“It was a pretty wary Theresa May who walked into that theatre. She’s saying, listen to me, I’ve taken massive political risks, now it’s over to you, you need to move.”

Salzburg summit hasn't started yet, but the scale of May's problem on NI border is already clear. Her pitch to EU27 leaders tonight: how would you feel if your country was carved in two?https://t.co/sZRYXSjPjA

Time no healer for @DavidDavisMP – his most trenchant demolition yet of Chequers. Which he has timed to tell leaders of EU27 that they may have little to gain if they are minded to give hope in Salzburg to @Theresa_may that Chequers could be basis of Brexit deal pic.twitter.com/53TPCWsPo4

Now the President is saying he “doesn’t have an Attorney General,” casting further doubt the future of the Mueller investigation. We need to protect the independence of the Special Counsel and allow the DOJ & law enforcement to do their jobs. https://t.co/YLjnsvAKoe

A remarkable thread:
I overheard a young man on the train on the way home today, talking to another young man. Holding hands. In college, I guessed. About that age anyway. Much younger than I am.
