Punchy start to David Lammy's statement in the Commons on Syria
He says the UK chose not to reengage with Assad when others did
"We said no because Assad is a butcher with the blood of countless innocents on his hands"
"Assad is the rat of Damascus fleeing to Moscow"

It seems the electorate was very decisive in the General Election.
Under-appreciated election fact...
Number of MPs with majority greater than 10,000:
Labour: 115
Lib Dem: 25
Conservative: 5
Green: 2
Plaid: 2

Good news: the Bibby Stockholm is about to be retired from its role as a grotty floating quasi-prison for asylum seekers.
Bad news: they will be dispersed all over the place, but none locally, so any friendships that had managed to form will be torn apart.

British Non Dom’s and foreign billionaires owning our press was bad enough.
Now an American one is dictating what questions the Prime Minister is asked on This Morning.
Insane and hideously depressing state of affairs

Watching debate on assisted dying this morning, just to make it clear as I have done to my constituents - Friday is one vote that will lead to weeks and weeks of scrutiny. Any changes in the future in slippery slope argument would, as it has with abortion law, have to be decided by parliament.

🚨🚨 Unsurprisingly and as predicted, Labour is quitely with incremental steps "rolling back" #brexit with quite noticeable regulatory alignment with the EU. Keep your eyes open particularly on the UK Product Regulation and Metrology Bill: bills.parliament.uk/bills/3752

Very interesting to note the selective reporting the BBC & established press continues to engage in...
I don't remember this level of scrutiny of Boris Johnson, a man who had lied as a journalist, and then made a number of misleading statements, and told lies, as PM.

As expected, tories opened #PMQS with an attack on nurses' pay rises.
The same people who are telling you farming is a vocation, and they should be exempt for inheritance tax.
Will tell you that nursing/care work is a vocation, and they shouldn't expect decent pay rises.
