What Made Boris Johnson Flip?
Boris Johnson (2016-02-07):
Leaving would cause at least some business uncertainity, while embroiling the Government for several years ina fiddly process of negotiating new arrangements, so diverting energy from the real problems of this country.
A question on which the geo-political and economic future of this country may have pivoted: what the hell happened with this guy in the two weeks between him writing this and coming out for Leave?

Conservative politicians have been running a Facebook goup in support of Boris Johnson where its members have 'joked' about shooting immigrants & bombing mosques – alongside vile racist langauge, no doubt inspired by the casual racism engaged in by Johnson hmself… #ToryRacism pic.twitter.com/CUXURmdZB0

5 Months Since Khashoggi Was Murdered
Today marks five months since Jamal #Khashoggi was brutally killed by Saudi Arabia’s regime, simply because he dared to express himself in the @washingtonpost.
His body is still missing.
Take some time to read and share his work: https://t.co/8bo0zuM5oh

How the USA Take Control of a Little Island
So we voted to ‘take back control’ we wanted more sovereignty but looks like USA aren’t going to allow that.
America would seek to take appropriate action should officials disapprove of any terms of a trade agreement that 🇬🇧 strikes with an economy like China. pic.twitter.com/DpT6wmJjnn— Jacq Dodman #FBPE #peoplesvote #revokeArticle50 (@jacqdodman) March 2, 2019

European Council President Donald Tusk: "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan on how to carry it safely." https://t.co/SYBgpXU8A7 pic.twitter.com/f10OYeRhAi

The art of finding a way to take offence and get on a high horse…
…called out by the John Bercow & Joanna Cherry. 👏

Jacob Rees-Mogg wrote this article below.
In it he says that Tusk “is saying that 17.4million people are stupid and got it wrong”
Rees-Mogg is deliberately misquoting. What a crook. https://t.co/5OAYb8Ra6F

Dear Brits, how come that this aristocratic looking Jacob Rees-Mogg guy of yours keeps lying through his teeth and can get away with it? Seemingly he needs to misquote Tusk in order to push his project which will make him even richer but most of you poorer.

He Likes Me, I like Him
Trump on Kim Jong Un during last night's Hannity interview: "He is very sharp," "a real leader," "He likes me, I like him. Some people say 'you should not like him.' I say, 'Why shouldn't I like him?' I like him. Get along great." pic.twitter.com/GghcRXi4jm

No Collusion Investigation
Mueller's report will almost certainly disappoint you, and it's not his fault. It's your fault for buying into Trump's false narrative that it is Mueller's' job to prove "collusion," a nearly impossible bar for any prosecutor to clear.

Trump Cares Less about Work Safety than Obama
Call me old-fashioned, but I always thought employers should be required to report on-the-job injuries and illnesses brought on by their jobs. How else can we hold them accountable?

In the Battle within the Elites the Emotions of the Commoners Are the Weapons
Actually, the Brexit is a battle about *which* elite takes (back) control over the British people.
Same story in the USA: Within the money elite, Trump was a kind of a joke. He now takes revenge.
The "idling" commoners are the weapons in these battles.https://t.co/eDhYFaHglZ

This is why Raab is a Brexiter: He needs to take back control from Europe completely in order to rule these British, the worst idlers in the world. Worse, these idlers really believe that "the people" will take back control.

Trump Lied about Kushner’s Security Clearance
January 31: "Trump said he played no role in directing White House officials to arrange for Kushner to receive a top-secret clearance.
Kushner’s application was rejected at least once after concerns were raised by the FBI & CIA about his foreign contacts" https://t.co/AURfUyNXI9

[…] The report of Trump’s order [to Kelly], which the Times said was documented at the time by Kelly in a memo, contradicts statements the president made to [The New York Times] last month in which he claimed he had no role in the reinstatement of his son-in-law’s security clearance. […]
