Official notice that Cabinet intends to declare part of the @Guildhallmuseum “surplus” and flog it. Note the use of the phrase “could be invested” in enhancing what’s left of museum, not “will be”. Backpedalling from my Tory opposite number cannot disguise truth. #RochesterWest

Really positive response on the doorstep this evening. Good to me residents and finding out their issues. #LabourDoorstep #MattNewmanforSkellingthorpe #matthewnewman

All those whipping up hatred & intolerance in politics need to reflect on this. https://t.co/uZr9vhtjTR

So disappointed that Conservative rebels peeled off at last minute on having a ‘meaningful vote’ on EU deal. Tory government railroading this through makes a complete mockery of parliamentary democracy.

[Keep Me Posted @KeepMePostedUK]

Good to see Martin today to plan our meeting with the Consumer Affairs Minister which is taking place next week. Martin is a good friend to the @KeepMePostedUK campaign and believes consumers should have the right to choose #paperbills and #paperstatements

- Rebel MP: An MP who defies the party whip & votes against their party.

- Tory Rebel MP: An MP who tweets that they are a rebel, or gives a teary speech, only to vote with Theresa May when it matters. They live in marginal seats & hope their voters won't notice their hypocrisy.

David Liddington smirking to Mundell after filibustering out any debate on the devolution amendments to the #Brexit bill.

Absolutely disgusting.

[Bevan Boy 💚 @mac123_m]

Idiot. Corbyn voted with 15 amendments. You are totally deluded. Look at the Tories. Look at your Tory "rebel" mates. You #FBPE loons need certifying. https://t.co/Hg1lQAHeFJ

@SocialistVoice Now you know how the 1950s Women feel who have worked for 45+ and just near retiring age they slap six years on with no notice or phased implementation

Anger as thousands of DWP staff will not receive their pay rise in July because Esther McVey and the Treasury have not yet authorised it

PCS Union has reacted angrily, threatening industrial action

Today at Westminster all the assurances and promises made by the Secretary of State for Scotland on previous occasions that there would be sufficient time to debate Clause 11 and new Clause 15 re legislative consent,shamefully have proven to be false

He should go!

[Sarah Hacker @SarahHacker_rdg]

Away from home tonight for a @unitetheunion Finance and Legal NISC. Do I watch the History of Farming on @BBCFOUR with many an #absoluteunit or The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? Drawn to both.....

[Co-operative Party @CoopParty]

'It is clear that co-operatives and co-operation are important tools for us in delivering a world for the many and not the few', says @PreetKGillMP, writing to mark 12 months since she was elected a Labour & Co-operative MP at #GE2017 https://t.co/oN4Jnf9x3Z

Yet another academy trust is closed. Sadly another indication that involvement of a university or college doesn't make any difference. The academy policy is a juggernaut that creates a mess no matter who's pressured into joining the MAT.

Oh dear. It looks like Theresa May has just screwed the Tory rebels over. Expect all hell to break loose shortly. #EUWithdrawalBill
