If you believe the explosive devices sent to political leaders on the left are actually a ruse of the left, you belong to a political cult, not a party or ideology.

How CNN stayed on the air. Really incredible to see how this unfolded in real time and read about it behind the scenes. Most importantly, kudos to the bomb squads who kept everyone safe and alive everywhere these packages were sent. https://t.co/GPQOJbDlI7

NYT scoop: Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that Russian and Chinese spies are routinely eavesdropping.

The root problem is that what happens at the corporate level stays at the corporate level (Saudi joint ventures, Russian loans, whatever). It is not disclosed even if he owns the entire company. And without the tax returns we have no idea what is going on.https://t.co/47sO9dHEU5

BREXIT BRITAIN
Progress on the #Brexit negotiations can be 90%, 95% or even 99%, but as long as there is no solution for the Irish border, as long as the Good Friday agreement is not fully secured, for us in our Parliament progress is 0%.

The people who sold us Brexit. They insult the civil service. They insult our neighbours. They insult those of us who argued against it.
They do everything *except* deliver what they promised.
Enough is enough. Ordinary people deserve a say @peoplesvote_uk
