Parliament is about to re-sit... Not sure if it will be shown on BBC Parliament because they're currently broadcasting the Labour Party conference and may have some sort of obligation to keep doing so. But we can know MPs are back at work anyway.
Can watch it on Parliament TV...
Looks like BBC Parliament will cut to it too. (They never broadcast the prayers at the start).
Benches filling nicely... And we're off!
John Bercow: "Welcome back, colleagues, to our place of work." (loud cheers)

He said the record will be amended to record the House as "adjourned".
Big thanks to the staff of the House who've have to put everything back to order at less than 24H notice so that MPs can work again.
Reminder there's no #PMQs because of notification requirements (min 3 days notice of questions).

FYI. About to start: a debate about the toxicity of the atmosphere and language of Parliament, based on an Urgent Question.
Should be noted the Government have fielded a minister, rather than Boris Johnson, even though the question was largely prompted by his behavour yesterday.
Kevin Foster is the chap batting for the Government.

John Bercow: "I think there is a widespread feeling in the House and beyond that yesterday the House did itself no favours." He's making a special announcement before HOC business starts.
"It ought to be possible to disagree agreeably."
"I can advise the House there will be an urgent question later today on the matter. This is not a party political issue."

There have been a huge number of suggestions that Brexit is all about dodging tax avoidance measures the EU is introducing. Quite honestly when you dig into it further, that doesn't appear to hold up. The UK government is implementing them all.

And an in-depth analysis like this one indicates that we have most of the required changes up and running in domestic law already.

Plus remember that the other EU countries aren't leaving. So the measures will apply to them, even if they don't to the UK. That would make the kind of tax arrangements where UK companies are domiciled in Luxembourg or Ireland (for example) impossible, regardless of what we do.

You mean social democracy 👇
👆Whether the #Labour party was calling itself a socialist or social democrat party in 1945 isn't the point. The real point is that all of the social reforms & plans achieved then, and which the #Tories would love to eradicate now, were achieveable under the idea of social 1/2
2/2 democracy, without the need for the further-left idea of socialism. Any desire to yank the #Labour party further left than it was in 1945 is purely idealogical and is solely because of #Labour having been taken over by far-left entryist ideologues & extremists.

Deselection Express
@DeselectNow
The logical fallacies of people is astounding, literally just had someone tell me: Corbyn made the #Labour party swing to the left because he influences policy...

The fact is this: Labour members made the party go left and elected a left leader. Not the other way around.
All these people want to blame Corbyn for anything they possibly can, even if what they say doesn't make any logical sense, and they are so keen to blame him, they don't even realise it makes no sense.
Is the reason I want people deselected because Corbyn set a magic spell and made me want that? No of course not. Its because I am left wing anyway and we make the party greater by removing those who don't work for the people.

Recently Ellie Reeves #Labour MP was reportedly facing a vote of "No Confidence" and "Deselection" @elliereeves received a lot of support from Jess Phillips, Tom Watson etc. No motion was tabled with her CLP so the furore over a pregnant Labour MP being deselected was nonsense.
So let us move on about 1 week from this bogus story to the equally spurious #PanoramaHatchetJob about #Labour and #Antisemitism The usual suspects showed their sham horror of the apparent problems in Labour. #TomWatson #jessphillips
Tom Watson belittled, harangued, bullied and called into question the reliability and fitness of @JennieGenSec to act as General Secretary. Some might question my point on reliability etc. But the image I have attached which Watson and Phillips promote does exactly that.

1. I don't really pay much attention to #Labour Twitter. It;s not really saying anything worth my time. The right of the party are all Blairite remainers who I've always hated since they embody the worst of left wing paternalism and snobbery. Thread...
2. The left of the party however, is a shitshow of hipster communists and gobby younglings who know fuck all about nine tenths of anything, pushing a socialist agenda they don't understand much less comprehend the implications of it.
3. Then as I understand it, their fondness for Brexit is based on some half understood notions about competition rules and state aid - but in actuality they couldn't give a toss about Brexit. They're just at war with the FBPE morons since they attack Corbyn. Purely tribal.

I Voted Remain 🇪🇺 #FBPE #ABTV #WATON
@IVotedRemainEU
(Thread) To all @UKLabour candidates in the upcoming May local elections:

Unfortunately I will not be able to vote for you as a representative of the Labour Party; this is despite having been a #Labour voter myself in the past. Please allow me to explain briefly my reasons why.
After the sacking of Owen Smith, I cannot vote for @UKLabour in any shape or form at the moment due to Jeremy Corybn's approach towards #Brexit which I view as highly undemocratic and contradictory to what the Labour party is meant to stand for ("for the many, not the few"?).
The attitude towards #Brexit by @jeremycorbyn and other hardcore Brexiteers like him really is now bordering on the fascist, something I find deeply disturbing. It seems that dissenters are being crushed.
