I am the very terror of a top attorney general
With beetle brows and booming vowels both baritone and tenoral,
I hold command of any court from magistrate's to coroners,
But practise mostly in the art of bellowing at foreigners https://t.co/EaJJstK4I4— Staedtler (@Staedtler) March 10, 2019
So apparently Theresa May & Philip Hammond will offer Tory MPs a £20billion ‘bribe’ to pump money into public services – but ONLY if parliament votes for May’s Brexit deal.
It appears that austerity only ends if the government gets what it wants through blackmail and bribery. pic.twitter.com/BSonZGir0w— James Melville (@JamesMelville) March 10, 2019
Thread..
1/4 Since it seems that the recent negotiations with the EU haven’t gone terribly well, the PM’s deal is likely to be defeated again on Tuesday. The Commons will probably then vote against a no deal Brexit and in favour of an application to extend Article 50 to give us more time.

But…
Brexit: John McDonnell shifts from people's vote to arguing for yet another go at Labour's 'deal' which wd fit fine w May's withdrawal agreement – shambolic, fudged & total failure of leadership at a time when halting brexit & 2nd ref only rational routehttps://t.co/qckFTSJuKo

Money shapes Middle East policy.
For over a century that money has come from OIL.
Hotel Emolumentum is a variation on that theme.
We indulge anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, destroy our planet and coddle dictators because they have OIL.
