    This was such a lovely hour chatting with the brilliant @SheroyZaq . I was a little over-relaxed having just returned from a hike and swim in Loweswater. But hey, there comes a point in life…

    Breaking: European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg grants rule 39 request to stop the flight to Rwanda from leaving. Basis: real risk of inhuman and degrading treatment (Art. 3 ECHR). Please share - government must comply.

    Johnson 1pm : I'm sorry. I've been humbled. And....I've learnt lessons. Johnson 2pm: I've changed the rules so I never need to be sorry or humbled again.

    People need to stop saying that refugees will be sent to Rwanda for ‘processing’. The policy is to send them there forever - there is no return. This is people trafficking by the Government. They are bribing Rwanda with development funds.

    The PM was able to hold a party at Chequers for one reason; ie because he is still PM. So the guest list should be published. Similarly the costs, including the value of in-kind benefits, ie premises, staff, energy-costs and who paid for all of them.

    It is wrong to say people 'hate' Dominic Cummings. We hate being lied to. We hate corruption. We hate hypocrisy. We hate cheating.

    The BBC says: “Protesters target mosque”. Can you imagine saying “Protesters target synagogue? These are criminals. By platforming Farage, Oakeshott, Tice, Goodwin etc, the BBC normalised the far right. Now it legitimises them as so called “protesters”

    Every single MP worth their salt should have been saying this. Every single one - no exceptions. @DavidLammy deserves so much respect for doing so when others parroted the 'respect for democracy' nonsense.

    MPs are not allowed to accuse eachother of lying but the PM is allowed to hurl the worst abuse imaginable by calling Jeremy Corbyn, "Vladmir". How is this acceptable. Can members start calling eachother Adolf? What is going on @LindsayHoyle_MP

    Sometimes I feel like we’re all being given ‘the public school experience’. The language, the gestures, the sports references, the general rip-roaring, raring to go enthusiasm. Feels infantilising and tone deaf to me. Am I alone?

    Not declaring your property in order to avoid council tax is fraud.
