There is a form of de facto amnesty of those convicted of Troubles killings – including British soldiers. Under the terms of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement they will only serve two years of any jail term.#bloodysunday https://t.co/MRGdHxCYIP

"Having watched all of the Bloody Sunday shooters testify, I can say with certainty that they include not only unapologetic killers, but unrelenting liars."

Every civilian who died or was injured on Bloody Sunday was an innocent victim who posed no danger to anyone. My thoughts are with all of their families right now. A decision has been made today to pursue a prosecution and it is very important that no one prejudice that process.

So the amendment which was pushed by people who don’t support it and not voted for by people who do has failed. Now MPs voting on an amendment to another amendment. If that passes (and the amendment as amended) the government will vote against its own amendment as amended. Clear?

If Brexiters were to be successfull in their efforts in Brussels in lobbying for a veto on an extension, they’d end up with a revocation of Article 50. #brexit #BrexitChaos
