OK, everyone. I think it’s time I told my Boris Johnson story. It’s a story about the time as foreign secretary where Johnson committed a straightforward resigning offence, got caught out, then got away with it. Thread.

I try to rise above the noise all the time, but this individual has no human decency. This goes beyond. It’s absolutely disgusting. We should all be horrified and disgusted by this inhumane behavior, because that’s what it is. Rob and Michele Reiner were good, kind, loving
Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were murdered by their son, Nick And somehow, pedophile Trump is making it all about himself AGAIN and insinuating that this was a well-deserved end for Rob and his wife ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC & DISGUSTING

Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.

Amazing, the @DailyMail manages to publish an entire feature bewailing (!!!!) the exodus of Poles from Britain without once mentioning Brexit. Apparently this outcome (which is what it campaigned for in 2016) is all the fault of Keir Starmer.
dailymail.co.uk
New statistics reveal that while 7,000 Poles arrived in the year ending last June, 25,000 returned home: a net outflow of 18,000. The UK's total Polish population has shrunk to 750,000.

The European mind cannot comprehend this level of free speech. I'm so pleased that the national security strategy seeks to bring this level of press freedom to our benighted continent.
Reporter: What changes do you want to see at CNN? Trump: I am not involved in that, I will be probably involved maybe in the decision... I think CNN should be sold because the people that are running CNN right now are either corrupt or incompetent. Reporter: Will that be a

You can’t have compliance without privacy. @IOHK_Charles discusses the need for rational privacy using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). It allows you to prove you belong without revealing who you are.

This is an admission by Trump that his pardons are quid-pro-quos. We all assumed this to be the case, but stunning for him to just say it. Insane levels of corruption.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

I’ve held back from commenting on the revelations about Nigel Farage’s past racism. Not because the story shocked me. For many in this country, it merely confirms what we’ve suspected for years. But some will be hearing these allegations for the first time, and it’s to you that I

Farage is direly mishandling the school racism story. How likely that 20 near-strangers have coordinated a vast smear with different papers? He could have admitted it, apologised and moved on. Instead his accusers will double down, story drags on and he looks utterly dishonest.

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

People aren't focused enough on the word "denaturalize" here The President says that he will revoke the *citizenship* of Americans who weren't born here if he and @StephenM determine decide they need to go. Denaturalization is a rare and legally difficult process that Miller

An extraordinary turn of events. The chill wind of Trump litigation against media organisations working exactly as it is intended. And another example of the internal neurosis over a largely irrelevant Panorama edit resulting in *more* partial coverage of Trump, not less.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants

A former U.K. Prime Minister urging a US President to bankrupt a British institution. Whatever you think of the BBC, Liz Truss is not a patriot.
Liz Truss on Fox News supporting Trump suing the BBC "There are lots of people in Britain who are cheering President Trump on and want him to sue the BBC" "Because they're a huge problem: they've lied, they've cheated, they've fiddled with footage" "Both in the case of
