NEW The Prime Minister provoked gasps from both sides of the House of Commons when he made the extraordinary claim about how best to honour murdered Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox.

Boris Johnson walks out of Commons despite being asked to stay after furious grilling
This is the moment Boris Johnson walks out of the Commons despite the Speaker asking him to 'sit down'.
Speaker John Bercow confronted the Prime Minister as he was leaving the chamber and suggested he return to the front bench to hear a point of order.
Nathan Timpano tweeted: "Boris walks out of parliament despite being asked to stay by speaker COWARDS ALWAYS RUN."
One user wrote: " @BorisJohnson No class. Thank you for introducing hoodlum politics to Westminster."
Another said: "So @BorisJohnson has thrown his dolly out of the pram walks out of the chamber = SPOILT CHILD!!!!!"
Trevor Seemann added: "Final act of arrogance and contempt of Parliament from an unlawful and unworthy PM. He is a complete and utter disgrace and totally unfit for high office."
Labour conference: Delegates back call to defend EU free movement
Labour's annual conference has urged Jeremy Corbyn to include a commitment to the free movement of people in the party's next election manifesto. Labour's 2017 manifesto vowed to end free movement when the UK leaves the European Union. But delegates in Brighton have voted overwhelmingly to reject that - and to extend migrant rights in other areas.
Last Meaningful vote. 34 Tories voted against. As did 5 DUP We could be out.
The moral of today's story is that votes are not meaningful unless the government gets what it wants. Support for May's Deal Increases People who voted against the deal at Meaningful Vote 2 but for it this time include: Lucy Allan, Richard Bacon, Crispin Blunt, Conor Burns, Rehman Chishti, Simon Clarke, Damian Collins, Rosie Cooper, Robert Courts, Richard Drax, Iain Duncan Smith, Charlie Elphicke, Michael Fabricant, Sir Michael Fallon, Jim Fitzpatrick, James Gray, Chris Green, Mark Harper, Gordon Henderson, Eddie Hughes, Boris Johnson, Gareth Johnson, Daniel Kawczynski, Pauline Latham, Andrew Lewer, Ian Liddell-Grainger, Jonathan Lord, Esther McVey, Anne Main, Sheryll Murray, Tom Pursglove, Dominic Raab, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Grant Shapps, Henry Smith, Royston Smith, Bob Stewart, Ross Thomson, Michael Tomlinson, Craig Tracey, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Shailesh Vara, and John Whittingdale. Rebels 34 Tories voted against the deal, five Labour MPs backed the deal. Scorecard Analysis May's deal lost 344-286. That's a total of 58 votes, but it's closer than it may look. May needs to filp 29 votes and DUP is wavering. With that, let's tune into the Guardian Live Blog "May hints at possible need for election, saying MPs 'reaching limits' of Brexit process" to see what others suggest. I am going to hop around to highlight the key ideas, not necessarily in time order.
Bercow: 'The atmosphere in the Commons was the worst in my 22 years here'
John Bercow pleaded with MPs on all sides to tackle the "toxic" political culture as the fallout continued from Boris Johnson's combative Commons performance. The Commons Speaker said the House "did itself no credit" in the angry exchanges which followed the Prime Minister's statement last night. As MPs returned to the Commons today, Mr Bercow said: "There was an atmosphere in the chamber worse than any I've known in my 22 years in the House.

Free movement between Australia & UK? Britain 'on brink of Aussie migration & trade deal' TRADE talks between Britain and Australia are due to open this week but immigration rules might have to be eased before any deal is struck.
Australians could be given free movement to the UK after Brexit
Australians could be given the right to live and work in the UK as part of a post-Brexit trade deal. UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said freedom of movement would form part of her talks about a deal. She insisted a deal with the country could be struck within a matter of months once Britain leaves the EU. The UK government has insisted that EU citizens will lose their right to free movement to the UK after Brexit.
This was Corbyn's big opportunity to show the electorate just how good a leader he could be with an impassioned speech on the previous days court rulings.Boris was there for the taking as he was already on the back foot by the courts verdict,all he needed to do was to hammer home what the judges had started.Instead he let Boris off the hook with his weak deliverance of an instantly forgettable speech.Boris on the other hand came out fighting and reduced Corbyn to a bit part player at best,the tables had been turned,Boris relishing the encounter while Corbyn sitting like a naughty schoolboy being chastised.Yes,there were some things that could've been phrased better or not said at all.The overriding memory of yesterdays proceedings for me was Boris's passion and Corbyn's apathetic nature.On that showing Corbyn done nothing to show himself as a potential future leader,while it seems Boris's stock may have risen.
