1) Here is Bernard Jenkin accusing me of making up stories And here is Bernard Jenkin threatening to withdraw his support from his own government in a Tory WhatsApp group yesterday 
2) One member of the ERG I spoke to on Friday was involved in a phone call involving at least three people. Is that a conference call?
3) The discussions involved when and how to vote against their own government to demonstrate the strength of the ERG. The budget votes were targeted since they are important and have to happen to keep the money flowing
4) I have a conversation with one individual on tape. Perhaps Bernard would like me to release it
5) The whatsapp group yesterday was full of furious eurosceptics who are angry that No10 is reaching out to Labour. The PM has done it again this morning on the front of the Observer
6) All 18 Cabinet ministers I spoke to at Tory conference think she will get a deal and get it though. Feels like the ERG are on the back foot.
7) I don’t EVER make it up. The antics of this government and its backbenchers mean there is never any need to do so
