Delighted to have been allowed about 5 minutes of discussion over the BBC's election night coverage, given we are only on course to be 2nd in terms of votes and seats with our best ever result in European Elections...💁♂️
Tonight, due to 76 missing Labour MPs failing to vote against the Government’s immigration bill, it passed by 63 votes. Britain deserves a better opposition.
"I'm no longer the Speaker. I don't have to remain impartial now... Brexit is the biggest foreign policy mistake in the post-war period"

In 2015 we introduced the 5p charge on plastic carrier bags, we now see 9bn fewer bags being used. It's making a real difference. We want to do the same with single use plastics. Nobody who watched

One former Tory minister has this take on pairing row: The mistake
@JulianSmithUK
made was to arrange pairing with a pregnant lady. Ladies have been having babies in this place for donkeys years. They never needed pairing before now

“Relatively few people have a BNO Passport as the scheme was closed years ago. The cross-party Hong Kong Bill, would reopen the passport offer to also give young Hong Kongers the right to live in the UK. I am urging the Government to do this as a priority.”

Polling shows the Lib Dems are winning or in second place in 134 seats. We are on the offensive and in a position to take a substantial number of seats from the Tories that Labour can’t

He could support the people having the final say on the deal then.
Or he could have properly opposed Brexit in the referendum.
Saying you're worried isn't a substitute for actually doing something.

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has challenged Liz Truss to recall Parliament and set out in the next 24 hours how she will fix the mess caused by last week's disastrous budget. It comes as the Bank of England has announced emergency measures today.
Attempt to create an offence of "upskirting" with bill fails in the Commons because an MP calls "object". It did have government backing, but any MP is allowed to object. The bill now goes to the back of the queue...

You really are an insufferable self publicist. What is playing out is your 'vision'- the dangers of which you were warned about. Your lies and false assurances are becoming clearer by the day and it is pathetic that the Conservatives are now pursuing your blueprint.
Theresa May statement absolutely farcical - her gov has made a mess out of Brexit and hasn't woken up to the fact that they are damaging the UK.
The people must be given the final say and the chance to exit from Brexit.

“Not only do people have the right to change their minds; they have changed their minds. No deal is a catastrophe, May’s deal is dead in the water, we need to take this back to the people.”
The people of Tiverton and Honiton have spoken up for the country. This looks like a historic victory for the Liberal Democrats and a devastating blow for those Conservative MPs who continue to prop up Boris Johnson.
