Labour MPs have been defending their behaviour in the House of Commons after a photo showed 19 members on their mobiles while shadow chancellor John McDonnell delivered his response to the autumn statement. One of them, Jon Ashworth, told 5 live he was tweeting about the lack of money for the NHS and social care in Phillip Hammond's statement. The picture was also taken at a time when MPs may have wanted to follow the conclusion to the Jo Cox murder trial. The deputy speaker of the house, Lindsay Hoyle, told 5 live Daily's Jim Taylor what the rules say about mobile use in the chamber. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on Thursday 24 November.
