Very sensible article today by former Remain supporter @GregHands, who says he is “concerned at the continued attempts to refight the referendum and put the Leave campaigns in the dock” & says “we should all unite around getting the best deal for Britain” telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
This is a welcome contrast to the DCMS ctte’s report which says “the precise nature of the co-ordination between the different organisations and campaigns should be investigated further". This selectively ignores FB’s and ICO’s evidence (unless they wish to investigate Remain) 
Damian Collins suggests that “BeLeave used datasets covering the same audiences", but misrepresents the fact that this was a one-off mistake, despite having evidence from both FB and AIQ (mysteriously absent from the report) illustrating this
He also notes that “AIQ had a working relationship with CA focused on the use of data in campaigns”. Sure, but here’s the ICO explaining no CA data was shared with AIQ, and here’s FB explaining that not only is there no evidence but that it’d be impossible to do
Sensational newspaper articles are no doubt easier to crib from than detailed evidence, but they shouldn’t form the basis for Select Committee reports. I hope Damian Collins reads Greg Hands’ article, and realises that sensible Remainers can see through Carole’s conspiracies
