If you're wondering why getting a trade deal with India is so important, it's simple - Brexit has nothing to show for itself. No big trade deal with the US, no "Commonwealth coming together in trade". India is the last hope of trying to rescue Brexit from the bin fire.

Oooph. Tory MP William Wragg: "I cannot reconcile myself to the PM's continued leadership of our country and the Conservative party."

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Former Solicitor General Edward Garnier (Conservative) tells Today: “You can’t have a prime minister who is in charge of the govt who has…broken the law, fined…continuing in office. But it’s worse because it would appear that…he has not been entirely candid with the Commons.”

BREAKING: The House of Commons agrees to hold an investigation into Boris Johnson’s parliamentary conduct which the motion states “appear[s] to amount to misleading the House."

Starmer continuing his good form at #PMQs. Cites resignations of Allegra Stratton, Neil Ferguson, Matt Hancock. ‘Why does the prime minister think everyone else’s actions have consequences except his own?’

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

I’m old enough to remember when the Met couldn’t find any evidence to suggest there were parties in Downing Street during lockdown

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

Something shifted for Tory MPs this week, we're starting to see it play out in public. Steve Baker - who really struggled listening to Keir Starmer's emotional speech on Tuesday - calls on the PM to resign.

Jess Phillips: I could have had a baby in the time it's taken for the apology to come. And it would have been less painful.

Boris Johnson getting a bit shirty with Beth Rigby in interview in India.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

If this motion passes - and if Conservative MPs are being sent home, it surely will - then the Government will have accepted a course of action which could lead to there being a recall petition in the PM’s constituency and the PM then losing his seat. Is this the end game…?

[Professor Catherine Loveday 💙 @CathLoveday]

An open return train ticket to Darlington yesterday for two of us would have cost £492. We did it for £22 in our electric car. I reckon it would have been around £70 in a petrol car. For so many reasons, surely something needs to be done about these train costs?

[Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire]

Boris Johnson becomes the first PM to be investigated by the Commons Privileges Committee into whether he misled MPs over partygate or not

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Hope someone travelling with Johnson read my diaries. India trip when we found surveillance bugs behind a painting in the hotel bedroom … just sayin’ … probably best he keeps his thoughts to himself. I’m sure he might be in rant mode by now …

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I see that a famously apolitical barrister is once again offering his neutral expert view on criminal law - which just so happens (as always) to exonerate the government - while omitting to mention that he is a Conservative counsellor and does not specialise in criminal law.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

So Jacob Rees-Mogg's shameful attempt to portray the concerns of bereaved covid families as 'froth' proves every bit as successful as Jacob Rees-Mogg's shameful attempt to save Owen Paterson's career.

[Brendan May @bmay]

I love how we need a committee to decide if Boris Johnson misled Parliament when he was filmed doing it and we all watched it live.

[Adam Boulton @adamboultonTABB]

There is just a hint in the air that the wheels may be falling off the B Johnson juggernaut

[Lucy Fisher @LOS_Fisher]

👀 Jacob Rees-Mogg conducted a personal headcount of officials in the office today at 100 Parliament Street, says a mole.

It’s sparked resentment among civil servants. One says: ‘£71k a year on top
of his MP salary & he has time to do that. Who’s really redundant in the system?’

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Keir Starmer on Conservative ministers comparing Boris Johnson’s Partygate fine to a speeding ticket:

"As it happens the last minister who got aspeeding ticket and then lied about it ended up in prison. And I know about it because I prosecuted him."

[Normal Island News @NormalIslandNws]

BREAKING: Boris Johnson loses cool with a TV reporter and insists he has "nothing to hide" as he hides in India on the other side of the world x
