I have resigned from Cabinet and surrendered the Conservative Whip. I cannot stand by as good, loyal moderate Conservatives are expelled. I have spoken to the PM and my Association Chairman to explain. I remain committed to the One Nation values that drew me into politics.

Badly judged & rude of some students last night at Oxford to decide to “no platform” me 30 mins before an event I had been invited to for #IWD2020 to encourage young women into politics. They should stop hiding and start engaging. #FreeSpeech

I am full of admiration for @AngelaRayner . Punch, humour , humanity. She nails it here:

Women in politics face sexism and misogyny every day - and I’m no different. This morning’s is the latest dose of gutter journalism courtesy of @MoS_Politics 🧵👇🏻1/9

It’s shocking that this needs saying, but it’s not okay to ‘joke’, threaten or talk about raping a woman. @jessphillips is admired even by those of us who don’t share her politics, because she’s a determined MP and a strong advocate for women’s rights. We must defeat this hate.

During Gov briefings am I the only one thinking ‘where are all the women?’ Why are there no senior women in the “war cabinet” or used to convey those critical messages? Equality means better decisions. Don’t pack the women away during a crisis.

Can we stop criticising every senior female politician for being “head of school”, “headmistressy” or “like a school teacher”?

That relentless head-of-school self-righteousness, the confidence she was the answer to every complex question; I’d have been happier to see Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street, writes Melanie McDonagh specc.ie/2LRnwOv

It’s because I want this Government to succeed that I believe Dominic Cummings should resign.

"He should quit. He's making things worse." @AmberRuddUK tells @Peston that Dominic Cummings should quit, as his presence is making things worse during the #COVID19 crisis. #Peston

Mortified at my clumsy language and sorry to @HackneyAbbott. My point stands: that no one should suffer abuse because of their race or gender.

Wish Barcelona passport queues had “EU plus remain voters”. “Others plus leave voters”. Seems more reasonable.

For the record, I’m NOT available as a stand in this time. I agree with @Jeremy_Hunt: if you want the job, you have to turn up for the interviews.

I received a characteristically ebullient, light hearted , positive response from Boris over weekend when I wished him a speedy recovery. I now want to multiply those good wishes 100 fold and send him hopes and support for a healthy recovery.

Let us be straight with the British people. The EU databases we helped design and promote keep this country safe. There is no nuance here. #Marr

Funny thing really, as just last week the PM asked me to stand in the General Election. Afraid the Chief Whip has been briefed by the wrong “No 10 Sources” this morning but nonetheless I respect the decision he had been asked to make.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Chief whip Mark Spencer tells Amber Rudd she WONT be getting the Tory whip back. Tells her he doesn’t trust her not to turn on Boris Johnson again. ‘Receipt of the whip is an honour, not a right and it cannot be discarded or returned at will.’
