Senior Whitehall official tells @pmdfoster : “Business has pretty much stopped asking for new things now. They just plead for stability. Their only ask is for the government to stop screwing things up any more than they already are.”

@bohomoth @LeeAndersonMP_ If this is true (I'm agnostic to the truth here), then Lee Anderson should be ashamed of himself for taking money off someone that likely brings in less than the £87,000 +expenses Lee is on. Also £5 = approx 16 meals so the best or next best thing would have been to donate it

@globalhlthtwit The only reason she was blocked was because Sajid Javid was pandering to bigots because he wanted to be PM. He let plenty of actual fighters back. We dont get a say but she'll be coming home and by that time intelligence she can offer will be stale as likely will be evidence

@Ian1603 @Mike_Fabricant That will be rectified by a decent government in the future. The Tories hated Bercow as he did his job properly and allowed MPs to hold the government to account and this all happened pre-referendum (just in case you are an economic illiterate that is fanatical about that)
