To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system:

Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?”

Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?”

Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

Bad news is the Remainers’ election campaign is proving an amateurish shambles. Good news is it almost certainly doesn’t matter.

These elections legitimise and democratise EU in public consciousness, and help normalise idea we might stay in. Enjoy them. https://t.co/BXiXLQ76my

I wanted to escape Parliament last night. Break out of the hell hole and make a dash to watch the game at Tottenham new stadium. Thank god I stayed!

Your German 🇩🇪 car.
Your Italian 🇮🇹 coffee.
Your French 🇫🇷 wine.
Your Spanish 🇪🇸 holiday.
Your Danish 🇩🇰 bacon.
Your Irish 🇮🇪 whiskey.
Your Belgian 🇧🇪 chocolate.
Your Greek 🇬🇷 feta.

If you voted to leave the EU, you voted to make all of these much more expensive after Brexit.

Jeremy Corbyn was the only MP yesterday who tabled an amendment that included provision for a 2nd Referendum. Guess what? Not a single Tory MP backed his proposal. Not one. After a year of bashing him to do so.

Confirms what many of us on the continent knew, that Brexit aside, Britain is one of the most tolerant & welcoming countries in Europe. If only more British politicians were willing to explain the positive effects of migration instead of leaving it to those exploiting fears.

The #Tories are falling apart in front of our eyes! First @DavidDavisMP and now @BorisJohnson - we can't be too far away from another #GeneralElection already! #ByeByeBoris #BrexitShambles #ToryShambles #ToriesOut #ToryMeltdown

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I guess it gives him more time to polish his turds...

But what an utter tragedy that, at a time like this, the country is being led by such a bunch of selfish incompetents

None of them can be trusted.

We need a vote of no confidence in this shambolic government *now* https://t.co/MTPrg77DZp
