I think what they meant to say was: when all this is over, we will give all those NHS foreign doctors, nurses and paramedics citizenship!

The Home Office says NHS doctors, nurses and paramedics with UK work visas due to expire before 1 October will have them automatically extended for a year so they can "focus on fighting coronavirus"

For any teenager struggling with their sexuality, it is vitally important for them to understand that gay sex is NOT a sin.

After 18 years and 5 months, my last day as MP. Heartfelt thanks to the people of North Norfolk for showing faith in me and for giving me the privilege of representing you in Parliament.

My decision! I hope people will accept that it has been reached after a lot of soul searching and on the basis of what I think is best for the country and my constituents. I hope we can avoid the bile and abuse on both sides which has characterised this debate.

Sad decision to stand down as MP after 18 years. Honoured to represent people in N Norfolk. Today Mary and I set up a Mental Health Fund for Norfolk. Click here norfolkfoundation.com/giving-philant… to contribute. Also exploring a potential national fund to fight for equality on these issues.

Very disturbing report from Northern Ireland on @BBCNewsnight on how Brexit deal could disturb careful balance enshrined in Good Friday Agreement with risks of Unionist backlash. Chief Constable expressing his concerns. Peace has prevailed for over 20 years. Cannot put it at risk

Come on @theresa_may, a little boy’s life is at risk. No need for Home Office to ‘carefully consider’ allowing Billy Caldwell to have his cannabis oil. Just let him have it NOW and then legalise medicinal cannabis as first step toward rational drug policy

Respect to ⁦@SadiqKhan⁩ for remaining steadfast! Children die as a result of poor air quality in cities! And it’s the poorest communities who suffer the most!

This is such a criminal waste of money. Just think what we could be spending it on - schools, mental health, police.....No-deal Brexit plans to get £2.1bn boost - BBC News
Brexit: £2.1bn extra for no-deal planning

Dismal prospect having Boris Johnson as our Prime Minister. Demeans our country.

The case for legalising cannabis: 1) Protect teenagers from harm caused by high potent strains available NOW in criminal market 2) Combat extreme violence linked to criminal market, most affecting poorest communities 3) Undermine organised crime which makes billions

Scandalous case of Dr Furaha Asani, a young academic who came to this country with a full scholarship to do a PHD and has done cardiovascular research at Leicester Uni, who is now being deported to the DRC - where she has never even visited. This is outrageous and inhumane.
