    Dominic Grieve making the speech of his life in the Commons. ‘I have never felt more ashamed to be a Conservative’. Devastating in its honesty and its clarity. #BrexitChaos

    I am appalled at some of the remarks made in relation to news that Johnson has been admitted to hospital. Surely none of us wants to see anyone suffer with this illness, whether it’s Johnson or anyone else. Let’s all show some decency at this terrible time. #Johnson #COVID2019

    Boris Johnson wants to raise NI rates to boost spending in the NHS. Whatever happened to that £350m a week Brexit dividend? #PoliticsLive

    It’s increasingly obvious that Corbyn is leading his party towards facilitating Brexit. He will never be forgiven by the voters who pay the price with jobs lost and reduced living standards.

    .@jeremycorbyn "There is a majority in this house for the kind of sensible credible deal Labour has set out". These are not the words of a Labour leader who in his heart wants a #PeoplesVote or EU referendum

    £33m compensation to Eurotunnel is the price to taxpayers for the 'no ferry' contract debacle overseen by Chris Grayling. Money that could have been put to much better use by the DfT. This really is the last straw - time for Grayling to go. #failingGrayling

    David Miliband is a British citizen, that’s why Brexit is as relevant to him as to you Lucy. Just as all those British citizens living and working in the EU also have a right to a say.

    I’m sorry but what has David Miliband got to do with the current debate over Brexit? He hasn’t been living in the country for 5 years. Let alone in touch with the electorate. @BBCr4today #BBCR4today

    Looking forward to Monday & the start of another working week for the first time in years. Excited for the first time in ages at the prospect of building a new policy platform. Liberated at last from what has felt like imprisonment in a hostile ideological space. @TheIndGroup

    Still time to sign my petition. We need to get the message over to Jeremy Corbyn that Labour members and supporters want a #PeoplesVote

    Let’s get real about #breconandradnor - it was a LibDem seat for nearly twenty years. Any pitch for a joint independent candidate is futile, given the already commanding position held by the LibDems and the opportunity that gives for a victory for #Remain. #putthecountryfirst
