Opinion: May and Corbyn are steering a ship of fools on to the Brexit rocks.
Time for a real, legal, honest referendum – on the facts not the fantasy.#VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw @UKEUchallenge @bremaininspainhttps://t.co/ukB3JWivx6— Sue Wilson #FBPE (@Suewilson91) February 11, 2019
If @theresa_may deliberately impoverishes the country to protect her party, she will be remembered as the worst Prime Minister in modern British history.https://t.co/OvJWViABuJ

Brexit can never get so bad that Theresa May cannot somehow make it worse. https://t.co/quiHwkFJVx

It is well past time @Keir_Starmer stood up to Corbyn and Co and publicly.
This is the clearest possible evidence of contempt for Starmer by Corbyn who keeps on putting two finger up at him and the members and Policy motion.
Why does he not call it out and resign from FB? https://t.co/9RI3P19L09

If Jeremy Corbyn did vote Remain in 2016 – as he says – the big questions are when did he change his mind about the EU, and why exactly? Letās hope he lets someone ask him those questions one day https://t.co/CqFDzN9Nk8

Don't forget: Jeremy Corbyn wanted the UK to trigger Article 50 the *morning after* the referendum. To quote the wisest of Brexit correspondents, still freaks my nut out to this day.https://t.co/SoRVlXM4r5

some Labour activists would still believe Corbyn wants a 2nd referendum even if he marched down Whitehall holding a burning EU flag

I wish I could say this piece was exaggerated or overblown. It is not. That is why responsible MPs of all parties will have to act before the month is out to prevent no-deal Brexit on 29 March. https://t.co/8743znQhgX

Quick legal tip: You should not kill and eat puppies, or kittens, irrespective of whether Brexit happens. Itās already generally frowned upon by the courts. https://t.co/UOZ4m3gFUT

"Who said go to El Paso, Texas where you are overwhelmingly unpopular, where you've already been caught lying… and where Beto O'Rourke might actually have a counter? The split screen is going to be a first for Trump." – @SykesCharlie w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/FHbzFWGy9M

.@jaketapper: The President is using a false story that the barriers built in El Paso are exhibit A for why he needs the $5.7 billion he's demanded for a wall.
Here's the problem: Whatever your position on barriers or walls, the case Trump lays out about El Paso is simply false. pic.twitter.com/JEAD6PYOgQ

Since the Court in 1976 said the mega-wealthy can spend what it takes, voters have rarely been aroused by the cry, "He's trying to buy the election." Enter Howard Schultz who seems to be single-handedly discrediting self-funders. My @BrennanCenter column: https://t.co/NbawBDV7pw

Here he goes again: Bolton says Iran "continues to seek nuclear weapons."
Just 2 weeks ago, DNI Coats said: "we do not believe Iran is currently
undertaking the key activities…to produce a nuclear device."And the IAEA has repeatedly stated Iran is complying with the JCPOA. https://t.co/4kUAMgW0k1
