Yesterday, Russia failed to persuade OPCW that they, the chief suspect, should join an investigation of attempted assassinations in Salisbury. Today’s gambit is to rope the UN Security Council into their disinformation campaign. The world will see through this shameless cynicism

Saviour? David Miliband was one of the rudest interviewees I have ever met. Arrived half an hour late, chatted to all the men in the room before he even looked my way & after a 4 hour train journey to get there, her gave me about 30 mins before rushing off. teapawt.net/thetimes/status/981044…

This notion of a "dominant culture" is abhorrent. Quite rightly, the EU's motto is "united in diversity." What we need is tolerance, respect for each other's culture, religious freedom and the #RuleofLaw. teapawt.net/ManfredWeber/status/98…

If we want to defend our way of life we must know what determines us. Europe needs a debate on identity and dominant culture.

You don't get it do you. If both sides cheated then that means the electorate has been tweeted twice. And that's DOUBLE the reason to stop the madness. teapawt.net/GuidoFawkes/status/978…
