Ah-ha! Was wondering who this Angus Grossart is who Putin has awarded the Pushkin Medal to...and of course! It's the man who hosted Steve Bannon at his super-secret Scottish think tank last autumn...Remember: when he was here visiting Gove, Rees-Mogg, Farage et al
But you say, everyone invites the alt right's favourite white nationalist Steve Bannon to events in Scotland. Even the @bbc. And you'd be right. But it's a curious connection...
Quick recap what else Russian embassy is up to today: attacking UK government & tagging in complaints about coverage of "electoral meddling" to @guardian @bbcrussian & a whole host of other news orgs...

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

1. Why is #Putin moving so fast to absorb #Belarus and finish off US allies in #Syria? Because two people know what Putin did during 2016: Putin and Mueller. Trump is too much a fool for Russians to have trusted him with everything. Just enough to expose him to major crimes.
2. Putin's SVR and GRU run signals intel all over DC. They are picking up @realDonaldTrump's minions on their cell phones and emails. They know Mueller is close. Also, I think GRU may have hacked the US DC CM/ECF system. I observed some very odd stuff on the docket on Thursday.
3. IMO cases that are coming will name many members of @SenateGOP @HouseGOP and impact three large law firms in DC & NY. The amount of signals traffic from all this would be huge. Many lawyers think email is secret. Even think their cell phones are safe. So silly.

GOP senators: The Trump adm is covering up Khashoggi’s killing

Post CIA Haspel briefing Graham is highly confident MbS is responsible for the brutal murder of Khashoggi.

MbS planned, ordered & oversaw the murder of Khoshoggi

Flynn substantially cooperated.

📌Recall GHWB commissioned the Dossier

📌Manafort case movement in D.C. , the special counsel's team says that they don't wish to have that discussion unsealed quite yet

📌Mueller office will file new court documents on Manafort, Cohen, Flynn

📌Flynn = 3 cases

The gilets jaunes (yellow vest) movement, loosely organised on social media, had been hijacked by experienced, violent hard L & far R provocateurs for their own purposes, & fired up by viral fakes inserted into the internet by likely Russian hands. #RAM

Short thread about this Steve #Bannon interview about his efforts to support rightwing populists in Europe that is exciting a lot of people here. @guyverhofstadt even came up with #BanBannon hashtag thedailybeast.com/mueller-finall…
Bannon wants to unite Europe's rightwing populists/far-Right & nationalist groups into coherent political force. He's setting up a foundation, which he compares to @georgesoros network, to help them with funding. But he'll only have up to 10 employees & no serious cash.
Europe's rightwing populists have tried to unite before, notably in the @Europarl_EN, but not with great success, bc their policies pose a structural problem for a pan-European movement. Often their debates descended into insult-laden quarrels.

Bildungsverlierer @Augstein glaubt, die #Römer nannten das #Mittelmeer #MareNostrum, weil es das Land der Europäer gewesen sei. Nein, es war das Meer der Römer, weil sie rund ums Mittelmeer alle Küsten besetzt hatten. Es war praktisch ein "Binnenmeer".

spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
.@augstein glaubt auch, es gäbe falsche Fragen und führt als Beispiel "Darf ich Angela Merkel töten?" an. Das ist allerdings keine falsche Frage, sondern eine recht einfache Frage. Man darf nicht.

Die Argumentation von Augstein ist seltsam verschwurbelt.
Und natürlich ist auch die Frage erlaubt, warum private NGO glauben, nach der Rettung von sich freiwillig in Seenot begebenden Afrikaner diese nicht zurück zur nächsten Küste zu bringen, wie das Seerecht es vorschreibt, sondern nach Europa zu kutschieren.

Steve Bannon was a political genius who knew how to @Breitbart the public. What is "#Breitbarting?" Creating a culture to win influence. The Hollywood approach (aka Milo). Bannon's "falling out" with Trump made zero sense. It was staged. Why? Simple. He needed to launch #Qanon.
2/ My problem with this theory... #Bannon's entire career was propped up by unapologetic pro-zionists. So when Q responded to an Anon's post on April 3rd it threw this theory right out the window... This is NOT the reporting of a zionist. #Qanon
3/ Q could have used ANY excuse to bring up the #Pope and/or Rome. This cartoon was a red herring. If you follow the crumbs, Q changes the subject back to Epstein Island and stays there. So I'm left with hack or herring? Or did Bannon really win for @POTUS then step out. #Qanon

People close to Bannon, who left the WH in August & returned as head of bREICHbart (Fake) News, say he’s told them he *doesn’t have a lawyer* and isn’t worried about potential exposure. 😂🤣😂🤣 3/
