The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

Wow. He’s completely together, sorted & clear. Articulate, compassionate, empathetic & at peace. It’s incredible to watch. The maddest thing is that the more he’s boiling your piss, the more you’d benefit from the sort of therapy that’s set him so free. Not even missing Midsomer!

This might be the most compelling & convincing critique of British media ever provided by someone who really knows what it’s like to be in their jaws. Fascinating & tragic that they have all the papers on display in every palace every day. No wonder they’re so obsessed by it.

NEW: Sources close to Privileges Committee say evidence is so damning that Boris Johnson could be 'gone by Christmas' if he returns. One Tory MP tells me any attempt to kill the inquiry could 'bring down the govt'. Yet momentum builds behind Johnson. itv.com/news/2022-10-21/damn…

So Liz Truss is our new PM, same as the old one. Her speech was utterly cringe-making. Bring on a General Election now and see this shambles of a government kicked into touch!

Wow. What's important about this result, apart from the terrible numbers, is the fact that all of his supporters now have to lie & dissemble on a scale that many have so far managed to avoid. @Simonhartmp providing an early & profoundly humiliating illustration of this point...

Wow.. if this is true, Boris could actually lose.
Rebel ringleaders are telling MPs they have north of 150 votes against the PM ahead of tonight. That's just 30 shy of the 180 needed to oust him, with just three hours to go...

Seems the Queen’s “renewed sense of togetherness” jubilee message didn’t reach the Conservative Party.

The Conservative party in open civil war. @NadineDorries takes aim @Jeremy_Hunt after former health sec and Johnson 2019 challenger says it’s time for change
Replying to @NadineDorries
3/4 Your pandemic preparation during six years as health secretary was found wanting and inadequate.Your duplicity right now in destabilising the party and country to serve your own personal ambition, more so.

Wonder which MPs accused of sexual crimes will be given the whip back in this confidence vote.

I am not sure I have ever witnessed such a public personal attack by a serving minister on a senior backbencher, or at least not blue on blue. @NadineDorries on @Jeremy_Hunt shows quite how disunited is the Tory Party
1/4 On afternoon of 23rd July 2020 when I was health minister you telephoned me to tell me that we had to handle the pandemic following the example set by the East/China. That people testing + should be removed from their homes and placed into isolation hotels for two weeks.

The PM spent just 27 minutes trying to persuade his backbenchers not to throw him out. I am slightly surprised the meeting wasn't longer.
