Barwell also told @LBC "Since I tweeted that (below) Conservative MPs have contacted me and expressed sympathy with that view. There are definitely people in the party who are deeply uncomfortable about some of the things the Chancellor had to say today"

A kind offer, but my politics are of the liberal centre right. I haven't left the Conservative Party - it has left me. As a result I find myself increasingly homeless, and from the messages I get and conversations I have I think I am far from alone

Asked by @AndrewMarr9 if the US has the ability to take out a sitting Russian President, Ambassador Bolton replied: "I don't agree that we can't get him and I think he knows that. You can ask Qasem Soleimani in Iran what happens when we decide somebody is threat to the US"
