.@SecretaryAcosta must step down. As US Attorney, he engaged in an unconscionable agreement w/ Jeffrey Epstein kept secret from courageous, young victims preventing them from seeking justice. This was known by @POTUS when he appointed him to the cabinet. #AcostaResign

This is pure Farage, and represents the point where Brexit goes full Iraq. Like it was always going to. As in, the point at which core cheerleaders back away, pointing fingers, saying the decision was sound, but the execution was flawed. Which was rubbish then and is rubbish now.
