Watch Syrian air defense fire missile towards object overhead short time ago. Israel is suspected of being behind airstrikes tonight targeting an Iranian affiliated airbase in Syria. pic.twitter.com/1IDU2GLECo

It’s likely the Israelis striking Syria. T4 is a huge SYAF strike base & Iranian HQ and having IAF attack it is a good strategy for both countries. If so this is a Mattis designed move, not Trump or Bolton. https://t.co/DNxI8448Os

We along with 8 other members have called for an emergency Security Council mtg tomorrow in reference to the horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians in Syria. This is becoming all too common. Strong action is needed. pic.twitter.com/Vt3L5fjVla

Interesting which members of the UN Security Council did NOT call for an emergency meeting about Syria’s use of chemical weapons: Russia, China, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan. Worth noting for the future. https://t.co/j9qDpDaQyk

Assad and Putin committed war crimes against the people of Syria last night and Trump is tweeting about Hillary Clinton. How long will GOP leaders remain quiet about his unfitness to govern?

BATSHIT BREXIT BRITAIN (AND NORN IRON)
BBC has given more coverage to ‘fishermen’ protests today than it gave to all the anti-Brexit marches a fortnight ago #BrexitBroadcastingCorporation https://t.co/FRSdefz8F3

The problem with BBC's Brexit coverage is not bias but shallowness.
They are rarely able to ask hard questions of anyone, on any side, so nod along and are reliant on briefings.
Channel 4 broadcast news far better. https://t.co/ovd0Nd10FH
