Ian Blackford, the SNP leader at Westminster, (who is close to having lost his voice) says Cop26 may be the last chance to confront the climate emergency. He criticises the government decison not to back the Scottish carbon capture and storage pilot. But investment was promised in 2014. Will the government honour that promise?

Johnson says the Acorn bid from Aberdeen is a reserve option.

Blackford says people in Scotland want answers. All they see is another broken promise. He says tidal energy could generate 20% of the UK’s energy – the same as nuclear. He says it needs much less funding than nuclear.

Johnson says Blackford is too gloomy. He should be more optimistic. The Acorn project has prospects. Blackford should “keep hope alive”, he says.

Starmer says they need to stop online spaces being safe for terrorists. Will the PM commit to working with the opposition on tackling this together?

Johnson says he is willing to do so. But he says the house and the country also want to see Labour back measures to stop the early release of terrorists from jail.

Starmer criticises Johnson for his knockabout approach. He says this is a serious topic, and he expected better.

Johnson says the government will do all it can to strengthen its counter-terrorism laws.

Starmer says he is making progress. He says criminal sanctions are currently not on the face of the bill; they are only an option for ministers.

Will the government accept the recommendations from the commission on countering extremism set up after the Manchester Arena bombing?

Johnson sidesteps the question, saying the government has strong anti-terrrorism laws. He says Labour should back the government’s plans for longer sentences.

Starmer asks about the Telegram app, and says it is being used as the app of choice by extremists. He says the government’s current plans do not include sanctions for directors who fail to crack down on extremism.

Johnson says he will look at how the bill can be toughened. The government will come down hard on firms that allow dangerous content. He says he hopes Labour will back the government on this.

Sir Keir Starmer says the online safety bill is not before the house yet. He cites examples of violent material not being removed by social media companies. Will the government give the bill a second reading before the end fo the year. If so, Labour will support it.

Johnson welcomes Starmer’s comments. He says the bill will toughen up laws for social media companies. It will come for a vote before Christmas, he says.

Luke Hall (Con) asks about support for parents who have a premature baby.

Johnson says the governemnt will legislate to allow parents who have premature babies to take extended leave.

Rachael Maskell (Lab) asks about Sir David Amess and James Brokenshire, saying both MPs served the public well before they died. And she asks about the lack of confidence women have in the police, citing, among other things, the Met’s “flag down a bus” advice.

Boris Johnson says this is a most important issue, on of the most important the country faces. Women should feel confident in the police, he says. He says the government is investing in more police and better street ligthing.

But it is also important that men are prosecuted, that the CPS secures convictions and that sentences are tough.

PMQs is starting soon. It is the first one since the party conferences.

Here is the list of MPs down to ask a question.
