Ohmygod. Caught up with @BBCNewsnight on @arron_banks. Banks released financial statements to @bbc to "clear his name". Including email that says "Redact the reference for Ural Properties". A company with a Russian name. Based in a secrecy jurisdiction, @johnsweeneyroar notes..
Great work also by Iain Campbell who's not on Twitter but has been on this for a LONG time. Feel sure @juliettegarside will be interested in (re)-appearance of Alan Kentish. Also @annmarlowe.
Full programme here bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
To be clear, what is is amazing about this is that all of us @arron_banks watchers had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about the involvement any company called Ural Properties. The own goalness of this is off the scales. Chapeau, Arron. And thank you
And well done @johnsweeneyroar & @bbcnewsnight. So glad to see you on this. (X years late grumble grumble) But HERE NOW

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

@BBCNewsnight @JoStevensLabour @KirstyWark 1/. As a matter of a fact @johnsweeneyroar on @BBCNewsnight WAS doing the sort of job I would hope an investigative journalist with some financial skills.

👏👏👏

He picked up some VERY interesting points by scrutinising the documents...as Marr should have done.
@BBCNewsnight @JoStevensLabour @KirstyWark @johnsweeneyroar 2/.

A) Assisted by an Accountant, Ian Campbell, he confirmed that there was NO evidence to suggest the money came from Rock Services Ltd either as a gift or a loan to LeaveEU. This contradicts what Banks said to Marr.
@BBCNewsnight @JoStevensLabour @KirstyWark @johnsweeneyroar 3/

B) apparently Banks handed over to #Marr bank statements from the IoMan Company Rock Holdings Ltd, with Wigmore saying “we have nothing to hide”.

Amongst those Papers was an email that looked as if it was not intended to be included.

Banks lied to #Marr, who was either too stupid to cope, or corrupt. Banks said the donation to LeaveEU came from cash generated by Rock Services Ltd (“RSL”) from UK insurance business.
This is a lie.
Rock Services Ltd is wholly owned by Rock Holdings Ltd in the Isle if Man.
Isle of Man accounts cannot be accesses by the public. Rock Services Ltd has no trading income, it has no external customers. it is a shell company through which cash from Gibraltar is washed. We cannot know the source of that cash.

Of £50m turnover in 2016
£25m came from Southern Rock Insurance Company Ltd (“SRICL”) and £31m from Eldon Insurance Services Ltd (“EISL”). EISL brokes insurance to consumers using various brands like #GoSkippy. It made a loss of £25k. BUT it ALSO received £22m from SRICL. This looks like weird double

Phew. Well done Arron Banks. That's the end of that chapter! No more awkward questions about meetings with the Russians, or the links with Belize or the mines that may not have had diamonds in them. Or questions about payments to Lesotho officials. We can all pack up and go home
*whispers* I'm not packing up and going home
Arron Banks owns insurer ... Go Skippy ... the reviews read like Brexit

I think the big reveal is coming.
Once people don't believe what they are told anymore - the power is gone. People keep waking up to the fact they've been lied to and played for a very long time.
