There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Congratulations President-elect Dan, and thank you Romania 🇷🇴 🇪🇺

Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."

🚨🧵 We need to talk about child hunger in the UK. Families are struggling to put food on the table and pay the bills. Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat. We’ve even heard from families who have as little as £1.20 to last them a whole week.

Labour likely to take a total drubbing in today’s election & it’s fully deserved. The lesson I fear they’ll fail to learn is: You cannot win on anti-migrant hatred. The right wing press will never tell their voters you have done enough. And meanwhile, of course, you lose all the rest of us #r4today
