Hey British gov sites. Glad you came to terms with the Russian influence in the Brexit vote. Now get the hell off X, which is equally designed to destabilize & groom viewers to act against their own interests. 🇬🇧 Gov sites (that includes the BBC,) should NOT BE ON X. @ukparliament.parliament.uk

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

Society often dismisses kindness to all animals as a radical stance. But is it more radical to live with empathy, or to completely disregard the lives of others? Caring for every animal on this planet shouldn't be considered a radical idea. If you agree, give us a follow!

Both Melanja Knavs and Elon Musk should be investigated for immigration fraud. Her Einstein visa was a patent fraud, as was Musk’s obtaining a student visa. He dropped out to work full time. Both citizenships can and should be rescinded. They violated US immigration law.

"Boris asked was there seen to be Russian interference in the Brexit referendum campaign, and the answer was no" aside from the obvious Mandy Rice-Davies "Well he would, wouldn't he?" response, note that Nigel Farage says "Was there *seen* to be any Russian interference" not "was there *any*"

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this: “In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”

bbc.co.uk

Rejecting closer EU ties would be dereliction of duty, PM to say

Addressing the Commons, Burnham is expected to say that a new deal with the EU could help tackle illegal immigration and boost economic growth.
