The level of apparent self-delusion from UK government sources quoted in this article would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
The rest of the EU equally can't decide whether to laugh or cry or simply be staggered at the incompetence.https://t.co/KjdNiKXp0n

EU source on whether May can persuade Macron to break from the Commission on Brexit: "I don't believe Macron is going to knife Barnier. And it's very odd of the UK government to brief out that he might."

WATCH: Mark Carney, Bank of England Governor, issues his strongest warning yet on the risk of a 'no deal' Brexit, calling it 'highly undesirable'.
The threat of a 'no deal' Brexit is rising because Theresa Mayâs Brexit plan satisfies nobody. Please RT: https://t.co/eteA4ocX5I

Seriously? "No deal Brexit highly undesirable" was equally the message from the prospectus of the investment outfit you set up in Dublin. We see you, hypocritical charlatan. https://t.co/qa5yVC70wo

An example why so many are p***d off with @BBCNews The govenor of the Bank of England makes a statement about no deal Brexit and all the bbc report is what several extremist Tory MPs with minimal economic expertise think about his statement, without telling us what Carney said!

So much for a quiet summer. Barnier has finally butchered the Chequers deal, and with it the British government, prime minister and entire Brexit edifice. My latest on its sad demise https://t.co/hLZlCsV5Iq

Yaxley-Lennon (aka 'Tommy Robinson') was on Fox News owned by Rupert Murdoch, where he thanked members of the Trump administration for helping him. This is Trump & Murdoch promoting fascism in the UK. It is a foreign war against our democracy.#StopBrexit #Brexit #FBPE pic.twitter.com/B5CsDb56TE

âAll you need to know about equal marriage in Northern Irelandâ
Decent summary but wrongly claims equal marriage âis a hugely divisive issueâ.
It really isnât. Polls show 70%+ in favour, 20% against.Public opinion is clear. We just need legislation. https://t.co/zY4vC67zRq

Weâre 25 minutes into tonightâs mega rally and Trump hasnât said a word about Russiaâs 2018 election interference threat, which is so serious that it compelled his national security team to stage a rare collective show of force today.
