I don't believe Johnson's opponents have the numbers: DUP and ChangeUK won't vote for an election
The minister quoted doesn't understand Fixed-term Parliaments Act: losing Q's Speech vote doesn't mean an election
But absolutely right that Johnson would be almost as much a zombie PM as May is now

Preparations appear to be underway for a pro-#Assad offensive on #Idlib.

12hrs of on/off air & artillery strikes vs. southeastern & western #Idlib & northern #Hama - see marks on map (original by @ETANA_Syria + my additions).

+ multiple large pro-regime convoys moving north.
@ETANA_Syria #pt: If/when any major military campaign gets underway, expect the #Assad regime (+ #Russia & #Iran-backed militias) to focus on these 2 fronts:

1) West #Idlib (Jisr al-Shughour)
2) N. #Hama/#SE #Idlib (Latamineh, Khan Sheikhoun, Kafrazita)

-> a gradual push ‘inland’ & north.
@ETANA_Syria Very good by @theIRC’s @DMiliband:

- The West must “re-assert” itself & protect civilians in NW #Syria & as a backstop, safe-routes should be opened for civilians to flee into #Turkey.

- UNSC must demand full access to S #Syria; for aid, monitoring etc.

You can still find most of these #russian #bots yourself.
And they did retweet during the #UK general election for Labour leader #JeremyCorbyn
thetimes.co.uk/article/expose…
some clues are the date ranges provided and the account types
1st thing we do is check @jeremycorbyn's timeline. He only has 9k tweets so we should be able to get the tweet IDs for that date range(may-june 2017)

Tory housing minister Dominic Raab has claimed, not for the first time, that immigration pushes up house prices. Here's a thread on why that's not true

thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-h…
Raab claims that immigration has a demand-side effect on immigration, which is on the surface a common-sense view.

If there are more people, there'll be more competition for homes and prices will rise.
According to The Sunday Times, Raab was told by civil servants that data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that immigration pushed up house prices 20% b/w 1991 and 2016.
