1. second

   Help expresses greater dependence and deeper need than aid. In extremity we say «God help me!» rather than «God aid me!» In time of danger we cry «help! help!» rather than «aid! aid!» To aid is to second another’s own exertions. We can speak of helping the helpless, but not of aiding them. Help includes aid, but aid may fall short of the meaning of help. In law to aid or abet makes one a principal. (Compare synonyms for ACCESSORY.) To cooperate is to aid as an equal; to assist implies a subordinate and secondary relation. One assists a fallen friend to rise; he cooperates with him in helping others. Encourage refers to mental aid, as uphold now usually does; succor and support, oftenest to material assistance. We encourage the timid or despondent, succor the endangered, support the weak, uphold those who else might be shaken or cast down. Compare ABET; PROMOTE.

   Synonyms:
   abet, aid, assist, befriend, cooperate, encourage, foster, help, stand by, succor, support, sustain, uphold

   Antonyms:
   counteract, discourage, oppose, resist, thwart, withstand

   Preposition:
   Help in an enterprise with money; help to success; against the enemy.

3. Theresa May:

   Brexit means Brexit, the campaign was fought, the vote was held, turnout was high and the public gave their verdict. There must be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it through the back door and no second referendum.

4. Donald Trump:

   Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher, likewise, the networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case, women’s health issues. Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be.

5. Sylvia Ewing:

   Growing into a leader who is a servant of the people is what he must do, i hope he will learn the lesson of Mayor Daley before him and use his second term to bring some of his critics into his administration.
