In most negotiations, being prepared to walk away is key. But Brexit talks are akin to bargaining for a parachute having already jumped out of the plane https://t.co/5O6abxr2dC

I don't understand why we're going ahead with Brexit so I'm going to peacefully sit in Parliament Square and say just that.

"the probability of any government getting a deal on terms superior to EU membership is zero." Interesting article although the bit I quote has of course been the case right from the start. #StopBrexit#PeoplesVote https://t.co/iQ0OfThOhX

The laying of a wreath by Jeremy Corbyn on the graves of the terrorist who perpetrated the Munich massacre and his comparison of Israel to the Nazis deserves unequivocal condemnation from everyone – left, right and everything in between

Corbyn is having a shocker. He should be smashing it whilst May wades through her Brexit nightmare. This is like when Leicester won the title when everyone in the Premier League was shit and Arsenal still couldn’t win it. Lord Bucket Head could sneak in as the next Prime Minister

Boris Johnson spoke to fascist Steve Bannon, and then instigated a racist dog-whistle news story in order to pull the media agenda back to the base level that won him the referendum in 2016, and away from increasing public scepticism over Brexit.

My latest on the FBI firing. While streams of consciousness on Twitter and calculated blows aimed at undermining the Mueller probe may be cathartic for the President, he is making it extremely easy for Strzok to claim he was treated unfairly.https://t.co/T9q89UoMFS
