:00:08. > :00:10.Hello and welcome to our look back at the day here at Westminster.
:00:11. > :00:13.Coming up in the next half hour: Opposition MPs have another go
:00:14. > :00:15.at persuading the Government to suspended implementing
:00:16. > :00:31.All of this, Mr Speaker, is reason to pause Universal Credit roll out.
:00:32. > :00:34.The Foreign Office updates the Commons on the latest situation
:00:35. > :00:39.now that the So-called Islamic State group has been forced out.
:00:40. > :00:43.And MPs hear about new challenges for our police force.
:00:44. > :00:49.Having seen this and been out of my own staff, in seems increasingly
:00:50. > :00:51.like uniform social work rather than policing.
:00:52. > :00:55.Last week we saw the highly unusual spectacle of a Government defeat
:00:56. > :01:01.The vote was on pausing the implementation of
:01:02. > :01:03.the new Universal Credit benefit system, though it wasn't binding.
:01:04. > :01:05.Conservative MPs were ordered by their party to abstain.
:01:06. > :01:08.Afterwards, opposition MPs condemned the Government,
:01:09. > :01:11.saying ministers were reducing the Commons to a talking shop.
:01:12. > :01:17.In the absence of a ministerial statement, the Speaker permitted
:01:18. > :01:20.an emergency debate on the roll-out of Universal Credit.
:01:21. > :01:23.And there was quite a lot of anger on the opposition benches.
:01:24. > :01:26.In Wallasey, the roll-out will begin halfway through November.
:01:27. > :01:37.The DWP will not be open on Christmas Day, which
:01:38. > :01:40.means many of my constituents will have to wait until the New Year for
:01:41. > :01:44.Which is why our local food bank is looking to
:01:45. > :01:49.collect 15 tonnes of extra food to deal with the demand.
:01:50. > :01:54.Does she agree with me that it's time this
:01:55. > :01:56.Parliament listened and the Government listened
:01:57. > :01:58.to what Parliament is saying and acted to alleviate
:01:59. > :02:05.On December 13, when the scheme rolls out in Swansea, I am
:02:06. > :02:12.anticipating mayhem for far too many vulnerable people.
:02:13. > :02:14.It doesn't take a mathematician to work out that if
:02:15. > :02:17.you transfer 12 days before Christmas and the payments take
:02:18. > :02:19.between 35 and 42 days to appear in your bank account,
:02:20. > :02:22.there are going to be a lot of Swansea residents in
:02:23. > :02:24.dire straits at the worst possible time.
:02:25. > :02:33.All of this, Mr Speaker, is reason for the Government to respect
:02:34. > :02:42.This country's elected representatives and pause universal
:02:43. > :02:45.I stand ready to work with them in the
:02:46. > :02:47.national interest to address these issues
:02:48. > :02:48.and avert a disaster that is
:02:49. > :02:49.The decision of whether or not to vote as a matter
:02:50. > :02:52.The decision of whether or not to vote is a matter
:02:53. > :02:56.As you noted last week, it is a legitimate one to take.
:02:57. > :03:00.Universal Credit was fully legislated for in
:03:01. > :03:02.the welfare reformat 2012 and its subsequent SIs
:03:03. > :03:07.and was subsequently debated by Parliament.
:03:08. > :03:09.I just want to ask the Minister, if he
:03:10. > :03:13.thought we had such a good debate last week, why did his party abstain
:03:14. > :03:20.Well, Mr Speaker, I'm going to come to many of the things
:03:21. > :03:25.As I said, it is legitimate as a decision
:03:26. > :03:28.to vote, or otherwise, in such a debate, but there is much to take
:03:29. > :03:32.It was a very high-quality session of this house.
:03:33. > :03:40.Strong leadership would have seen action last week, strong
:03:41. > :03:42.leadership would have accepted the parliamentary arithmetic,
:03:43. > :03:44.would have accepted the mood of the house and
:03:45. > :03:47.our constituents and would have accepted it needed to act.
:03:48. > :03:51.Last week, we saw the desperate weakness
:03:52. > :03:53.of a Government unwilling to defend its flagship
:03:54. > :03:57.Social Security policy in the lobbies.
:03:58. > :04:01.In what must be a near unprecedented scenario, they
:04:02. > :04:04.If the Labour Party truly believe what
:04:05. > :04:09.they were saying, that they do indeed support the principle of
:04:10. > :04:14.Universal Credit, they would be working with Government to make sure
:04:15. > :04:23.Rather than scaremongering and trying to
:04:24. > :04:25.block the good reform to our benefit system.
:04:26. > :04:28.We also need to, I believe, change the six-week period.
:04:29. > :04:30.It is a very substantial period, it isn't in
:04:31. > :04:33.the spirit, it's not in the values of Universal Credit.
:04:34. > :04:35.It ought to be that four-week period.
:04:36. > :04:40.So I think the Government is demonstrating it is listening and
:04:41. > :04:42.a key part of that has been the introduction
:04:43. > :04:47.I don't want the roll-out to be stopped, but for it to go on,
:04:48. > :04:56.It was in January 2014 that the So-called
:04:57. > :04:58.Islamic State group, or Daesh, seized control
:04:59. > :05:04.Declaring the city to be its capital, IS embarked
:05:05. > :05:06.on a campaign of violence and brutality against
:05:07. > :05:09.Later that year, America launched air strikes.
:05:10. > :05:15.The UK followed suit once Parliament had approved military intervention,
:05:16. > :05:19.after a fierce debate in the Commons.
:05:20. > :05:21.Now, nearly four year later, IS has been forced out of Raqqa.
:05:22. > :05:27.The Minister's statement was instigated by a Labour MP.
:05:28. > :05:30.He asked what the next steps would be to defeat IS and the evil
:05:31. > :05:35.Raqqa was officially liberated on the 20th of October.
:05:36. > :05:37.The Syrian Democratic forces supported by the
:05:38. > :05:39.global coalition against Daesh began operations to liberate Raqqa in June
:05:40. > :05:42.Military operations are ongoing, the liberation of Raqqa
:05:43. > :05:45.this month follows significant Daesh territorial losses in Iraq,
:05:46. > :05:48.Daesh has now lost over 90% of its territory it once
:05:49. > :05:57.The Minister's statement was instigated by a Labour MP.
:05:58. > :06:00.You will recall that in November 2015, the then Prime Minister, David
:06:01. > :06:05.Cameron, made the case for the liberation of Raqqa,
:06:06. > :06:07.which has now been achieved, as central to endorse
:06:08. > :06:14.which had been taking place in Syria since that point.
:06:15. > :06:17.He asked what the next steps would be to defeat IS and the evil
:06:18. > :06:26.The minister himself as always been assiduous on this matter.
:06:27. > :06:33.I do say to the Government that their failure to offer a
:06:34. > :06:35.statement to this house following the liberation, not only does it
:06:36. > :06:38.suggest a lack of respect for Parliament and the British people on
:06:39. > :06:41.whom we were asked to make the decision to send the Royal air
:06:42. > :06:55.force into a theatre of combat, but also
:06:56. > :06:58.there is a worried that it suggests a complacency and lack of it which
:06:59. > :07:01.has too often been the hallmark of the aftermath of the Government on
:07:02. > :07:04.both colours in attempting to maintain stability in the region
:07:05. > :07:07.The Minister reassured him that the Foreign Secretary would be
:07:08. > :07:10.making a full statement shortly but, in the meantime, he told MPs
:07:11. > :07:21.In terms of stabilisation, in immediate terms we
:07:22. > :07:23.have stepped up by humanitarian support, Secretary of State
:07:24. > :07:29.announced an additional ?17 million and ordered to restore crippled
:07:30. > :07:31.health facilities deliver much-needed medical
:07:32. > :07:33.support and relief and crucially to clear lethal landmines
:07:34. > :07:36.and explosives because in leaving the city, Daesh have left a reminder
:07:37. > :07:39.Let me thank the Minister for his opening remarks.
:07:40. > :07:42.I wholeheartedly agree with his sentiments and for
:07:43. > :07:47.once we are in union that the victory against Daesh
:07:48. > :07:49.in Raqqa is a vital blow against an evil death
:07:50. > :07:52.cult and it makes a mockery of their pretensions to establish caliphate
:07:53. > :07:56.It shows them to be the weaklings and the cowards
:07:57. > :07:59.Will be Minister agree with me that British jihadists
:08:00. > :08:04.need also to be captured where possible and tried for the heinous
:08:05. > :08:07.war crimes, some of which can only be faced in international Crown
:08:08. > :08:14.Things such as genocide for the whole were to
:08:15. > :08:17.witness, rather than, and I quote, the only way
:08:18. > :08:20.witness, rather than, and I quote, the only way of dealing with them
:08:21. > :08:24.This of course will only fuel IS recruitment.
:08:25. > :08:26.To make it very clear, is the Defence Secretary said
:08:27. > :08:29.on the 12th of October, those who go to Syria put
:08:30. > :08:33.Those who go to Syria to take action against
:08:34. > :08:36.and the United Kingdom's interests put themselves in particular danger.
:08:37. > :08:38.And if they are involved in conflict or
:08:39. > :08:41.they are involved in planning actions which will take the lives of
:08:42. > :08:43.British systems, they run the risk of being killed themselves.
:08:44. > :08:48.Of course, those who surrender to forces, those in the area, must
:08:49. > :08:51.expect to be treated by the laws of armed conflict and be treated
:08:52. > :08:56.properly and humanely in terms of being brought to justice.
:08:57. > :08:58.Those who return to the United Kingdom, as
:08:59. > :08:59.indicated earlier, but also been questioned
:09:00. > :09:00.about their activity and
:09:01. > :09:03.I welcome the news that Raqqa has been liberated
:09:04. > :09:15.Especially Paradise Square that the terrorists carried out
:09:16. > :09:18.I want to thank the Minister for all the work that
:09:19. > :09:21.he has done in securing a UN resolution to locate and prosecute
:09:22. > :09:28.Some members of this house received and continue to receive
:09:29. > :09:31.considerable abuse for the decisions that we took back in November 2015
:09:32. > :09:33.to support the extension of the RAF mission to Syria.
:09:34. > :09:35.Does the liberation of Raqqa and this
:09:36. > :09:43.considerable setback to Daesh show that we were absolutely right?
:09:44. > :09:45.The Minister agreed, saying that the Commons decision
:09:46. > :09:46.to support air strikes was the right one.
:09:47. > :09:49.You are watching Tuesday in Parliament, with me, Mandy Baker.
:09:50. > :09:51.If you want to catch up with all the news
:09:52. > :09:54.from Westminster on the go, don't forget our sister programme,
:09:55. > :09:56.Today in Parliament, is available as a download
:09:57. > :10:05.The European Council President, Donald Tusk, has described the UK's
:10:06. > :10:07.departure from the EU as the toughest stress test.
:10:08. > :10:12.Addressing the European Parliament he told MEPs that if EU failed that
:10:13. > :10:23.test, it would be a defeat for Brussels.
:10:24. > :10:29.Suggestions of hope for a deal are just not good enough.
:10:30. > :10:31.The Chancellor knows the economic perils our country faces
:10:32. > :10:37.He described it rightfully as a worst-case scenario.
:10:38. > :10:40.Can I urge him in the interests of our country to have the courage
:10:41. > :10:47.of his convictions, stand up and face down his opponents
:10:48. > :10:50.in Cabinet and confirm today that like us, he will not support or vote
:10:51. > :10:58.Mr Speaker, as the honourable gentleman very well knows,
:10:59. > :11:01.our clear objective, our priority, is to achieve a deal
:11:02. > :11:09.Our preference would be for a deal that gives a comprehensive trade,
:11:10. > :11:12.investment and security partnership between the UK and the
:11:13. > :11:18.And as part of such a deal we will seek an implementation phase
:11:19. > :11:23.that gives British businesses and indeed government agencies
:11:24. > :11:25.proper time to prepare for the new circumstances
:11:26. > :11:30.Can I just say if he cannot stand up to his opponents
:11:31. > :11:33.on a no deal Brexit, can he please stand up
:11:34. > :11:35.to them on the issue of the transition period?
:11:36. > :11:38.Business leaders yesterday made it clear that they need the certainty
:11:39. > :11:43.now that there will be a sensible transition period.
:11:44. > :11:45.And yet the Prime Minister yesterday sowed more
:11:46. > :11:48.confusion in her statement, giving the impression
:11:49. > :11:51.that the transition is to be negotiated only after we have
:11:52. > :11:54.settled on what she described as the future partnership
:11:55. > :11:58.Businesses cannot wait, they need to plan now.
:11:59. > :12:05.If the Prime Minister is not willing to stand up to the reckless
:12:06. > :12:07.Brexiteers in her party, will the Chancellor make it clear
:12:08. > :12:12.in the way the Prime Minister failed to do yesterday,
:12:13. > :12:14.and as business leaders have been calling for,
:12:15. > :12:16.we need the principles of any transition confirmed
:12:17. > :12:26.Mr Speaker, the honourable gentleman is correct to say that this matter
:12:27. > :12:35.And that is why we were so pleased that last week
:12:36. > :12:38.at the European Council the 27 agreed to start internal preparatory
:12:39. > :12:39.discussions in relation to an implementation period.
:12:40. > :12:42.And I'm confident that we will be able to give businesses
:12:43. > :12:44.the confidence and the certainty that they need.
:12:45. > :12:48.Can I urge the Chancellor to reject the representations we have just
:12:49. > :13:02.heard from the Shadow Chancellor, would he not agree with me
:13:03. > :13:04.that you cannot agree a price until you know
:13:05. > :13:08.And only a fool would write out a blank cheque of taxpayers money.
:13:09. > :13:10.My honourable friend is absolutely right,
:13:11. > :13:12.we should not be giving away our negotiating position
:13:13. > :13:15.when we are going into one of the most important negotiations
:13:16. > :13:16.this country has ever been involved in.
:13:17. > :13:19.And that is why we need to make sure we are prepared
:13:20. > :13:23.The Chancellor in his efforts to secure a good Brexit deal
:13:24. > :13:25.and transition period, has the confidence and support not
:13:26. > :13:28.only of right honourable members of this side of the House
:13:29. > :13:29.but across the whole of British businesses.
:13:30. > :13:31.And that includes of course businesses in Broxstow.
:13:32. > :13:33.Unlike the party opposite which inspires complete fear
:13:34. > :13:35.with their Marxist mayhem which they would put
:13:36. > :13:39.into policy if they were elected into government.
:13:40. > :13:46.But could my right honourable friend confirm that it really
:13:47. > :13:49.is in the best interests of British business to secure a transition
:13:50. > :13:54.Would he agree to make sure that he will do all he can to get
:13:55. > :13:59.Yes, Mr Speaker, British business has make clear that it wants
:14:00. > :14:01.the earliest possible certainty about the implementation
:14:02. > :14:10.And it has also made very clear that it doesn't want
:14:11. > :14:15.Now, there's always a considerable police presence in the Palace
:14:16. > :14:18.of Westminster, but today one committee room boasted no fewer
:14:19. > :14:21.than four chief constables and an assistant commissioner.
:14:22. > :14:24.The Home Affairs Committee was gathering evidence on its enquiry
:14:25. > :14:31.One of the questions was whether the pressure
:14:32. > :14:35.on resources was making it harder to stop volume of crimes increasing.
:14:36. > :14:39.What is the kind of tipping point that says at one point would be
:14:40. > :14:42.the stress indicators that start to say service is kind of at a level
:14:43. > :14:49.And, you know, I often use the kind of boiling of the frog analogy.
:14:50. > :14:52.The water is starting to feel quite hot this summer and I think
:14:53. > :14:55.there is a kind of real stretch in the last 18 months,
:14:56. > :14:57.I think, that the service hasn't felt or other
:14:58. > :15:01.I think different forces kind of experience this in different ways.
:15:02. > :15:03.And there is a kind of stretch here that feels more
:15:04. > :15:09.Do you think you are at the tipping point now?
:15:10. > :15:12.I have kind of used the analogy of there are some red lights
:15:13. > :15:15.Is there anything else in terms of you know,
:15:16. > :15:17.when you have considered the statements you have to make,
:15:18. > :15:20.the 2% pay rise for officers recently announced and all the other
:15:21. > :15:23.pressures, is there any other budget pressures that you haven't mentioned
:15:24. > :15:27.that you foresee coming down the line?
:15:28. > :15:29.I think one of the areas that causes me concern
:15:30. > :15:32.is what is happening to our local authorities.
:15:33. > :15:34.And the pressures that they are under because of austerity.
:15:35. > :15:36.And therefore any neighbourhood -based services that they are
:15:37. > :15:40.providing also being at risk so we are seeing things like youth
:15:41. > :15:43.offending teams being looked at, their own preventative arrangements
:15:44. > :15:52.I think that is a very real concern for me.
:15:53. > :15:56.We also recognise in West Yorkshire for example, 83% of my time in terms
:15:57. > :16:02.of delivering services is not about crime.
:16:03. > :16:10.I would agree about the issue around partners, I'm currently averaging
:16:11. > :16:11.in a force the size of Staffordshire, 13
:16:12. > :16:15.16 calls for service for mental health.
:16:16. > :16:19.Issues called into the control room where we are deemed to be the most
:16:20. > :16:22.I don't think that always turns out to be the case.
:16:23. > :16:25.So those pressures on the public sector across the piece mean
:16:26. > :16:27.that we are sometimes involved in things that perhaps
:16:28. > :16:32.I have previously described it at times, it feels increasingly
:16:33. > :16:45.Peers have called for the murder of a journalist in Malta to be
:16:46. > :16:48.Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb
:16:49. > :16:53.In recent blog posts, the journalist had accused senior

:17:01. > :17:03.My Lords, the UK is looking to identify how best that we can
:17:04. > :17:08.We have not received any requests for UK officers to support
:17:09. > :17:14.the investigation into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
:17:15. > :17:16.Should a request be received, the government would
:17:17. > :17:21.My Lords, the United Kingdom has a very historic relationship
:17:22. > :17:24.with Malta which is of course a member of the Commonwealth.
:17:25. > :17:29.After her murder, Miss Galizia's son said, and I quote,
:17:30. > :17:31.the state in Malta has become indistinguishable
:17:32. > :17:38.She was of course investigating corruption at the highest level,
:17:39. > :17:41.probably involving the Mafia, who may have been the

:17:50. > :17:54...For all of Europe that the rule of law is observed and seem to be
:17:55. > :18:07.My Noble Friend is absolutely right that we have a long-standing
:18:08. > :18:11.And we have offered some initial advice to the Maltese
:18:12. > :18:13.and we are considering with them how to support the investigation
:18:14. > :18:25.Malta is one of four countries including us whose system
:18:26. > :18:29.They are also party to the European Convention on Human Rights.
:18:30. > :18:33.This extraordinary, courageous investigative journalist wrote
:18:34. > :18:35.articles accusing the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition
:18:36. > :18:42.In those circumstances will the government please remind
:18:43. > :18:44.Malta of its obligations under the European Convention
:18:45. > :18:46.on Human Rights to hold a truly independent
:18:47. > :18:59.My Lords, I hope that an effective investigation will be
:19:00. > :19:07.And of course we will encourage that to happen.
:19:08. > :19:11.But the point that the Noble Lord makes about journalists being free
:19:12. > :19:16.to express their views on what they perceive as wrongdoing
:19:17. > :19:19.in their country should absolutely be preserved.
:19:20. > :19:22.The state may not like it, but we really welcome
:19:23. > :19:45.My Lords, in asking this question, I would like to pay tribute
:19:46. > :19:49.to Daphne Caruana Galizia for her courage as a generalist.
:19:50. > :19:53.I had the privilege and until recently of having her son
:19:54. > :19:55.Paul working with me at the Legatum Institute.
:19:56. > :19:58.Only one in seven people in this world lives in a nation
:19:59. > :20:02.And my question for my Noble Friend the Minister is what steps is this
:20:03. > :20:05.country, where we do enjoy freedom of the press, taking
:20:06. > :20:07.to preserve our own freedoms and to see those extended worldwide?
:20:08. > :20:09.My Noble Friend makes a very important point.
:20:10. > :20:12.The UK supports freedom of expression as both a fundamental
:20:13. > :20:14.right in itself and as an essential element of a full
:20:15. > :20:18.The freedom of expression is required to allow innovation
:20:19. > :20:21.to thrive and ideas to develop and of course people must be allowed
:20:22. > :20:23.to discuss and debate issues freely without fear
:20:24. > :20:31.The International Development Secretary, Priti Patel,
:20:32. > :20:34.has said that other governments need to do more to help hundreds
:20:35. > :20:37.of thousands of Rohingya refugees who've fled to Bangladesh to escape
:20:38. > :20:44.She called it the fastest growing humanitarian crisis in the world.
:20:45. > :20:50.Priti Patel was being questioned by the International
:20:51. > :20:55.This is a crisis, a humanitarian crisis.
:20:56. > :20:58.And it costs money, it costs resources.
:20:59. > :21:02.And it may be very uncomfortable thing for the world to see
:21:03. > :21:05.and witness, but I tell you what, it will be even more uncomfortable
:21:06. > :21:09.And provide the resources that are needed to stop diseases,
:21:10. > :21:11.to stop sexual abuse and violence that is taking place
:21:12. > :21:16.If they don't provide the social, psychological support
:21:17. > :21:18.that is required for women and children who have seen such
:21:19. > :21:23.And importantly, provide the immediate humanitarian relief,
:21:24. > :21:29.food, water, all the things that many of us take for granted.
:21:30. > :21:33.Thank you for speaking up about it, we all know it is appalling genocide
:21:34. > :21:38.And the creating of hundreds of thousands of refugees.
:21:39. > :21:41.It will take many years before any of them are able
:21:42. > :21:44.Are there any countries that are being absolutely
:21:45. > :21:49.obtrusive and saying no, we're not getting any more money?
:21:50. > :21:52.And the fact that they don't give 0.7% to begin with is clearly
:21:53. > :21:57.appalling for a lot of them who can afford to do so.
:21:58. > :22:01.I think from the discussions we have had with many colleagues,
:22:02. > :22:05.I think we should be clear about that.
:22:06. > :22:08.But this is not just about the money.
:22:09. > :22:12.This is about the diplomatic efforts that are required.
:22:13. > :22:18.And this is actually about the world just sort of pressing that pause
:22:19. > :22:21.button for now and just sort of standing back and saying,
:22:22. > :22:44.I believe through the changes that I have instituted
:22:45. > :22:46.in the Department on money, because we have looked
:22:47. > :22:48.at our spending, I have stopped programmes and projects,
:22:49. > :22:51.I have not hesitated in stopping programmes and projects that I have
:22:52. > :22:53.felt have not delivered effectiveness or value for money.
:22:54. > :22:57.Of course that gives us more scope to save lives today and change
:22:58. > :22:59.lives in the long one for tomorrow as well.
:23:00. > :23:01.At the Conservative Party Conference you said were other government
:23:02. > :23:03.departments need to improve their aid spending, I'm challenging
:23:04. > :23:06.them to raise their game and be accountable to UK taxpayers.
:23:07. > :23:10.Can you give an example of where you have done that and how
:23:11. > :23:14.We are constantly accused of shoving money out of the door.
:23:15. > :23:23.I think that is the phrase that is used in popular parlance.
:23:24. > :23:25.And we are accused of that, other government departments have
:23:26. > :23:29.So changing the way in which other government departments fundamentally
:23:30. > :23:32.work, to plan ahead and to make the right kind of strategic
:23:33. > :23:41.decisions and choices on their spending.
:23:42. > :23:51.During your campaign you were one of the great Brexiteers. Once we leave
:23:52. > :23:57.the European Union we will look at all programmes, not just write
:23:58. > :24:01.checks unconditionally in the way we have done already to the European
:24:02. > :24:06.Commission. But we will look at where we can have the right kind of
:24:07. > :24:12.partnership, if it is for example in a refugee camp, in Jordan or
:24:13. > :24:16.Bangladesh, and that kind of work would continue but a different world
:24:17. > :24:20.working to what we have now where we just give a chunk of money over to
:24:21. > :24:21.the European Commission but have no oversight.
:24:22. > :24:23.Finally, Priti Patel was asked about the appointment
:24:24. > :24:25.of Zimbabwe's President Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador
:24:26. > :24:28.by the World Health Organisation - a decision that was reversed
:24:29. > :24:34.Quite frankly the decision that was made there and the right
:24:35. > :24:36.decision was obviously achieved afterwards, it is completely
:24:37. > :24:43.And we do not subscribe to the system where that kind
:24:44. > :24:46.of decision is made without having some kind of influence in terms
:24:47. > :25:03.Head of Channel 4 has denied stealing great British break off
:25:04. > :25:07.from the BBC but appearing before the culture committee David Abraham
:25:08. > :25:12.came under sustained attack from a rather disgruntled cure. I have
:25:13. > :25:17.watched it and what is innovative about the new show, we have three
:25:18. > :25:25.different presenters but all old hat presenters we have seen elsewhere.
:25:26. > :25:27.David Abraham set out to prove her criticisms were half baked and said
:25:28. > :25:29.the show was a recipe for success. And that's it from me for now,
:25:30. > :25:33.but do join me at the same time tomorrow for another round up
:25:34. > :25:35.of the day here at Westminster, including the highlights
:25:36. > :25:37.from Prime Ministers Questions. But for now from me,
:25:38. > :25:40.Mandy Baker, goodbye.
