On train home after late votes on the Trade Bill. I voted tonight to ensure parliamentary scrutiny of all trade deals (wasn't that what "take back control" was about?), to protect food standards and our NHS. Sadly the govt ensured Tory MPs voted down all these amendments. – at Wandsworth, London

The French Minister of the Interior has just tweeted how proud he is to have taken away French people's rights to freely live and work in the rest of Europe
Of course he hasn't. There would be riots, tonight already, in the streets
In the UK, on the other hand ..... 👇
Historic moment just now in House of Commons.
@Conservatives voted to end free movement, take back control and introduce a points-based immigration system.
@UKLabour did not. Their leadership may have changed, but their determination to deny the will of the people hasn't.

Something pathetic about dozens of middle-aged not very bright men and women (Tory MPs) tweeting cut and paste joy and expecting congratulations for taking away the rights of young people to travel, work and live in some of the greatest, safest, most prosperous countries on earth

MPs from all parties tonight tried to transform this destructive Immigration Bill into one which valued human dignity, the needs of our NHS and the interests of British business. Sadly the Government rejected our amendments. But @LibDems will keep fighting for a fairer system

Please don't buy our tea again.
We're taking some time to educate ourselves and plan proper action before we post. We stand against racism.

The real question - why was this statue still on our streets?
#BlackLivesMatter demands we expose these dark sides of British history & consign such monuments to museums that reveal the horror of slavery

This is ridiculous. For the fourth consecutive day @DHSCgovuk has just said it has absolutely no idea how many people are being tested for coronavirus, even though testing is key to lifting the lockdown restrictions, including those for schools!👇

Tory claims that the #WithdrawalAgreementBill respects democracy are a sham when it scraps provisions to give MPs oversight of the Bill
In our parliamentary system, denying parliament a say is not democracy. It’s abuse of power
Matthew Theobald for #Crewe and #Nantwich 🔶️ retweeted
Liberal Democrats will vote against this #WithdrawalAgreementBill because we believe it will be damaging to our economy, our security, our ability to tackle the climate emergency and more. - @Wera_Hobhouse
We will continue to fight for liberal values and human rights.

EU Withdrawal Bill published. MPs approval role in respect of of future relationship and negotiating mandate removed. Protection for workers rights removed. Extensive Henry VIII powers added for Ministers. Big power grab by executive

Lib Dem leader on @CheshireEast Rod Fletcher saying how much Cllr Dorothy Flude cared for her community and that she served on a lot of voluntary groups. "We send our deepest sympathy to her family. We're all going to miss her very badly."

Sorry @bbcnickrobinson on @BBCr4today did I just hear your Tory spokesman interviewee say that they can’t deliver the improved services to the northern constits they’ve just won because of the deficit they’ve “inherited”!! They’ve been in power for the last 9 years!

The Labour post-mortem continues. The party's complicated Brexit position hasn't just caused massive rifts between their candidates and Jeremy Corbyn. Here one former MP takes on her local Labour council leader:

Well said Ed! Last week's result was disappointing for so many voters across the UK, who were left with no real choice under first past the post.
I was happy to back @MakeVotesMatter, and @LibDems will continue to fight for a system in which there are no wasted votes.
"3.7 million people voted for us last Thursday. Under a proportional voting system we would now easily be the 3rd largest party in this house, with 70 MPs." @EdwardJDavey
MPs who jeer at remarks like this are really jeering at the voters silenced by our broken electoral system.

It has taken us only 24hrs into a #ToryGovt & the #NHSBetrayal has begun.
#ToryMP #DamianGreen saying on LBC that we all need to begin paying towards an insurance style system for our healthcare.
Just 24hrs in & the #NHS is under threat!

Both @BorisJohnson and @jeremycorbyn have led their parties to the extremes.
Neither deserve to be Prime Minister. Don’t let them let you down again.
Vote @LibDems tomorrow to bring back honesty, common sense, and decency to politics.
