Osborne spending rules passed amid 'U-turn' row

New spending rules proposed by the government have passed by 320 to 258 votes, after a heated debate in the Commons.

Chancellor George Osborne said the plan, requiring governments "in normal times" to spend less than they get in tax, represented "economic sanity".

It came as shadow chancellor John McDonnell said his decision to reverse Labour's stance was "embarrassing" but right.
