Respect to @AlbertoCostaMP . Instead of sacking him the PM should promote him for standing up for the rights of over 3.5 million EU citizens in the UK and over 1 million Britons living in EU countries!

We CAN stop this Tory Brexit but, ultimately, it should be for the people to decide. A large majority of @UKLabour members, supporters and voters not only want a #PeoplesVote but to change our country IN the EU. If the party sets its face against this, it will never be forgiven.

There’s no time to mess about. People need a clear alternative to the chaos of the main parties: - a #PeoplesVote ; - Remain on the ballot; and, - all our MPs supporting it, ...because no-one voted for this mess. No ifs or buts. No constructive ambiguity. The @TheIndGroup position

We refuse to accept that Britain will always be saddled with the same old, tired politics. When politics has failed before, the British people have demanded better. The time has come to renew our politics once again. Join us:

Boris Johnson is working to the Trump playbook - the more he is attacked for his islamophobia and prejudice the more popular he becomes with the dwindling Tory membership who, absent a general election, will pick the next PM. UK politics is in a very dark place indeed.

After the pathetic attempted hatchet job by the Daily Mail on @Anna_Soubry for challenging Tory Brextremists, suprise suprise, I hear the Daily Telegraph are following suit tomorrow. The Brextremists and their allies in the Tory media want to muzzle us -we will NOT be silenced /1

Watching #Marr and listening to a Prime Minister with her head in the sand and in complete denial about an NHS crisis of the Tories making. They simply refuse to acknowledge any responsibility at all for what is happening. Utterly shameful.

BREAKING: The Home Secretary has just formally confirmed to me in the @HouseofCommons that the Govt has dumped its net migration target of the ‘tens of thousands’ AND there will be no limit on the number of international students coming to the UK. Good.

Boris Johnson is trying to hoodwink the British people on NHS funding. £1.8 billion is a fraction of the £18 billion - £350 million a week - he promised on his big red bus in 2016, and the British people will not be fooled.

Ken Clarke currently destroying his Government’s case for a hard Brexit in the Commons. Tory MPs all looking glum as he talks on the backbenches. Universities Minister Jo Johnson very gently nodding in agreement throughout the speech.

It is deeply disappointing to hear a Labour Shadow Cabinet member parroting the claims made by Nigel Farage and others that there will be civil disobedience if there is a #PeoplesVote . We are the Labour Party not UKIP. /1

The only people to blame if there's a No Deal Brexit are this government and the Brexiteers who promised the world in the referendum and then walked off the stage when confronted with reality in the negotiations.

The PM reiterates we will leave the Single Market and Customs Union as if she won a majority for that position at last year's General Election - she did not and has no majority. Its almost as if the 2017 election did not happen. This is proper head in the sand stuff

“I have a record of campaigning against prejudice” says the PM on #Marr . This is a lie and he knows it. The litany of offensive things he has said about black people, Muslim people, women, etc speaks for itself. He is treating the public like fools.
