Oh look @afneil casually endorsing the hard-right, pro-Brexit Adam Smith Institute live on air. NO, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE...

(h/t @mrjarrodglover)
That's the Adam Smith Institute that advocates the dismantling of the National Health Service, btw. Happy Birthday, @nhsengland!
@RobBurl, do jump right in. You're his boss, aren't you? Here to remind you is @afneil repeatedly dismissing my investigation as a conspiracy theory...
Here dismissing @shahmiruk & @chrisinsilico's evidence as "hearsay". That's the evidence that helped the Electoral Commission find Vote Leave have broken four different laws, we discovered this week...

Ugh. So here we go again. Major £££ Facebook campaign targeting dozens of Labour MPs. When is Britain going to wake up to what's going on. What went on. And how our democracy has been utterly corrupted & debased by Facebook
Constituents of target Labour MPs being sent these ads by right-wing group. Here's @YvetteCooperMP but there's dozens more. When will Labour wake up & see the issues we've uncovered aren't to do with party politics, they're to do with democracy

NEW: Cambridge Analytica said US voter @profcarroll had no more right to know what data the company held on him than "a Taliban sitting in a cave". Today, it pleads guilty in case brought by Britain's ICO. This is a big deal. US citizens! You have..drum roll..rights to your data!
This has been a long haul for @profcarroll. We first wrote about his battle to get this data here. Today, Cambridge Analytica finally concede that he had a right to this data. Next question: will he actually get it?
theguardian.com/technology/201…
This all happening in the glamorous environs of Hendon magistrate's court. About as incongruous a location as you can imagine for qs about what data Cambridge Analytica had on 230 million US voters. Why was CA so determined not to hand it over? No answers to that today...

Instead of shitting on other journalists, Buzzfeed, why not *do* journalism? Your biggest investor sits on Facebook's board & is a close friend of Zuck's. He's refused to answer my qs about his sale of Facebook stock - right before Cambridge Analytica story first broke. Why?
You were the main publication shitting on the Cambridge Analytica story two years ago. "Snake oil"! "Conspiracy theory"! And you've been shitting on me ever since I published Wylie's story back in March.

It's all been just a bit odd

The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), the Adam Smith Institute, Policy Exchange and the Legatum Institute have all received financial support from US backers via this route. They are corporate lobbyists - not think tanks.

#Brexit

2. They are exploiting a weakness in UK politics in that the parties, so utterly bereft of talent as they are, outsource their thinking to those entities all gussied up to look like part of their tribe. There is no scrutiny not least because MPs are complicit.
3. With the assistance of a largely complicit media they can very easily get party activists doing their bidding. Many of the low grade rags running at a loss are part of the nexus. This is why we see this garbage published uncritically.

Those shocked by the IEA access scandal are fundamentally misunderstanding what Thinktanks do. You might think they are cerebral ivory tower like organisations nothing could be further from the truth.
In practice think tanks are lobbying organisations their job is to populate the information environment on which politicians make decisions
Put another way a think tanks job is to justify a starting conclusion with as much slanted research and half truths as possible on behalf of vested interests who are secretly funding them this is exactly what @MarkJLittlewood was doing

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

1. I've said all this before but I'm going to keep saying it. There's a very particular reason why #Brexit is a shambles.
2. There is a scramble to make Brexit the big transformational event that they promised it would be. Missing the point entirely.
3. This is stupid. Brexit is a process, not an event. The A50 process is just the admin chores. The divorce proceedings.
