Dear @SkyNews There are lots of MEPs. Why donโt you ever cut away to them? @julie4nw @TheresaMEP @ChrisDaviesLD @SHKMEP @GinaDowdingMEP
Yes, if you want to legitimize the result of a referendum intended to be legally binding you must run it as a legally binding referendum - with a requirement for a super-majority. Anything else is illegitimate!
Absolutely the right thing to do. But, any new vote must be free of foreign interference and money. It must also require the supermajority that the first one was missing. Nice one @Sandbach
I #StandWithSandbach and the other Tory rebels willing and brave enough to put their country before their former Party or, indeed, themselves!

Dear Damian, This is absolute codswallop & you know it . Proroguing parliament is the hallmark of a dictator. Parliamentary sovereignty is key to a functioning democracy. Plus of course scrutiny. How can you push this angle ?Stand up for our constitution!

If you can downplay the wishes of the most significant petition in the UK Parliaments' Petiiton websites' history it somewhat brings into question the credibility of the whole site and any pretence that any petition is worth conducting. It's an insult to democracy and the people
A huge congratulations to all the activists in Beaconsfield who turned out to encourage Dominic Grieve to join @TheIndGroup . May you be increasingly successful at shooting yourself in your foot!

The Government has agreed to give ยฃ20 million of tax payers money to test alternative arrangements to the #Brexit backstop (ie chase unicorns) whilst refusing to give our police an extra ยฃ15 million to tackle the knife crime crisis (ie save lives) #disgraceful @TheIndGroup
I.e. Remainers negotiating with partners to try and repair the damage caused by @LeaveEUOfficial colluding with Russia in their bid to undermine all western democracies. We call this treason!

You continue to miss the point. Flying me, a British politician, out to speak for citizens of a continent I have never lived on is more of the same patronising fluff. Please invite an African filmmaker, celebrity, farmer, teacher or businessperson to make a film in my place.

If as reported the PM is going to pull this weeks vote it would breach a solumn undertaking made at the dispatch box and would be an act showing utter contempt of Parliament

Remember, this is just one of multiple ongoing criminal investigations into @arron_banks. The political denial over this & Vote Leaveโs record-breaking fraud is breathtaking. It was an unsafe vote & your elected representatives know it

This is horrible. Everything is stymied by the inability of both leaders to admit that there is nothing objectively better for the UK than EU membership. We're arguing over silver & bronze medals while pretending that gold doesn't exist.

Irresponsible nonsense. The 15 yobs who have been roaming outside Parliament do not represent anyone but themselves. Itโs shameful to validate them in this way. Right wing extremists have always existed #Brexit is just an excuse - this is their real agenda
Hear, hear...
The best truth bomb Iโve seen on #BBCQT for a long time.
โCan we get over feeling sorry for Theresa Mayโ?
