    In today's news.


    It's become a left wing echo chamber policed by zealots and propagandists. It will decline for sure, many conservatives are coalescing around their own new platforms just as we kept warning would happen unless the speech and thought police backed-off.


    Loving how 'liberals' are todays Victorian fumers, looking to ban and censor, counter productive as hell as Stephen Fry has been at pains to point out, but the authoritarian left never learn.

    The Tories are fighting like stray cats in a bag. They aren't fit to lead. They must be ousted!


    5 Labour front benchers recently resigned, others were sacked. Your motivated reasoning is built on filtered-facts and omissions. Why do you allow your subconscious to take such short-cuts? What's in it for you?

    Jeremy Hunt has taken over as foreign secretary.

    Lorna; brexit is playing out exactly as predicted by project fear.
    May's plan is a tiny step in the right direction but an unworkable middle ground that doesn't solve anything newi

    At leat Brexiters are getting an extra dose of the pound finding its correct level. Its down again today.
    Brexiters will rejoice at these small victories just as they did when the pound reacted to the referendum result and we were told by Brexiters that it was overvalued before the vote.
    A fine Brexit dividend.
    Do you Brexiters actually believe that tosh two years on?
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Brilliant. A chance for him to **** the rest of the world, just like he’s done with the NHS...

    Wonder how Pob feels this evening?

    Davis and Johnson should have been sacked for incompetence and making Britain a laughing stock.
    May should have acted before they could resign.

    Let us not forget the Brexit dividends already in the Bank.

    1) Medicines Agency banked by the EU
    2) Banking Agency banked by the EU
    3) Loads of money banked by currency traders
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Sad but accurate indictment of the current situation:

    The former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt tweeted on Monday that Britain "used to be a nation providing leadership to the world - now, it can't even provide leadership to itself".

    Sad indictment of what people consider newsworthy.

    Dig deep enough there'll always be someone with an alternative view. Another Twitter user that is followed by whom?
