Congratulations to @RishiSunak on becoming Conservative Party Leader. The UK faces significant economic challenges and some tough choices. To overcome these, we need a party that is united and a government that is honest with the British people. I wish Rishi all the best. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply saddened by the passing of Her Late Majesty The Queen. She will be remembered for 70 years of unwavering service - a beacon of stability in a period of rapid change. She leaves behind a nation grateful for her dedicated leadership. My thoughts are with the Royal Family. — PolitiTweet.org

Horrified by the appalling murder of Sir David Amess this afternoon. He was a kind and considerate colleague, liked and respected across the House. He was also a deeply committed constituency MP who died doing what he loved - serving his constituents. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply saddened to hear the news of James Brokenshire’s death. He was an excellent and diligent Minister, always courteous and patient, even in the most stressful situations. But most of all, he was a thoroughly decent man and a pleasure to work with. He will be greatly missed. — PolitiTweet.org

The Duke of Edinburgh’s commitment to public service was a source of inspiration to all of us. Those who had the privilege to have met him will miss him greatly and remember him fondly. My thoughts are with the Queen and all the Royal Family. — PolitiTweet.org

2) The UK is a rule-of-law state, and attempting to legislate domestically to override international law would be an incredibly dangerous step and bound to lead to conflict with the judiciary. It would also hugely damage our standing on the world stage. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be clear on two points: 1) Leaving without a deal would not be a ‘good outcome for the UK’; nor would it be the outcome Boris and the Brexiteers promised. — PolitiTweet.org

Honoured to join the House of Lords and delighted to be rejoining the Conservative Parliamentary party. I look forward to making a contribution to the important public debates we will have in this country over the coming years as we seek to address the great challenges of our age — PolitiTweet.org

A great result for Boris Johnson and for the Conservative party. The Prime Minister now has the moral and political authority to do what’s right for Britain: to deliver a Brexit that guarantees a close economic partnership with the EU, and protects British jobs and businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @DrBenSpencer on being selected as the Conservative candidate for Runnymede & Weybridge. He is inheriting a fantastic constituency and I wish him every success in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

It is with great sadness that I am today announcing my decision to stand down as Member of Parliament for Runnymede & Weybridge at the forthcoming General Election. My letter to the constituents I have served for 22 years: https://t.co/KW8KUOhM5I — PolitiTweet.org

Parliament showed last week it wanted to get on with the Bill – it’s the government that hasn’t allowed us to do so. So stop the self-indulgent focus on elections on both sides and concentrate on passing the Bill. If we’d done that last week, we could have finished it by now. — PolitiTweet.org

I believe in delivering Brexit. But I also believe in Parliamentary scrutiny. That’s why I voted for the Brexit bill to progress to the next stage, but against No10’s plan to rush it through at breakneck speed. Now’s the time for cool heads, to calmly consider the Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

2) If an extension is entered into, and then a deal is ratified during that extension, the extension can be terminated early. This is a flexible Act that provides the PM with the time and space to negotiate a smooth exit. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
Two points of clarity on the Benn Act: 1) The Act does not ‘surrender’ any power to Brussels. Parliament passed the law that stipulates 31/01/20 as the extension date, and Parliament retains a full veto over any alternative offer. Parliament is sovereign. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
A committed and hard working MP, a moderate One Nation conservative, and someone who voted for a Brexit deal that would have seen us leave on March 29th. It’s sad and perplexing when good people like Antoinette are forced out. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
Zac - I voted for a Brexit deal three times in the Commons. You did not. What’s really ‘a disgrace’ is colleagues who claimed to want to honour the referendum, but voted down a deal that would have seen us leave on 29th March. — PolitiTweet.org

We have voted for a deal three times in the Commons - and will do so again if it’s a deal that benefits the whole of the UK. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
The Mail on Sunday is wrong - there is no plot. If Parliament approves a deal that has been agreed with the EU, the Benn Act does not apply. But parliament will need to see the full detail of a deal, not just a headline, before it will approve anything. — PolitiTweet.org

@toadmeister @UKLabour Apology accepted, though I did not use the word “financiers”. Always happy to discuss our differences - so long as we keep it civilised. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
@toadmeister @UKLabour This is self-evidently absurd. But it is also defamatory. I will be taking legal advice tomorrow morning. I shall make no further comment. — PolitiTweet.org

@nadhimzahawi @edvaizey Then let me be clear: the suggestion is not of a ‘conspiracy’; it is that those who seek No Deal, for whatever reason, will be cheered by the current state of negotiations. — PolitiTweet.org
Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK
@nadhimzahawi @edvaizey Nadhim, calm yourself: I made no reference to “interference”. I observed 3 things: 1) Boris has backing from hedge fund managers; 2) Some of those will have bet on No Deal; 3) Those that have will be happpy to see scant progress towards a deal. Which of these 3 is incorrect? — PolitiTweet.org

The vile comments from some readers of this Telegraph piece about my former advisor Sonia Khan - sacked without justification by Dominic Cummings - show the dangerous sentiment being whipped up by those exploiting division, rather than seeking unity. https://t.co/iSeiSEx4eG https://t.co/SdxVdr4tmD — PolitiTweet.org

Usual rubbish in The Sun this morning. I am a big believer in relaxing planning rules to build new homes. Saj (as Communities Sec) and I (as Chancellor) worked closely together to do this - but were blocked. I wish him greater success with this new initiative. — PolitiTweet.org
