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.

Parkinson's involvement is crucial to understanding how deeply involved the government is in this fraud & cover-up. He was a senior director of Vote Leave who directed some of BeLeave's activities.

Factcheck 4: This whole scene of Robert Mercer meeting Arron Banks in the James Bondesque Breitbart lair is purest fantasy. It didn't happen. It would never have happened. I spent a year having people tell me this was a conspiracy theory. This is...unhelpful

This was the only mainstream BBC coverage of Cambridge Analytica for an entire year. It made out it was a loony tunes fantasy. We proved that it wasn't. But Robert Mercer is not a Bond villain. And we need a serious investigation into his role in EUref

Fact check 5. "Zack Massingham" is a real person. And AIQ - Cambridge Analytica's Canadian associate - played a major, still-under investigated role. But Massingham didn't do the modelling. That was done by another company, we believe. Hello @ASIDataScience!

..but here's the thing @ASIDataScience won't answer qs. Cummings won't talk. And Electoral commission won't investigate. So! More electoral fraud?!? Maybe. We know Vote Leave mis-reported how much it spent with them. What else @matthew_elliott? Care to enlighten us??

...but what .@mrJamesGraham brilliantly explains is how AIQ used Facebook's standard tools to find new voters. Voters the other side "don't even know exist". How did they do this? With this super dodgy football data harvesting quiz

Yes. Dominic Cummings is a real person. With emotions. And a pregnant wife. Just wish we could see @shahmiruk in this drama. A real person. With emotions. Who was screwed over by all these people when he revealed the truth.

Fact check 6: @BorisJohnson & @michaelgove aren't comedy characters. @mrjamesgraham says that he used caricature for political effect. But they had key roles in the campaign. They knew about the illegal overspend, dark ads, deliberate lies. Don't buy the buffoonery

Ad break. Just went to check what @arron_banks is saying. Nothing?!?! Nothing from @nigel_farage. Nothing from @andywigmore...
Paging Arron. Paging @Mishcon_de_Reya. What's going on lads?

Fact check 7: Blink & you'll miss it. This single frame is the sole reference in the film to the biggest electoral fraud for a century. This is how they won. Even Cummings would tell you this. He wrote how it was the ads in last days which had most impact. Bought with illegal £££

Fact check 8: This was very good & very clever. @mrjamesgraham incorporated the actual dark ads that Facebook *finally* handed over after months of pressure from @DamianCollins & @commonsCMS. Note: we still don't have LeaveEU ads. Or DUP's. Or Veterans for Britain's. Or Google's

Fact check 9: How did Vote Leave find these "missing" voters? With the dodgy data harvesting football quiz app. I really hope @ICOnews investigates this. It was clearly abusive. Football fans vied to win £50m. App harvested their personal data. Not labelled. Covert. Illegal?

Fact check 10: "We put up a Nobel prize winner. And the BBC puts up some backbench MP to provide 'balance'" Yes! Fact absolutelyfuckingcorrect.

Fact check 11:"Why's nobody talking about these ads?" "Because they're not aimed at the metropolitan elite. They're not seeing them." Again: this is spot on. These were dark ads. But..@BorisJohnson & @michaelgove knew. Don't buy the buffoonery. They knew
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Fact check 11: This whole scene is absolutely spot on. "This is just a game to them." "I'm sick of feeling like nothing. Like I know nothing. I'm sick of it." Brilliant drama. And, as I said to @mrjamesgraham, it doesn't fuck with the historical record.

This is a helpful primer from @jamiejbartlett. Important to realise how much of all this shady shit was done with Facebook's standard tools. Second referendum? General election? Welcome to dystopia. There's nothing to stop it happening all over again

Fact check 12: Jo Cox's death. Remember how sick you felt? Remember the hatred this campaign fuelled? Remember too what's not in this film. How Vote Leave didn't even have the decency to keep their word & cease campaigning. Remember this @darrengrimes_ ?theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

Fact check 13: We knew the result of course well before it was officially announced. Shame there was no space for that clip of Farage announcing defeat at 10. Then watching as the currency plunged & his hedge fund mates made millions...

Fact check 14: We're back to the Game of Thrones sci-fi fantasy future in which Cummings gives a full & frank account. Please please please give us a sodding public inquiry. Make him answer the sodding questions. Find out where @arron_banks got his sodding ££

Fact check 15: Unfortunately this ain't quite right either. The Electoral Commission did find Vote Leave broke the law. And referred it to Met police. It's also referred LeaveEU to the Met police. LeaveEU has been referred to NCA over @arron_banks' possibly impermissible donation

Fact check 16: Let's not forget all the other ongoing investigations. 11 at last count, I think. The NCA, the Met police, the ICO, the Electoral Commission, the FCA, the South African Hawks...&, last but not least, Robert Mueller

Fact check 17: 'Ok, maybe they broke the law. But did it make actually make any difference?' That's not in the film. Because the law breaking isn't in the film. But to all the people who've said this & dismissed @shahmiruk's evidence, here's the correct response
