Your support makes all the difference.Politicians lined up to condemn alleged inappropriate behaviour at the Presidents Club dinner after claims that a number of women were sexually harassed at the male-only event.
Trustees of the charity have announced it is to close with no further fundraising events planned and the remaining funds shared among charities.
Pressure is mounting on government minister Nadhim Zahawi, who attended the event. There have been calls for the education minister to resign, but Theresa May's spokesman said the Prime Minister had no plans to talk to him about his attendance at the dinner.
Mr Zahawi said he felt uncomfortable at the dinner and left early. He will not be attending male-only events in future, he added.
Earlier in the day, David Davis was grilled by MPs as he gave evidence to the Brexit Select Committee.
The Brexit Secretary was asked about the next round of negotiations with EU leaders, which begin in March, and the Government's plan for a transitional period before Britain leaves the EU.
He confirmed that the UK would remain in the single market "in operational terms" during the transitional period, the details of which he said would be agreed by the end of March. In a move likely to anger many Tory MPs, he also confirmed that Britain would have to abide by the rulings of European courts during that time.
This afternoon, Labour will try to force the Government to release the risk assessments it carried out before granting major public contracts to the construction firm Carillion, which collapsed earlier this month.
The tactic proved successful in forcing the Government to give MPs access to its Brexit impact assessments late last year.
Labour MP Jess Phillips has been granted an Urgent Question in the House of Commons on the issue of the Presidents Club dinner. The Financial Times revealed last night that a number of women working at the all-male event were subjected to sexual harrasment, lewd jokes and inappropriate propositions.
As the fallout continues, a number of charities have this morning said they will be giving back the money they received from the organisation.
Jeremy Corbyn is up. As expected, he asks about Boris Johnson's claim that the NHS needs a further £5bn of investment.
Theresa May says the Government has already invested £6bn in the health system.
Mr Corbyn, however, says the money is going to be "spread like thin gruel" over several years.
Mr Corbyn reads from a letter signed by 68 doctors, highlighting the pressures the NHS is under. They say patients are dying in corridors before they can be treated.
Contrasting this with the Prime Minister's claim that the NHS was "better prepared for this winter than ever before", the Labour leader asks who the public should believe.
Ms May highlights the action the Government has taken to ensure the health system is able to cope with increased demand.
She says:
"Our NHS is indeed providing for patients. There are winter pressures, we were prepared for those winter pressures and we will ensure...that the NHS receives more funding."
It's getting rather predictable now. Corbyn talks about budget cuts and a decrease in the number of beds, May says it's just as bad in Wales, where Labour is in government, Corbyn says that's a result of Tory budget cuts. You could almost script it.
May says that, at the last election, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said Labour and the Conservatives are "pretty much on the same page - there's not much to choose between in terms of the money they will put into the NHS".
An angry Jeremy Corbyn says a Labour government "wouldn't be under-funding the NHS and wouldn't be under-funding social care".
Mr Corbyn moves on to his usual, social media-friendly speech during his final question.
He says the NHS "needs money, it needs support and it needs it now. The Prime Minister is in denial about the state of the NHS...GP numbers are down, nurses are leaving, the NHS is in crisis."
"When is the Prime Minister going to take action to save the NHS from death by a thousand cuts?" he asks.
And that's the end of another exchange that sounded very much like the last one. Almost word-for-word the same from both Ms May and Mr Corbyn.
Damian Green, formerly the de facto deputy prime minister, was chairing various key Cabinet committees a few weeks ago, and standing in for Theresa May at the dispatch box. He then had to resign after allegations about his treatment of women and suggestions that pornography had been found on his office computer.
He's now at PMQs asking a question from the backbenches about a new river crossing in the Lower Thames area, which he says would create up to 5,000 jobs.
Theresa May, an old friend of Mr Green, agress the new crossing will "unlock opoprtunities and economic growth" in the area.
