Thirty months after the Brexit referendum, and two months before Brexit, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom this evening went outside 10 Downing Street to ask other politicians to tell her what to do.

Any Number 10 aide who briefed that as a reason for journalists to extend their shift is a fucking idiot.
Any Number 10 aide who didn’t tell May a 10pm speech with no news was idiotic and would backfire should resign.

Theresa May says Parliament blocking her bullshit Brexit deal is somehow a “subversion of democracy”.
The real subversion of democracy happened when Vote Leave decided to cheat by committing the largest breach of campaign finance law in British history.

Excellent news. An exclusive new poll has revealed a majority believe Scotland should have #Indyref2 if #Brexit goes ahead. More than 56%. The clock is ticking down to a very important announcement from @theSNP #BringItOn https://t.co/bv5y3GhtTT

Do not understand PM’s refusal to consider 2nd referendum or opting for remain now that her Brexit plan crushed and she won no-confidence vote. Zero evidence she can produce a plan that wins parliament’s support and ok to EU. Why cant remain be on agenda of cross-party talks?

Around the world we look a nation obsessed with the past, fighting wars long ago won against foes who are friends. Angry. Self-harming. Deluded by lies.

President Trump might be able to keep the government closed indefinitely. But Nancy Pelosi can deny him use of the country’s most effective pulpit to make his case to the public, @russellberman reports: https://t.co/uHXicBOfX7
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) January 16, 2019
If Trump now reopens Govt, he visibly surrenders to Pelosi.
If Trump keeps Govt closed, he bleeds support faster. Workers miss next paycheck, air travel delays, govt services fail, and economy stalls.
Trump built the trap and walked into it. Pelosi just locked it behind him.

Here’s the question: If @realDonaldTrump feels he could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and his base would stick with him, why is he so fearful they would flee if he opened their government?
