There was a debate on the Government's Article 50 Bill in the House of Lords last night, where Peers were urged to "respect" voters' decision to leave the EU. And Theresa May took the unusual step of sitting in the Lords to watch the opening speeches. There was also an attack from William Hague on Tony Blair, after the former Prime Minister called on his Brexit opponents to "rise up". Elsewhere, MPs clashed over whether Donald Trump should be given a state visit to the UK. This was in a Westminster debate last night. Meanwhile, Trump has named HR McMaster as his national security adviser. To discuss all these stories, Georgie was joined by Jack Sommers of the Huffington Post.

Joining Georgie Frost to discuss what the main market headlines of the morning are Panmure Gordon's veteran Market Commentator, David Buik. A busy morning of Company Announcements, including a difficult statement from HSBC. HSBC is blaming a year of "unexpected economic and political events" for a slump in annual profits. The bank made just under 2 billion pounds over the year, compared with nearly 11 billion in 2015. The company says uncertainties created through the last 12 months temporarily influenced investment activity and contributed to volatile market conditions.

It's time to talk politics. The House of Lords has begun debating the Article 50 bill - legislation that, if passed, would empower Theresa May to trigger the UK's departure from the EU. Meanwhile, the Government has locked horns with its backbenchers over growing fears they may revolt on a re-evaluation of business rates. Adjustment occurs every 5 years or so to reflect changes in the property market, but, with the prospect of rate rises in Tory heartlands, not all Conservative MPs are onboard. Senior ministers have penned a letter to stave off the rebels-in-waiting, insisting bills will not rise for most firms. Will the Lords block Brexit? Is the Government about to blow small business out of the water? Simon was joined in the studio by Jerry Hayes, former Conservative MP and now barrister and political commentator, Bob Neil MP, former Communities and Local Government Minister, and Dr Nicholas Wright, Teaching Fellow in EU Politics at University College London.
