#MARR
During yesterday’s Andrew Marr Show, Theresa May revealed that Donald Trump told her to sue the EU in a hardline approach to Brexit.
@Paulbranditv commented: “PM says Trump told her to SUE THE EU! That was his secret piece of advice. Not walk away, but sue them. Wow. #Marr.”
@William_bain added: “EU institutions can be ‘sued’ of course by individuals via the EU Treaties & the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ. A rules-based order which Trump’s politics seek to trample all over #marr #brexit.”
@lbcbreakin tweeted: “Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon tells LBC Theresa May completely missed the point of the US president’s negotiating advice on Brexit to ‘sue’ the EU. Mr Bannon says it’s a ‘weapon, a tool, to go in hard”’and ‘the central point of Brexit is independence.”
#TRUMPPROTEST
Thousands of anti-donald Trump campaigners descended on the Scottish Parliament at the weekend for a national demonstration against the American president’s visit. @wgsaraband tweeted: “We’re proud, we’re queer, we’re immigrants loved and embraced by our Scottish family? #Trumpprotest #Scotlandagainsttrump #Trumpukvisit.”
@Dancingthemind commented: “Dear America, Please don’t ever send him here again. Thanks, Britain.”
@mylononzo added: “Today I took a stand in my first ever political protest of any kind. Although in physical pain, I thought today was an opportunity never to be missed.”
#RYANAIR
On Saturday, oxygen masks were deployed on a Ryanair flight between Dublin and Croatia which was diverted due to the cabin becoming depressurised. @Williamsjon tweeted: “German police say 30 passengers taken to hospitals complaining of earaches & headaches after #Ryanair flight FR7312 to Zadar, Croatia, made emergency landing in Frankfurt.”
@Maingd said: “It’s funny because #Ryanair sent me a PDF with my rights and you know what, they are not following them! We still have no information, no food, no place to sleep! #ryanairstyle #neveragain.”
