Rees-Mogg isn’t a “student of history”, just a lazy myth-recycler. Royal Family spent WWII mostly in Windsor or further from London, and Gov had plan to evacuate them into hiding.
And don’t @ me assuming I’m criticising that strategy, or praising the similar one for Brexit. I’m just reminding that JRM doesn’t care about truth, just appearance.
Even the Daily Express knows JRM is wrong.

Brexit will create four classes of N Irelander:
- Dual Brit/IRL
- Brit-only
- IRL-only
- & other

All with different rights.

Good piece by @L4ingstone - but missing crucial info. Thread 1/
Right now EU law means there’s few rights distinctions between EU cits in NI.

Brexit is set to change that.

Of course, non-EU cits have a whole lot less rights rn. Unless they are family members of Irish cits, or dual UK/IE cits. Even then its complex. 2/
So let’s just talk about people born in NI, to parents settled there.

How does Brexit affect their rights? 3/

Very big news for EU refugee policy. #Italy hardliner #Salvini backs relocation - breaking from Orbán’s #Hungary push-back policy. But what does it mean? #SeaWatch3 Thread 1/18
Salvini - Dep PM & Interior Min - claimed in Jun ‘18 that Italy’s ports are “closed” to rescued people. He even turned away Italian coastguard boat “Diciotti”. 2/
And last week Salvini blocked #SeaWatch3 from embarking the people rescued from shipwreck. They applied straight to the European Court of Human Rights and... Salvini & EU states found a solution. 3/

1. Q drop qmap.pub/read/52

"Where did John M obtain his surgery?
Why is that relevant?
What surgery did he supposedly have?
How many days until he was back in Congress and sitting on the OS comm?"

No Name (NN) said he had an eyebrow craniotomy (EC)

You sure about that?
2. I have history with this subject. My father died of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) many years ago. We were informed of every available surgery, none of which included an EC. He had to have a full craniotomy because the cancer grows in the middle of the brain.
3. Don't take my word about this. Here's one of the leading neurosurgery groups in the world, via the National Library of Medicine and the brain sciences division of MDPI, discussing possible types of surgery for GBM. You will not see EC in there.

1) who are the stupid #Brexit people John?
A regular device from brexiters is to say that #PeoplesVote supporters think Leave voters were stupid

It's true that there were very many incredibly, boneshakingly dense Brexiters, but they were leading, not following

Some examples
2) Melanie Philips is a regular pro #Brexit columnist, arguing for a tough line on the EU.

This is her finding out *only last night* that we represent 10% of the EUs total exports compared to 45% of ours going to the EU

Her confused look is remarkable

3) David Davis, Brexit secretary and former EU minister, believed *even after the referendum* that we could strike illegal individual deals with Germany, France etc, something utterly forbidden under EU law

This was the basis of his Leave position

The arrest of sheikh Saleh al Taleb by Prince Muhammad bin Salman is huge. It is a sign of growing tensions within the alliance at the heart of Saudi Arabia. Let’s take a quick look at the history of Wahhabism/Salafism and the royal family.
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab was born in 1703 in 'Uyayna. Born in the context of waning Ottoman power, he believed Islamic societies had become too permissible and therefore weak. A student of ibn Taymiyyah, he preached a puritan Islam that interpreted the religion in novel ways.
For example, he broke with the tradition of following a madhhab (though he himself was Hanbali) and instead promoted emulation of the first and second-generation Muslims as “salaf” or ancestors. Hence Salafism (Wahhabism is derogatory).
