Intelligence on the Russian bounty plot was included in the President’s Daily Brief earlier this year, a source says.

The Russia Bounty story is just another made up by Fake News tale that is told only to damage me and the Republican Party. The secret source probably does not even exist, just like the story itself. If the discredited @nytimes has a source, reveal it. Just another HOAX!

“We’re the builders”

The only thing you have built, @BorisJohnson, is a handful of misleading three word slogans.

You couldn’t even build a bridge with some plants on it… or a simple app.

You just pretend everyone else is to blame for your own inept dithering. https://t.co/iEJmkXn3CG

The problem with “Whack-a-Mole” to Covid is that, if Boris Johnson understood the game, the mole pops up somewhere else!
