        Actually, great work was made on the #DomesticAbuseBill and Parliament were able to secure a motion to get it held over for the new session so that the Bill wouldn’t be killed off. And that is a great thing because this Bill is badly needed.

        Obviously not a problem now that they have managed to address all of the urgent issues that they got the last one reveresed for. Im particularly impressed with the level of #Brexit scrutinisation they have managed to fit it the last week or so. 😬 #twats #Prorogation #again

        How many more #LoanCharge victims will be at severe risk before MP's return? @Jesse_Norman had the opportunity to #SavesLives by announcing HALT to HMRC activity whilst Review ongoing, but he just argued about number of suicides (SEVEN)..pic.twitter.com/AsEH5gzNwk

        I thought the whole point was that MPs don't approve prorogation, they have no say it is the Queen acting on the advice of her (trusted) PM. Get it right @BBCPolitics

        Thank God. Remain MPs should go away and reflect. Brexit won't go away. In fact, we now face an election which is likely to result in the "hard" Brexit they've been trying to thwart for three years.
