Send Daily Mail readers to Syria. They might learn something about empathy.

Time for Neil to update this song. https://t.co/V6pqzNH67m #TrumpInauguration

Haven't listened to Pentangle's version of "Cruel Sister' for too long. What a powerful song (variant of The Twa Sisters), and what a haunting version, maybe the best thing they ever did. Very different from my own twa lovely sisters! https://t.co/vkyeEBsrqu

It's a sobering thought that if the Blairites were in charge of the Labour Party today, the opposition would now be nailing itself firmly to the colours of Trump and his British moll. Proud to stand with @jeremycorbyn on Syria as on most other things.

@CraigMurrayOrg It's about time you stopped attacking smaller or weaker people, Craig; you should know better after eight centuries.

@JuliusGoat @McFaul No.the best thing Obama did was diplomacy with Russia to take Chem weapons away ,in 2013 ,despite chickenhawks howling for missiles.i see no crédible indication Assad ever used them again in his winning war.this is operation StormyDaniels,plain and simple

Donald Trump care so much for the lives of Syrians abused by their " evil dictator Assad" that so far this year America has accepted 11 refugees, from that country. #SyriaStrikes

@LisaShymko @Kasparov63 Happy birthday to a real hero. Not many in the world of chess who have such a passionate concern for what happens in the real world.

Yes, it's a shame that the whole of my youth was spent under Tories, blue and red. It was a failure of my generation not to keep the torch of socialism burning. https://t.co/DXeqOq3iV4

They say young people aren't interested in politics. I say they are and they always have been. They just need a party that's interested in them. The Labour Party is now that party.

@mrjamesob Similarly, rigorous analysis of Powell's speech will strip it of its mythology and expose its mendacity and Powell himself, if not as a fool like Griffin, as a dangerous, silver-tongued demagogue and liar.

[clivejw @JA520W]

@mrjamesob Sorry, "made to look a complete fool" isn't accurate. Mother Nature made him a fool, but his QT appearance allowed the whole nation to see, once and for all, that he is a fool. His supporters used to claim he was some kind of Cambridge intellectual, instead of a dim little thug.

@pavilionopinion @timwig Yes, they think that we have the memory of goldfish.

@ThomasPride It's not only racist, it's a pack of lies. He made up this woman. Even if she existed, her misfortunes were due to her own racism, since it is admitted she refused to rent to immigrant tenants.

@unionlib It's not going to be read continuously. There will be a panel of experts interrupting to critique each passage. A good opportunity to expose the sheer mendacity behind its colourful rhetorical tropes. Certainly, nothing to fear.

@skwawkbox The claims made about the language used by Yuliya (not Yulia) Skripal in this article are completely wrong. I assert that as a professional translator of Russian with 28 years of experience.

[clivejw @JA520W]

The idea that Assad, who has to all intents and purposes won the civil war in Syria, would throw it all away by using chemical weapons is highly dubious. Can we just for once engage our brains before rushing to bomb?

[clivejw @JA520W]

Unbelievable, isn't it. The UK government is somehow losing a propaganda war with a mafioso kleptocracy that definitely and repeatedly poisons its enemies. Is there no beginning to the talents of May and Johnson? https://t.co/Y7gMaHbfvV

[Russian Embassy, UK @RussianEmbassy]

Salisbury Hospital never confirmed that Sergei and Yulia Skripal had any symptoms of chemical poisoning and that they were treated precisely for this. Any ideas why? https://t.co/2LyVbgs1r3

@GeorgeTakei How many news stations did these women apply to before ending up on the no.1 for sexual harrassment?

@nytimes There just isn't enough popcorn in all the world for this one.
