Watching the American flag go up and down the White House flag pole over whether and how to honor the life of John McCain is a perfect symbol for an administration morally and emotionally adrift from common decency.

"there were a number of people within the White House who were disgusted, upset and dismayed. So I think in addition to all of that public pressure there was also some private pressure" – @AshleyRParker on Trump's reluctance to issue a statement on McCain

BREXIT BRITAIN
Macron: Brexit “is a sovereign choice, which we must respect, but it can’t come at the expense of the European Union’s integrity”. The French president not remotely hinting at compromise with @theresa_may https://t.co/7LUOo2xs4B

“People don’t really believe that at the end of March 2019 there will be no food in the shops, hospitals will be running short of medicines and that planes will be prevented from flying. A no-deal Brexit is seen as another millennium bug.” https://t.co/H5zyglgwZD

Labour's @tom_watson is right: there's enough evidence for a Mueller-style enquiry into Brexit rule-breaking. https://t.co/AXMRxriqB3

The word ‘dangerous’ is much overused about politicians. But Mr Rees-Mogg falls into the category. He’s a reckless zealot drunk on unjustified self belief. Astounding, as a unionist, that he knows so little about N Ireland’s past & seems to care so little about its future. https://t.co/5TORLNH4V4

Rather than be a fucking grownup and try and deal with your own ridiculous mess you quit the government so that you can whine from the sidelines and pretend it all went tits up because nobody did what you said.
You are Nigel Farage but with slightly shittier hair. https://t.co/fr9uOuMVoC
