Alabama lawmakers just passed a bill banning virtually all abortions in the state, even for victims of rape and incest.

"We're telling a pregnant 12-year-old that she doesn't have a choice," Democrat Rodger Smitherman said. https://t.co/vy1qodgtEk

These 25 white men – all Republicans – just voted to ban abortion in Alabama https://t.co/SXQKELlko4

I refuse to believe that these Republican men represent the views of most Alabamians. Their action is both unconstitutional and shameful. The people of Alabama deserve to be on the #rightsideofhistory – not the side of extremists. Women deserve better. https://t.co/ky3oSeEDXC

A majority Republican all-male Supreme Court decided (7-2) in 1973 that such a sweeping abortion ban is unconstitutional because of the right to privacy. Alabama now wants to go back to the dark ages. The Court will just have to tell them NO.https://t.co/pZNbX8YRqv

The bill was reportedly drafted with the hope of reaching the Supreme Court to challenge Roe v. Wade with Kavanaugh in the court. Thanks for selling us down the river @SenatorCollins !

Alabama ranks 46th in health care. There is a public health crisis in Alabama, where children don't have access to adequate medical care, but for some goddamn reason, lawmakers are focused on controlling women's bodies.

This isn't about life. It's about controlling women. https://t.co/CO61PPgsrp

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay says it is time for MPs to "deliver on the referendum result".

MPs will vote on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, which enshrines the PM's Brexit plan into UK law, in the week beginning 3 June https://t.co/jY9qLESGs1 pic.twitter.com/pTmbjOFxhz

.⁦@theresa_may⁩ sets a deadline of 3rd June to agree a Brexit deal with Labour. In that sense the government is prepared to be held hostage by ⁦@jeremycorbyn⁩ till AFTER the EU elections – which is an odd look for ⁦@theresa_may⁩ to choose. But as I said… pic.twitter.com/hip8Afn33d

Presumably @theresa_may’s calculation in bringing back her Brexit deal for a vote in week of 3 June is that her party’s wipeout in the EU elections, likely to be announced a week earlier, will have so terrified her MPs that right at the last they will back her and her…

Labour sources say ‘no chance’ Brexit bill passes in first week June – is PM trying to use terror post EU elex meltdown to get backbenchers to come onside? Or just in the business of eking the authority she has left, day by day

Comedy gold from UKIP deputy leader, Mike Hookem, and @maitlis is superb.

It looks like UKIP have an immigration policy, which will involve some kind of mind-reading technique, to determine if Muslims have a ‘literalist interpretation of Islam’ 🤷🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/Q1pSKRNFkF
