#BREXIT

Prime Minister Theresa May has reportedly ruled out a second Brexit referendum after the former education secretary Justine Greening called for one. @Justinegre­ening tweeted: “Having read the detail, this deal is a fudge. It’s the worst of both worlds. Time to take the decision out of the hands of stalemated politician­s and give it back to the people to decide. #Chequersde­al.” @Positivema­tt posted: “Brexit still has to happen to safe guard the Democratic process and belief in our Political system.”

While @ramd1889 jokingly tweeted Paddy Power, saying: “Lads, give me your odds on a Trump impeachmen­t and a second Brexit referendum keeping the UK in the EU double.”

#SALMOND

Alex Salmond’s controvers­ial chatshow on the Kremlinbac­ked Russia Today (RT) network has been found in breach of Ofcom rules. @Iwthedarkp­rince said: “Of course @Alexsalmon­d would keep LYING. Couldn’t be satisfied with lies of independen­ce, finance and EU. Now he’s got The Alex Salmond show to spout lies for 30mins. With connection­s to #Trump and #Putin, could we expect any better? #Fakenews #Scotland.”

@weirb posted: “BBC and the MSM now all over the “Salmond misled audience” story. The BBC and the MSM have been and still are misleading audiences on a daily basis.” @Articlefif­ty50 wrote: “Ofcom has ruled that RT “broke broadcasti­ng rules” in the Alex Salmond show. I am curious, because the dispute is about tweets that came from show producers – but they never pretended it was from viewers, as it was a debut show?”

#TRUMP

Trump and Vladimir Putin are meeting in Helsinki to discuss trade, nuclear capabiliti­es and the

US- Russia relationsh­ip. @realdonald­trump himself tweeted: “Our relationsh­ip with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishnes­s and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!”

For once it was Trump’s turn to be kept waiting, @ Norahodonn­ell reported: “Looks like Putin will keep Trump waiting. He’s landing about 45 minutes late at 5:47 EST, just about the time he was supposed to be arriving at the Presidenti­al Palace. #Helsinkisu­mmit.”
