The Conservative Party is yet again fighting like rats in a sack. If you want to be part of making sure they have no chance at the next election please join my campaign to be the first non-Tory elected in South Devon for over 100 years.

Never before has a British Prime Minister treated parliament and the public with such contempt. He believed he was above the law.
Anthony Mangnall must vote to censure Boris Johnson. Anything less would be an insult to bereaved families across south Devon.

It’s been so long since she visited Westminster that she’s forgotten there has to be an election before he becomes an MP. Bless. She really needs to go now.

Rt Hon Nadine Dorries: My family and I are thrilled that our great friend @Fest4BedsPCC was selected tonight to become the next MP for MidBedfordshire.
He is one of the best people I know. Genuine, principled with a track record of delivery. He will make an amazing MP. Congratulations Festus! https://t.co/8TbpDkZexu

So pleased to see the committee of which I used to be a part succeeded in keeping the EU’s nature restoration law alive.
Thank you to all my former @RenewEurope colleagues, and others, who opposed this attempt by the right of centre EPP group.

Jack Parrock: Massive cheers from half of the European Parliament's ENVI committee who managed to get exactly the 44 of 88 votes needed to prevent an EPP-led plan to take the EU's Nature Restoration Law off the table.
The proposal survives.
High drama in EU politics today. https://t.co/TUpTMCJxxg

When Boris Johnson was a journalist, he got fired twice for lying.
So he entered politics, where he literally lied to Queen & country, and then got fired AGAIN for lying...
And the Daily Mail thought:
"That's EXACTLY the kind of journalist we want informing our readers". https://t.co/TyE8Gggaap

Spot on from Andrew Rawnsley
If there were any sincerity to his pledges to restore accountability and integrity to public life, he will unambiguously endorse the privileges committee’s report and he will urge Conservative MPs to do the same. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/17/johnson-has-been-utterly-disgraced-so-why-does-mr-sunak-flinch-from-condemning-him?CMP=share_btn_tw

So excited that @sarahdykeLD will finally have the chance to fight this by-election - not before time!
Can’t wait to get out on the campaign trail with her and make sure the constituents of Somerton and Frome have an MP who respects them.
She will make an outstanding MP.

Sarah Dyke 🔶: We're finally getting to choose a new MP.
Villages and towns across Somerton and Frome have been taken for granted by the Conservative party for too long.
I will fight for a fair deal for all our communities and be the hard working local MP people here deserve. https://t.co/cednJPMSYF

Rishi Sunak took the coward’s way out.
His failure to vote on the Privileges Committee report on Boris Johnson says all you need to know about this Prime Minister's lack of leadership.
So much for integrity. Glad our MP now agrees Johnson is a liar. #PrivilegesCommitteeReport

Impossible not to draw comparisons between a billionaire tourist ship on a risky journey to visit a wreck & desperate, homeless refugees on a hugely risky journey for a chance at a safe life -
Both lost at sea, with vastly different resources committed to their location & rescue

Just 18% of leavers feel it's successful, whilst the economy flounders, inflation surges & trade suffers. Seven years on, it's clear: Brexit has not been the golden dawn promised, but an age of disappointment.

So many lies. Told by people who knew it was a fantasy. Seven years on it’s clear Brexit has been an utter failure.
“You were told that it would be pain-free. You were told that it would all be upsides, no downsides.” Well said Alastair.
