Bercow opposes Trump speech in parliament

Should the speaker of the House of Commons be free to express his own opinion? Or should he remain neutral? MPs Stella Creasy and Crispin Blunt debate the issue.

Should the Speaker be free to express his own opinion? Or should he remain neutral? We debate the issue with MPs Stella Creasy and Crispin Blunt. Francois Fillon apologises for employing his wife and children at public expense -- but his campaign director tells us he won't be pulling out of the presidential race. Is the Conservative dream of home ownership being overtaken by the need to protect renters - we discuss the government's housing plans. And how the first Muslim woman MP in Australia, is fighting back against social media trolls.
