I never thought I’d say this, but the UK is infected by corruption at the highest levels. It’s gutting to admit it, but: 2016 referendum, police delay (cover up?) investigating it, Arcuri delay to investigation, withholding Russian interference report...The common thread? TORIES.
4mins that you *must* watch.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grills former Exxon scientists on Exxon’s startlingly accurate climate change predictions from late 70s & early 80s...
... and Exxon’s subsequent campaign to seed climate change doubt/denial.
@eucopresident@Europarl_EN most sincere gratitude and thanks @eucopresident & @Europarl_EN: pragmatic politics on one side of this debacle
Pre-June 2016, no one really knew what they were voting 4 Even now that "what" has been twisted beyond all recognition by our current IRRESPONSIBLE PM @BorisJohnson
Of the many big lies from @borisjohnson and the Brexit Lie Machine one of the biggest is that his deal ‘gets Brexit done.’It does not. It sets us up for years of debate and division about what sort of economy we want for the future. And it weakens us massively in EU negotiations
Given events today and this evening the #EU and its members states should be in no doubt that @BorisJohnson does not command the authority nor respect of the #Parliament of the Unted Kingdom nor its people.
No Twitter for me today. A contractual requirement of daddy/daughter day. But if you think this ‘deal’ would have won a referendum then you’re as mad as a box of Farages. And that, really, is the point. Good luck to the #PeoplesVoteMarch
See you on the other side.
MPs did the right thing today - we ensured that all legislation related to the Brexit deal will be fully scrutinised. We must not tire nor be bullied into accepting it if we believe it isn't good enough for the country - that is our job.
So it’s official
PM’s Deal is a route to No Deal
PM just confirmed that he *won’t* seek extension to transition period if negotiations on future relationship haven’t finished at end of next year
No wonder ERG support - it’s a Brexit led by the right, the reckless & the rich
