While my (our) poll numbers are good, with the Economy being the best ever, if it weren’t for the Rigged Russian Witch Hunt, they would be 25 points higher! Highly conflicted Bob Mueller & the 17 Angry Democrats are using this Phony issue to hurt us in the Midterms. No Collusion!

Hmmm. @JohnKerry got Iran to shut down its nuclear weapons program. @realDonaldTrump has heaped praise – in ways “unseemly, unprecedented, and inconsistent with US foreign policy” – on the most brutal dictator in the world in North Korea, and he has achieved nothing. https://t.co/m1NzogDMYH

How badly did #Russia’s interview with the #Skripal poisoning suspects backfire?
One viewer said: “Until today I perceived this Skripal story as Britain’s provocation. But once I saw these two idiots, my view has been shaken.”

BREXIT BRITAIN
Shameful decision by the UK government to delay implementation of Magnitsky Act until after Brexit. This makes no sense and defies the government’s promises during debate to get tough on Russia after the Skripal poisoning https://t.co/sBH6w64SBs

In terms of food, Brexit isn't something happening in 6 months time. It's already here. For months I've been reporting the state of Britain's supply chain for this piece. The view from the front line of the battle to keep Britain fed is less than cheery 1/ https://t.co/61Ab04vUjc
