@S_A_Russell So happy for you Sarah, what a fabulous achievement. All the very best for your future in Parliament.

@docmartincohen @campbellclaret @andwarn Yeah they’d not be profligate with their own (not so) hard earned cash but they are happy to splash ours about without prudence.

Just so we are all clear on this below is a list of Lord’s amendments rejected by this Government under whip:

Sold my business (10 hour stressful days 7 days a week) to retire early. Poorer financially but mentally so much happier and healthier. Doing lots of voluntary and charity work, playing golf and walking my dog.

@UKAndNIasOne @SayeedaWarsi Love the idea of ‘virtual signalling’ well it gave me a laugh on a dull Tuesday, thanks. Cracks me up that current flag bashers see arch Tory Ken Clarke as a “lefty”. Would Maggie the Milk Snatcher be “woke” now?

@AdamRutherford Geez!!!! Tripe and onions????? Don’t even want to know what that pink gelatinous stuff is. Presidents get assassinated don’t they? (not volunteering nor advocating this outcome or anything)

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.

It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.

If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.

Did you know about it? No?

A thread 🧵

@guardian decided to post an incredibly one sided story of PAs at Royal Berkshire NHS Trust. It didn't seek comment from an organisation that has collected concerns on PAs for months. I have responded below:

@RichardJMurphy Please everyone start addressing her as: “Victoria Atkins MP ex-Junior Barrister (or barrister in training as I like to call her)”

@liedowntickle @smileyplankton @RevRichardColes Thank you for an actual out loud laugh this morning.

[Sarah Staines @sarahtouchstone]

@RevRichardColes Jacques Vert or Betty Barclay (I still have some of my 92 year old Ma’s evening frocks) or more likely something made by a local dressmaker (unique - which was very important).

[Sarah Staines @sarahtouchstone]

@RSPBEngland Unnecessary to apologise when you spoke the truth. Certainly made more PR noise than a “measured” response. Hooray!

How to make £493,964,000 in just 8 hours 30 minutes

Easy, get govt to bin nutrient neutrality laws for house builders exactly what the likes of Persimmon PLC, Barrat Developments PLC and Taylor Wimpey PLC did this morning & that's exactly how much richer they are this afternoon.

Come on @Channel4News why are you swallowing Govt spin? Our Judges already have the power to order defendants to attend their sentencing hearing.

Braverman, "We've just recruited 20,000 additional police officers"

Secker, "You recruited 3,000 additional officers because you lost 20,000 since 2010"

Braverman, "That's wrong. We have a record number of police officers, ever"

Secker, "You've got 149,000 officers at the moment. There were 146,000 in 2010. So absolutely, you have got 3,000 more officers"

Braverman, "Yeah, we've got a record number of police officers, ever in the history of policing."

@BTO_Scotland @BBCSpringwatch @RSPBScotland Corncrake ran out in front of us on Lewis (luckily managed to miss squishing it!) Drove round the corner to find half a dozen men with binoculars and cameras on tripods waiting to see this very bird who had been heard calling earlier from nearby bushes. No photos!
