative Mp Tobias Ellwood told gb news earlier its actually a sign of military progress. Progress. Its worth just pointing out that our Nuclear Deterrent is the backbone of our defence posture and its ability to prevent coercion or deter aggression and would also help protect our nato allies. This was part of about 190 tests that that submarine had to go through to get the green light, if you like, to the tick in the box to be able to go to sea for operations, um, and, and thats good to see it back as part of our four boat program. Teachers our four boat program. Teachers and Health Care Workers in england and wales will be legally required to report cases of child sexual abuse under new government plans. Government plans. The home secretary announced the move this morning and if staff fail to report an incident, they could face a permanent ban from working with children in. It will also mean anyone who stops someone from reporting or covers up a disclosure of child sexual abuse could face up to seven years in prison. James cleverly says it will help keep children safe, do the right thing. Thats all were saying. Do the right thing. If things are brought to your attention , then brought to your attention, then report them and we would prefer that reports happen. That can be investigated and then discussed. Investigated and then discussed. And if they are not out examples of criminality, but what weve seen sadly , is far too many seen sadly, is far too many cases where abuse was happening, where it was known to be happening and action wasnt taken. And thats what were seeking to address. To address.

Com alerts. Good afternoon britain. Its good afternoon britain. Its 1 08 and sir keir starmer is facing another rebellion from within his own party. This is a vote looms. This evening on a Gaza Ceasefire. Gaza ceasefire. Yes, labour has shifted its stance on the conflict, now insisting on an immediate yet conditional humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. Ceasefire in gaza. The party, however, is attacking the snps calls for a less conditional ceasefire as unbalanced. But how many labour unbalanced. But how many labour mps. Could rebel . Mps. Could rebel . Well, joining us now is gb news Political Correspondent, katherine forster. Well, theres a question how many mps a question how many labour mps could rebel . Could rebel . Well , dozens potentially. Well, dozens potentially. Could rebel when the snp put a similar motion forward a couple of months ago, it caused a whole world of trouble for sir keir starmer. He world of trouble for sir keir starmer. He ended up losing about eight. Uh shapps co frontbench ministers and 56 mps defied frontbench ministers and 56 mps defied his authority. So so this could be an absolute nightmare for him at that point. Of course, the death toll in gaza was a few thousand fast forward to now and its getting just a little bit shy of 30,000, according to the figures from the hamas run health ministry. So but were getting a little bit ahead of ourselves because lets not forget that we have to see what amendments the speaker of the house of commons, Lindsay Hoyle, selects. Now, weve been waiting to hear which ones theyre going to be. Um, since he had a meeting about 10 30 this morning, were expecting them to drop imminently. This morning, were expecting them to drop imminently. Several them to drop imminently. Several things could be about to happen now. The snp themselves is motion they put forward calls simply for an immediate ceasefire. Labour have put forward an amendment asking for something a bit softer , an something a bit softer, an immediate humanitarian syrian ceasefire. But its heavily caveated. Its stressing that for that to happen, both israel and hamas need to be prepared to stop fighting and that hamas need to release the hostages. So its very, very conditional. But there on, of course, the government have come along and put a spanner in the works by putting forward that own amendment which calls simply for an immediate humanitarian pause, something more temporary , which something more temporary, which would, they hope, lead to the conditions for something longer. Terme now , if sir Lindsay Hoyle terme now, if sir Lindsay Hoyle accepts the Labour Amendment, the chances are that the vast majority of labour mps will find that they can go along with that. And sir keir starmer , i that. And sir keir starmer, i imagine, will be very happy indeed. But if, as i suspect is more likely because the precedent is that usually the governments amendment would be voted on, and if that amendment is selected, that was likely to open up a whole world of trouble for sir keir starmer, because i suspect that then many labour mps would be sorely tempted to vote with the original snp. Vote with the original snp. Motion. So this could be a very, very difficult afternoon, i think. Worth saying too, that although theres all this agonising in parliament and positioning a lot of this, although this is very deeply felt by by many people on all sides of the house, and there is a lot of political game playing going on here because ultimately this is a war thats happening thousands of miles away. And whatever the snp votes for or labour votes for or whatever Parliament Says they want to happenisnt Parliament Says they want to happen isnt really going to influence Benjamin Netanyahu or the leaders of hamas. Uh, the the leaders of hamas. Uh, the only thing really thats going to seriously pressure them is the United States of america. And of course, we have a seen a real shift in their position over the previous weeks and months. Over the previous weeks and months. Originally over the previous weeks and months. Originally full square months. Originally full square behind israel, then behind the scenes stressing their need not to go further than necessary. And now really saying you must not go into rafah where of course , about 1. 5 million, um, course, about 1. 5 million, um, gazans citizens are sheltering many of them having moved from the north, having been told to evacuate. And the west united evacuate. And the west united really in thinking that that would be a disaster. And that must not happen. But however many mps vote for this amendment or that amendment this afternoon , it isnt really going to change things on the ground in gaza. Thanks, catherine. Very good to speak to you, katherine forster. There are gb news Political Correspondent really comes down to what Lindsay Hoyle, speaker, decide to do. And it does seem that there are going down to are negotiations going down to the wire over whether or not this Labour Amendment is selected. Catherine was selected. As catherine was saying, its that government amendment now really amendment now thats really tripped process up. Well tripped that process up. Well find out in the next 50 minutes or so. But lets speak to the former adviser to tony blair, john mcternan, who joins us now, and john, uh, first of all, the labour party has felt several trip ups over this issue in the past. In the past couple of weeks. Really not enough, of course, to dislodge its mighty poll lead. But there is some vulnerability here for the party. Is this why there is this now an amendment that the labour party wants to be heard, which basically says all things to all people . People . It definitely doesnt say all things to all people. Um, it comes in behind the australian government, the canadian government, the Us Government, and it says really blatantly and bluntly, its time for the killing to stop in palestine. Too many innocent civilians are being slaughtered. Its got to stop. And that, i think, is to stop. And that, i think, is the thing around which the house has. The commons should unite has. The commons should unite today. It is appalling. It nauseates me, uh , that were nauseates me, uh, that were discussing this in terms of political posturing, political point scoring, political game playing. Civilians are dying, playing. Civilians are dying, you know, in over the period of this is being discussed and debated in this commons. It could the casualties could rise in gaza to over 30,000. That is the point. The prince was making. That is the point the pubuc making. That is the point the public are making. Thats the point that labour are making. And to see the tory party and the snp turn this into some kind of political manoeuvring, its not what the country wants. The country wants to see, you know, peace in gaza, a two state solution and wants to stop the slaughter, see the slaughter, stopping. No one could disagree with a word of what youve said, but im looking at the wording of the labour motion here. It absolutely is. All things to all people. It is playing politics. It is a fantasy. It says an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, which means an immediate stop to fighting. That would lasts and is observed by all sides. The number of conditions placed on that ceasefire, it says the release of hostages, it says that hamas should stop its fighting. It should stop its fighting. It says israelis have the says that israelis have the right assurance that right to the assurance that october the 7th cant happen again. Says all of these again. It says all of these things. A huge havent things. Its a huge i havent i havent amendment this havent seen an amendment this long in many, many months. Its saying all of these things, okay, i dont i dont need your histrionic tone to get the seriousness of this. The point is, weve had ceasefires and thats the actual you know, the fundamental fact is there have been successful ceasefires and theyve been negotiated properly through the proxies. As we know, there are proxies. As we know, there are proxies hamas. We know proxies for hamas. We know theyre know theyre being talked to. We know there ceasefire. We there can be a ceasefire. We know there can be release of hostages. Where the hostages. Thats where the effort be. This this effort has to be. This this desire to go in and destroy rafah has got nothing to do with returning the hostages. Its just its just going to kill more palestinians. We want the more palestinians. We want the hostages back. We want peace , a hostages back. We want peace, a sustainable peace. We attract to a two state solution. And its going to require on all going to require calm on all parts , calm, calm in israel, but parts, calm, calm in israel, but also calm attitude in politics here and in commentary here. Because what we say has to represent our values and our vision of the future for israel and for palestine. Absolutely. But, john, what absolutely. But, john, what happens if, uh, the Labour Amendment does not get chosen by by the speaker of the house . We saw previously when there was an snp motion, ten frontbenchers on the labour side decided not to vote, decided to give up their position in the shadow cabinet. 56 other mps rebelled from labours stance. What happens this time . This time . Well, lets look in my view, um, the speaker should select the, the L
