Now we discover Boris Johnson not only broke the law and lied about it, but tried to hide the whole Sue Gray report. Yet Tory MPs still continue to let him stay in Number 10. They are taking the British people for fools.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Um. I *think* this tells us more that the UK is where most of Putin’s billionaires were enabled to safely put their money in the first place….

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Lots of BoJo acolytes banging on with ‘why can’t people see these people leaving number 10 is a GOOD thing, it���s what Boris promised…!’ Answer: because nobody normal ever thought the staff were the problem. It the boss.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Oil and gas companies like Shell are raking in billions.

Money taken directly from millions of people being pushed into poverty and given to wealthy fat cats.

We need a Windfall Tax on these ludicrous profits so we can give people the support they need: https://t.co/3ReBtvVHer

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Disappointing from Sunak. Shell made £4.3 billion profit. A windfall tax on the oil and gas companies would wipe out these crippling energy price rises. And instead of non-existent levelling up, how about building dozens of tidal schemes so we aren’t reliant on fossils fuels?

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

£500,000 of taxpayer’s money wasted. 500 tonnes of carbon burned.

Once again we see just how out of touch this Conservative government truly is. ✈️🇦🇺⬇️

[James MacCleary MP @JamesMacCleary]

Johnson has once again been caught out lying to parliament. Brave Afghans who had risked their lives to support British troops were being hunted and killed by the Taliban. They were begging for help. Once again Johnson put headlines ahead people's lives. #JohnsonOut #Afghanistan

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

PMQs shows us the Tory strategy now: the PM hopes he can bluster for longer than people remain angry. But people won’t forget that they couldn’t see mum when she died, cancelled their child’s birthday party or spent Christmas alone…while he mocked them and continues to do so.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Resign.

New jobs tax
More red tape
Supply chain chaos

When Boris Johnson said he was going to F**k business, he really meant it.

[European Movement UK @euromove]

Brexit has turned many people's lives upside down.

We asked the Prime Minister for pragmatic solutions. Lord Frost's pathetic response? "People in Britain are waking up the opportunities of leaving the EU".

What planet is he living on? 🌍 🚀

[Simon Dodd @SJDodd13]

The Home Secretary is detaining EU citizens in squalid conditions. Sign the open letter to Priti Patel. Call on her to right this shameful injustice.  https://t.co/vbYbuiKHBt

[Simon Dodd @SJDodd13]

We must speak out against the detention and deportation of EU citizens. Sign @euromove's petition calling on the government to uphold citizens' rights after #Brexit: https://t.co/HMy4HlZ5SN

[Portsmouth Lib Dems 🔶️ @portsmouthld]

It's a matter of public record that your councillors did vote with the Conservatives against our budget that put in an extra £2.8m for Adult Care Services (not cuts) and an extra £3.5m for classrooms. (We also offered before the budget to talk, Labour didn't respond!).
