A generation of elderly middle class Greens will watch on as everything they worked for is annihilated. And they will have no one to blame but themselves.

Have people forgotten just how vicious the Brexit debate was *with* a referendum? Being taken back in without one will be catastrophic. “Get over it” is perhaps the most childish response imaginable to what is a *very* dangerous idea.

'Get over it': Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry's message on concerns about reopening 'divisive' Brexit debates. Thornberry tells @CathyNewman that the UK could re-join the EU without a second referendum if it was included as a manifesto commitment at a general election.

You’re being lied to about Brexit … the people voted for it. Don’t let an unelected PM make up unsubstantiated stories & dismantle democracy because it suits a socialist agenda to pass responsibility to Brussels & the WEF away from Westminster

@Bishop_BeesleyOct 11
Dear Andy Burnham, the Oxford Internet Institute examined social media after the Brexit vote. Their conclusion was that Russian traffic made up around a one thousandth of just one percent of Brexit traffic. Thus, I suspect you're lying; so put up your evidence or shut up.

Carel Fabritius, The Goldfinch, 1654 (Mauritshuis, The Hague) Goldfinches were popular pets, as they could be taught tricks like drawing water from a bowl with a miniature bucket. The artist was killed, aged 32 in an explosion in Delft #otd 12 Oct 1654.

The Prime Minister is promoting debunked conspiracy theories for Alastair Campbell's enjoyment, and his junior ministers are trying to pick up the pieces on the broadcast round. It is quite sordid but it's a sign of where and how Labour will play politics from now on. – at London, England

Very important point by @Nigel_Farage. Shutting down the asylum system for 5 years is necessary because we just want normality again. The UK used to deport 40-50K people per year between 1997-2010. Now we're being told 20k people in 9 months being processed at Dover is "normal"

This will be a fiscal disaster if not stopped. The country can't afford to take in people who will be lifetime burdens. Their low wages mean they'll never contribute as much in taxes as they need in services and welfare. And millions are in line to qualify if Labour don't act

The fact that we have mosques endorsing election candidates is a sign that something has gone very badly wrong in our country. Not only is this *illegal* under charities law, it's also completely poisonous for our democracy. We have to stamp out this dangerous nonsense.
