NEW: I understand @TomTugendhat has also been excluded from tomorrow’s Liaison committee grilling of the PM, alongside @Tobias_Ellwood.

One MP claims Bernard Jenkin was ordered to do so by the whips.

Another says “Stopping Tory MPs asking a Tory PM questions...the new normal.”

Some MPs incandescent with Bernard Jenkin, who chairs the Liaison Committee.

“He is the patsy’s patsy. They learned that in Vote Leave when they treated him like s*** and he tried to oust Cummings but failed. Now they’re humiliating him again!”

Last week Bernard Jenkin told @politicshome he wouldn't give the PM an easy ride.

"If the prime minister and the chief whip suggested me on that basis, they’ve decided to nominate the wrong man...
I’m answerable to the committee and the House. I’m not beholden to anyone else.”
