Hobbling the *entire world's* first line of defence against pandemic in the hope of avoiding responsibility for his own very public lies & failures gets to the very essence of Donald Trump.

More Americans have now died with Covid-19 than died on 9/11. By the end of this week (if trend lines hold) more will have died than died in the Iraq War. By Monday the chances are high that more Americans will have died in this pandemic than in the decade long Vietnam War.

I want to thank all of my wonderful supporters. The staff was amazing & I'll cherish the time we spent together. The volunteers were legends. I'll tell of their stories for years to come. I'm sorry I didn't do better for you guys but your hopeful hearts will change this country!

I see we’re already at the bit where we’re being urged to ‘come together’ by the people who lied & cheated to tear us apart in the first place - and who still can’t describe a single measurable improvement to our lives. It would be funny if it wasn’t so crass.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The EU member states should grant UK citizens living in Europe the full rights as they have today. Automatically. No ‘ifs and buts’ here either. Let's also come back to the idea of ‘European associated citizenship’ for UK citizens who want to keep their link with Europe.

At least one big relief in the Brexit saga: the rule of law in the UK is alive & kicking. Parliaments should never be silenced in a real democracy.

I never want to hear Boris Johnson or any other Brexiteer say again that the European Union is undemocratic.

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

Some people still saying "this is all part of Dom's strategy". Maybe it is. But if your strategy involves being caught breaking the law and lying to the Queen whilst embroiled in allegations of sexual and financial impropriety, it may be time to review the strategy.

But the chickens are triumphant in Chicken Run. I just can’t keep up with all this 4D chess.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

shutting parliament during the gravest national crisis since the war is an act of grotesque cowardice; but history will remember the infamy and those responsible for it with indelible contempt

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Boris Johnson's extreme right-wing government

- blackmails its own MPs

- thinks it can suspend democracy

- threatens to ignore the law

This is not normal. This is why we must #StopTheCoup

[Charles Arthur @charlesarthur]

You can too. But also write, on a physical letter, to your MP. Put in your own words why they shouldn’t do this. They take more notice of physical letters than emails. (Tip: avoid green ink.) https://t.co/GehD47xHKr (added 3,000 since I signed two mins ago.)

We can *all* agree that he’s proroguing to increase his chances of getting a ‘No Detail’ Brexit through without scrutiny.

Brexiters, however, are alone in refusing to wonder why he’s so terrified of scrutiny.

‘‘Twas ever thus.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Incredible!48 Brexit-crazed Tories plunge party and country into chaotic crisis in the quest of their prize -a “managed” Hard Brexit. Driven by toxic mix of Thatcherism and Empire loyalism, they believe they alone are right- impervious to reason,fact or compromise. Contemptible.
