Haha. First world problems.

Congrats, Paul!

Have read "The Big Steal" already and it is a cracking read. How these spivvy tycoons get away with it is gobsmacking.

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

@Peter_Fitz Thanks!

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

@MickAtko @MarkDiStef @theTiser Yup. There were plenty in the media who drank the Gupta Kool Aid.

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

Woohoo! This arrived in the post today. My new book, The Big Steal, How steel tycoon Sanjeev Gupta fooled Australia and the world. It’s a ripper! In the shops at the end of August.

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

Yup, his record in the UK is just as bad. It’s all in the book. I spent a few weeks there.

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

Peace without a nuclear deal? Looks like it, according to Al Jazeera https://t.co/TowcqYp8FN

This is really chilling. Like a scene from a dystopian movie, and alarming for anyone who cares about democracy. A judicial nominee flagrantly flouting the constitution about Trump's eligibility for a third term. The constitution is unambiguous. He is not eligible.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?

Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”

Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.

Silence.

Every single one of them refused to say it.

Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.

Never stop connecting the dots.

Really worth reading.

Farewell James. You were a great friend and a beautiful, funny, creative man. The world will miss you. And so will I. Always. https://t.co/blrMb2tYYW

Even Trump’s supporters are now saying he’s mad and dangerous.

[Washington Examiner @dcexaminer]

OPINION: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Excellent stuff. Thanks

@annaclarity1 @TheRealPBarry @NickBryantNY Try this perhaps? https://t.co/L71sYTVEdc

[Paul Barry @TheRealPBarry]

Absolutely agree. Take note.

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

News organisations need to be unflinching in their use of strong language to describe Trump. Too often we have normalised the abnormal. Mea culpa. I did it myself at the BBC and often came up against institutional timidity. My weekend read.

EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. https://t.co/Ater7LRQ2H

Almost 2/3 of Americans now disapprove of Trump on economy and war, yet the Republican Party still refuses to rein him in https://t.co/0Oz10VneU7

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

🚨 BREAKING: The House just failed to end Trump’s Iran war by ONE vote.

213-214.

One Democrat.

Jared Golden of Maine.

That’s it. That’s the margin.

One Democrat crossed the aisle and gave Trump the war.
