This is pathetic. NB @BorisJohnson promised #Scottish court he would comply with #BennAct & not seek to frustrate it. Looks like he’s breaking both promises. Fortunately no need to raise new proceedings our existing case is back in court on Monday #Brexit

The continuing absence of the question ‘Why is Brexit a good idea?’ from pretty much all Brexit coverage seems significant to say the least.

British lawmakers have become so distrustful of their famously brazen prime minister — and of one another — that they voted on Saturday not to vote at all on Boris Johnson’s much-heralded Brexit plan. https://t.co/GPgO0cglXZ

Sen. Ken Cramer (R-ND) on Trump’s decision to award G7 summit to his own Miami property: “It may seem careless politically, but on the other hand there's tremendous integrity in his boldness and his transparency”https://t.co/50KObtK7q9
