"Parliament should reject Theresa May’s rotten Brexit deal… No one voted for the chaotic halfway house now proposed. Suez became a byword for duplicity and self-delusion. Brexit, on the prime minister’s proposal, is taking the same course." https://t.co/sMRyx0TT7Z

My old paper says we’re in the Brexs*hit but offers no workable way out. The current editor and the former Mail editor helped create this mess by allowing liars like Boris to mislead the readers and doing so itself. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/297QtDqeQJ

Good thread on when the backstop would kick in and how it would operate.
It does the opposite of breaking up UK: it gives NI unfettered access to UK *and* EU markets.
DUP voting against is complete madness.
If Brexit happens, this is the best insurance policy NI could have. https://t.co/eZl6IP8xxq

My first post on where I stand in terms of brexit: I’m hoping that politics, chaos, and inertia will all combine to force a no vote—> #PeoplesVote and we can reverse this tragic process. If this is to be the PM’s legacy then I would call this political mastery pic.twitter.com/UUB0amqIWx

Reporters tend to say Trump claimed something "without evidence." But that gives too much gravity to weightless statements. Case in point: Trump's voter fraud claims. "It's a fever dream," @jaketapper said 👍🏼 https://t.co/J9QAoAMSyV pic.twitter.com/3JdWFphS9s
