We're bringing our live coverage to a close for the evening.

It's been a day dominated by the continued fallout from the prime minister's speech about migration - you can catch up via the key points above, including the best of your comments.

We'll be back with more in the morning, see you then.

John Healey has become the first defence secretary to close the day's market at the London Stock Exchange. 

Healey was there to announce a new partnership with businesses, which he hopes will encourage more people to invest in defence.

Healey said: "The war in Ukraine confronts us with the truth that a military is only as strong as the industry which stands behind it."

What has he actually announced?

Here are the main points:

• Four enterprise agreements worth up to £50m;
• Procurement will be sped up for equipment such as tanks, planes, and ships, getting them to contract in two years rather than six;
• New communications gear, weapons systems, and drones will also be secured more quickly.

 A prison officer will be "murdered" if the government does not act, the sector's union has warned.

The Prison Officers Association (POA) has called for the government to create so-called "super-max" jails to hold the most violent offenders. 

The group also condemned the government for inaction, as it began its conference in Eastbourne today.

Mark Fairhurt said: "Prison violence is at a 10-year-high, deaths in custody are up, self harm is up, violence is up and assaults on staff are up. We need action to address the crisis in our prisons."

He said an attack on officers at HMP Frankland by Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi last month showed that frontline staff "do not have the PPE required to keep [them] safe".

His comments follow Lord Timpson telling Sky News yesterday that the government wouldn't rule out introducing super-max prisons to tackle violence in jails.

But the government is not in the POA's good books at the moment.

Fairhurst condemned Labour and said their promise to help working people clearly "doesn't apply to prison officers".

"We still do not have the most fundamental and basic human right - the right to strike", he said.

He added that the government has not reversed the "disaster of privatisation" in the prison estate and said he fears it will continue.

The MSP who introduced a bill to propose legalising assisted dying in Scotland has said he understands it has been a "difficult decision" for many colleagues.

Liam McArthur said it is a "landmark moment for Scotland" and he is glad it has been backed by parliament. 

The "quality of debate today has shown our parliament at its finest", he added.

McArthur has been congratulated by his counterpart in Westminster, Kim Leadbeater MP.

He added he will continue meeting with MSPs, medical organisations and legal experts to ensure his bill in Scotland is "robustly safeguarded".

McArthur concluded: "This bill has been a long time coming but, at long last, it can offer that compassionate choice for the small number of terminally ill Scots who need it."

Kim Leadbeater, the MP who introduced the Assisted Dying Bill to the UK parliament, has said she is "pleased" that the devolved administration in Scotland has voted in favour of changing the law.

She said MSPs "listened to the voices of those with personal experience of those injustices and concluded that the status quo cannot be defended any longer."

Leadbeater also paid tribute to Liam McArthur, the MSP who introduced the motion in Scotland. Having passed the first hurdle, it will face more scrutiny and votes in early 2026.

Westminster bill 'even stronger' than before

Leadbeater said since MPs in Westminster voted in principle of her bill last November, "more people have suffered painful deaths and other families have confronted the risk of prosecution when a loved one travelled to Dignitas or took their own life".

She added the Westminster bill will be "even stronger" when it returns to the Commons on Friday, following changes made at the committee stage.

"I look forward to colleagues approaching the next stage with the same respect and civility they showed in November – and that MSPs have shown today," she concluded.

John Swinney voted against proposals to legalise assisted dying in Scotland this evening, but has praised the "dignity, courtesy and respect" with which the debate was conducted.

The first minister and SNP leader said he had "significant issues" with the bill, which will now face further scrutiny at Holyrood.

Further votes are not expected until early next year.

Jonathan Ashworth says he is "not convinced" by the assisted dying bill and would vote against it if he was still an MP.

The former shadow health secretary tells Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge that he feels "the safeguards that the pro-campaign promised MPs have been watered down through the committee stage".

It follows the Scottish parliament passing initial proposals to legalise assisted dying in the last few minutes.

Similar plans are at a later stage in Westminster, and return to the Commons later this week.

Watch: Why has assisted dying bill divided opinion?

Ashworth says he thinks "lots of problems will emerge" when people look at the details of the proposals, both in Westminster and Holyrood.

He tells Sophy he is "open-minded" and "very, very sympathetic" to those who are calling for assisted dying to be legalised, though.

'I'm out of step with most people of faith'

Baroness Warsi disagrees, and says she is "agnostic" on the bill.

The former Tory minister has previously been "very, very against it", but has moved closer to being in favour from listening to those calling for it. 

She says she is "probably out of step" with other people of faith who "probably don't think assisted dying is the way forward".

She adds the bill is hopefully triggering conversations about end of life care and the power of attorney.

Ashworth says end of life care is "desperately underfunded" and believes this is the real issue.

Baroness Warsi says Sir Keir Starmer's decision to say the UK risks becoming an "island of strangers" was a "misstep".

Speaking to Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge, the former Tory minister says she thinks the PM's speechwriters didn't note the possible parallels with Enoch Powell's notorious words.

She adds that Labour colleagues "have had a huge amount of backlash from this", and some people have even resigned from the party as a result.

Warsi says many of her Labour colleagues have received angry emails because of the language used by Starmer.

But she says that the PM "hadn't thought through" the second part of his speech - about the work the government is doing to promote integration. 

"I think all of that should have found its way back into this speech," she says, in reference to comments about unity and diversity Starmer made following the Southport riots last summer. 

'Eye-catching' language

Ex-Labour MP Jonathan Ashworth says he thinks people need to "remember the substance of the speech", and called the government's new immigration plans a "series of practical reforms".

"I think that when the British public are saying, 'this isn't right, we need to get a grip of this'... I think it is appropriate that the government responds," he adds.

Ashworth says Starmer's language was "eye-catching" and believes it is right to be talking about integration.

MSPs have voted in favour of plans to legalise assisted dying.

It passed by 70 votes to 56.

The stage one vote was on the general principles of the bill ahead of any suggested changes. 

It will now face further votes at the committee stage and in the chamber before potentially becoming law, but not until early next year.

The bill was tabled in a bid to allow terminally ill adults to seek medical help to end their lives.

It comes after MPs voted in favour of similar proposals for England and Wales.

Supporters argue it would ease the suffering of dying Scots, while opponents argue it would fail to safeguard some of the most vulnerable people in society.

MSP Liam McArthur, who brought forward the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, opened the debate ahead of the stage one vote at the Scottish parliament on Tuesday.

A free vote on the bill took place - meaning MSPs were not instructed on how to vote by their parties or the Scottish government.

First Minister John Swinney, Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, former first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf, and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar had earlier revealed they intended to vote against it.

Right now there is a pretty fierce debate raging in the Labour Party about Keir Starmer's speech on immigration. 

Specifically, this bit:

For some, this is shameful repetition of language from the far right. For others, a reflection of a reality the political class has been in denial about. 

And that split within the Labour Party is a microcosm of a wider split among Labour voters - those in cities that celebrate multiculturalism, and those in towns that worry about the impact of immigration. 

Navigating that is the challenge for Starmer. But actually, I think his biggest challenge is something else: authenticity. 

Watch: What do voters make of PM's immigration rules?

The political debate around immigration is delicate, difficult, and often divisive, but for voters it's also instinctive. 

What people think about immigration is more than just a political stance - it's part of their identity. So when Starmer comes out with this strong rhetoric on immigration, voters need to believe he really means it. 

That this isn't just a political costume he's adopted because his adviser has done focus groups that suggest it's a good idea, or because he's worried about how Reform performed in the local elections.

Number 10 would argue Starmer is authentic on migration - and he's speaking from the heart. The debate on migration is nuanced and complex, and Starmer reflects that. 

But it does feel to me that the biggest political risk isn't about which side of the argument he comes down on - it's voters not believing he means it.
