1/2 Spoke to Karen Bradley. Told her in the strongest possible terms that her comments today are beyond unacceptable. Told her it is a resignation matter. However, that does not deal with the issue, as this goes right to the heart of British Government Policy.

DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson on Karen Bradley’s comments: “We have been involved in discussions with the Government to support our veterans, against the witch hunts against them. However no one should be above the law and all innocent victims deserve justice”

I observed most of this powerful evidence today. Inquest is ongoing. Karen Bradley would be well advised to listen to some of evidence to learn why she can’t make false statements or sweeping generalisations re context of state related deaths in NI.https://t.co/mw18s8NAeE

Oh well, that's OK then. The coroners, the judges, the Police Ombudsman, the Public Prosecution Service, the families seeking justice for their dead loved-ones can pack up and go home because Karen Bradley says their relatives were all killed in a "dignified and appropriate way",

Some Secretaries of State do little; some even stand still. A few have progressed forward. Karen Bradley is the first I recall to go massively backwards. https://t.co/eqe7WJw6ZF

Latest – Lords defeat the Government to enforce a customs union with the EU as part of any Brexit deal, by 207 v 141. A massive new headache for No10. Unclear whether PM will still have the votes to overturn the Trade Bill amendment in the Commons.

Amazing to see Labour spend *months* dancing around backing People’s Vote after the conference motion, FINALLY actually backing it after eight MPs split, and then after a half-hearted week Corbyn just u-turns again in the Mirror and backs soft Brexit. Amazing.

That’s not what Labour Party conference agreed! Our party’s version of Brexit has been rejected twice, & no confidence vote failed. 65% of voter now support @peoplesvote_uk. So should we. https://t.co/gNtl4IQwvU

"Train services from Paris to London were delayed and there were huge queues today as French customs staff staged 'Brexit-style' security checks at the Gare du Nord. One border guard declared: This will be what it is like after Brexit. Back to the 1970s!" https://t.co/p0ZEQme0y2

Ivanka uses trademarks to sell clothes.
Having a security clearance makes her a “player” in high level discussions (technology transfer, trade ….) with China and other countries.
That means they will give her trademarks….

Me w/ @MaxBoot “More than 2 yrs after the 2016 election, the US still does not have a comprehensive policy to counter and deter foreign interference in our elections. Indeed, the Trump admin is gutting the task forces established to do just that.” https://t.co/pDDuMlWNgT
