Pleased to be at @ukonward to hear my old sparring partner @DavidGauke talk about populism. Strange to hear a pitch from a conservative for resisting it feel so radical, so out of step with the Zeitgeist. #GaukePopulism
He's pressing the right buttons about the dangers of populism - but it's rather bloodless. To win the right to be heard, One Nation Tories must reflect more honestly on how we got here. If they don't, they sound too much like vigorous defenders of the status quo. #GaukePopulism
Bizarrely David Davis has just made this exact point. #GaukePopulism
Gauke rules out Tory leadership bid: "My position is to resist the clamour to stand - and I remain very confident that my resistance will be greater than any clamour" 
Gauke aims a passing swipe at Nigel Farage, referring to Brexit Party "currently riding high in the opinion polls" under a leader who has "stood unsuccessfully for parliament seven times"
Gauke: "It should concern us all that Tommy Robinson has twice as many Facebook followers as the Prime Minister"
