Utterly bizarre reaction by David Davies to completely reasonable points made by @annaturley here
Lots of men telling me Anna Turley “screamed,” (she didn’t) “shouted,” (didn’t again) and was “unhinged” (she wasn’t) in this clip. Very telling reaction to a female politician refusing to be talked over.
The horror. Not only is she a woman with an opinion, but she also has a finger.

There's a conspiracy theory doing the rounds on here that this member of the public, who backed May's deal on Newsnight last night, was in fact paid by the BBC to play the part of a Brexit supporting reverend.
Someone tracked down a page showing she's done some extra work in the past, so therefore they all think she must be a paid crisis actor. Obviously.
They even tracked down her IMDB page showing she'd previously acted on BBC shows, which apparently was the clincher.

Forgive me if I don't take Boris Johnson's sudden conversion to feminism, on the pages of today's Telegraph, entirely seriously. Here's his long record of making sexist comments in both print and in person. uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
Here is Boris Johnson reporting on the "top totty" at Labour conference who "with the fickleness of their sex are following the polls." uk.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
Boris Johnson described women as "emotional" "blubbing blondes" who are often "collapsing with emotion" and mocked them by pinning a Pirelli calendar to his desk

Again.

Dear journalists - can you please drop the totally unhelpful and divisive reference to the 'War Cabinet' from your articles?

Thanks.

Why call it 'war cabinet' ?

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Are you a #Brexiter who voted in good faith for #Brexit, hoping for a better life for you and your family, and don't see why so many people now want a #PeoplesVote? Let's revisit the things #VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw and @LeaveEUOfficial told you back then. 1/n
Then: "There will be no downside to Brexit - only a considerable upside" (David Davis).

Now, The "benefits" of brexit may take "up to 50 years to appear" (Jacob Rees Mogg), or "never" (Nigel Farage).

Hate austerity? Brexit = constant austerity.

theguardian.com/politics/short…
Then: "Turkey is joining the EU" (Psst If you don't vote for Brexit, Turks, Syrians and Iraqis will overwhelm our country)"

Now: @michaelgove admits they lied to you about it, and "regrets" this. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
