One Conservative MP forcefully dismissing the Home Secretary’s claim that the delays in Dover were not due to Brexit.

[@PJamesLibDem @pjameslibdem]

This is why there are problems at Dover: FT December 2020. You can’t have your cake and eat it #Tories. This was a purely political decision, not practical, and is now coming back to bite you. Unfortunately travellers and residents are suffering once again. Another #owngoal

@pjameslibdem @mrjamesob This Government always blames others and is in complete denial about its own incompetence.

[Simon Jones @SimonJonesNews]

Downing Street has acknowledged that 'new processes' introduced following Brexit contributed to the problems at Dover at the weekend. Yesterday, the Home Secretary said Brexit was not to blame.

@SarahKLweather @Yfielding @MattRichardson3 @knackeredmutha @MastermindQuiz @CliveMyrieBBC @HatTrickProd Stunning. Well done!

Don’t worry if your A level results are disappointing. I got a C and 2 Us and I’m currently holidaying on this boat.

@StenaLine Thank you. It would be helpful if @Stenaline posted up-to-date information on website instead of advising that the service is running "on time".

[Rob Bird @RobHBird]

@StenaLine Can we have information on delay to tonight's Rosslare - Fishguard sailing? When will boarding commence?

[Cllr Ben J Martin @BenMartin_LD]

This morning I spoke to ITV Meridian following Conservative controlled KCC’s decision yesterday to end the Kent Homeless Connect service from September.

[Cllr Ben J Martin @BenMartin_LD]

KCC’s proposed cut to homeless services in Kent is indefensible. The Kent Homeless Connect service is a vital life line for some of the most vulnerable in society. It acts as a prevention service for Adult Social care.

Sue Gray says she is "extremely limited" in what she can say about 12 events in Downing Street but has also made it very clear that when she is in a position to set out the factual details what she will say will be damning.

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

Starmer - dignified and devastating.
May - dignified and devastating.
Johnson - disgraceful.

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

It appears that the PM’s understanding of the Sue Gray report is no better than his understanding of COVID regulations.

[Dick Newby @RichardNewby3]

Minister in Lords admits that developer levy to fund cladding defects will be used to reimburse Gvt for its existing inadequate £5bn commitment. Not a single additional leaseholder will benefit from it. This is really disgraceful. @EOCS_Official
