@DavidGHFrost You stumbled into the Brexit negotiations with your hands and head empty. And you have the effrontery to question someone else’s professional competence.

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@ordinarybhoy Yep. And this thread will be a good guide on who to follow :)

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@nicksortor @AronPolitidoxy Or he just has the courtesy and manners to be a biddable host and dutiful president? Qualities that President Trump didn’t reveal in the last handover.

@TuckerCarlson Isn’t Rick Scott the one who was CEO of a company that was systematically defrauding Medicare?

@kelvmackenzie The rest of “us”? You’re overseas and stealing a substantial living, on the back of a reputation as a disgraced-but-right-wing newspaper editor. 😅

@america You’re easy pleased, mate.

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@realDonaldTrump Repurpose Obama’s line against you, based on demonstrable lies. You are as transparent as you are cynical.

@DouglasCarswell @spectator Whereas supporting a felon, insurrectionist and habitual liar would show sound character and judgement?

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@runwayinchicago Insanely terrible, but forging through. You too, I hope

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@stephensackur @BBCHARDtalk This is wretched news and a short sighted decision that I hope can be reversed. The accountability interview both enables journalists to get past the prevarications of those in power —all the more important in a post truth age— and sets an informed news agenda. @BBCWorld

@SkyNews What a scoop 🫣

[Michael Higgins @MichaelTHiggins]

@s8n Well that’ll be the last supper you have here

@LozzaFox This is just a film of people going about their daily lives. Why is this a threat to you?
