Another news story & yet more questions. Met police confirm it can’t investigate Russian interference. And government won’t.
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
Whoah! WHAT??? Met police confirm they are unable to investigate ‘foreign-based companies including political strategy & data analytics companies’. What?? Pretty much all spending by every Leave campaign was funnelled through foreign firms. Absolutely CENTRAL to everything
But but but...that’s the whole point. What on earth is Met saying here? Everything they are supposed to be investigating involves foreign firms. Canadian turn AIQ central to questions of overspending & co-ordination by Vote Leave, BeLeave, DUP & Vets for Britain.
Millions of £ spent by official campaign overseen by govt ministers...is beyond investigation by Met?!? And what about US firm Goddard Gunster central to qs around LeaveEU. And Facebook! *Everything* went through Facebook. That too is beyond remit of any police investigation??

Meet Victoria Woodcock. She was Vote Leave's operations director. She was also the admin for a shared drive that clearly showed BeLeave & Vote Leave were illicitly co-ordinating. Cummings' name was deleted from this drive after investigations began.
Here we go. Cold, hard evidence. Deleted by someone featured in this drama. It looks like obstruction of justice. It smells like obstruction of justice. And all those people up on screen have refused to answer questions about it...
"Where are we at, Parky?" First reference to Stephen Parkinson. Political secretary to @theresa_may. Special friend of @ShahmirUK. Used number 10 press office to smear & discredit him. Hasn't answered a single question. Close to certain BBC journalists.

I've seen C4's Brexit: An Uncivil War...& it's a brilliant, compelling drama. James Graham, the writer, captures the campaign's dark toxic heart & Cumberbatch delivers a stand-out performance. But it also whitewashes the deeply serious criminal offences we know were committed..
It's on tonight at 9pm & it's a must-watch. But @ObserverUK & many others (@DamianCollins @chrisinsilico @shahmiruk @AdamRamsay @PeterKGeoghegan @maryftz @JolyonMaugham @EmmaLBriant @Channel4News @brexitsham @tomwatson @peterjukes) are still struggling to try & expose the truth..
.@mrJamesGraham, the writer, hopes it will start a national conversation. I hope so too. Which is why I - & others - will be trying to livetweet the issues it raises, and offences it obscures, in real time...

Nice try, Tony, but that's bollocks
And @MattGarrahan, Tony Hall has now put @ft into an embarrassing position because you accepted his word and repeated it as fact which it's not so you'll need to add a clarification to this.
This is why it matters, Tony Hall. @afneil's casual misogyny opened a door for others. It gave them permission to abuse me & other women and a language to do it in. The BBC by failing to act implicitly endorsed it. And now, with this erroneous statement you've compounded it again
