It’s fair to say that Immigration Minister Caroline Noakes was less than impressed with her Home Affairs Select Committee appearance overrunning by 45 minutes, leading to a tetchy exchange with chair Yvette Cooper. Stephen Doughty chipping in with “tough luck, Minister” probably didn’t help the mood either…

Chloe Westley of the Taxpayer’s Alliance has been putting the case for Brexit on TV over the last week, culminating in her Question Time debut on Thursday. Remainers, including MPs like Stephen Doughty who should really know better, have shown a real lack of class by using Chloe’s Aussie heritage to suggest she doesn’t have the right to an opinion.

Reminds Guido of when the likes of Alan Sugar attacked Gisela Stuart because she was born in Germany. Come on then Remainers, tell us again how it’s Brexiters who are the racists.
Shadow Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty quits live on the Daily Politics, accusing the leader’s office of “lies” about Pat McFadden. Just in time for PMQs…
A Labour MP has been condemned as “shameful” for making inaccurate claims about today’s meeting with the National Security Adviser. Lou Haigh, who is amusingly Corbyn’s Shadow Digital Minister, claimed that the Adviser had disputed the government’s number of 70,000 moderate rebels in Syria. She was quickly corrected and condemned by her Labour colleague Stephen Doughty:
.@LouHaigh he didn't say that Louise – and dismay in room from all sides (pro/against/unsure) that you have tweeted that from the meeting.

.@LouHaigh well he actually had to explain afterwards to clarify because you had tweeted. You'd left I think?

The big question is whether or not the briefing was in private. Colleagues suggest that Lou, a close friend of Tom Watson, may not be the sharpest tool in the box. She did nominate Corbyn after all…
