This concludes: “All #caudillos are detestable, but they are detestable in different ways". Thanks #FinancialTimes on.ft.com/3D6b1wu

Here's what happened inside the White House after the Oval Office shouting match: Trump huddled with his key advisers immediately afterward inside the Oval. According to a White House official, Trump consulted Vance, Rubio, Bessent, etc. That was when Trump decided that Zelensky was "not in a place to negotiate." He directed Secretary Rubio and his national security adviser Mike Waltz to deliver the message: it was time for Zelensky to leave. The Ukrainians were holding nearby in a separate room. (That's standard for foreign leader visits.) Typically they reconvene for lunch. But the Ukrainians would not be dining at the White House. As the prepared food sat nearby on carts in a hallway, the Ukrainians were instructed to leave. The White House official said the Ukrainians wanted to continue the talks. But they were told no. Zelensky left shortly thereafter.

Often when people think they forgive, what we are really doing is only digesting. In other words, we will swallow with disgust what’s in our mouth now. But we will never eat that ‘food’ again.

These ads were placed by the Kremlin-funded Internet Research Agency targeting British people 9 days before EU referendum. I don't understand why @facebook handed these over to congress but not parliament? x.com/brexit_sham/status/994…

We've barely scraped the surface but in the run up to the #EURef there are a number of Russian #Facebook anti-immigration ads targeted directly at UK FB users, costing thousands of Rubles. This is not what FB told MPs @CommonsCMS. @ChrisM4Chester @IanCLucas @JoStevensLabour

Some drivers do mean cyclists harm. Some have been happy to tell me so (when I caught them at the lights, you know). x.com/jonusher/status/995001…

Worrying, but completely corroborated by @sustrans #BikeLife2017 which found that people on bikes feel less safe than any other form of transport theguardian.com/environment/…

Wow. Bravo to @CommonsCMS who have issued 4th summons to Zuck saying Facebook CTO failed to answer 40 separate qs today. Why was he even there? MPs were asking about integrity of our democracy. Facebook's CTO talked about "product". Something profoundly wrong here

The father has been exploited by religious fundamentalists who have lied about the law and grossly and wilfully misadvised a man at the most tragic and difficult time in his life. They are despicable and should be utterly ashamed.
