Wow. Extraordinary interview with Conservative MP Dominic Grieve on report Boris Johnson has blocked on Russian interference. ‘What Number 10 has said is not true. It’s a lie’

[Kate Figes @KateFiges]

This is indeed one of the most inspiring speeches ever @AlexBorstein and as another granddaughter of a holocaust survivor who dared to step out of line I now tell myself the same through cancer

[Robert Harris @Robert___Harris]

Philip Hammond, ex-Chancellor, seriously suggests in today’s Times that one reason the Prime Minister may want a hard Brexit is so that his backers in the City don’t lose billions — corruption on a scale I wouldn’t dare put in fiction

[Kate Figes @KateFiges]

Why are we not more concerned with the financial links?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

What I don’t understand is why serious financial journalists have not even attempted proper investigation of this. It’s a matter of public record that a) Johnson backed by hedge fund owners & b) same funds donated to Vote Leave & made billions on Brexit

[Kate Figes @KateFiges]

Amazing idea and brilliantly accomplished- art triumphs

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Public service announcement. Tweeting an article & writing it *are not the same*. Have we cleared that one up? Jolly good. So here's the brilliant Bloomberg investigation on £££ made in Brexit from last year. Including 'questions still to answer' Farage...

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Oh. You’re shocked by that? well here’s Farage’s patriotically distraught face on the night of the Brexit vote as the pound plummeted

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Oh. You’re shocked by that? Watch this. This is one of Johnson’s donors. Who also backed Vote Leave. Talking about ‘the morning that has gold in its mouth’ when he woke up £220million richer on June 24

[Kirsty Lang @thatkirstylang]

I remember Yugoslavia before war broke out, it began with #referendums, talk of #sovereignty, then demonisation of the other, the steady destruction of the middle ground. When @MishaGlenny and I made a radio doc warning of war. Our BBC bosses accused us of exaggerating. If only

This is a full scale revolution by Dominic Cummings, who literally holds Parliament in contempt. Today was just the beginning, according to @alexwickham Here’s what could be next:

[Kate Figes @KateFiges]

Thank you so much - this means a lot to me and good luck with the times ahead

[Kate Figes @KateFiges]

@British_Airways increasingly frustrated by not being able to contact you re booking oxygen on board a BA flight when I have been told I can. Please give me a contact number. I am immuno compromised

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

Now is the time to remember Boris Johnson gets paid £5,200 a week by The Daily Telegraph.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

As Mayor of London you claimed legacy projects from your predecessor as your own, you squandered millions of pounds on a Garden Bridge that was never built, millions on a cable car that was hardly used and bought a water cannon that couldn’t be used.

The best bit of tonight’s #LineOfDuty was Arnott and Fleming’s ABBA impression.
