I lost my uncle too, in mid April. I will never forget how helpless I felt because I couldn’t go to comfort my mother. I’m sorry, this is still a story of one rule for Cummings & another for the rest of us.

A sad saga. But it does mean a by-election - huge opportunity for the LibDems. EXCLUSIVE: Jared O’Mara to resign as Sheffield Hallam MP | The Star

LibDems can make as many jokes as they like about Tories, nobody's fooled; nothing alters fact that LD sold their voters down the river

I’ve been through about ten revisions of this tweet, trying to remain civil, but I am finding it hard to contain my anger at Theresa May. I’ll settle on near-criminally irresponsible. She is focused entirely on keeping her party together irrespective of the real-world damage.

@DAaronovitch @wesstreeting @Andrew_Adonis The Labour leadership remained social democratic throughout the early eighties. Not now. The moderate, centre-left tradition has all but evaporated as the leadership turns the screw and transforms Labour into something resembling a Marxist sect.

Voters deserve to hear from a Remainer on the debate stage, not just from the two men who want to deliver Brexit. @JoSwinson should be included in the TV debates. Add your name today to tell Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn to #DebateHer

Statement from the CEO of the UK’s biggest manufacturing sector. Asks MPs to think carefully about how they core tomorrow and has judged the deal to be a ‘backward step’ as compared with the previous deal on offer.
