Such a vile tweet, which implies that you cannot be both Muslim and British/English.

This tweet is reported to @Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling and to @HoCStandards.
@Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling @HoCStandards .@Mike_Fabricant Image
@Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling @HoCStandards @Mike_Fabricant To be scrupulously fair, Fabricant did also tweet as below a little later.

But the tweet at the head of this short thread has not been deleted, or apologised for. Image
@Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling @HoCStandards @Mike_Fabricant I see that @Mike_Fabricant has now deleted the offending tweet, a screenshot copy of which resides above in the second tweet of this thread.

And has replaced it with the tweet below.

Good. Calling out casual racism sometimes works. Image

No.

@pritipatel is - and has been found to be - a bully.

On her public utterances alone, "kind" is the last word anyone would apply to her.

@TomTugendhat used to be so much better than this feeble submission to all things neo-Tory.

What happened to him?
@pritipatel @TomTugendhat The only reason Patel may have some support across parts of the Tory bedrock vote, despite her incompetence and bullying, is that her unremitting xenophobia appeals to part of that increasingly UKIPified constituency.

@pritipatel @TomTugendhat And, after her frankly subversive Israel meetings, she should never have been appointed to a senior or indeed any govt post.

The only reason she was, was her hardline Brexiter credentials.

Mr Tugendhat does himself no favours in supporting her.

.@LindsayHoyle_MP now has the summer to contemplate what the future for HoC is to be, and what he wants as his legacy as Speaker.

Options:

1) HoC becomes a fossilised institution, honoured in the breach by a rampantly authoritarian Tory government....

[1/?]
@LindsayHoyle_MP ...Gradually, HoC offers less and less scrutiny over runaway Executive power-grabbing.

To achieve this, Sir Lindsay needs to do... precisely nothing. Carry on turning the creaking Parliamentary cogs, as if nothing were wrong.

[2/?]
@LindsayHoyle_MP Option 2) HoC revivifies itself as a (even, the) wellspring of democracy in our country.

To achieve this, Sir Lindsay will need to be bold. With others, he will have to find new ways of working...

[3/?]

Why is Farage breaking the law by not self-quarantining after his trip to the US?

@metpoliceuk @kent_police
@metpoliceuk @kent_police For clarity, here is the current position on self-quarantining on a return to England.

@metpoliceuk @kent_police Here is Farage in US on 20 June.

Looks like he may have been in Florida when he posted that tweet.

That's a 5 hour time difference.

So, when he posted at 15h15 local time, it was 20h15 in the UK.

20h15, 20 June <--> 13h23, 4 July is less than 14 days.

Very similar wording, half an hour apart, @MPritchardUK and @pauljholmes.

As @MissLauraMarcus points out, is there a form of words going round?

WhatApp? CCHQ? Would either of you like to clarify?
@MPritchardUK @pauljholmes @MissLauraMarcus I see @rowenamason has picked this up.

Looks like a holding operation to some.

"Flannel", it's described as.

Can't you actually say what *you* think?

@MPritchardUK @pauljholmes @MissLauraMarcus @rowenamason And now this is being picked up by @mrjamesob.

Plagiarism or shared playbook, rumbled.

.@michaelgove said on #PPE, responding to @PeteWishart:

"The stockpile that we had before this pandemic was explicitly designed in acc with the advice from... #NERVTAG, and ofc it was specifically for a 'flu pandemic..."

This does not accord with #Panorama last night.

[00:38]
@michaelgove @PeteWishart For clarity, this is how the Guardian live feed today reports @michaelgove's comments ⤵
@michaelgove @PeteWishart PS: I hope @michaelgove (and @jeremy_hunt, on whose watch it was) are absolutely bricking it, when they think of the likely findings of the eventual judge-led public enquiry on #coronavirusuk and on the (non-)provision of #PPE.

Today's Bingham Lecture: John Bercow, HoC Speaker: themes:

1) Revival of HoC as, not a one-off #Brexit product, but part of a wider renewal of the legislature.

2) What is (& is not) appropriate response to #BennAct?

3) In light of Brexit, a codified Constitution?

[01:13]
2/n
Bercow on Standing Order 14 [suspension of Govt control of order paper]:

"The Standing Orders are not the owned possessions of the Executive...

[They] "are the property of" the House of Commons.

They "can be changed or suspended if the House wills it".

[01:08]
3/n
Bercow:

"What conceivable moral force do public's elected reps have... in prosecuting with greater vigour and relentlessness the fight against knife crime... if we are to treat... of the proposition that it might be in order... to disregard a law enacted by Parl?"
