House impeachment managers must ask Trump's attorneys straight-up: "Was the 2020 election stolen from Donald Trump?"

If no: good, we can put that lie to rest.

If yes: makes it even more imperative for Senate to convict and DQ. https://t.co/L5RjkUv9x6

"The 1st Amendment is designed to protect individual speech from government intervention, not to protect government speech, or speech that leads to action. There are many examples—hate speech—where speech is actually criminalized. So that's not a defense."https://t.co/R4wRvNyXpj

Trump's allies fear the impeachment trial could be a PR nightmare: His boosters fear major reputational damage if the hearings focus on the Capitol violence and not questions about the Constitution.

Having published, for years, pieces claiming any claim that Brexit may cause the return of an Irish border was nonsense, Telegraph now seamlessly pivots to publishing "let's put a hard border back – it's the only solution to this mess WE DEFINITELY DIDN'T CAUSE".
