Few have written as many words attacking me as @OborneTweets over the years. I forgive him every one of them for this seminal piece on Brexit. This is the kind of honesty and seriousness we need from our politicians right now. https://t.co/QDi15SLH20

This British fruit farmer is almost entirely dependent on EU migrants to work on his farm – he also voted for Brexit.

I still can’t get over the fact that @WeyandSabine more or less wrote the Brexit deal, has huge influence on UK’s future, AND regularly tweets informative stuff about Brexit — and yet only 55 MPs follow her on Twitter, less than follow Larry the Downing Street cat. pic.twitter.com/3oRIvA5vwJ

Now British manufacturers are calling on @theresa_may to #RevokeArt50. Such a shame the official @uklabour opposition thwarted my cross party motion for a #revocation backstop last week #indicativevotes2 #Brexit https://t.co/vyfIAx5RsR

Well, I'd love to know what evidence @afneil has for this statement. The Sun was a passionate cheerleader for Brexit. And within 24 hrs of BeLeave receiving the £675k we know now was illegal….guess what Sun's headline was? Go on…have a WILD & CRAZY guess.. https://t.co/BIqHsq6ID0

The horrors just don’t stop. Everyone who had a hand in the current migrant detention policies should resign. https://t.co/TBYPhbU1tD

If Nielsen does get pushed out, the story everyone tells should be that Trump's immigration agenda is a full-blown catastrophe on every level, that he's looking for a scapegoat for this, and that he's incapable of understanding *why* his agenda is failing so miserably.

President Trump declared that the U.S. was “full” and called its asylum system “a scam,” tying his push to close the country’s borders to undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers to an entreaty for Jewish voters to support his re-election campaign. https://t.co/i18ZRz9LAU

This is a truly staggering fact: Wall Street bonuses totaled $27.5 billion last year, which is more 3 times the combined annual earnings of *all* American workers employed full-time at the federal minimum wage.
We can, and must, raise the minimum wage and tax the rich.
