¡Enhorabuena @salvadorilla, un gran día para catalunya!
Replying to @sanchezcastejon
Hemos trabajado juntos en las circunstancias más adversas. Sé de tu amor por Catalunya. Conozco tu templanza, sentido común y capacidad de trabajo. Justo lo que necesita Catalunya. Serás un gran President. Catalunya gana, España avanza. ¡Enhorabuena, @salvadorilla!

He was desperate to be on a leaders special of @bbcquestiontime, and as always he is now throwing his toys out the pram. Farage is like a petulant brat, throws a tantrum every time he doesn’t get it his own way.
I have just been invited to appear on Laura Kuenssberg. I’m refusing until the BBC apologises for their dishonest QT audience. Our state broadcaster has behaved like a political actor throughout this election. Reform will be campaigning vigorously to abolish the license fee.

How is Sterling doing against the Euro at the minute Julia? I check it at least once a day and I know which is performing better. And yes, the Euro is doing badly against the Dollar, but is Sterling performing any better against the Dollar? I think not.

Now talk me through the falling value of the euro...
Well done @AldiUK. Puede hacer el mismo @Aldi_es? Es tan importante y puede salvar muchos vidas.
Welcome Aldi! The latest supermarket to #GetOnARoll 🧻 We’re ‘flushed’ with excitement @AldiUK is adding the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer to their own brand toilet rolls (that’s over 70 million packs of toilet rolls every year!) More: bowelcanceruk.org.uk/news-an…

Soon, the only Brexit question left will be about whether the people who sold it were lying about everything or simply didn’t understand anything.

Here he is. Re-elected. Again. The idea that the Brexit Party is a ‘new’ party is a total fiction. It’s just the latest host body for Farage - the tapeworm of British politics.

Sitting watching the #EUelections2019 here in Barcelona, you really appreciate how much better things are politically here in Spain than in the UK.
Happy Birthday @jeremycorbyn. I hope someone bought you a coffee, because we all know what you need to wake up and smell. #EUEelections2019

Salford is where I was born. ‘Tommy Robinson’ has turned up spouting his hatred and poison. The people of Salford have more class and intelligence than to be taken in. Maybe he should follow his own advice and ideology and fuck off back to where he came from.

He’s not backing Britain; he’s breaking Britain. • promises the undeliverable • stokes fear, hate and division • leaves others to do the work • cries betrayal when Brexit fails Brexit is a fraud. The Brexit Party is a fraud. Don’t fall for it!

Dear @EmmanuelMacron and Angela Merkel, opportunists from the hard right want Britain to crash out of Europe, even though a majority now wants to stay. We think the people should decide what happens next. But please give us more time. (Projection on White Cliffs of Dover)

Appeal to EP: You should be open to a long extension, if the UK wishes to rethink its strategy. 6 million people signed the petition, 1 million marched. They may not feel sufficiently represented by UK Parliament but they must feel represented by you. Because they are Europeans.

Farage, Boris, Rees-Mogg and Co won’t tell people about this. Let’s do so for them 😊. Pls RT
British Social Attitudes Survey author Prof John Curtice: its results, corroborated by polls “is enough to raise doubts about whether, two and half years after the original ballot, leaving the EU necessarily continues to represent the view of a majority of the British public”

Watch #TheBanksFiles last night? Massive unanswered questions around @Arron_banks and the biggest political donation in UK *history*. That’s why we parked this outside his office last month. RT if you want the rest of the media to follow @Channel4News and step up their digging.

Yes, no one should be in jail for this, but why do the SNP think the Spanish constitution, backed by 95% of Catalans at the time should be ignored, because that is as undemocratic as you get. I’m not saying a referendum shouldn’t happen but there’s no easy fix to make that happen
These trials of elected politicians should concern all democrats. The future of Catalonia should be decided through the ballot box, not in the courts. I am sending my best wishes today to the Catalan President and those facing trial. Let’s hope the process is demonstrably fair.
