Agh!! No. This is the BBC's editor of live political programmes. It's not "disputed". The Electoral Commission is the legal regulator and it found Vote Leave had broken the law. That's like calling a murder verdict "disputed". The murderer might dispute it but he's still guilty
@BBCDavidJordan I understand you're the person to ask about this. Is it BBC policy to equate a finding from a statutory body with proven lies from liars?
And now you're there, could you please see this thread on @afneil. I have no idea how this is consistent with your editorial guidelines but I'd welcome your insight

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 Editor of Live Political Programmes at the BBC, @RobBurl, is now trolling me by suggesting I made up my assertion I have messages from a senior BBC journalist saying they do code negative imagery about Corbyn into their broadcasts. 1/3
Here are those messages. 2/3
I will not publicly release the name of that senior journalist. But I will mutually agree with @robburl the name of a senior lawyer who I will show the messages to and who will certify that the journalist is an important figure in BBC News.

Over to you, Rob? 3/3

My MP @iainastewart just called me “a disgrace”, in public, for suggesting that #VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw

Is that how my elected representative should speak to me?

1/
.@iainastewart maintains wrongly that High Court have overturned Electoral Commission and ruled Vote Leave didn’t break law. When actually, “The High Court agreed ... that Vote Leave had broken the law” google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.…
.@iainastewart also maintains, again wrongly, that Chequers plan “solves Irish border” with no need for any infrastructure or checks. Despite EU, Irish Govmnt, WTO, and even DUP saying it doesn’t

How Electoral Commission turned blind eye to DUP's shady Brexit cash - emails show watchdog ‘concerned’ by 'new information; about DUP's mysterious £435,000 Brexit donation – but closed case quickly without investigation. Latest @openDemocracy exclusive opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/p…
On June 26, BBC Spotlight broadcast a film that raised serious questions about both the source of the DUP's Brexit cash and how the money was spent. Next morning senior Electoral Commission staff talked internally of 'concerns' about 'new evidence' of potential breaches of law
In Spotlight DUP treasurer Gregory Campbell suggested that he did not know the ultimate source of the £435k - which is illegal under UK election law. So how the Commission respond? They wrote to Campbell reminding him of his duties but did not seek any additional information

Random #Brexit thread by middle-aged, white, Northern, working-class guy...
1. Before #EURef I knew little about EU. Decades of negative UK media had made me a bit sceptical. But I was not really “political”.
2. Got a Polish partner. Been together 18 years. Long before #EURef she’d started getting snarky comments from folks about being “over here” & “going home” etc. This got steadily worse & was kinda shocking.

HUGE NEWS: Electoral Commission finds Vote Leave broke law during #Brexit ref, issuing fines and reporting 2 people - Darren Grimes + Vote Leave's 'responsible person' David Halsall - to police. Full report is stinging ( electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/…) Here's some key points (thread)
Just before the Brexit vote fashion student Darren Grimes was 'given' £675k. In fact this money was spent on his behalf as @openDemocracy showed last year opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/p…. Elec Comm found that this spending was part of a' common plan with Vote Leave." Which is illegal
Before he teamed up w/Vote Leave Darren Grimes had raised the princely sum of £21.51 - then he got £675k. Grimes told us this was his spending. EC found this 'was substantially inaccurate reporting that has resulted in a lack of transparency about whose spending this was.'

.@stephen501 is another #leave voter who wishes he had the chance to vote again now the facts of what #brexit means are becoming clear. Good on you for coming forward Stephen, you are one of millions, just need others to show the same humility! #remainernow #finalsay #fbpe
Here is more from Stephen following his visit to Germany. Highlights the ideologues lies that EU will give us a good deal as they need us more than we need them.
Here is another tweet from #remainernow @stephen501 after he regretted his leave vote he wrote to his MP. Hopefully he can also help persuade other leave voters he knows to do the same now #brexitreality is hitting!
