Moderates are leaving Labour in part because of its anti-Semitism. Jeremy Corbyn has referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as his “friends,” consorted with Holocaust deniers and laid a wreath to commemorate the Palestinian Black September terrorists. My column: https://t.co/5oz4e82NZK

If you watch this you'll see why departing Labour MP s today may not be the last – quite something for deputy, elected by members to say this, 'I love this party. But sometimes I no longer recognise it. ' https://t.co/JmppXoImgo

Is this just odd timing or some kind of weird message?

I grew up in Hatton’s Liverpool. He made the words “Labour” and “unelectable” interchangeable on a national level. The fact that today’s Labour has a place for him and not for @lucianaberger says it all. pic.twitter.com/W7jq31B6NM

Jaguar Land Rover, then Nissan, now Honda announce thousands of jobs to be lost in the UK. The PM's bungled Brexit negotiations continue to send chills through the economy. It's time to end this uncertainty and take the prospect of no deal off the table. https://t.co/sLLZZUjWBE

Honda to leave UK with a potential loss of 3500 jobs in 2022. It wont be long for Nissan to make same decision .Sunderland you tipped the scales in 2016 vote and now you will pay with mass unemployment in your area not just Nissan factory but all the peripheral suppliers

Trump tweets, last 24 hrs:
1. My deputy attorney general is a criminal
2. I'm being targeted by an "illegal coup"
3. The people investigating me should be jailed
4. Television networks that air jokes about Republicans should face "retribution"

Lindsey said the FBI & DOJ may have been planning a coup to oust Trump. He says he’s not sure who to trust – the amoral liar and mobster in the WH or our career justice professionals. Really?
Seriously, @LindseyGrahamSC – what has Putin got on you? https://t.co/dGdS9dIEGw

Congress shouldn’t tolerate Trump’s talk about putting Mueller in jail.
Nixon didn’t dare threaten Archie Cox this way. If he had he would have been out much sooner.
Mueller and Cox have much in common but Trump is far worse than Nixon.https://t.co/lHRRKyxD35 via @thedailybeast— Richard W. Painter (@RWPUSA) February 18, 2019
Removing a President from office via the 25th Amendment is not a "coup." Voicing concerns about a President's fitness for office is not a coup either.
But I guess tossing the word "coup" out there is good for ratings, huh? https://t.co/muxnF7A3vN

Still shocking no matter how many times you replay that phrase.
I believe Putin.
It was a digital foreign coup, not an election, and Trump is a traitor for Russia. Yes, it’s really just that dumb and banal and evil. https://t.co/nzGtXdNpT8

Notice that Trump allies Alan Dershowitz and Lindsey Graham have both raised the specter of a “coup” against him in recent days. Almost as if they are priming the country for an alternative truth.
Also note there is concern that both of these men may be compromised/blackmailed.
