For anyone tempted to defend alleged unifier Rory Stewart, here’s an account of one of his disastrous Newsnight appearances in which he exchanged his integrity for May’s catastrophic deal. The fact he is Abraham Lincoln next to his opponents doesn’t erase his personal dishonesty.
Oh, and look, here’s Stewart in January offering up Irish peace to promote his ministerial career
All of the candidates - all - are stained with the economic toxicity of May’s deal or the murderous insanity of no-deal or both. For all our faults and mistakes, we deserve better. Today we stand on the cusp of our country’s disintegration.

Couldn’t be prouder that in my borough, Camden, Tories came 6th. SIXTH. Also in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Oxford, Lambeth, Southwark & ultra-Tory City of London. In Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea - I repeat, *Kensington & Chelsea* - they came a much more respectable fourth.
They also came 6th in Haringey and Lewisham. But, drum roll everyone, because I think this might just be icing on the cake: in the great city of Liverpool, UK’s 5th largest, Tories won 2% of vote and came ... 7th. SEVENTH. Simply no words for this level of electoral devastation.
So that’s fifth across the UK, sixth in Oxford and eight London boroughs (including Tory heartland of City of London), and seventh in a large English city which regularly returned Tory MPs until the early 90s.

A legacy of which the outgoing prime minister can feel truly proud.

Here we, here we, here we fucking go #EuropeanElectionResults
Whatever happens in next few hours, remember most important thing: these elections were never meant to happen. Like extension, PM swore they would not. But they have. We’ve participated in the democratic operation of EU and normalised idea of remaining. Nothing will change that.
Just think: when was the last time anyone in Britain really cared about European elections? Tonight there’ll likely be big turnout & we’ll be watching whole EU. For perhaps the first time in decades, we are genuinely engaged in the life of our continent. And that’s brilliant.

May’s on stage. Here we go. Starts as she means to go on, telling us that she was aiming to build a better future. (By, er, destroying our children’s.)
May graciously admits that the Brexit process has been more complex than she anticipated. Nice try. Literally anyone who understood Brexit tried to tell her this for months and years, and she neither listened nor cared.
Oh god. ‘A new Brexit deal.’ ‘Nothing has changed’ would at least have been accurate.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I understand and appreciate why some people on the left don’t want to go on today’s march. As someone who thinks Blair should be in The Hague, and who is revolted by David Miliband’s role in Extraordinary Renditions, I really understand the opposition (short thread)
I don’t like sharing an event with people comfortable with - or even actively supporting - austerity. I don’t trust the Lib Dems an inch, and I’m still angry with their failure to acknowledge their awful role in coalition, and how it normalised both austerity and xenophobia.
I don’t like the bad faith actors whose primary motivation seems to be to attack Corbyn - and I know there are some for whom this is a key. And yet I’m still going on the march. I’ve still signed the petition. I’m still working the best I can to oppose Brexit.

According to the @MNPSDirector, the recent Metro audit of @MetroSchools is complete vindication. What follows is my analysis. 1/
tennessean.com/story/news/edu…
The Tennessean's lede: "A Metro Audit inquiry into Nashville schools purchasing practices found all but two of 15 allegations against the district were unsubstantiated." 2/
The audit is written in an interesting way. My best analogy would be a report saying: "The allegation that he was hit with a sledge hammer was unsubstantiated." Then, as you read down, you learn that it was really a claw hammer. 3/

1) hard deal #brexit supporters, they're lying to you, again

There's still a hard core of no deal Brexit supporters on Twitter who repeat "leave means leave", "WTO rules" and, most importantly, "just walk away"

The problem is, Mogg and Co aren't offering that
2) yes, of course it *sounds* like they're offering no deal and yes, Mogg will say with confidence "you have to be prepared to walk away to get a good deal"
But he's not, none of them are, they all still want a deal

They're lying to you again, and here's why
3) yesterday morning a brexiter said "well obviously you have to pay to prepare for no deal to show you are serious, and if we then get a deal we won't have to pay for the preparations"

Yes, she said that.

#StateCaptureInquiry Remember when @TreasuryRSA Minister of Treasury Nhlanhla Nene answered eNCA’s @samkelemaseko asking if he would testify? Nene said, “Watch this space.” And later, after some pressing from Maseko, “Watch the space, meaning a lot of us might be appearing soon.”
#StateCaptureInquiry Nene will be the first sitting minister to testify at the inquiry. Previously Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan attended hearings, when his former right hand man Mcebisi Jonas testified, saying a Gupta brother offered him the Finance Minister job.
#StateCaptureInquiry Nene will testify on events around then President Jacob Zuma firing him at night on 9 December 2015. Zuma said at the time, “I wish Mr Van Rooyen all the best in this new appointment. The new deployment of Mr Nene will be announced in due course.”

Everybody should write to the @BBCNews about this.

Steve Baker apologised for repeating Rees-Mogg’s civil service smears when they were proven false. BBC gladly repeats the smears as if true - with zip evidence. Where’s their sense of responsibility? Look at those titles. 👇🏻
Think of those hard-working public servants in the guts of our national machine... effortlessly slandered by the wave of a toff’s hand who doesn’t like the results.

And the @BBC duly nod & echo the aforementioned toff. Because he is important 🧐 and our public servants are not.
Here is an account of one such person, toiling in the machinery of our country’s economic future:
