A fun fact is that 2/3 of the people arrested for violence were not Parisian, nor even from the Paris region. 😐 This isn’t the Commune of 1871. These are primarily far-right thugs looking to break things. https://t.co/eccZiedeYU

Typically odious post from @montie about the riots in Paris. Look at the woman with the bleeding forehead, then compare with the woman with the bleeding forehead in the report of the violence after the Catalonian independence referendum. She doesn't have much luck, does she? pic.twitter.com/6yN66KZlWF

You know, I used to think this way. Now I think that Trump could have campaigned in fluent Russian with rubles glued to his forehead and people would have flocked into stadiums with "F*** your feelings" shirts and voted for him anyway. https://t.co/RKEbW5oFO0

“When you were dealing with George H.W. Bush, he was available, he was accessible, he was informed and gosh, that’s what journalists like.

George H.W. Bush's human side, so beloved by D.C. pundits, would be forgotten if he hadn't won the White House with the racism of his dirty '88 campaign, backed by a bogus war on drugs. My column on why the truth about our presidents matters so much now https://t.co/XTZlAJip8r

This is amazing. Watch @nigel_farage greet Robert Mercer in lobby of Trump tower, Dec 15, 2016. Amazing for many reasons: 1) Mercer bankrolled Trump, Breitbart UK & Cambridge Analytica 2) @andywigmore told @ObserverUK Mercer helped them because Brexit was "petri dish" for Trump https://t.co/ZVtX4BGgu1

Having moved slowly for 29 months, the collapse of Brexit is about to speed up dramatically. Brexit deal dead in 9 days, possibly sooner, & I expect an in-principle commitment to a referendum by early New Year, possibly sooner. Possible that Mrs May will even propose this herself

Not enjoying my Brexit advent calendar to be honest. 48% of the reviews said 'don't buy this it's just a box of angry scorpions' but 52% of the reviews said 'stop complaining about the scorpions' and now I'm covered in scorpions.
