Tory MPs can't whinge about the Lords being unelected because it was a CON backbench rebellion in 2012 that scuppered progress on the reform Bill to make it an elected chamber telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…

Given that Amber Rudd wrote to Theresa May about targets in 2017, it's rather looking as if May knew Rudd had misled parliament but chose to say nothing

I don't like to kick a chap when she's down but I find this sort of tribute a bit strange. She went because either: (a) she didn't have a clue about what her department was doing; or (b) she lied. Why should she be back in Cabinet soon?

Very sad that Amber is leaving Government. A huge talent that will no doubt be back in Cabinet soon, helping to strengthen our great nation

So the Prime Minister knew that her Home Secretary was providing Parliament and the public with information that wasn’t true about the Windrush scandal? Or are we to believe the Prime Minister didn’t read letters addressed to her from her Home Secretary?

#windrush victims I'm talking to are surprised by Rudd's resignation - they identify Theresa May as the architect of the policy that caused them so much pain

So here is the exchange between Yvette Cooper and the Home Secretary on net removal targets: YC: Targets for removals when were they set? AR: We dont have targets for removals. YC: But you did ... AR: I dont know what your referring to.

Amber Rudd says she regrets not grasping the scale of the Windrush scandal until it directly threatened her job.

Does Jo Coburn's dismissive, aggressive treatment of this MP respect BBC impartiality principles?

“All the PM was able to cite were social media posts and hearsay” @DerbyChrisW “Who else could have done it?” asks @jo_coburn #bbcdp

When you can't afford to defend your rights, they are not worth the paper they are written on. I am proud to announce that Labour will restore legal aid for housing advice, reversing this cruel Tory cut This will help thousands facing rogue landlords to defend their rights.

THERESA MAY doesn't want you to read this article! Published by the Telegraph, she had it removed. It's a detailed look at her record as Home Secretary - of relevance to #WindrushGeneration & @The3Million #BargainingChips Thank heavens for web archive! web.archive.org/web/2016070109…

Today @BuzzFeedUK have revealed that HMRC refused to investigate money laundering, after saying the company is a Tory donor. If true, this is shocking and outrageous. No better example of country being run for wealthy elite. buzzfeed.com/heidiblake/uk-…

Over the last 24hrs, the @Conservatives have evaded responsibility, spun facts & misled the public over #Windrush. Meanwhile, @jeremycorbyn has been proved on the right side of history again: he was one of only 6 @UKLabour MPs who voted against the Bill which created the scandal.
