Legal aid ‘deserts’ make human rights unenforceable - News from Parliament - excellent new report from @HumanRightsCtte out today parliament.uk/business/commi…
Here's the quote from me when I do the barrister thing of threatening 'a couple" of points and then making three
Take a look at the "The need for a culture of human rights" section of the report from page 39. Makes important recommendations such as focus on public legal education and teaching human rights in schools publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt201719/jt…
This is a great conclusion from @HumanRightsCtte's report- will anyone listen? Please retweet and like to get this report out there! publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt201719/jt…

In the final para here @NickCohen4 suggests that under a Corbyn Labour government the Human Rights Act would be threatened as it places checks on governments... not sure about that! Certainly no signs of it in anything any Labour politician has said
I do get the point and also worry about some of the anti-dissent tendencies around Corbyn's movement. But whether a Corbyn government would go as far as unravelling the HRA which he and his colleagues have clearly supported, I doubt.

PS this photo montage is terrifying
Can't quite decide who the middle photo reminds me of...

Perhaps

Thatcher’s resignation
No wait it was Mandella’s release - that was earlier in the same year

No wait, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m not very good at this. It was stuff that happened in about 1989/90

I wasn’t very interested in politics
Wait, does Scott and Charlene’s wedding count?

Have dusted off my Nintendo Wii and playing through Super Mario Galaxy with my 8-year-old. Extreme fun and pleasure!
Such an amazingly imaginative and charming game and surprisingly good with two players
Watching a child play a classic Nintendo game for the first time is an amazing pleasure. These games are magical. Takes me back to playing Super Mario World on my friend's imported Super Famicom in 1991 #nerd

Today, @carolecadwalla reports whistleblower @shahmiruk has been completely vindicated by the so-called ‘Taxpayers Alliance’ (founded by same guy who ran Vote Leave) admitting all liability after they sacked and smeared him for revealing illegal activity by Leave campaigns...
... the coverage of this story has been incredibly limited - so many people don’t know the full story, and don’t understand the frustration by those who do about the poor coverage, esp by BBC.
Here’s the original piece by @carolecadwalla...
theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
... the next day, @shahmiruk appeared (along with Cambridge Analytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico ) at an event organised by @Byline_Media at the @frontlineclub for foreign correspondents. I live-tweeted the event in this thread...

📌The President Is a mobster - decades = RU 💰💦

The 2016 elex was won b/c of a cover-up of illegal conduct to hide the truth from voters😱

NYS investigators issued a subpoena to Cohen as part of Trump Foundation probe.🍿

📌Has NYS opened a criminal probe?🍿
💦Deluge 💦

The most damaging thing re Cohen did to Trump was that the DOJ (📌not Democrats) allowed Cohen to enter a guilty plea whose factual basis was that Trump had directed him in the commission of a crime.

Manafort had Kilimnik, who was a pawn of RU GRU as his alter ego.
💦Deluge 3💦

45 thinks he can hold on to his base, if he keep throwing red meat & fooling them.

Shameless grifter GOO Rep. Hunter of CA 'excited' to go to trial. Will he blame PBO/HRC?

Cohen: “At the request of the candidate...for the purpose of influencing the election”

At the same time as the Chakrabarti inquiry was ongoing, the Home Affairs Committee also held their own, real inquiry into antisemitism. One of the many people (& groups) interviewed was Mr Corbyn. This (long) thread will examine his testimony.
parliament.uk/business/commi…
Here's a list of the committee, Naz Shah took no place on this committee due to her suspension. It's chair was Keith Vaz.
Keith lays the praise on a bit thick to start.
While Mr Corbyn confirms that cases of antisemitism have been brought to his attention (he doesn't appear to have taken much interest, more on that later) since he became leader.

Here is is. The Cambridge Analytica/Facebook contract. Denied by Facebook. Denied by Cambridge Analytica. Leaked by @chrisinsilico. And published today by @DamianCollins as part of UK parliament's fake news inquiry.
Yes, the stuff about SCL Elections is confusing but here's a helpful primer. A legal memo sent to Steve Bannon and Rebekah Mercer that explains the company's structure...
This document, also published today, is pretty dear to my heart. It's the intellectual property licence that links Cambridge Analytica to AggregateIQ, & hence LeaveEU to Vote Leave. It was the weird, mystery link that led me to track down @chrisinsilico..
