A raft of new anti-protest measures were added to #PolicingBill in the Lords late in the day without MPs debating them. Govt are now forcing us to vote on them late at night in the hopes they’ll win. But we’ve had 9 votes so far & govt has lost them all. More to come.

Dear @DWP , can zero-hours workers who self-isolate get Universal Credit? Αnd if people on UC can’t get to work so don’t get paid: will UC automatically adjust? And those who can’t get to Jobcentres or interviews: will sanctions be suspended till #coronavirus outbreak is over?

Just to be clear: - You don’t need a Queens Speech to introduce Bills. - Nor do you neeed to prorogue parliament. - Prorogrations usually last a few days, not 5 weeks. The Prime Minister just wants Parliament out of the way.

Just re-read Esther McVey’s statement today & it’s a shocker. She’s still trying to defend her use of stats for which the NAO says there’s no evidence. This is not OK: as I said in the HoL, she’s entitled to her own opinion but not to her own facts. Grr.
