Sons who brag about Russian money. A history of shady Russian deals. Paranoia about scrutiny of his businesses. And a harassment campaign against the government's top experts in Russian crime.
There really are a lot of reasons to worry about laundering. https://t.co/SuDTtAKsAk

Not a coincidence that the first White House briefing in nearly 3 weeks starts with touting success of the economy. @realDonaldTrump prefers to focus on that than the Woodward book, NYT op-ed and McCain funeral, none of which has been addressed in the briefing room yet. pic.twitter.com/w1S4gYUtfA

Worth noting that an aide to the president is acknowledging Trump was spreading false information earlier this morning (though Hassett blamed WH aides). Most of the time the WH never admits this.

@BorisJohnson is "a child of our times – a blond populist fornicator in the mould of Trump,” says one former cabinet minister, who supported him for the leadership in 2016 but would not do so again.

Last year Liam Fox said a post Brexit trade deal would be the "easiest in history".
Now he warns against "irrational positivity" & admits no "guarantee that everything" will "be rosy."
Shouldn't members of the public have the same opportunity to change their minds? #PeoplesVote

Thoughtful thread. I don't think this is what is happening because it would require May to have principles and convictions beyond a pathological desire to reduce immigration.
However, if this was actually what was happening, things would not look very different. https://t.co/TBuIyG2Vte

UK Brexit Dept rejects a Freedom of Information request from Reuters on whether it has sought legal advice on staging a second referendum, or reversing Article 50, Says not in the public interest and would weaken UK negotiating position. Preposterous.
