Dark day for minorities in the UK. Especially for British Muslims who watched as a man who said "Islam was the problem," mocked veiled Muslim women, & also turned a blind eye to massive anti-Muslim hatred in his party, was just given a landslide majority by their fellow Britons.
No Boris Johnson, you do *not* have a “powerful people’s mandate” for your miserable Brexit deal
A majority of people voted for parties which opposed that deal and were pledging to put it back to the people in a second referendum
Let me be gracious. All the people celebrating now are the most entitled, embittered, sneering nasty selfish racist foul fuckwits. I’d still rather be with the decent people, however gutted they are, than be you for a second.
The hope is killing me. But I'm beginning to get the feeling that something very interesting is in the air.
(Disclaimer: The value of gut feelings can fall as well as rise)
Grimly dystopian. @JamesCleverly lies about using the Conservative Party Press account to lie to the country by pretending it is fact-checking service calling out lies, when in fact it is spreading more lies. This is what George Orwell wrote about in 1984. https://t.co/QC0mlMuUmY
It is inappropriate and misleading for the Conservative press office to rename their twitter account ‘factcheckUK’ during this debate. Please do not mistake it for an independent fact checking service such as @FullFact, @FactCheck or @FactCheckNI
If you voted for Brexit because you believed that 'our' judges and 'our' parliament had somehow surrendered power to 'Brussels', you deserve a full explanation of today's events from the people who misled you. You won't get one because they hold you in complete contempt.
This is important. All eyes on Johnson at moment for turning Conservatives into UKIP. But UKIP 2.0, the Brexit Party, is quietly consolidating. Meanwhile we still don’t know where its £££ came from. Well done @Turloughc for persisting with this story

Anyone who thinks a no deal Brexit is OK is not paying attention, doesn’t eat fresh food, doesn’t need medication, has lots of fx to hedge against sterling and couldn’t care less about people’s jobs. There. I said it.
Body language speaks volumes
I’d spent nearly 3 hours watching him in a prone position & it got too much!
Plus - how dare he label those of us trying to stop No Deal “undemocratic”
His Government has no mandate for this vicious Brexit - and is trying to bypass parliament
What lessons did we learn from WW2?
Germany, Italy - "never again"
Poland, Bulkan/Baltic States - "cherish freedom"
France, Belgium, Netherlands - "strength in union"
England - "we won, you lost, get over it"
We really did have it coming. #StopTheCoup
