I guess Axios is claiming that its scoop isn't wrong because Rosenstein offered to resign to Kelly. But that's not how they characterized it on social media and their scoop wouldn't have gotten half as much traction if they'd hedged more. pic.twitter.com/j0z6ZiMVlB

Dean Baquet is a hero of mine and I also respect you immensely, Erik—but it is not accurate to say the Times “declined” to publish Ramirez’s story. Their reporter pursued Ramirez aggressively. She declined to participate because she was talking exclusively to the New Yorker. https://t.co/13r2jSS1Fo

BREXIT BRITAIN
Brexit apparently means
Brexit
Norway +
Norway
Norway –
Canada +
Canada/ Japan/ South Korea
UK GOV’s Chequers
Labours a Custom Union and a new single market
No deal deal
No deal no deal
Which one did you vote for?#peoplesvote

So that's it – all 'technical notes' on no-deal #Brexit published and there's nothing on citizens' rights.
We've got guidance for satellites, but if you're an EU citizen living here or a Brit abroad, you're on your own.
Govt's priorities are all wrong. We need a #PeoplesVote.

Like the Labour manifesto, much of the more ‘radical’ stuff the party comes off with is popular. That’s not the whole story of course, the salience of individual policies and what they say about the macro-offer is important too. https://t.co/3Cn45cGPI2

If I can fuck up my mental health, lose my job, have just enough to pay a months rent & put my family’s life in danger, all that while taking on the entire Conservative establishment, as a citizen…why can’t Corbyn at least stand up & call for a 2nd referendum? A damn shame.
