Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will go head to head at Prime Minister's Questions for the final time of 2016.

The latest political stories are:

Handful of MPs turn up for urgent Aleppo debate
Labour unveils plan to end rough sleeping
Lords say May should guarantee EU citizens' rights
Women suffer 86 per cent of Tory benefit cuts

This week's Prime Minister's Questions is the first time in two weeks the pair have met as the Prime Minister was attending the Gulf Cooperation Council in Bahrain last week.

It comes a day ahead of Ms May's visit to a key EU summit in Brussels.

The issue of Aleppo is sure to be raised at the PMQs session as the Syrian civil war reaches its most bloody point yet.

At a sparsely-attended emergency debate MPs discussed the emergency action they believed should be taken, while some blamed Ed Miliband blocking intervention in 2013 for the slaughter.
