This is incredible. @arawnsley buried the lede — the White House is claiming that North Korea promised to allow US and South Korean experts to visit Punggye-ri to do "advance work" before the test site demolition before reneging.https://t.co/H6qNGeilkf pic.twitter.com/VWrjw9W7E6

*There's* the racist dog-whistle I was waiting for, @JenniferJJacobs.
Trump not decrying Roseanne's language sends exactly the permissive signal America's racists were waiting for.
The chances of him decrying her language were always zero. He's a racist. https://t.co/AXdr3l2UyB

Asked what Trump’s reaction was to Roseanne, Sarah Sanders said yesterday:
"The president is focused on North Korea. He’s focused on trade deals. And he’s focused on rebuilding our military, the economy. And that’s what he’s spending his time on; not responding to other things." pic.twitter.com/orT2ZbdGlb

Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko turns up at a news conference less than 24 hours after police reported he had been shot and killed. The country's security services said his death was faked to foil a plot to take his life. https://t.co/ff14YjK4RA

Look at reaction of Babchenko’s colleagues in Kyiv when they saw him alive and well.

But the Tory/DUP Government think they know better than the business community as to what is best for our economy. Lethal combination of arrogance and denial is jeopardising all of our futures.https://t.co/uQZ7DZ6hqD

“What this shows is that there is an electoral dividend for Labour in many seats if they move position and oppose Brexit. Not only is it right for the country for Labour to do that, it’s also good for Labour.”https://t.co/TKp8d4bl3c

'Brexit: British voters took benefits of EU citizenship for granted, Luxembourg prime minister says'
He's absolutely right. We currently have the right to work, live and retire in 27 other countries, and we're throwing it all away for a unicorn delusion. https://t.co/uwCGj8QO3V

Iain Duncan Smith on Brexit: “Either live with it or find somewhere else to live”, or in other words, “be meekly subservient to my opinions or leave the country”.
He has a complete inability to tolerate someone else having opinions that are different to his own.— James Melville (@JamesMelville) May 30, 2018
