Right, @UKLabour.
The no confidence vote failed, so an electionās off the table.
May has rejected your soft-Brexit ācompromiseā, so thatās off the table.
Three options remain on the table:
– Support Mayās Brexit
– Ratify vs Remain referendum.
– Revoke Art50Your call. https://t.co/CGtgoPb6UF

This seems eminently sensible, and therefore unlikely to happen. But who knows any more? https://t.co/70b2IfzTeX

So the inexplicable refusal by PM To seek #Article50 extension is actually to do with Tory prospects in English local elections. That is insane and despicable: Theresa May warned Tories face local election wipe-out if Brexit is delayed beyond March 29 https://t.co/Ac0uBlSEzU

I connected the dots between the Saudis' hacking skills, the National Enquirer and its ties to Trump and MBS, Bezos and the possible connection to Khashoggi's murder and POTUS 45's 2016 election. This is about A LOT more than a selfie. My new column https://t.co/qWJCgfEChZ

Itās clearer and clearer that the Saudi government has a deliberate strategy of helping Saudi nationals who commit serious crimes escape justice in the US. This is dangerous and unacceptable. Thatās why I introduced the ESCAPE of Saudi Nationals Act. https://t.co/3VjZ8dblJK https://t.co/qyoHrEL1Nq

Remember Alan Kurdi, the 3-year old who shook the world when his body washed on shore in the Mediterranean?
A German NGO just named it's migrant rescue vessel after him.
Now the SS Alan Kurdi will be saving other migrants from drowning. pic.twitter.com/Uv40uAf9wD
