. @DominicRaab on Arthur Labinjo-Hughes' killing - "I don't think there is a silver bullet answer to this, you've got to ask how anyone could commit this kind of unimaginable cruelty, why we have families that might countenance let alone commit such abuse" #Phillips

... "the Prime Minister has made clear as well as that we want to see how the social services and local authorities liaise with the criminal justice agencies" #phillips @DominicRaab

. @DominicRaab tells #trevorphillips "the Attorney General has made clear she wants the sentences [for Arthur Labinjo-Hughes' killers] reviewed... there will be a local safeguarding review which will look at the local authority's actions..."

#BigIdeasLive How do we build back better, greener and for young people after COVID?

"... that is not only offensive, it has real world effects.. could you imagine if we talked about Catalonia, the Flemish part of Belgium, one of the Lander in Germany, Northern Italy, Corsica in France as different countries, we need a bit of respect here" #Phillips @DominicRaab

. @DominicRaab on Macron allegedly saying NI was not the same country as GB - "no-one should be surprised by these reports, and it's not just one figure. We have serially seen senior EU figures talk about Northern Ireland as if it were somehow a different country from the UK...

. @DominicRaab "we want tensions eased, we want a flexible pragmatic approach, what we cannot have is both the Northern Ireland Protocol being applied in a very lopsided way, or the Good Friday Agreement being undermined as a result of that" #Phillips #Brexit

. @DominicRaab on NI/Brexit - "The Prime Minister has been very calm but also firm about this... we've seen a very lopsided approach to the Northern Ireland Protocol, which is supposed to protect all communities in Northern Ireland" #Phillips

. @DominicRaab tells #Phillips G7 summit has delivered a "global gear-shift in international collaboration" - highlighting announcements on vaccines and climate change

. @NicolaSturgeon "we've got a difficult few months ahead of us... the legislation if a referendum is to be delivered within the first half of this parliament, which is my preference COVID permitting, we have to introduce the legislation in a timeframe to facilitate that"

. @NicolaSturgeon suggests no immediate move to an independence vote - "of course once the crisis is over, I also said in this election I wanted to give people in Scotland the choice of independence, and I intend to do that when we are out of the crisis"

. @michaelgove "it's not an issue for the moment, of course the people of Scotland... have that right, but it's absolutely important that for now we focus on the issues in front of us... the SNP did not get a majority in this election, as they did in 2011" #ridge

. @michaelgove "it's just a massive distraction... I cannot believe [people] think the answer to all these things is a protracted debate on the constitution" #ridge

. @michaelgove on future Holyrood vote for referendum: "most people would react by thinking, hold on a moment, while we still have a vaccination programme to roll out... what we really really want is legislation on a referendum... it's a slightly skewed set of priorities" #ridge
