Imagine if the Executive parties treated the Lough Neagh scandal with even half the effort which they expended on Drumcree: Crisis meetings, emergency court cases, constant pressure - even breaking the law to achieve a goal. Instead, there's simply no urgency as the lough dies.

Putin texted this exact statement to Trump, word for word, and told Trump to say it out loud in front of the cameras. And of course Trump did, because Trump works for Putin.👇

Great thread, Carole. "Yesterday, Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn Williams revealed that even though she sat in silence on stage at the Hay Festival with me & Tim Wu, Facebook sued her anyway. EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD!!" Utterly ridiculous. Spluttering incomprehension. Again.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

The tortoise, which lives in the grounds of Plantation House, the official residence of the governor of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, is believed to be 194 years old, making him a contemporary of Queen Victoria and Charles Darwin.
