Dear @theresa_may,
Thank you for your letter.
From the very first sentence to the very last, it is a tissue of revisionism, wilful misdirection, false equivalences, and downright lies.
You have a lot of bloody gall writing this to me.#SacktheBrexitDeal

This is not true – Northern Ireland would have the economic deal of the century. Access to EU & UK. Scotland & Wales are kicking themselves https://t.co/6fLHbSymfc

Scotland voted to remain in the EU. Our rights as EU citizens & rights to free movement throughout the EU must not be taken away. Westminster has to show respect for Scotland & our sovereign rights as defined by the claim of right. Ultimately independence the only option

I will recommend that we approve on Sunday the outcome of the #Brexit negotiations. No one has reasons to be happy. But at least at this critical time, the EU27 has passed the test of unity and solidarity. https://t.co/N3EexasL2n

Theresa May’s letter to the UK.I’m sorry to say I think it is full of falsehoods about the Brexit Deal, and what kind of future UK faces. I’m going to catalogue the fakeshiods in a thread.First, “we will take back control over our borders”. UK NEVER lost control over borders. 1 pic.twitter.com/qQ1BiC9SWP

The Gibraltar story is like so many Brexit stories, in that if you'd fallen asleep a moment before it started and woken up a moment after it ended, you wouldn't be any less informed about the state of play than anyone else.

Rather than divide and conquer the EU, Britain has shown how isolated it always was, an island nation that never embraced the European integration project and at best misread its own importance to it https://t.co/9lx4xwsTHp
