Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

It’s precisely because Brexiters howl about betraying fish and talk shit about sovereignty/immigration and our media amplifies their nonsense, that govt is trapped by fear, unable to freely negotiate in our best interests in case Farage/Daily Mail have a meltdown. Beyond time for the goddam truth.

The nasty little knot of far right ugliness that is Andrea Jenkyns (now Mayor of Lincolnshire) says it’s ‘no more soft touch Britain’. How lovely. Voters have basically handed her a loud dog whistle and told her to kick the people and policies they don’t like or understand. Failure is inevitable.

Vote Leave spent millions on Facebook targeting the old, young, animal lovers and others with adverts which were just lies. Most people now know Brexit was a disaster. Time for politicians to acknowledge it.

NEW: US cuts off intelligence to Ukraine. After halting military aid (including equipment already at the border), this move is just vindictive. Trump is effectively arming Russia. Without better intelligence to target missile launch sites, more Ukrainians will die. The US is in moral collapse.

What an astonishing own goal by Badenoch. Especially after her own shadow Defence Secretary has called the comments "deeply disrespectful". Even Farage had to condemn them. Turns out patriotism is more than wearing a union flag jacket. Clowns. ~AA

The UK and France were the main countries suggesting sending troops, so obviously he was referring to them. The main purpose of authoritarian lies/gaslighting is to see which grovellers remain loyal to the authoritarian despite the gaslighting. I see that Badenoch is in the ranks of the grovellers.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Russian TV: "Now we can strike Brussels, London and Paris. We don't have to worry about NATO's Article 5 and Americans stepping up to help." Article 5 is the bedrock of the NATO alliance, where an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It's only been triggered once, by USA, after 9/11.
