monday in parliament. hello again, and welcome to monday in parliament. she was just walking home mps pay tribute to sarah everard, as the home secretary promises to listen to women and girls. too many of us have clutched our keys in our fists in case we need to defend ourselves, and that is not ok. but there s widepread criticism of the way a vigil for sarah was policed. what happened this weekend is a reminder of what happens when police try to completely bypass the views of the communities they serve. also in this programme, fares please stand by for the age of the bus. buses are not just an industry, but they re almost like a social service and fundamentally they help us level up the country. but first, the home secretary has told mps she understands public anger over sarah everard s death, but she warned against protests while covid restrictions are in place. priti patel confirmed that she s started a review into the policing of saturday s vigil on clapha ....
on the last day of this parliament before the general election and june the 8th. coming up, condemnation from labour on the government s brexit strategy. is not the truth that, far from uniting this country, this tory government and its ministers have been dividing it since they took office? but the brexit secretary says, out in the country, there is huge support for theresa may s approach. massive respect for our prime minister, and a belief that she will deliver the best outcome in bracts in negotiations. the government faces more questions over taking child refugees, and parliament comes to a close with the traditional ceremony of pro rich in. as the last two pieces of legislation finish their passage through parliament. but first, theresa may called the election arguing she needed a strong hand in the uk s brexit negotiations. eu ministers are due to meet in luxembourg over the weekend to hammer out their final negotiating position. on wednesday, theresa may met the ....
coming up: after her brexit speech the labour leader challenges theresa may on her eu exit plan. can i urge her to stop the threats of the bargain basement brexit? i have a plan, he does not have a clue. mps demand the government do more to help a persecuted minority in myanmar. according to reports the minority group have been subject to arson, rape and murder. mps try to find out why we waste so much food. and: pretty much everyone hates theirs but could we be about to enter a new era for the passport photo? any of us can send essentially a selfie to the passport office for our passport. but first: there d been mutterings in the commons on tuesday after theresa may decided to make her big brexit speech not in the chamber but to an outside audience. so prime minister s questions was the first chance for mps to grill her directly on her 12 point plan. in her speech theresa may made clear that the uk would not stay in the single market, that mps and peers would get a v ....
thursday in parliament, our look at the best of the day in the commons and the lords. on this programme, labour describes as shameful the government s decision to wind down a scheme allowing vulnerable refugee children into britain. where does it say that instead of the 3000 that parliament debated, we will only help a tenth of that number? where does it say that when we get the chance we will somehow turn our backs once again? egging on their lordships. an snp mp encourages the house of lords to delay the brexit bill. for us it is very much a win win whatever the outcome is here because i say to their lordships, reach for these barricades and take on this government. and are they really the future? smart energy meters are criticised for not being very smart. last year, the telegraph reported that over 130,000 smart meters were now operating in this dumb mode as a result of switching. but first, the government is insisting it s not abandoning vulnerable refugee children ....
the brexit bill clears the commons and heads for the lords. plenty of democratic debate? not everyone thinks so. what is it about the procedures of this place that allow a bill of this constitutional significance to be railroaded through in this disgraceful fashion? the bill goes through unaltered. but there are concessions. a brexit minister promises that parliament will get a meaningful vote on the final eu exit deal. i can confirm that the government will bring forward a motion on the final agreement to be approved by both houses of parliament before it s concluded. also, a little local difficulty forjohn bercow, after he suggests president trump is sexist and racist and shouldn t be allowed to make an official address in westminster hall. has the speaker prompted a campaign to remove him? funnily enough i don t think there was ever not a campaign to get rid of the speaker. there s been a whole lot of tory mps, most of them in fact, who would be delighted to see him ....
