And all of it – every lie, every distraction, every time they turn away from reality – is just to pander to this fuckin’ guy…
Trump: So shower heads, you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You wanna wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out… Dishwashers you didn’t have any water… In most places of the country, water is not a problem. They don’t know what do with it. It’s called rain pic.twitter.com/rx96mCFsae

His campaign press secretary literally just said the "Donald Trump's mentality" is he doesn't see why Americans should care about being able to travel to other countries, because the US is so awesome. Sounds like the mentality of the freaking Warsaw Pact.

This is — in pretty much identical language — one of the key ways that racist politicians, aided by venal real estate people, created housing segregation in the first place.
He is an overt racist, and it's long overdue for journalism organizations to say so. https://t.co/2K8DHkcRhV

The government were advised to initiate lockdown a week earlier than it chose to when cases were doubling every three days. The issue of care homes was also flagged up from the beginning, yet nothing was done.

Another lie: that @MattHancock & @BorisJohnson “followed the science”. Today @uksciencechief revealed that SAGE explicitly advised lockdown on 16th or 18th March. Johnson chose to vacillate until 23th. The cost – in human lives – of this vacillation is horrendous. pic.twitter.com/GdIgCnJik1

Any Tories currently spinning the Kremlin talking points about Russian election interference must be regarded as traitors until proved otherwise. There is significant prima facie evidence that Cummings & Johnson have been compromised. 😠✊🌹🇪🇺 #ToriesOut https://t.co/jyz9n9j8Wb

What a strange day. Boris Johnson realises the game is up because the surpressed Russia report is going public, then suddenly the government spend the entire day claiming Russia are cyber-attacking us, and inevitably, we end up on the doorstep of Jeremy Corbyn.
