@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump The penguins are the real masters. They got tariffs placed and removed without doing anything.

This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.

If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Same old debunked rubbish.

Foreign born & British nationals are presented here as two different groups.
Obviously they are not. I am a foreign born British national. So is Boris Johnson.

But it makes a nice dog whistle & Goodwin is used to embarrassing himself on this topic

Borders: Most of us have noticed "STOP THE BOATS" has been the #1 political goal and headline for the last 3 years since Brexit.

The reason is brexit was a marketing boon for traffickers. "EU asylum application failed? No Worries, just go to Brexit britain!!"

Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting ‘We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?’ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right

Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

@kloppfc24 You are not any better than him. How do you know their nationality?

[Alex Sobel MP for Leeds Central and Headingley @alexsobel]

This is a situation you know nothing about and no one has briefed you on.

You are inflaming a situation with misinformation.

Politicians have a responsibility to not exacerbate situations particularly with no knowledge of them.

I expect you to issue an apology.

@JackSteele_ How very Tory and Brexit.

“Unelected lawmakers in Europe” : Bad, because foreign.

“Unelected lawmakers in the UK: Good, because British, posh and they have fancy titles.

No rational person looks at this and thinks: "oooh that looks normal." My suspicion is that it's not going to do Trump’s campaign any favours.

Feels like the world slowly sliding into dystopia.

[Kiefer Sutherland @RealKiefer]

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

Italy owns our railway operators, China our nuclear power stations, Canadian pensioners our water utilities, India our steel industry and now a Czech billionaire is buying Royal Mail. This is what the Tories call 'taking back control'.

[Miss Chief 🤨 @Midge1415]

Lads, remember when these c*ntcakes tried to tell us our kids would be conscripted into an EU army, so we had to Brexit? 🙄🤣
