Corbyn seems to have just put down a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister after all - just happened in Commons - must have changed minds again after the tone of the debate this afternoon

1. With all the attention being given to the Northern Ireland backstop, let’s not forget that we still have no idea what kind of long-term economic relationship we will have with the EU.

🎥 As the @ScotchWhiskySWA have said, in the last five years more than £500m has been invested in capital projects. The industry is important to Moray and Scotland which is why I #supportscotch and am calling for the budget to freeze duty. 🥃

Exports of #ScotchWhisky to China were valued at £61m in 2017, an increase of 47% on the previous year.

We hope the visit of nearly 800 @Pernod_Ricard guests from China helps to build the solid foundation for future growth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🇨🇳 https://t.co/BH0oN8Db02
