For your Friday lunchtime amusement:

How homeopaths believe #homeopathy can help with antimicrobial resistance:

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
OMG!

More written evidence from homeopaths.

This has to be the clincher, surely... them are mightily potent homeopathic words...

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
Predictably, the College of Medicine pushes quackery in its response on antimicrobial resistance:

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
As if there was a need to demonstrate it any further, David Tredinnick MP puts his ignorance of science, medicine, and just about everything else on show yet again in his written response to the enquiry on antimicrobial resistance:

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
The predictable response from the @prof_standards accredited Society of Homeopaths who also think magic water has a role to play in resolving the problem of antimicrobial resistance:

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

#homeopathy
Powerful (ie unverified and unverifiable anecdotes) from one individual attesting to #homeopathy...

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
#Homeopathy product manufacturer, Ainsworths (Royal Warrants of Appointment to HM The Queen and HRH The Prince of Wales, dontcha know) defending their turf:

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

No actual references given...
Another #homeopathy organisation getting it wrong...

data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
The anti-vaxxers Age of Autism have to have their say, of course:

1/ For those keeping score on just how much polling data and modeling Russian intelligence had, here is some of the reporting. This is not in any chronological order, though I will try.
2/ In these 2 reports @carolecadwalla reports on Cambridge Analytica's data analytics and systems being accessed from Russia and CIS. CA is link between Brexit and Trump. theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/j… theguardian.com/technology/201…
3/ Now Dr Alexander Kogan, who gathered the data for OCEAN analysis that was foundation for CA data analytics. theguardian.com/us-news/2015/d… Kogan had unreported ties to St Petersburg University. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

Thread, in the interest of there being a clear record:

Sputnik has made a number of false statements about me.

This matters, because facts still matter.

Evidence follows. Will a retraction follow too?

cc @SputnikInt
1. Sputnik said I have "no discernible history" in political journalism.

In fact, I was EU and NATO correspondent for @dpa_intl. That fact is discernible, because it's in my Atlantic Council bio.

atlanticcouncil.org/about/experts/…
More: Sputnik +quoted+ my bio in the same article, and provided the link.

Looks like @SputnikInt either:

a) didn't read it;
b) didn't understand it;
or
c) chose to suppress a material fact.

“Facebook still has questions to answer” link to unprecedented global committee hearing starting shortly. Facebook sent its lobbyist. We know questions will be precise at this point but we don’t know whether Facebook will come to answer. ICO certainly will. I’ll thread here.
Long line to get in. People want answers. Press conference, which will happen in between Facebook lobbyist’s evidence and ICO Commissioner who produced damning report on Facebook, was already overbooked yesterday.
Funny. I sure hope no one thinks that’s what this is really about. There is a long list of tough unanswered questions already. Some of those docs may simply add context to FB thinking at the time GSR/SCL was given grace period of a year.

<thread>1. To reify means to take a process & make it static like an object whilst endowing that “object” with special powers.

Referendum voting was a flawed process in which Electoral Law was broken by domestic organisations. It was also flawed b/c of who was disenfranchised.
2. Following flawed process that was subject to criminal acts, the RESULT was reified.

Meaning, made like an object with magical powers.

The BBC, newspapers & major political parties cooperated in the reification of the result.

UKIP agenda treated as worth appeasing.
3. General Election 2017 called by Prime Minister in April 2017 dissolved the HMG that had sent a leaflet to households dissolved.

Any promise the previous government had made no longer bound the new Parliament.

Back to the complex links between gov policy, consultants, pension plans -- & the making of worlds & futures.

Or: where my trawl through parliamentary committees has taken me today & how it bears on current @ucu & @UniversitiesUK negotiations #ucustrikes #USSstrikes
See @ucu's list of things it wants to work with employers on, particularly what is in the orange rectangle #USSstrikes #ucustrike ucu.org.uk/article/9364/F…
Aon Hewitt -- the consultancy Universities UK has been working with since at least 2007 -- has been pushing CDCs (or 'defined aspiration'/'defined ambition') [wow, the language] in its engagements with government at least since 2012 publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cm… #USSstrikes #ucustrike

Some more on the complex relationships between pension consultants & government pension reform. I'm putting these on to Twitter so that those more expert than I on this topic can use, reflect, comment (cc @FrenchShaun @ewanmcg @gailfdavies @CLIVEYB) #ucustrike #USSstrikes
I've been trying to follow Aon Hewitt (given that Universities UK have had a long relationship with Hewitt/Aon Hewitt (at least since 2007 universitiesuk.ac.uk/policy-and-ana…). Hewitt was purchased by Aon in 2010 nytimes.com/2010/07/13/bus… #ucustrike #USSstrikes
How do we understand the relationship between policy change, consultancy behaviour -- and, crucially, the behaviour of Universities UK in relation to pensions? So I started looking at the work of parliamentary committees and where Aon Hewitt appears #ucustrikes #ussstrikes
