Can someone - anyone! - please explain to me why this does not apply to Andrew Neil?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-465665…
Here's Arron Banks promoting Andrew Neil on @bbcthisweek last night in which three Brexit-supporting middle-aged men took on one #PeoplesVote young woman. Note: Andrew Neil helped Arron Banks fundraise for Brexit
And here's @afneil yesterday tweeting an article by the wife of the man who oversaw massive electoral fraud on behalf of the Leave campaign.

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

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

1) The BBC, @bbcnickrobinson and silencing the 48%
#Brexit is more in doubt today than it was yesterday, more in doubt last week than it was last year. Opposition to it has grown slowly but steadly

But you wouldn't think so watching the BBC

2) The BBC's Nick Robinson put out this blog in April 2017, explaining the duty of the national broadcaster. The referendum was over, Remain was no longer an option and there was therefore no requirement for the BBC to report on anything other than variations of #Brexit
3) This judgement, that Remain was dead, was certainly suspect 18 months ago. Today, with #PeoplesVote on everyone's lips and the Brexit plan in tatters it appears to be a remarkable failure from the BBC news team, who have failed in their duty to inform in a balanced fashion

Really sorry of you aren’t interested in Brexit but, well me, my friends and family have to live it and things are getting pretty fluid right now, so I wanted to pull some facts together about Facebook and the referendum that are worth bearing in mind. Thread! 👇
People like @Anna_Soubry and @ChukaUmunna have been making a good case for @peoplesvote_uk based on the idea that in the original ref people didn’t know what kind of Brexit they were voting for. This makes sense because some people voted leave expecting to stay in SM etc 1/
The problem is the counter argument is also good. The mandate granted to the ref was to decide whether we stayed or left and everyone involved was clear about that at the time. To those with a sense of proportion this isn’t convincing but Brexiteers are people of principle 2/

1.@Arron_banks spent Banks spent £8m+ on Brexit. which is indeed very strange since he had real financial difficulties in 2014.
@Arron_Banks, you meeting #Russians in 2015 was really lucrative?

2.@Arron_banks also holds a lot of cash in #Lesotho Holdings, and used that cash to pay local politicians he advised

#Lesotho laughably denies the bribery

Yesterday @bbcnickrobinson made a disturbing mistake, while interviewing Jean-Claude Trichet about #Brexit and financial services for the Today Program (@BBCR4Today)
The mistake boils down to broadcasting demonstrably false information, I assume @BBCNews will want to rectify.
1/9
The details.
The offending claim was made shortly after 1:15:03 (running time). Full audio is here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09…
Transcription:
@bbcnickrobinson "..it is a year to go until Britain is due to leave the EU and there is no evidence that Britain is changing her mind.."
2/9
Nick's claim is unquestionably false, but concurrently aligned with what the current government would like us to believe.
Thus, the growing suspicions that part of the BBC is becoming a mere mouthpiece for the government appear disturbingly founded. I expect a retraction.

Dear @theresa_may,
Yesterday you wrote me a letter about my rights as an EU citizens in the UK.
I reply back in good faith.
(And may I call you Theresa? You called me Maria Ana!)
1/15 (thread)
2. Sadly, much damage has been done. The fact that citizens’ rights were included in the negotiations was enough reason for some to leave.
Discussed in @ScotParl by @willie_rennie (only 2mins listen): bit.ly/2jABfhI
Our @YoungAcademySco Report: bit.ly/2BwXsRX
3. Despite your cheerful tone, many of us don’t feel our rights are secure, as @cliodiaspora rightly puts it. And we still have to apply to secure them, meaning we can be rejected (with scarily high % of errors at the Home Office, as you know).
