My message to all Conservative MPs ahead of tonight's vote: You - more than Boris Johnson - are on public trial today. The public has CORRECTLY decided that the PM doesn't tell the truth. They are waiting to see if that is something you accept or not. I very much hope not.

1. Boris promised me twice he’d “never” abandon 0.7%. But who cares what he told me? 2. He has broken a manifesto promise. 3. He has broken a promise to world’s poorest people when they need it most. 4. Under this PM, Britain is becoming a nation that doesn’t keep its word.

If No10 wanted to keep Dom Cummings they should’ve apologised for breaking the rules but it was not a resigning issue. The pretence that no breach took place undermines all lockdown messages and insults public intelligence.

Sky is less and less of a news channel; more and more a views channel. It’s a real shame.

Well done Daily Mail. I certainly won’t be voting Conservative at the next election.

Brexit hasn’t reduced Britain to this: a parliament that refuses to vote for Brexit is to blame.

Tomorrow, the UK will once again plead with the EU27 for more time. Brexit has reduced Britain to a humiliated supplicant.

Every word of this Tweet is true but did Victoria Derbyshire Tweet “left-wing thugs attack police” last week? A BBC journalist needs to be consistent and needs to be seen to be consistent.

We have had to vote for #Brexit three times. 1. Once at the referendum. 2. Once at the 2017 when 80% of us voted for parties that promised to honour that vote. 3. And now - with Tories on a projected 46% - for the third time. Can we Leave now?

Why don’t you resign and fight a by-election on this Anna? Let’s see if your constituents agree with the position you take now - rather than the ‘I’ll respect the referendum’ position you took at the general election

No @DPJHodges Those who’ll bear hardest burden of #Brexit our children, grand children & especially the poorest will be angry with those who have stood by, acquiesced, bleated “will of the people” knowing it’s not in national interest. In the circs @peoplesvote_uk is tame stuff

From the very moment Britain voted to leave these individuals have been working to keep us in the EU. None have lifted a finger to help negotiate an optimal exit. Their defeat is essential - not so much for delivering #Brexit but to rescue the idea that voting can change anything

Hi Cabinet. For yr own self-respect don't give 1 more interview defending stuff u know is indefensible. You aren't kidding yourself; let alone us. THEN we need eg Sunak+Javid+Wallace (other combos available) to tell Boris THIS AM he goes or you all go. END THIS CRAP TODAY 🙏🚨

Mr Peston worries about the mood in the House of Commons. @Jacob_Rees_Mogg is more worried about the mood of 17.4 million people. Not enough MPs share that concern. Not nearly enough.

However eloquent @Jacob_Rees_Mogg may be, I am not sure he has caught the mood of the House with his attack on Tory rebels as flouting parliamentary convention and the constitution. He is stiffening the resolve of the rebels: "JRM is utterly winding up the house. His arrogance...
