The letter was always clearly fabricated due to its absolutely bizarre in its phraseology - and most reasonable people saw it for what it was. Trouble is, that it became just another ‘oh it’s only Trump making things up again’ moment with POTUS as usual not being held to account. Trouble is, I don’t think this doctor is going to win too many over as a credible witness.........
Remember when, as Home Secretary, the response to all criticism of removing internet encruption was "If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to be afraid of"? I wonder where those people are right now...
So Trump 'loses' another lawyer this week and replaces him with Rudi Giuliani no less...... Who promptly drops his new boss right back in the mire up to his neck by admitting that Trump had paid back Cohen the $130k hush money - for a payment that Trump has previously denied all knowledge of!! The phrase 'you couldn't make this up' would normally come to mind at this point, but it's Trump!
How long before it's Thomas Mesereau picking up the baton? On the one hand he's got a good track record of keeping people with an awful lot of money out of jail, be it Mike Tyson's rape charge, Michael Jackson for child molestation, or a real estate agent responsible for an almost ludicrous amount of mortgage fraud (while his less-rich co-defendants were sent down the river, a la Steve G's seven mates)...but recently he's been busy failing to keep Bill Cosby out of prison due to Cosby's legal team for the first trial exhausting every single loophole only to end up with a deadlocked jury so Mesereau's hands were tied before the jury were sworn in.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody who so much as glimpsed a couple of posts featuring the relevant hashtag, the centrist FBPE Twitter movement soon unraveled in a ball of barely coherent gobbledygook. The signs were obvious from the start as they were only too quick to say they opposed Britait yet only ever criticised Labour and Corbyn without saying so much as a syllable about the Tories, which became all manner of rote-learned slogans about how Labour will get thrashed in today's local elections for not opposing Britait - and then they just defaulted to the behaviour of Guido Fawkes' comments section, for example... please log in to view this image As a result, today has seen a sudden explosion of people using the ABTV hashtag which just like before is opposing Britait with the exact same rote-learned comments and absolutely failing to highlight anything the Tories say and do, but have dispensed with subtlety altogether and say we should only vote for either the Lib Dems or Greens. Yet in spite of trying to put Britait at the centre of the local elections, at no point have they considered that weakening Labour only served to strengthen the Tories, or that local elections are about opposing austerity - which, by complete coincidence, is something the Lib Dems did a hell of a lot to allow in the first place.
Let me put it this way: there's a reason nobody has ever tried cancelling their Netflix subscription so they could open negotiations with every single film studio to get better subscription terms.

Not to mention that bubonic plague is so well understood by science that devastating outbreaks of it are near non-existent in the modern age. Much like UKIP.
Notable piece here : https://news.sky.com/story/labour-a...g-like-zombies-after-local-elections-11357859 Interesting to contemplate whether the "swing" voter mentality is different for national govt election level than it is for local.
The other angle to consider is whether the various Blairites would be running off to talk to their mates in the media to slag off Corbyn at any opportunity they can think of if their seats were on the line, which they obviously aren't in council elections.
