The Editor of Live Political Programmes at the BBC, @RobBurl , is now trolling me by suggesting I made up my assertion I have messages from a senior BBC journalist saying they do code negative imagery about Corbyn into their broadcasts. 1/3

Yes I noticed the CBI were distinctly unimpressed yesterday. And no surprise. Having been dragged (unwillingly I imagine) into supporting May's deal because it offered much needed stability....

Press release
£40 million personalised support package for long-term unemployed disabled people launched
Tailored support to help them overcome any personal barriers
"Personal Independence Payment covers some of the extra costs caused by long term disability or ill-health.
New guidance will ensure that people who are awarded the highest level of support under Personal Independence Payment will receive an ongoing award, with a ‘light touch’ review every 10 years so they no longer have to have their conditions re-examined."
A no-deal Brexit would be the deranged action of a rogue state

Good morfternoon.
Andrea Leadsom on Sky TV news saying that Theresa May has gone to Europe to seek assurances and "will return once she has got those assurances". Does that mean she's not coming back, then?

Corbyn's contributions in the House yesterday were good. Reading it over in Hansard, I found him coherent; many other opposition MPs were too. May was a catastrophe. So were her Tory colleagues. I don't watch or listen to these debates, not usually. Corbyn said simply and forcefully said government needed stepping aside as they are too dysfunctional.

Removal of accounting of extra costs not accounted for otherwise(ie.PIP is not an out of work benefit-the "some" is necessary in any case)They've revealed themselves in utilising the (not) double accounting ruse.

'Labour’s conference left “all options on the table”, including a second referendum and a remain vote. Nowhere in its conference motion on Brexit did it say a second referendum would be a “betrayal”. That’s the language of our opponents. We should counter it with a narrative of hope.'
A lot of people seem furious with Labour for not making a pointless grandstanding gesture that would certainly fail.

Normal day, then?
Special booby prize for the likes of Chuka for openly admitting that a VONC right now would fail, and that they actually *want* that to happen.

Ouch. Philip Hammond tells John McDonnell to vote for Brexit deal on the table at the moment. Speaker Bercow interrupts: "It's quite difficult to vote for something if there isn't a vote"

Thanks Lost Soul. It's interesting and worrying in equal measure. I'd type more but I'm actually in town doing Christmas shopping - a rarity for me, doing real shops rather than online!

Labour’s Karen Buck asks why MPs should believe him about there being a vote before 21 January when the government did not keep its word on the vote this week.
Walker says the government wants to abide by the spirit and the letter of the law.
"Wants to" or makes a binding undertaking to do so?
