Watergate occurred when I was a teenager. But I remember vividly that the mood at the time was different from now. As the investigation continued, it became clear that profound issues were at stake: the Constitution, our democracy, the presidency, the rule of law.

Someone should give @lewis_goodall a medal for this. The arrogance and contempt for any questions that Cummings radiates are genuinely horrifying. If this guy who supposedly understands real people carried on like this in any pub, he’d be leaving through the window. https://t.co/iOIvXc5uCN

Owen Paterson voted against the Withdrawal Agreement three times. So he doesn’t mean just get on with it, he means we must leave only on terms he finds acceptable. And if anyone else holds out – just as he does – for terms they find acceptable, that is delay. https://t.co/jJjh7CtnzD

There’s an enlightenment quality around the debate for a New Ireland & Independent Scotland, which is quite striking, set in comparison, to a British state, which seems antiquatedly knackered & worn-out.
Those renewed & energised visions appear brimming with futurist modernity.

Yeah, you probably don’t want to read this thread today…
When we watch TV, our TVs watch us back and track our habits. This practice has exploded recently since it hasn’t faced much public scrutiny. But in the last few days, not one but *three* papers have dropped that uncover the extent of tracking on TVs. Let me tell you about them.
