An economic crisis is soon set to envelop the know-nothing Johnsonian zealots. Sterling’s weakness – a 2 year low- will continue. Housing transactions down 16.5% on June 2018. Foreign Direct Investment down. Business investment flat. Car industry in crisis. So ignorant it hurts.

On the bright side, the pound sterling is not the worst performing currency in the world today. That accolade goes to the Madagascan Ariary. The pound, on the other hand, is only the second-worst performing currency in the entire world pic.twitter.com/bwJLNID8Ho

However bad your first day in work was, at least you didn't cheerily suggest tearing up the Good Friday Agreement; 35 page document crucial to your job, and your nation's history, which you admitted not having read some time ago, and clearly haven't since. https://t.co/fOHDCIrFzz

Waiting for GOP (and other) outrage to explode on this — Trump blatantly tying US troop numbers in Afghanistan to a) an arbitrary deadline and b) his own re-election timeline, and not "conditions on the ground." https://t.co/usEPiJbLKP

A man evaded security, cut through a fence, brought in his assault rifle, and shot up a garlic festival. But 45 will tell you that the “real criminals” are the children at our border. Make it make sense. #gilroyshooting https://t.co/qhBkvfW4gU

My favorite part about Scott Adams's baffling start-up is that it's based on a near-worthless cryptocurrency. Shortly before he launched it, all the characters in Dilbert started talking about how great cryptocurrencies are. What a coincidence! https://t.co/6OpGjnF9ij pic.twitter.com/tNyhrMpjGf

Dan Coats served ably & with deep integrity. Ratcliffe showed abject subservience to Trump in Mueller hearings. The women & men in the Intelligence Community deserve a leader like Coats who puts nation first; not a servile Trump loyalist like Ratcliffe. https://t.co/fbYgS3MoOM

Trump was not "down there" during 9/11 with first responders, and the only role he played was bragging on TV that he now had the biggest building in NY once the towers fell. Oh and lying about how American Muslims reacted to 9/11. https://t.co/5ZMyudJG4l
