.Not a good day for democracy. Sad spectacle when we should have being a compassionate & reasoned debate. Paradoxically, actions of âŠ@RobinNewton4MLAâ©, in standing up to âŠ@paulgivanâ© may give us some hope for the future âŠ@markdevenportâ© https://t.co/TMrWlfQ2CM

DUP MPs spent today at Westminster arguing that Northern Ireland must not be treated differently to the rest of the UK.
Meanwhile, DUP MLAs were at Stormont demanding Northern Ireland be treated differently to the rest of the UK.

Interesting words from @RobinSwannUUP earlier: "Some may now ask is Stormont worth saving? " Struck also by this line from a loyalist I chatted with today: "We make terrible fools of ourselves." What happened up there today was pathetic. The question now – should it be saved? pic.twitter.com/uX4ea2dDlI

This will hurt America in the long run. Besides the horrible atrocities taking place in the region, this action will diminish confidence in our future partnerships. It will also cause shame and frustration for our troops who fought honorably and in good faith with the Kurds. https://t.co/qZsjnz1WJj

The seasons change quickly here in Northern Syria. Itâs now starting to get cold at night. Soon it will be very cold. Aid workers say 70,000 kids, at least, already displaced. Those parents must be thinking, 'this is the thanks the Kurdish people got for helping America.'
