Sadiq Khan has just announced that he has been "forced" to propose a £26 annual rise in council tax to help tackle violent crime in London. He has also given an extra £6.8 million for the violence reduction unit.

Interesting. According to the dossier of disciplinary cases obtained by LBC, the allegations against Dr Gordon-Nesbitt were deemed serious enough to be referred to the National Constitutional Committee. That is the only body powerful enough to expel Labour party members.https://twitter.com/RGordon_Nesbitt/status/1075695862439923712 …

The debate is now about what is more important: Whether Jeremy Corbyn called the PM a "stupid woman". Or the fact 597 homeless people in England and Wales died on the streets last year. The two are completely distinguishable from each other but that will not matter.

Tom Watson to
@LBC on Corbyn row: "He went to the Despatch Box. He said he didn't say it. That's good enough for me." Ferrari: how should my listeners see politicians? Watson: "It's sad. I feel I'm in the middle of a big gang fight between every lip reader in the country."Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
TfL's air quality plan is bad news for black cabs too. At the moment taxi drivers must renew their cabs every 15 years. That cut-off now reduced to 12 years. Severe effect on trade-in value of old cabs. Estimated total loss of equity for London's drivers: £180 million.

Uber has not responded to the plans, which will be formally published later. But it has suggested to LBC its drivers could pay the charge themselves.

Uber has c.40k drivers in London. Like other private hire vehicle operators, Uber has been exempt from the charge. But London mayor Sadiq Khan and TfL want to improve the city’s air quality. And so London’s 100,000 minicab operators will now be charged £11.50 a day.

This section from Erskine May indicates the Government provides time to debate the Labour motion. From looking at the parliamentary calendar from now until Christmas, it's difficult to see where that time might come from. There is no Opposition time pencilled in either.pic.twitter.com/SVj0TYGVO8

Labour source: Corbyn will tell PM in his reply to her Commons statement that he will table a motion of no confidence in her leadership unless she announces a date for the meaningful vote. Me: do you have the numbers from angry Tories and DUP? Source: let’s see.

Looks like this could get messy in the courts, with plenty of big names from the worlds of business, showbiz and politics linked to the Garden Bridge Trust.https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/17/garden-bridge-donors-sue-failed-london-scheme …

Sunday Times reporting Number 10 considering 2nd vote with choice: May’s Deal or No Deal. Commons could then add remain. This would rely on Corbyn ordering his MPs to do exactly that. Gets May out of a jam. Risk question isn’t amended and UK votes to leave without a deal.pic.twitter.com/iz4L9x1nfl

Quick thought: 2nd ref doesn’t have to prevent Brexit. PM could demand poll with the Q: My deal or No deal? In her view that wouldn’t overturn 2016 result. And MPs could change the Q. Pressures Corbyn to put remain on the ballot paper. Needless to say v high risk.

PM won't answer yes or no whether she is prepared for UK to leave the EU without a deal.

PM: What was very clear from fellow EU leaders was that this could get over the line. EU27 conclusions takes us forward. This is the clearest statement yet from the EU that the backstop should never be necessary, she adds.

PM: I had a robust discussion with Jean Claude Juncker. One thing that came out of that was that when he used that (nebulous) phrase, he was talking about the general debate.

PM adds: Formal conclusions should be welcomed. My discussions with colleagues today shows that further clarifications are possible. "It is in the over-whelmingly interests of all our people... to get this done as quickly as possible."
