BREXITSHAMBLES BRITAIN
Dominic Raab: Making the UK follow EU rules after trade deal โjust ainโt happeningโ
That means a brutally hard Brexit – the UK turned into a gateway to nowhere that has to slash taxes and regulations to attract businesses & investment. A Brexit tax haven. https://t.co/EhFQf2OH4T

The rule for #Brexit talks from now on: itโs *always* easier for ๐ฌ๐ง to just blame ๐ช๐บ for anything and everything, whether justified or not, than it is to face up to the costs and trade offs inherent in Brexit.
This will determine everything ๐ฌ๐ง says and does.

As ever, the inimitably brilliant @fotoole identifies Brexit as a kind of kinky sexual deviance. Very hard to argue with that.
And now of course all we are left with is an unsightly, deflating, shrivelled detumescence.https://t.co/AssiCDIOg8

It's always about the war isn't it?

Trump voters in 2016 said they wanted *respect*. For three years they celebrated a moral trash fire of a human being – and cannot understand why they are still not respected. If Trump wins in 2020, they'll be even more furious… because they know that respect is never coming. /1

Warren is polling <15% in 538โs Iowa aggregate. Bernie & Biden are in a statistical tie.
The entire progressive movement is relying on Warren supporters in Iowa to caucus for Bernie, and beat Biden.
This is bigger than Bernie & Warren. Itโs time to unify. Together, we will win. https://t.co/sHdVkyCKFr
