Okay, putting this out here now. Because it'll blow a massive hole in #PeoplesVote if it doesn't come out till later. Blair & Mandelson & Rudd - all involved with #PeoplesVote - are all compromised by their relationships with Deripaska, a central figure in Mueller's investigation
We need to talk about foreign interference, #PeoplesVote. And these are not the people to do it. Get some better spokesmen/backers/funders

theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
Deripaska paid Manafort (convicted) & Kliminik (accused of being Russian intelligence asset). The difference in the way he's been treated in the US & UK is hugely telling. British establishment utterly tainted by Russian money.

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

#PeoplesVote #RevokeA50
1) Happy new year all
Important to remember as we go past the 90 days mark till March 29 and Brexit day that despite all the smoke & mirrors, noise & misinformation from both Labour Leadership & the Hard Brexiters there's only 3 options on the table:
2) those 3 #Brexit options are:
1) No deal - crash out & a mad scramble to get ourselves together
2) Theresa May's deal - rule taker not rule maker,horrendous fudge that tried to please everyone & ended up pleasing no-one
3) Remain - stay in the EU under exactly the same benefits
3) There are no other #Brexit options, no time to negotiate them & no interest from the EU27 in tweaking or changing the Brexit deal, anyone who says otherwise is simply lying - there is no "Better Brexit deal".

A rant👇
The growing insanity, lies & pathological hatred emanating ever more shrilly from the Brextemists & our own Prime Minister is telling.
They are terrified. We can smell their sweaty, clammy fear.
They know that we know that their mad adventure,
1/
unforgivably ignited by a posh, lazy, out of touch, ex-Etonian PM, is in serious danger of not happening at all. He lit the blue touch paper with no vision other than to placate a fairly small bunch of rabid geriatric Europhobes festering on the backbenches of the Tory party,
2/
a nefarious gang of crooked, greedy disaster capitalists out to enrich themselves & a wider pack of outright fascist wolves working hand in glove with the likes of the Mercers, Bannon & other foreign enemies of the UK & the EU.
The country has been set on fire.

** announcement **

It's 10 am, and I'll be here all day, live-tweeting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony then Brett's lies and every misogynistic moment in between.

#StopKavanaugh
In addition, there will be timely updates and thoughtful takes on our home page from colleagues @joanmccarter @kerryeleveld @Scout_Finch @wallein @HunterDK et al. dailykos.com
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is here, and she's wearing a cerulean power suit. She looks nervous, keeping her head down--when she finally turned, audible clicks take over the audio.

1) Calm thread on #PeoplesVote & #LabourConference2018
I'm not a fan of Corbyn, but I'm going to try to keep this fair

It's fair to say the campaign for a people's vote is a major force for this week's conference
100s of motions from the CLPs
Corbyn said he'd respect conference
2) Now, obviously politics is complex however Corbyn did say he came into the Leadership to empower the members - yes, Blair & other leaders probably played dodgy tricks in these "compositing" events but Corbyn specifically said he would be different & far more democratic
3) Spreading democracy outwards is a core belief of Corbyn, into CLPs, communities, businesses, everywhere.

Obviously as well, going for a #PeoplesVote carries some risk for the Labour party, in terms of how the press might react.

But this shouldn't, in the end, matter

If you want to explain why the June 2016 was dubious, and why there now needs to be a #PeoplesVote, there are various arguments you can make. The most obvious one is that the Electoral Commission found the Leave campaign had broken the rules on funding...
...as the UK is a signatory to the Venice Commission, we should care about the validity of referenda. Somebody will say "but it was only advisory" in which case - why are we still acting on it? venice.coe.int/webforms/docum…
Another reason is that a simple majority should not be enough to make such a profound change to a country's constitution. A Supermajority should be needed. This is where people will tall you "but it was only advisory"... Schroedinger's referendum...
