Unprecedented and very upsetting. And fairly easy to begin resolving. Starting with the NEC accepting the IHRA definition. https://t.co/qY6vcIkqQ6

A key feature of the Labour anti-Semitism scandal is the denial that the Jewish community (for it is now almost all the Jewish community) is voicing its concerns in good faith. It’s the ardent claim that the *real* agenda is something different. Israel. Establishment. Toryism.

BREAKING: National Security Adviser Bolton: “The President believes that the next bilateral meeting with President Putin should take place after" the Mueller investigation "is over, so we’ve agreed that it will be after the first of the year.”

When you're a very serious MP... but you find out you're getting a @LoveIsland water bottle with your name on it! 😂

This includes everyone who applauded, or even let pass without protest, Corbyn���s whipping the Labour benches to support the A50 notification. https://t.co/QxqUcfcpaR

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump's remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN, @NBCNews, @ABC, @FoxNews, @CBSNews, & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.

Russian disinformation wasn’t the only factor in the election outcome but without the Russians, "Trump would not have even been within striking distance of Clinton on Election Day." That is the inconvenient truth the Putin Republicans won’t admit. Me: https://t.co/S6gkKv0Ksn

BREAKING: #UnitedWeStand
Britain's leading Jewish papers, @JewishChron, @JewishTelegraph & @JewishNewsUK, have for the first time run the same leader on their front pages, with each other's logos as a sign of the extent of communal anger and concern over #LabourAntisemitism

Brexit in the form that it was sold is undeliverable. We need a People's Vote on the Brexit deal. My video for the @Independent this week as they endorse the @peoplesvote_uk campaign.

Margaret Hodge - 'I blew my top' at Jeremy Corbyn, it 'beggars belief that he can't see he's 'offending a whole community' - watch here https://t.co/QFxcY3Fbck

Here is the letter I received from the Labour Party and the letter my lawyers have sent in reply. 1/7

There is no economic benefit of Brexit. This is fantasy magical thinking. https://t.co/tiYIPLGhNS

Meanwhile here's your periodic reminder that Corbyn always has been and always will be anti-EU and will use any garbage to justify his prejudice

Vernon Bogdanor is good here, but I think gets his Condorcet Paradox wrong. Whichever choice (no deal, May’s deal, Remain) put first to the electorate might well lose in a 2 part ref. @jdportes

[Labour for a European Future @LabourEuropean]

We had to book a larger committee room for our launch at the last minute - great to see it filling up with people backing Labour for a #PeoplesVote
