Confused. Health minister Helen Whateley tells @BBCr4today that NHS has the capacity to carry out 10,000 coronavirus test but confirms that fewer than 7,000 were actually carried out yesterday. Why?

How to sum up last few days for @BorisJohnson ? 5 days in Commons + 5 major defeats - 21 Tory MPs = 0 majority + 0 election + 0 plan for Brexit + 5 weeks of Parliament suspensed

Extraordinary. That emergency statement by the Chancellor junked almost everything @trussliz promised. It was as significant as any Budget & yet had to be made immediately. That can only be because @Jeremy_Hunt had been warned of the threat of an imminent market meltdown

Grim news. Was evident earlier that things were a lot worse than No 10 was letting on. There is no politics tonight. Just best wishes for a fellow human being struck low by this dreadful virus.

@BorisJohnson has been moved into intensive care so that he can go on a ventilator if his condition worsens further after it deteriorated this afternoon

The week Brexit hit the brick wall : Commons won’t accept May’s deal. Tories won’t change leader. EU won’t change May’s deal. Nothing has changed. Plan B anyone ?

Finding all this complicated Brexit deal talk a bit hard to follow? Let me try to help. May negotiated a deal the EU could live with but MPs couldn’t. Johnson has now proposed a deal which Parliament would probably back & the EU almost certainly won’t. I hope this helps

Uncorked. @DavidGauke tells @BBCr4today that a Conservative majority government would be "disastrous for the prosperity of the country" as it would lead to a Hard Brexit, leaving the EU without a deal in Dec '20 & making whole sectors of the economy unviable

Governments can only pay for increasing spending by raising taxes, increasing borrowing or cutting other spending. “Dividends” are what politicians talk about when they don’t want to spell out which of those they are going to do
