I haven't seen any details yet.

Here's all the Conservative MPs who voted with Boris Johnson against Rishi Sunak's new Brexit deal.

48 didn't record a vote.

A rather withered group.

Will be interesting to see the names of those that dodged committing themselves.

Do you know... I could've nearly written that list

So predictable

Yesterday's men & women.

Agree. That's presented very simply but gets to the route of the whole problem.

This is what Boris Johnson said to Sir Bernard Jenkin when Jenkin asked him what he would have said if he had been asked what he would say to any business that wanted to hold “unsocially distanced farewell gatherings” during lockdown.

Johnson replied:

I would have said it is up to organisations, as the guidance says, to decide how they are going to implement the guidance amongst them. Where they can’t do social distancing perfectly, they can’t maintain two metres or one metre, they are entitled to have mitigations. And we did indeed have plenty of mitigations.

🙄🙄🙄

Sorry, there is a partygate thread. I am getting everything wrong today!

That sums it up very well.

ERG suggesting that Government wouldn't have had a majority -

Break: ERG number crunching shows @RishiSunak needed opposition MPs to get his Northern Ireland deal passed. There were 48 Conservative abstentions which they say = 24 no votes. Add that to 22 actual No votes and you have 46 No votes which = loss of government majority

All a bit desperate on their part.

Is it 2017 all over again with remoaners getting in the way of a true Brexit?

Sunak has released what he's paid in tax. As bbc news notes he's done so on a busy news day.

Rishi Sunak has published a statement of how much tax he paid last year but I'm not sure it's a "tax return" per se

(see Nicola Sturgeon's actual tax return to spot the difference)

Hoyle needs sacking. Bring back Bercow!

Hoyle is bloody hopeless, very poor indeed.

Did you see the 'she wasn't that bad' when Jeff mentioned Truss

Sunak’s tax returns

#KayBurley - Rishi Sunak's effective tax rate is 22%... I'm sure I pay more tax than that?

Dan Neidle(tax policy association) - "You probably pay twice as much as that... Sunak benefits from that low rate, but he's the man that has the power to change it."

So what do Johnson and Truss claim they would have done instead of the Windsor Framework, and on what basis do they claim the other parties involved would have agreed?

Add Braverman and Dorries and you've got a list of the Tory party's nutters and idiots right there.

Bank of England increases base rate to 4.25%- 0.25% rise. Eleventh increase in a row.

Something else to look forward to then.

And yet when I point out that the rich pay a lower proportion of their income in tax than the poor, some posters get most upset.

11-15 April will be the next round of Junior Doctors strike action in England.

The Government is still refusing to make a credible offer - or any offer at all - to resolve our dispute.

you probably just don't understand the nuances of tax or are jealous or a rich basher, take your pick

Correct.
