can't experience it but I can listen and learn - education in process.

I am very tired of politicians trying to show that they're 'tough enough'. I want ones that show they're thoughtful enough.

Stay indoors. Drink lots of water. Don't colonise.

@hocwatch @PennyMordaunt ah yes thank you - only marginally less ridiculous than what I heard but clarification appreciated.

[Rachel Douglas @Dougers211]

Did @PennyMordaunt just say she is biologically female and if she had a *vasectomy* she would still be a woman? #mixedsignals #LeadershipDebate

[Rachel Douglas @Dougers211]

@thequothe1 @PennyMordaunt OK so I misheard the actual inane comment - thanks for the clarification.

Exclusive: A plan to create 39 new Tory-supporting lords as a matter of urgency, to push through contentious legislation, has been proposed by the most influential political lobby group that advises the prime minister. Political Editor @Peston reports. https://t.co/Jxz27D2QPA

"I have always acted with honesty and integrity," says Liz Truss, who was privately told that her Brexit trade deal with New Zealand would hurt UK farmers and then publicly claimed the opposite. https://t.co/E6WipdNLvS

Sunak is so lightweight he'd float away if you farted near him.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Debate setting seems to favour those willing to boldly answer the question.

E.g. “Is Boris Johnson honest?”

Badenoch: “Sometimes”
Tugendhat: “No”

The others… something something must restore trust but I daren’t criticise him. #C4LeaderDebate

It's great that the British are discovering how difficult it is to get rid of British rule

[Ed Balls @edballs]

You can stay on as caretaker leader of a party while that party chooses a new leader. But you can't stay on as caretaker Prime Minister when you are leaving because you clearly can't command a majority in the House of Commons. That would wrong, unstable and dangerous.

[Andy Goddard @SoundOfAGoddard]

Absolutely incredible line on LBC from a caller.

“The prospect of a new conservative PM is like seeing a menu of diseases and having your dad order for you”

[David Baddiel @Baddiel]

I think many people will be feeling the same thing at this deeply historical moment, which is FFS do the resignation speech soon as I have to go out later this morning and I really want to sit here making fun of it.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Good riddance to the most dishonest, incompetent and amoral Prime Minister in modern British history. He should never have been allowed to dishonour Number 10. Now it's time to boot his Party of acolytes and sycophants out of power and give Britain a fresh start.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: "I shall not serve under another Prime Minister"

Another fantastic reason for Johnson to just go

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

Imagine being a Minister and not planning to resign today.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

At some point in the next few weeks another Conservative will probably become PM. They will expect us to respect their judgement, despite them knowing all about Mr Johnson’s character yet supporting him in power for 3 years. Good luck with that.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

This isn't Conservative MPs suddenly realising the person they made Prime Minister is an amoral, lying, arrogant, nasty piece of work.

It's Conservative MPs realising that their own political careers are at risk unless they abandon him.

It's naked self-interest, nothing more.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

It’s a serious misrepresentation of our democratic system for PM to keep referring to his personal mandate - our system doesn’t confer such a thing so he doesn’t have one. He’s not a president. He’s PM because he leads party with most MPs. He’s dependent on them & they’ve turned
