It's the only time you hear about backbenchers, when they resign.

I don't know if anyone in Westminster has realised or not, but there are local elections in May. I wouldn't want to be any kind of local candidate canvassing on local issues while the whole Brexit fiasco rumbles on.

Our local facebook group has a large number of people saying they’ll spoil their vote

These two didn't resign from the party; just their ministerial jobs.

Government majority, with DUP votes, is now about 3 I think.

^ I've checked and the majority for a no-confidence motion would be 6 (with the speaker's vote). 5 if Labour win the by-election seat they are defending.

The MP that walked out in the huff after his bill didnt pass the other night had already been deselected by his local party, so kind of a pointless gesture on his part

Fake news - two junior ministers have resigned their positions but they have not resigned as Tories or as MPs
