We won’t be tweeting further for now. But we have not lost our belief in the European project & the Christian vision that inspired it. One day, God willing, there may be a change of heart in the nation. Who knows?

[Cardinal Nichols @CardinalNichols]

Let us walk this week together with our faces always turned to the Father & with Jesus his beloved Son who shows us the way, who is with us in every dark valley, who carries us in the weight of his cross & frees us by the shedding of his blood. https://t.co/ndXNtRgTfR #PalmSunday

Not angry, simply disappointed in those elected members who are running scared of their party whips. Laughable to claim that Parliament is sovereign when it is the Executive that reigns. https://t.co/qN6rV16vmT

[Michael Sadgrove 🇪🇺 @MichaelSadgrove]

Some of the UK’s best minds could not move Parliament to grasp hold of its own authority. No point in getting angry. Will tweet about soft toys & sunsets instead. #Governance #Brexit

[Michael Sadgrove 🇪🇺 @MichaelSadgrove]

Don't get it. Why would giving Parliament a #meaningfulvote constrain the PM's #Brexit negotiations? HOL amendment isn't about Brexit but good governance.

A "national calamity". Lord Hailsham on #Brexit.

We hate relentless negativity. But #Brexit has brought it upon us all who care about the integrity in public life, let alone the nation’s future. If there’s good news in any of this, we’d like to know. https://t.co/78bGhIKTxI

If she says so.... We couldn't possibly comment. https://t.co/x9XlYvbIx6

[Andrea Leadsom @andrealeadsom]

As we leave the European Union and stop paying significant annual subscriptions to Brussels, we will have more money to spend on priorities such as the NHS. 💕

‘Brexit dividend,’ hard Brexit, double-crossing of Dominic Grieve: far from being a force of sense & moderation, Theresa May is the Anthony Eden of Brexit, driving the wrong policy in a bitterly partisan way, undermining the national interest. It will end similarly

[Christians 4 Europe #FBPE @Xians4EU]

“Slavery clause: whatever the government does in January, however potentially catastrophic for my constituents & my country, I sign in blood that I will follow over the edge of the cliff. That I am not prepared to do.” #DominicGrieve

It would be good to think that the North East was changing its mind. But NE 6th formers I’ve met are majority Remainers, & angry to have been denied a Referendum vote. #Brexit https://t.co/n5d6qFOQgr

“When there was a campaign for leave or remain, nobody was talking about the issues these mixed families would face.” #Brexit https://t.co/kUSDhddY4J

[Michael Sadgrove 🇪🇺 @MichaelSadgrove]

“The government now seems to have divided into contradicting power bases that cannot deliver on assurances given to backbenchers.”
Courteous, but no disguising the frustration. When a Tory MP writes like this, the PM should be deeply worried. https://t.co/KjKwJsINLj

[Michael Sadgrove 🇪🇺 @MichaelSadgrove]

There is no #Brexit dividend. On the contrary. https://t.co/R6aBQ0Y8f1

[Christians 4 Europe #FBPE @Xians4EU]

Today is #TaxJusticeSunday which makes the irony all the more pointed. The #NHS should be funded by us all, not by any #Brexit dividend there may be. #ChurchActionForTaxJustice @Oikoumene https://t.co/3xBtKbZWuu

[Michael Sadgrove 🇪🇺 @MichaelSadgrove]

Everyone will welcome much-needed funding for the NHS. But it didn't have to be an #EU either-or. #Brexit

[Christians 4 Europe #FBPE @Xians4EU]

“It is sickening if this money is being linked to #Brexit. It has nothing to do with it. Brexit makes us less able to fund the #NHS because it hits the economy.” This from a Conservative MP.

[Christians 4 Europe #FBPE @Xians4EU]

Announced with consummate timing. Welcome back to the #Brexit bus! https://t.co/3xBtKbZWuu

“It is a matter of patriotic duty to take out a legally binding insurance policy, protecting the country against a foreseeable catastrophe.” #Brexit https://t.co/BGqJv13tbv

Why would the UK not want to be part of the EU’s enhanced security plans? Big economies of scale would follow. #Brexit https://t.co/5CC2Q1xZLG
