Epic 9 hour thread from @IanDunt and still going. He deserves a knighthood for wading through the ocean of bullshit oozing out of the Commons. He'd probably pin it to Boris Johnson's liver if he had the chance. https://t.co/p5AxvI2l4O

Another political opportunist who caused great damage to this country simply walks away. Farage should apologise for a career spent whipping up hatred against migrants, his shameful role in the referendum campaign, and for threatening to "pick up a rifle" over Brexit. He won't. https://t.co/qnC8X4mBKh

Ah…so here it comes. The plot twist. Heaver is paid flunky of @arron_banks. Farage's resignation has nothing to do with Yaxley-Lennon. With Farage, it's only ever about Farage. This is clearing the way for what happens next… https://t.co/2t5snyCXlc

Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about his conversations with then Russian ambassador Kislyak. Itâs important to remember the people in Trumpâs regime were willing to sell out of country for their own interests. They are traitors! https://t.co/TpJMkbYwjk

Remember this tweet John Dowd fell on the sword for and (unconvincingly) claimed he wrote? Hopefully today we'll find out whether it was accurate – if Trump knew Flynn had lied to the FBI when he fired him, and by extension when he asked Comey to back off the investigation. https://t.co/92moGNELkf

Secret business dealings with the Russians. Boasts of millions from the Saudis. Americans deserve to know our President is acting in our interest, not his own financial self-interest, or because he has been compromised.
Now, with a new majority in the House, we can find out. https://t.co/fqzihxWrv4

This may be remembered as one of the dumbest statements ever by an American president. If Trump remembered some history & economics, he'd know what a disaster the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs were & how they worsened the Depression. Trump seems hellbent on creating The Trump Recession. https://t.co/PGzFyUUcwu

One of the few conservative anti-Trump outlets is folding. All of US conservatism, inside and outside media, is converging around the same populist, anti-intellectual white resentment. It's Trump's party now. https://t.co/SeaAgmIIXE
