Breaking: Evening Standard publishes press release standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
They want to be treated like pantomime villains. That's the plan. Note: Electoral Commission found they broke the law & passed evidence to police. ICO investigation ongoing. National Crime Agency investigating Russia links - confirmed Fri by @commonsCMS. Evidence passed to FBI
Spamming the news cycle just shouldn't be this easy. He didn't even have the wit to ask the nonsense test the right sodding question. We don't think you took "funding from Russia" @arron_banks. We reported that you were offered sweetheart deals brokered by the Russian ambassador
This is the actual news line, by the way. From @commonsCMS report. Paging @standardnews...

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
Loads more here...

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

A-Z of #LabourAntisemitism to be used when @jeremycorbyn supporters & @UKLabour members try to tell you there is no antisemitism in their party!

Many of these abhorrent racists have been let off by Labour, are free to peddle their revolting views about Jews to the public.
1: Alan Bull, who was selected by @uklabour as a candidate, in the full knowledge he is a Holocaust denier. He was supported by @PeoplesMomentum Director Shawcroft.
2: Afzal Khan, then an @uklabour MEP and now the MP for Manchester Gorton, compared "Israel to Nazis". No disciplinary action was taken. telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/1…

UK Labour's Trade Spokesman @BarryGardiner, after dismissing the May plan as being an unworkable fudge (which it is) proposes a "Mercosur" style co-decision making approach to trade agreements and regulartory alignment. /1 #SundayPolitics
This in the context of earlier saying that not having a decision seat in the EU, and a policy taker would make the UK a "vassal state" (which it would). This is just a different version of the same fudge that he earlier said was unworkable. /2 #SundayPolitics
The official @UKLabour and @Conservatives #Brexit solutions are now practically speaking identical. Having cake that you are given. And this solution is unworkable for the reasons being advanced by @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, however loathsome it is to agree with anything he says. /3

These are the organisations that contributed towards the Chakrabarti report. This is the first time I looked over the groups, I presume that someone did at the time. There are of course interested parties like the Board of Deputies, but also a number of unusual & unsavoury groups
For example who are 'Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign'?
Here's where they link to Tony Greenstein's hate-filled blog. Tony lives in Brighton does he have any other links to them? What input did they have into the report?

A BLITZ ON SERGEI SKRIPAL
Sergei Skripal has recently been in the news as he was poisoned with a nerve agent in Salisbury, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Theresa May has said that Russia was behind the attack, dismissing 23 Russian ambassadors in the process.

Skripal was born on June 23, 1951 in Kaliningrad, Russia.

This!
As @theresa_may tells @HouseofCommons it's 'highly likely' Moscow ordered the attack on former Russian spy in Salisbury & most MPs show support to HMG to take strong action against Russia together with West & EU...
Remember this from @Nigel_Farage?
theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
What's the common point between:
- Farage: theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
- Le Pen: ft.com/content/010eec…
- Germany's AfD: time.com/4955503/german…
- Holland's Geert Wilders: forbes.com/sites/melikkay…
- Italy's Lega Nord: ft.com/content/0d33d2…
- Hungary's Orban: thedailybeast.com/how-putins-usi…
European far-right parties & their populist leaders love the idea they are the real & only patriots. Usually great orators, they focus on negative emotions: fear, resentment, nostalgia of a time that never was. But ask them about their relationship with Russia and they go silent!
