- Tory Sir Roger Gale suggests Priti Patel should resign for allegedly misleading the Commons on the visa application centre "en route" Calais
- Exc: Sewage was dumped every four minutes during Therese Coffey's three years as water minister
- Commons leader Jacob Rees Mogg has just told MPs that Dominic Raab's own comments which came out of his own mouth and were recorded on tape were "shockingly distorted by low quality journalism" by me. Judge for yourself...

- Tory MP Mark Francois wearing his mask over his mouth but not his nose while asking a question in the Commons
- Replying to @singharjJacob Rees Mogg has also misled parliament by accusing HuffPost UK of using a "cheat" to "edit the recording" - this is not true, we did not edit any recording passed to us and quoted it in full.
