Hi @AlexChalkChelt
We hear the vote is being delayed again. Is it really worth holding the country to ransom just because your party can't function? This country deserves better#EnoughIsEnough

I’ve decided to revise down my view of the chances of no deal to zero. It’s a political hoax.

Pramila Jayapal to Whitaker: "Your attorneys are prosecuting them, and your Department was not tracking parents who were separated from their children?"
