Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

This week, I'm leading a Parliamentary debate on banning MPs' second jobs.

Nigel Farage has already taken over £1 Million from second jobs since becoming an MP.

I've invited him to attend the debate to explain why MPs should be allowed to rake in vast sums from second jobs.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation.

Not one.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

No, Donald, this was not a case "against the United States of America and all it stands for." It was a case against you. And a jury of your peers found you liable for rape and defamation. You lost. Again.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Until recently Nigel Farage would have been able to shrug this sort of stuff off. But like I say, his forcefield isn't operating any more. So this is going to stick.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

Dear Washington Post. Once a guilty verdict has been rendered, it’s no longer an allegation. It’s a fact. The jury did not find that the disgraceful president allegedly sexually assaulted & then defamed Jean Carroll. The jury found that he did sexually assault & defame her. Duh

Good morning people how about we all mount a sustained attack on Chris Mason in the same way he attacked Kier Starmer.
We make his tenure at the BBC impossible.
At least we can justify our claims of bias and incompetence.
#SackChrisMason
RT if you agree

[Malcolm Tucker @gorbalsgoebbels]

Oh fuck off Chris Mason you snivelling little cunt.

You played a massive part in the hounding out of Starmer.

Don’t insult our intelligence.

Every issue was magnified to a resignation matter.

Fuck off.

O apelo de Amir Ghalenoei, técnico do Irã, a Gianni Infantino e a Fifa: que não permita no futuro que sedes da Copa tratem seleções como a sua foi tratada nos Estados Unidos.

America, in a nutshell.

[Barry Halverson @barry_halverson]

This is one screenshot from the BBC News app on 3 June.

Not different days. Not cherry-picked.
The same day. The same InDepth page.

Four anti-Starmer stories, all presented together.

But apparently there’s no anti-Starmer bias at the BBC.

[رامین رضاییان @Ramin_Rezaian_]

En nombre mío y de todos mis compañeros de la selección iraní, quiero expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento y profunda gratitud a México por su cálida hospitalidad. Nos han llenado de amor, calidez y una amabilidad inolvidable. Gracias al maravilloso pueblo mexicano por su cariño y apoyo, que nos han hecho sentir como en nuestro segundo hogar. Todo nuestro respeto y aprecio para ustedes.

[IRAN EMBASSY in KENYA @IRANinKENYA]

This is Tijuana 4:00 am last night. Iran national team arrived.
This is the most unfair and shameful #WarCup in history.
If any of this happened to Team USA in Iran — no recovery after matches, immediate flights to the airport, massive external pressure, or management/logistics staff denied visas — FIFA would suspend Iran instantly, cancel hosting rights, and slap on heavy fines.
But when it’s our Team Melli? Total silence and bias for the wrong side.
Shame on America.
Shame on FIFA.
Team Melli fights with dignity anyway.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

Chris Mason thinks (and I use thinks very loosely) that it is offensive to say he or any other journalist played a part in bringing down Keir Starmer.

Chris Mason is an overpaid moron.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.:

“This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”

[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

I'm hearing that @ChrisMasonBBC said he was "offended" by suggestions of bias against Keir Starmer and this Labour gov.

I'm offended that I pay your wages and you have done everything in your power to bring the government down.

[Beverley Somerset @BevSomerset]

@gavinthomas2015 Spring onions, but I’m from the North East and we always called them scallions.

[Dannyoh @dannyoh337]

If Angela Rayner had to resign over 40k undeclared, there’s no reason Nigel farage should still be an MP with £5M undeclared. Resign now.
