No MP should be allowed to switch parties like that. It is for the electors to decide whether or not they remain an MP. He should have stood down. #BurySouth

What am I missing in this @William_Wragg story? Why the ring of protection from the Conservatives? Why is this being treated as ‘one of those things’? There was a time and a party - not long ago - where he would have resigned. The public are being treated like fools.

As a former Royal Correspondent I take big issue with Harry’s claim that we were an extension of the Palace press operation. Neither we - nor they - thought we were. Quite the opposite. That’s why the job of Royal Correspondent was always regarded as one of the toughest ‘beats’.

‘In a rare and remarkable intervention, Royal sources described how King Charles and Queen Camilla are 'not worried but wearied' by the Sussexes' stream of criticism. An exasperated Palace source emphasised the word 'wearied'…. I think this goes for all of us.
