This really matters – DUP abstaining on Budget votes https://t.co/SeYKA36aAU

DUP sources say abstention tonight a warning to Tories, ‘Tory MPs need to realise that their jobs, their majorities, their careers depend on a good working relationship with the DUP and May doesn’t appear to be listening.’

DUP belief they can breach supply as a warning shot, without killing the deal, is that Tories breached confidence first.

The 48 letter fail is Brexit in microcosm. The bombastic overconfidence, the ‘how hard can it be’ attitude, the incredulity as bluster and fantasy meet reality and then the recriminations. https://t.co/6upOXCavuj

Terrific article from @hayward_katy “It is in the unionists’ lack of trust in British politicians, not Brussels, that the real problems lie.” DUP is wielding its influence over May in a huge gamble https://t.co/cU83qLYyuq

Our prime minister's entire political career boils down to a single promise: above all else I will eventually find a way to stop resourceful and/or courageous people from moving around

We should stop saying this. It isn’t true. There is no ‘jobs first’ Brexit to be had. Brexit, in all its forms, will cost us jobs, growth and opportunities. If the Tory plan fails to pass, we should call for a #Peoplesvote & a chance for the UK to regain our influence in the EU. https://t.co/GsP1lKhmlW

So, out of their Acosta nonsense, the White House has made it a punishable violation for anyone to say “could you please address the specific question I asked,” “could you please provide an example,” or “that’s actually not true” without their permission? https://t.co/mub4FYH9tx
