Crispin Blunt now saying unchallenged on the Today programme that the referendum result can only be honoured with no deal. At no point during the referendum campaign was the public told that no deal would follow.
The least discussed failure of the Cameron government was to issue a programme stating what precisely voters would be voting for if they voted leave - a failure Vote Leave ruthlessly exploited
The least discussed failure of journalism has been the failure to hold politicians to account for what they promised. @ByDonkeys is doing a better job than the BBC

God alone knows how many tens of thousands of good people at #PeoplesVoteMarch. They will be able to say that they stood up against the lies and the enormous cowardice of Tory and Labour leaders, and did what they could for their country 1/2
Anything more? I just don't know. Spoke to Labour people who described leaderless Labour MPs "hiding under their duvets". My @ObserverUK colleagues have spoken to Tories who know that, if they defend the national interest, their careers will be over.
British politics is being hit from all directions. A fanatical Right that would rather burn the country down than admit it's in the wrong. A hopelessly ill-equipped prime minister. A crackpot leader of the opposition and a failed media.

Devastating piece on Brexit as show business by @brooks_bonny arcdigital.media/politics-by-tw…
Made all the better because it quotes me - and not as a criticism either
Which makes a nice change

Brexiters: "Take back control"
Parliament: "No, we're too frightened"
Am writing a piece for Washington Post on how Brexit Britain is in a worse state than Trump's America. I defy anyone to contradict me.
What a bloody country

Republicans demand a do-over after @HouseDemocrats sneakily pass bill ending the shutdown without a recorded vote washex.am/2FGXKKI
House Republicans were caught off guard Thursday when House Democrats passed a short-term funding bill for the federal government without any wall funding, and without any recorded vote.
As soon as it was passed, Republicans complained that they were not given a chance to request a roll call vote from Democrats, who run the floor.

“I was awaiting a request for a recorded vote and did not have one,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., the presiding officer.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

Two people in an adulterous affair commit a sin but not a crime under U.S. law.
Perhaps half of our presidents have done that.
But Clinton lied about it so he was impeached.
Now people lie when saying “I did not collaborate with those Russians.”
Impeach.

dailyherald.com/discuss/201811…
And Clinton did not pay hush money during a political campaign without reporting it to the FEC, a campaign finance violation.
One of those two people wants to go on TV and talk about it, further humiliating the spouse of the other — after she suffered the indignity of Putin unlawfully interfering with her election and the FBI doing nothing about it. Whatever ...

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

(THREAD) BREAKING: In an extraordinary move, Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) has *unilaterally* released the transcript of Fusion GPS's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

What follows is a live-read of the transcript by a former criminal defense attorney. Hope you'll share.
1/ First, here's a link to the transcript, which is on Senator Feinstein's government website:
2/ This testimony is from August 22, 2017.

It's not the only testimony Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) has given before Congress. The Republicans did not want Americans to see this testimony; after publicly saying he'd vote to release it, Sen. Grassley (R-IA) reneged on his promise.

1) A MONUMENTAL DAY: The #KDP has FULLY WITHDRAWN from #Sinjar. I'm completely SPEECHLESS—(well, not completely): Bye-bye KDP!
#Yazidi #Iraq
2) After over 3 years of fighting for this outcome, the #Yazidi community has finally scored a major victory in reclaiming their homeland.
3) After #Peshmerga withdrew from Kirkuk yesterday (for which the PUK was hit w/ blame), the effect continues in KDP-controlled areas today.
