Here's the deal: Trump administration sees separating children from parents at border as leverage for immigration negotiations & as a deterrent for crossings. Many officials – including senior immigration aide Stephen Miller – have argued for the policy. https://t.co/fYFMsnIXK2

On this Father’s Day I’m thinking of the thousands of children separated from their parents at the border. These children should not be a negotiating tool. And reuniting them with their families would reaffirm America’s belief in & support for all parents who love their children.

Completely phoney. Nothing to do with #brexitdividend which is negative. Will need to tax or borrow more as Institute of Fiscal Studies explains. Let us raise taxes for #NHS70 but be honest about reasons. https://t.co/p9zTlYrGpi

It’s a disgrace that @BBCNews gives any credibility whatsoever to the government lie that there is a #Brexit dividend, when the economy and public finances will be badly hit by Brexit. The @bbc is colluding in #FakeNews https://t.co/3VEYSAqFW2
— Richard Corbett (@RichardGCorbett) June 17, 2018
All fiscal planning is meaningless until the Brexit agreement is finalised and we can start to estimate how hard it will hit the public finances. Brexit – an entity that we can't directly see but one that's pulling everything in politics towards it – is the real black hole here. pic.twitter.com/qEOlPHWzHh

Key short term question is what will UK political elites do when – as looks v v likely – Electoral Commission rules that Vote Leave also broke electoral law. Will there be a reaction from politicians and civil society? Or will look other way on democratic process? https://t.co/kz7dwb2V3o
