EXC: Tory MPs terrified at the thought of losing their seats in a snap election flip out at Brandon Lewis and Gavin Barwell on WhatsApp.

Read the messages in full here >> buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
In leaked WhatsApps Tory MPs warn that talk of a June election is "very unsettling" and order Brandon Lewis to rule it out. Nicholas Soames: "Frankly it's amateur night what on earth are they playing at?" buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
Mark Francois then starts trolling Brandon Lewis when he fails to deny the Tories are considering a snap election. Michael Fabricant warns this could leak. (Narrator: It did leak.) buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
Jackie Doyle-Price (majority 345) tears Gavin Barwell a new one for "gleefully" tweeting out that poll showing the Tories in front. Message very much: we will lose our seats if you call an election you idiots. buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
Then into farce. Brandon Lewis tries to reassure MPs that there won't be an election. Except he rules out an election in 2018. It is 2019. buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…

1. Find a winning product.

This is the most important part of the whole ecommerce game in my opinion. If you can find a product that people want, you can profit.

(I have found success in selling stuff that might be difficult to find at a local convenience store or Walmart.)
2. Study success

Before you go any further, realize that all my success stems from @StartSellingSSS and @SCHM7DT.

These two dudes are the real deal.

I am forever grateful for their guidance.

I got a story to tell about these black nikes and they involve my dear friend @thecoachchris_

The internet is a powerful tool when used wisely.
About a year ago,

I had a pair of busted running shoes 😂😂😂

I’m gonna see if I can find the tweet that had em because woof those shoes were fucked up.

But I kept working out in em.

I was unemployed as most of you know so Buying new workout shoes wasn’t a priority.
Found it 😂😂😂



And I wasn’t doing it for charity, I just didn’t realize how much I needed new ones because there was so much other stuff going on.

THREAD (1) When the likes of Hannan feel the need to 'brush off' something so critical to the right-wing/neo-con #Brexit wet dream, we find digging a little deeper to be useful. After all, ground breaking 'shadow trade deals' with right-wing US think tanks is no small fish.
(2) In fact, given the growing negativity surrounding the #Brexit negotiations, compounded by the Govts' own damning economic analysis, one would have thought Hannan and Fox et al, would be shouting from the roof tops about their bespoke 'shadow US-UK trade deal.' Wouldn't you?
(3) The problem for our intrepid trade deal making duo, as almost always, is to be found in the detail; just what are, and who is, behind these neo-con US think tanks? Perhaps Daniel would enlighten us?

Mueller's probe is entering it's 'critical phase' according to the media.

They still haven't figured out what's going on.

Dan Coats, Mike Pompeo, Mike Rogers....these guys aren't being interviewed by Mueller in regards to nailing Trump.
Trump actually IS looking forward to being interviewed by Mueller.

What do you think Coats, Pompeo, Rogers &Trump told/will tell Mueller in these interviews?

When they became aware of the 'secret society' making it's moves to spy on/entrap Trump & his people.
It's all coming together. The plotters spent the time from the election to early Jan. setting up a plan to use Flynn's phone calls about Russian sanctions as a pretext to launch an investigation they could turn into an impeachment.
