@realDonaldTrump alleges a London hospital is as bad as a war zone hospital, with blood everywhere. No name given. No evidence given. Uses it to claim UK knife attacks are like US gun attacks. This, in the land of mass shootings. https://t.co/uOKzSfoeg9

"In interviews this week, [Giuliani] revealed that Cohen was compensated for far more than the Daniels debt—up to $470,000. This disclosure demands an answer: What else is hidden in the $340,000 difference between the Daniels settlement and Cohen's take?" https://t.co/LLmcpjSf9x

Senior UK officials working on #brexit have admitted the UK will need to remain in the EU Customs Union for years beyond the end of the 2020 transition, as the UK will simply not have customs systems or infrastructure ready in time.#ProjectRealityhttps://t.co/hlyEoq9Oc0

Now you tell them they're "weaponising" the very existence of their nation and state and economy -in Ireland, re: a choice which they did not make.
Is Brexit about not being responsible for anything? https://t.co/R1Zycj2FvE— Colm Ó Dóghair (@ColmDore) May 4, 2018
