The tangled web. Spear fished - or gill caught?

Farage said to the European Parliament “you’re not laughing now” when the Putin pleasing Brexit vote was confirmed: The thing is no one was laughing - Russian echoing politics was never a laughing matter.

@Channel4news reports on Putin’s weakening grip on power as Ukraine hits Russia deep in its own territory. Imagine the hold that Putin would have had over Nathan Gill if our security services hadn’t taken him out. Relax - he’s gone. The question is - how credible is it that he was the only one?

President Trump on Iran: "We have had very, very strong talks. We'll see where they lead. We have major points of agreement... They went, I would say perfectly. I would say that if they carry through with that, it'll end that problem, that conflict."
