I‘ve run out of words to describe what’s happening. Just like this Government is running out of Ministers. And our country is running out of patience. It simply can’t go on like this - we need a #GeneralElection

General. Election. Now. Or take to the streets …. Five Prime Ministers in six years. Just fuck off. All of them
Imagine being the poor bastard in charge of the @bp_UK account today. Wonder how many times they're going to be called a vacuous money grabbing cunts. Add one to the count more you vacuous money grabbing cunts. #fuelprice #CostOfGreedCrisis
#BorisJohnsonMustGo No honesty, no integrity, no contrition, the guy is a absolute shambles of a human being.
Why was it "Right to attend a leaving party to say goodbye" but wrong for loved ones to do the same at funerals?

14) @BorisJohnson, PM (h/t @Sandbach): 'I would like to make it absolutely clear that I am not attracted to arcane procedures such as the prorogation of Parliament. As someone who aspires to be the PM of a democratic nation, I believe in finding consensus in the House of Commons'

13) @michaelgove again: 'One reason I argued to leave the EU was to make our parliament stronger, to reinvigorate our democracy. It would be a terrible thing if having said we should have more power in our country & trust our institutions more we shut the doors of parliament'

[Sir John Major, former Tory PM: 'I cannot imagine Mr Disraeli, Mr Gladstone, Mr Churchill or Mrs Thatcher even in their most difficult moments saying let us put parliament aside while I carry through this difficult policy that a part of my party disagrees with.’]

12) @GeorgeFreemanMP, transport minister: 'The idea that a new PM will want, let alone be allowed by backbench MPs or Peers, to prorogue Parliament is bonkers. It would look appalling.'

[Reports tonight say there was no dissent expressed from cabinet ministers. According to the Guardian Amber Rudd was 'more reserved than others' but Nicky Morgan was as 'enthusiastic as Andrea Leadsom' in supporting the plan]

11) @andrealeadsom also said: 'It's certainly not something I would seek to do. I'm passionate about parliament democracy.'
Ben Carpenter retweeted
10) @andrealeadsom, business sec, was asked if she could go along with such a plan. 'No I don’t believe I would and I don’t believe it would happen.'

9) @NickyMorgan01 again: 'Proroguing Parliament is clearly a mad suggestion. You cannot say you are going to take back control … and then go: ‘Oh, by the way, we are just going to shut Parliament down for a couple of months, so we are just going to drift out on a no deal’
Ben Carpenter retweeted
8) @michaelgove, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster: 'I think it will be wrong for many reasons. I think it would not be true to the best traditions of British democracy
Ben Carpenter retweeted
7) @MattHancock yet again: 'A policy on Brexit to prorogue Parliament would mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious party of government'
Ben Carpenter retweeted
6) @AmberRuddHR again: 'I think it’s outrageous to consider proroguing Parliament. We are not Stuart kings.”
Ben Carpenter retweeted
5) @MattHancock again: Proroguing Parliament undermines parliamentary democracy. I rule it out and call on all candidates to do the same
