Thug grabs Sylvia’s mobile phone injuring her wrist. He throws her phone to the floor as if nothing he’d did is wrong. This thug is Tory MP for Wimbledon Stephen Hammond. #ToryDisgrace

Baron Dubs (Labour), "Isn't it a disgrace?" Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative), "The murals were not approved by the Home Office.. It's the correct decision that these facilities have the requisite decoration befitting their purpose." Baron Brownlow of Shurlock Row (Conservative), "I'm quite frankly ashamed at your answer Minister. We're a welcoming country. It is time we show some compassion." Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative), "It is appropriate it is decorated in a manner which reflects its purpose." Lord Coaker (Labour), "Can I ask the Minister to reflect again? Is that really the governments position, that it's perfectly justified to paint over these murals?" Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative) fixes his glasses with his middle finger then says, "We take the welfare of children in our care very seriously.. And the majority passing through it are not young children." Baroness Meacher (Crossbench), "This country is at risk of losing its reputation as country that upholds human rights, in particular, the human rights of children." Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative), "For a number of weeks there were no children in asylum seeking hotels although that is not the case at the moment."

It tells you everything you need to know about Boris Johnson that when asked by @juliamacfarlane about how he handled the serious sexual assault allegations against Chris Pincher, he just rolls his eyes and does a fake snore.

I've been a proud NHS doctor for 15 yrs. Every patient I've ever cared for has needed us - & we've helped, irrespective of whether they can pay. Please ignore those who've cut us to bits & now pretend it's "the model" that's doomed. The model is decency, it's humanity. (2/2)

Now the real reason for Farage's closed account and his refusal to accept an ordinary account have emerged, consider how many, and how quickly, supposed journalists, print and digital, were willing to coordinate their right wing conspiracy without any evidence.

It doesn't take genius guess the Tory plan. Starve our NHS of money for 13 years until there are SEVEN MILLION people on waiting lists, then say "Hey, look, the NHS is failing. We need to privatise it." Our NHS is not failing. It is BEING FAILED by the Conservatives

Stella Creasey - "Contrary to what Braverman has just tried to tell the house, the vast majority of those in the boats, are Iranian & Afghan... & they have an asylum grant rate of 98%... because they're fleeing persecution.... she clearly didn't do her due diligence.. "

Such lamentable ignorance. We don’t have ‘membership’ of the ECHR - it’s a treaty. It protects the rights of everyone within the Council of Europe. All European countries except Belarus & Russia belong to the Council - 46, including the 27 EU ones. Which Rights don’t you like?

Well done,privileges committee for slapping down riffraff Tory MPs & peers: a grim crew of vassal courtiers. And remember, they also rubbished Harman despite No 10 being expressly approving her chairmanship. Cynical & craven. I hope it’s tanked Mogg future bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66051280

“The Lebedev scandal isn’t even Profumo – it’s more serious than that. John Profumo slept with an escort, he didn’t hotfoot it out of the country with a possible stash of Nato documents to the mountain lair of an ex-KGB officer whose son he later ennobled” theguardian.com/politics/202…

Refusing to accept a court judgement and deciding that the best next step for the UK is to consider dropping out of the ECHR and ripping up the GFA are not the actions of a serious MP.

Undoubtedly, the biggest story of the day with possible treason, corruption and a threat to national security. Why has @BBCNews failed to even mention it. We are now no different to Russian State media. #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
