In an attempt to explain how terrible the @BorisJohnson #BrexitDeal is – I've penned this article with expert legal input. Please tweet to your MP and make sure they hear your voice.https://t.co/kqpsUsyeyD

‘Brexit means Brexit’ but the main protagonists in the Brexit campaign can’t agree on what Brexit is, so how on earth can Brexiters claim they knew what they were voting for? https://t.co/z9kukMP91c

NEW: @FinancialTimes eve-of-vote analysis suggests Boris has a slender majority of 4 to pass his Brexit latest tomorrow.

Assuming all Tory Brexiters and independents back it, the PM has a shot at getting it through.

On Talkback earlier failing to contain my anger at where the DUP have landed us all after years of awful politics. Thankful Dublin & EU were there to negotiate in our interests & secure the baseline protections agreed this week but best deal, still just within reach, is Remain pic.twitter.com/2bcf8ehgVc

Your regular reminder that we are in this #Brexit mess thanks to a backroom pissing contest between Etonian rivals David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Neither of whom will suffer a moment over the outcome.

Unless you vote the Tories out next election.

The Johnson deal now being promoted on the basis that Northern Ireland will retain the very single market and customs union benefits that the rest of the UK are losing

A healthy media would be educating us about the Brexit deal: its details, its economic and social impacts, its problems, what it means for you, your family, your community, your country.

With honourable exceptions, it’s been reduced to a parliamentary drama. What a travesty.

Allegations of bed bugs at Trump Doral Resort go viral on Twitter, spur trending hashtag, after G-7 summit announcement https://t.co/Ei8w1A8GSd pic.twitter.com/PbsObAF6cn

I think the significance of the Doral announcement is it was a gut-check to GOP Senators:

“What if we flat-out commit to corruption that clearly has no connection to conservative ideas or priorities — will you do anything about it?”

Now they know the truth about themselves.

Doesn’t the “host” pay costs for the “guests”? Trump’s not “hosting.” He’s collecting. Better headline: “US To Pay Trump Resort Millions for G7 Event” https://t.co/otFtmFAUDk

JUST IN: The House is teeing up a vote on a resolution to condemn holding the G7 at Trump's Doral resort and "rejecting his practice of accepting foreign government Emoluments without obtaining Congress’ affirmative consent"

My latest for @thedailybeast.

Trump is weak, and the bad guys know it…Erdogan made Trump his bitch twice on one week.

The world is laughing at Donald Trump, and ready to exploit his weakness.

Lost in the shuffle of yesterday's avalanche of news was the President of the United States advocating for ethnic cleansing in Northern Syria. Not ignoring it, advocating for it and making a deal to ensure it. Don't know how GOP can live with this.
