This isn’t a personal statement from Suella explaining why she resigned. It’s a leadership bid from someone who was sacked.

Dear Mogg Seems like everyone's ignoring my Greenwich speech of Feb 3 when I said how I was opposed to 'market segregation' as a way of dealing with this 'coronavirus'. Good! 'cos it makes me look as if I was favouring business over people's lives. Ryvita brevis Boris

I’ve been asked to step down from my role as Housing Minister. Disappointed and was looking forward to introducing the Renters Reform Bill to Committee tomorrow and later the Leasehold and Freehold Bill. It has been a privilege to hold the position and I wish my successor well.

This inquiry has made clear that there was absolutely no consultation with the Government’s scientific advisors on Eat Out to Help Out, that it contributed to the loss of thousands of lives, put unnecessary pressure on the NHS and plunged the country into a brutal 2nd lockdown.

NEW: Prof Angela McLean, now govt chief scientific adviser, described Rishi Sunak as “Dr Death the Chancellor” in whatsapps to Covid expert John Edmunds during pandemic - believed to be in reference to Eat Out to Help Out scheme.

On great rail cancellations, a reminder that the expansion of Piccadilly, intended to alleviate the chronic northern rail bottleneck in the centre of Manc, was promised a decade ago, then put on ice, messed about with and actually only officially cancelled a few months ago.

One of the benefits of changing your job so frequently is that most people don’t realise how awful you are before you leave. I wish Grant Shapps all the best in his new role as Defence Secretary.

The National Audit Office has told me that Ministers have refused to give them the sign off to undertake an inquiry at Teesside Freeport. This decision is preventing Parliament from doing its work and I’ll be raising this with the Government when the House returns on Monday.

Today, we on @CommonsBTC agreed to launch an inquiry on the performance of investment zones and freeports in England. Given the reported issues at Teesside Freeport, I have asked the @NAOorguk to undertake a thorough investigation to assist us in our work. 👇

But that two of the complaints upheld also raises Qs about the judgement of the PM in putting Raab back into his govt, given he had been told informally about Raab's "unacceptable behaviour" ahead of appointing him to govt. So a Q about his govt of integrity for sure

The delay as the PM decides on Raab's future is stressful for all of us working to deadlines. But for no one can it be more stressful than the many complainants, left hanging in real-time, as a political figure makes a political decision on a process they were told to trust.

Angela Rayner makes the key point about the investigation into Sunak - the underlying issue is the complete failure to update the rules or publish a register of ministers' interests in nearly a year
