@Moonshining @melaniekmelvin @joswinson Why do they need to vote for him as leader? They can just abstain.

On the 19th of February I made a defamatory statement about @jeremycorbyn. I have apologised to Mr Corbyn and here is the complete text of my apology. Please retweet.

Three years ago I made a video series called Every Single Word where I edited down popular movies to only the words spoken by people of color. In honor of #BlackPanther I'm gonna re-share some of them here.

@thephenocryst I guess they argue that previous governments paid for their education already. By, er, creating our huge national debt.

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@thephenocryst It's also astonishing that everybody who suggests a graduate tax doesn't actually mean a graduate tax. They mean a tax levied against anyone who graduates after said tax is created. How can anyone justify not making ALL graduates pay it?

@flyraccoonfly @mathiaspoulsen @toadrick @EmmaMBearman @katecowan @uclknowledgelab @brundepaula @andrewburn1 @JennyVaf @ljbenton Can you even hold a book with your big claws? Or do the pages end up shredded?

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@flyraccoonfly @mathiaspoulsen @toadrick @EmmaMBearman @katecowan @uclknowledgelab @brundepaula @andrewburn1 @JennyVaf @ljbenton RACCOON! Play nicely. These people just want to read books in peace. And relative safety.

Official: Mueller says Russians conducted ‘information warfare’. Will UK govt finally acknowledge we urgently need our own Brexit investigation?? Evidence right here in this astonishing exchange between @IanCLucas & Facebook exec https://t.co/8eniO2qDjE

[Molly McKew @MollyMcKew]

What does the new Mueller indictment mean from the perspective of information warfare?
It's not good news.

@AllistairGraham @_halfords @davidvance Good. I think you may be in the wrong party, comrade. No commitment to protecting equally rights? I think the Lib Dems will find a home for you.

@peterwalker99 Why uncomfortable? She's a Tory currently in government propped up by the DUP. It's funny to see journalists and commentators woke to the lie that the Conservatives have put their homophobia behind them.

@TomJLines @AndrewStoneman I reckon we ain't seen nothing yet...

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@AndrewStoneman And what's the end game? Persuade nobody, have their demographic die off, and end up reapplying in ten years? Presumably they think we'll have become a tax haven by then...

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@DD621 Why?

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@LitChick79 @theresa_may @DavidDavisMP 'Magic technology'... :-(

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@calder_anthony @ChukaUmunna Er - I doubt any Brexit ministers believe in technology either!

[Ben Ross @SmileyBen]

@LaurenDombowsky @secretcinema Mine too! Amazing! And, what, £17?
