I have resigned from Cabinet and surrendered the Conservative Whip. I cannot stand by as good, loyal moderate Conservatives are expelled. I have spoken to the PM and my Association Chairman to explain. I remain committed to the One Nation values that drew me into politics.

It’s shocking that this needs saying, but it’s not okay to ‘joke’, threaten or talk about raping a woman. @jessphillips is admired even by those of us who don’t share her politics, because she’s a determined MP and a strong advocate for women’s rights. We must defeat this hate.

During Gov briefings am I the only one thinking ‘where are all the women?’ Why are there no senior women in the “war cabinet” or used to convey those critical messages? Equality means better decisions. Don’t pack the women away during a crisis.

The Spectator memo is angry and desperate. It shows that, far from having a coherent plan, No10 will simply beg the EU to say no to a delay. Our inability so far to strike a deal with the EU is the consequence of little genuine government effort going into getting one.

No true. The Benn Act galvanised Government to get a deal. Without it, we could have drifted to Oct 31st. Now we have to have a deal to leave on time .

Most of those who backed the Benn Act did so because they wanted to stop Brexit. But some did so because they genuinely wanted to leave—but with a deal. Last 48 hours, though, have highlighted what a strategic miscalculation they made: they've actually made ‘no deal’ more likely

Tory reconciled remainer MPs like me compromised at every stage, trying to find a way to make this work. If hardline Brexiteers want to lob a grenade for an ideological purist fantasy fire on. But my patience + goodwill will be gone. This deal is as far as I'm prepared to go.

Today I set out the how we will offer the #WindrushGeneration greater rights than they currently enjoy by enabling them to acquire British citizenship quickly, at no cost and with assistance through the process, and how we will compensate people for the hardship they've endured.

Utterly appalling attitude towards the problem of antisemitism which has gripped the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn must stamp this out. As Home Secretary I pledged millions towards protecting British Jews and will always fight this scourge.

It’s been a great privilege to serve Penrith and The Border for the last ten years, so it is with sadness that I am announcing that I will be standing down at the next election, and that I have also resigned from the Conservative Party.
