The British government is today obliged to admit that Sergei Skripal is thankfully getting better, only after the news was outed in the phone call between Viktoria and Yulia. Which UK establishment trolls all attempted to call fake. Denial of visa to Viktoria a disgrace.

Both Sergei and Yulia Skripal are recovering nicely from what was said to be the deadliest military grade nerve agent in the world. Only the Skripal pets are dead, though not from any poison — but because British investigators starved the guinea pigs and killed the cat! 🤔 https://t.co/OpOlY5me6V

1,079,031 – that's the number of Brits whose Facebook data was improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica. Was this data then used to swing the Brexit referendum? We need to know. My latest https://t.co/0gXw6QtI1l

Britain sees the Commonwealth as its trading empire. It is sadly deluded: Nearly every Commonwealth country opposed Brexit. Leavers are wrong to hope old imperial patterns will replace EU trade https://t.co/ttoQGVbFHi

The prospect of a damning prosecutor’s report hanging over the president’s head only exists if Congress fails to do its job seriously. The problem is not the report or the lack of indictment but Republicans’ infidelity to their oaths of office. https://t.co/3H4Xt3kJ82
