This is the most neutral summary I’ve seen of the Minnesota murder by ICE. It has ALL angles, it syncs them together, and shows the lead up and aftermath… if you watch this all and still think those shots were justified - you just might be a psychopath.

@AndrewJQuinn97 @TimGatt This is the first time the words "coup", "Rob out" and @LobbyXI have been uttered in public in the same sentence...although I've always had my suspicions

@TimGatt Does he think the @LobbyXI job is up for grabs - and that’s where recruiters will look?

This stuff is simply beyond parody 😆 Shall we crowdfund for these poor afflicted folk - a sponsored run?

A word on @AllisonPearson free speech row and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. Today on @TheNewsAgents, we asked her to appear. She said ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ You gotta love a free speech warrior

"There is no protection to anyone" @UNWateridge describes the harrowing reality for families seeking refuge at this @UNRWA school - children with amputations, burns & permanent scarring. The school has been struck by Israeli airstrikes twice & endured countless shelling. The situation is unimaginable.

@wallaceme I believe I showed convincingly that the public was not told that. Of course you (and many others) hoped and expected you were voting for that….but it wasn’t on the ballot paper

@Rob_Merrick Going back to the original tweet. Nobody voted for it? (I did - and the entire population was told by all sides this is what it meant, then 17.4m of them voted for it). The question wasn’t asked? (it was, loads, and answered on both sides…)

Reminder: NOBODY voted to leave the EU single market or customs union The question was not asked - and the leading Brexit campaigners suggested the UK would remain in the single market

@wallaceme I’m a bit busy to dig out the clips of Johnson and Farage etc talking of staying in the SM/Norway deal….the point I was making Voters were given different versions of what leaving the EU meant - I think that’s beyond dispute

@Rob_Merrick Ok - but if Remain said leaving meant leaving the SM; and Leave said it too; and the government wrote to every household saying so as well… then is the original claim in this thread really correct?

@wallaceme I think a lot of different things were said - few of them honest !

Not as a I recall. They said it was untrue for the govt + Remain to say outside the EU the UK would lose “access to the Single Market” (it was indeed untrue to say this) - and they explicitly said they wanted U.K. domestic regulation to diverge from that required when exporting to the SM. (Ref: Vote Leave Briefing - “Leave Looks Like…”)

@Rob_Merrick As I recall, the Remain campaign spent a lot of time and money telling people this was what voting Leave would mean.
