The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

McFadden explains to #trevorphillips that kids growing up in poverty have worse outcomes later in life
So why didn't you scrap the cap as soon as you won the election? Instead you chose to keep hundreds of thousands of kids needlessly in poverty, knowing the damage it would do

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.
Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.
It's not going to work on anyone.
