I don't write personal stories. But this week I learned Russia & LeaveEU may have co-ordinated their attacks on me. Gobsmacked & a bit freaked out.

Did LeaveEU collude with the Russians? Last week, we published details of secret meetings & deals. This week, that they passed confidential documents about FBI investigation to them. But this is what made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up... 
LeaveEU have consistently promoted Russian foreign policies. This has not been covert. It's like @Nigel_Farage support of Putin & Russia in the European Parliament. It's out there in the open. But now we have shocking & disturbing new info about how this works...
Because this week, @peterjukes & I report how LeaveEU take press releases from the Russian government and craft social media messages to fit their agenda. Note the concern not to look "too overtly Russophile"
The British foreign secretary @PhilipHammondUK had made a speech criticising Russia noting it was only country in Europe that wanted to see UK leave EU. And what did @andywigmore suggest to @Arron_banks? That they send a message of support. To the Russian ambassador...
Take that in. Russia is a hostile foreign power. And LeaveEU, the campaign headed by @Nigel_Farage is sending messages of support to the RUSSIAN ambassador. When criticised by OUR foreign secretary.
Last November, as Mueller's investigation began to bite & the EU Withdrawal Bill approached, things turned nasty. One week after the Russian Embassy wrote to call me a "bad journalist", LeaveEU posted this video. It showedme being beaten. And then threatened with a gun...
Now look again, and see what is going on here. This is LeaveEU tweeting a message of support for the Russian ambassador who's attacking "unscrupulous journalists & politicians". 5 days later, he's revealed to be a key intermediary between Kremlin & Trump campaign...
...and here's the Russian Embassy's twitter account's sinister response to Theresa May when she finally spoke out about Russian interference last November. And look who liked it. @Arron_banks. He's siding with the Russian government. Against our own. Again.
