There is nothing "honourable" about this @theresa_may. You are attempting to force your deeply unpopular deal through Parliament for a third time after two historic defeats – and yet you refuse to let the public vote on it even once. #PutItToThePeoplehttps://t.co/pCAji1baKi

If anyone is still in any doubt about Brexit being fuck all to do with what’s best for the UK and everything to do with the self-serving internal bickering of some bastards, this thread should definitely set your mind at rest. https://t.co/FyAP84gFKH

Important to remember; business in NI isn't really the DUP's business model. Their model, nurtured during the years of the Troubles when HMG had to spend 10s of billions in NI, is cash handouts on a one community only basis…https://t.co/7rskJbGX31

Proper scoop from @DanielBoffey. EU believes May is finished. Doesn’t trust her successor to honour promises. Doesn’t want UK having a say in EU policy in transition. We ought to be ready to unilaterally withdraw A50 as an emergency measure https://t.co/XaLlrlCdka

What I find most heartbreaking about Brexit is what 🇬🇧 could have achieved over the past three years if it hadn’t been for this obsession.

“I was on the BBC a great deal before (Brexit)– maybe 3 or 4 times a month on television & often on the radio, including the Today programme. The BBC now has me on around 2-3 times a year. And, the last time I was on I was told not to talk about Brexit. https://t.co/LXx6v6jOFd

Noteworthy thread from a noteworthy person, the reality is that the UK's politics will be totally dominated by Brexit for at least the next three to four years, at a time when its party politics and economy will be frankly falling apart. The outlook is dire. https://t.co/0tLJYTq9py

One thing fairly clear. If there is a second referendum, the Remain campaign would be advised to keep Jeremy Corbyn well away from anything they do. #Ridge

The FAA pushed to protect Boeing, even after its planes fell from the sky. Its lobbyists worked the administration hard. The president grew heavily & unusually involved in the decision — eventually announcing it even after he said he wouldn't. Our latest: https://t.co/0lrOATiyZw

My God, if this is true this is HUGE. Safety analysis of the 737 Max had "several crucial flaws". Seattle Times reporting that "both Boeing and the FAA were informed and were asked for responses 11 days ago, BEFORE the second crash" of the Ethiopian jet: https://t.co/bYLBG1ZeO8
