Angela Eagle to Boris Johnson: “If the PM needs a Met Police inquiry to tell him whether he attended a party on 13th November in his own Downing St flat, why should we believe he's a fit and proper person to have his hand on the button of our independent nuclear deterrent?”

I loved watching the Supreme Court today and I couldn’t quite figure out why. And then I realised. It was like the grown ups were in charge again. It’s been a long while.

Ukrainian Ambassador to UK: “I was listening to Putin for almost an hour, an historic debate with himself. And I have to tell you when a nuclear nation is calling your nation a historical mistake which has to be fixed, you have to be worried about what he has in mind.” #newsnight

Starmer: “I promise this- a politics which treads a little lighter on all our lives. That’s the thing about populism or nationalism…It needs your full attention, needs you constantly focussing on this week’s common enemy. And that’s exhausting.” Really interesting section.

What we've seen just now is a humiliation for Truss and govt but more than anything else it is a humbling day for Britain. Take out the personalities, and the UK's govt has been forced to change its economic policy and its finance minister by the markets. It will be remembered.

Keir Starmer: “May I welcome the new Cabinet to their places. A chancellor who accepted a job from the PM on Wednesday afternoon and told him to quit on Thursday morning. A new Northern Ireland Sec who once asked if he needed a passport to get to Derry.”

The centrepiece of the Cummings testimony underlines the problem. Mr Cummings’ child ended up in a Durham hospital. DC said that he was concerned he would end up there too. This is what the authorities wanted to avoid and why people were urged to stay in their primary residence.

Strange echoes of months ago. In February the PM was forced to choose between his Chancellor and Mr Cummings. He chose Mr Cummings. It could be said tonight that he had to choose between the credibility of his public health strategy and Mr Cummings. Again, he chose the latter.

@sophielouisecc Hi Sophie! I’ve simply pointed out that something I reported on and which was dismissed as scaremongering by some who advocated Brexit turns out to have happened. As you know, it’s far from an isolated example. Sorry if you find that inconvenient.

Chloe Smith, Conservative MP for Norwich North announces she’s standing down at next elections n. Majority of just over 4500. She’s only 40. No 10 will twitch. If a series of young Tory MPs in marginal seats announce their exit, it sends a very clear signal…

Most important thing Starmer said this morning is confirming that even if Rwanda plan is declared legal by Supreme Court, he will reverse it.
