.@Navalny bravery at this time so important for the world to note. What he is doing stands out because of the collapse of democracy in Russia. The world should remember that Russia tries to export its own political DNA, as we saw in how it is meddling in other elections. https://t.co/vk0IInGnFj

Inspiring to watch the Russian people stand up for their rights despite the odds. #Putin’s dictatorship can run a sham election, but it can’t silence the Russian people. #RussiaWillBeFree https://t.co/OfGavJIOxA

BREAKING: Putin had Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny arrested today, helping ensure that he wins re-election. This comes as Trump continues to demand that his political opponents are investigated and jailed. This isn't a coincidence. It's how dictators work#SundayMorning

Diplomatic malpractice that Pres. Trump has not yet implemented sanctions on Russia voted 98-2 by the Senate. Congress can’t let Putin go unpunished for interfering in our election. Trump’s weakness is appalling. https://t.co/fKDzooVM3D

When Jeremy said this morning that the ‘ship had sailed’ on a Brexit referendum, he meant of course the 2016 referendum. The ship for a referendum on Mrs May’s terrible Brexit deal enters port in October & the overwhelming majority of Labour members intend to get on board!
