Thread on #GE2019. Labour polling likely to increase from low/mid 20’s. Current polls driven off those give a voting intention. These DK voters disproportionately include women, 2017 Lab voters + younger voters. When they break it will be to the advantage of Labour (1/10)

Hot take: there is fuck all chance that a government that has just given the go ahead for an actual coal mine in Cumbria is banning fracking, but it's probably an issue that has showed up in some internal general election pollinghttps://t.co/sNYUYjLQfW

My comment on the new materials from the #Mueller Report: Atrociously un-patriotic behavior from a future national security adviser, a future president, and a group of flunkies who should have called the FBI rather than try to conspire with Russia.https://t.co/lIvn5v7FO1

It's not a bombshell, it's a reminder that William Barr carefully cherry-picked the Mueller report to create a summary that was narrowly true by Barr's own carefully chosen terms, but a complete lie in describing the actual contents of what was in the Mueller report. https://t.co/gcGra0grN6

I don't know what happened to short circuit the Mueller investigation, but something happened and we need to know what it was. https://t.co/uj0vuZ5hGf

What a joke. You are the most dishonest people. The audience was chanting “Donald Trump, Donald Trump” followed by “USA USA.” Dana White said it was the greatest entrance he has seen into a UFC.

Trump is selling nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, while quietly dismantling the arms control treaties negotiated by Presidents Reagan, George HW Bush & Obama.
Decades of bipartisan arms control work is being destroyed.
