Remarkable protest scene in Squirrel Hill. Demonstrators are neither yelling nor chanting. They don’t seem angry. Old and young, they are walking peacefully, singing softly and letting their very presence (and placards) deliver their message. https://t.co/kpC56QlHDD

As Trump becomes more politically and potentially legally vulnerable, he’ll act increasingly illiberally and illegally to protect himself. His core base and opportunists will cheer him on, but the rest of us should unite in the defense of our Constitution, decency and freedom. https://t.co/TOpj5os37s

Now they're trying to tell Native Americans in Sioux County SD that their votes will be disqualified on the basis of the *color of the ink* they use to vote.
Apparently they're going to throw everything they've got at this. Just astonishing.https://t.co/uAzQfVwOX5

Under-reported point. Brexit has already hit the public finances hard. https://t.co/59X4qItpjc

In No-Deal Brexit, France will impose checks at Calais reflecting that it and the UK are no longer in a single market.
This is not:
– a 'go slow'
– bullying
– extortion
– revenge for AgincourtDescribing it that way is an innacurate applause line making the debate dumber.

This from @TheIFS is jaw-dropping: "Health spending will have risen from
23% of public service spending in 2000 to 29% in 2010, and is set to reach 38% by 2023-24". Are we making a rational choice in reconfiguring the state as essentially a giant health service and little else?— Robert Peston (@Peston) October 30, 2018
Let me get this straight. @ukhomeoffice says EU citizens will have to prove their right to work in the UK after March next year – but it's 5 months away and the registration process has not been rolled out. We're on course for another Home Office scandal on the scale of Windrush. https://t.co/iRdL48bfXH
