So, I've deleted this. Blair's rep has just been on the blower to say he's not "knee deep" in Deripaska money. Fair enough. Happy to clarify Blair's Breaking the Climate Deadlock received £300k "financial support" from Deripaska. By Blair's standards, this isn't even a little toe
And @peoplesvote_uk say the BBC & Blair & Mandelson's staffers arranged the appearances themselves. I was really trying not to pin it on the BBC, but that'll have to be another day...
But if Blair's people want to get into a proper discussion about where Blair's money comes from now he's re-entering British public life, bring it on! Show us the receipts, fellas.
Me? I'm kind of fascinated by all those Kazakh connections

Here's a question: will a single other British news organisation follow up on this story? And if not, why not?
This was actually a genuine not a rhetorical question. It's easily independently verifiable. Is it really of interest to no other news org??
...and the answer is still no. Not a single other report that I've seen on how the Mueller inquiry has now reached Brexit. But, here's the always excellent @donie at @CNN on the case..

NEW: Cambridge Analytica employee who worked on Brexit is subpoeaned by Robert Mueller. This is BIG. Brittany Kaiser - who sat next to @arron_banks at LeaveEU launch - becomes subject of Mueller inquiry into Trump-Russia collusion 💣🔥🎆
theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
This is Kaiser at the launch of LeaveEU talking about Cambridge Analytica’s work for the campaign. She gave evidence to parliament in which she said Banks had lied about the company’s involvement
This now the SECOND Cambridge Analytica employee to have been subpoenaed by Mueller. Sam Patten - whose business partner Mueller identified as linked to Russian intelligence - has already entered into a plea deal. Kaiser is first figure, however, linked directly to Brexit.

Oh @afneil, you spoil me. A new photo. With ALL the greats.
Farage of course...but meet David Burnside: ex-Ulster unionist MP. And ex-PR to ex-Cambridge Analytica shareholder, Tchenguiz. Ex-publicity fluffer for Dmitryo Firtash, Ukrainian oligarch wanted by FBI. And..drum roll..
...there's even an Oakeshott connection! Burnside used to employ her husband, Nigel Rosser. I know! What are the odds?!? Anyway, this is what Burnside is most famous for. Introducing the Tories to Putin's top pals.
These guys. Burnside likes to hang with Putin's judo buddy & co-author. Here is is with him at the Conservatives Black & White ball in 2013. Today, @Billbrowder gave evidence to parliament about how govt has failed to take action against Russian dirty money...because 🤔

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC session on #Venezuela:

Former president Maduro bears full responsibility for the people's suffering.
Now we have a new leader @jguaido. We cannot delay this critical conversation. We must support the Venezuelan people.
Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:

Nearly 30 million Venezuelans are suffering from hyperinflation.
At least 20 people have died in recent unrests, many more injured.
The needs of the Venezuelan people must be met to enjoy peace.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC:
We are here because people in #Venezuela are searching the trash for food.
We are here because women are resorting to prostitution to make ends meet.
The Maduro regime's failed policies & oppression stole this country's future.

#BREAKING Russia wins again—thanks to Republicans! Senate just killed Democrat-led effort to keep #sanctions on Russian oligarch #Deripaska, @mkraju reports
@mkraju Our EU allies are adding Russians to their sanctions list and Republicans are taking them off. Even @MittRomney caved to the Kremlin today on lifting Deripaska's sanctions. Reporters need to press him hard on this. Is it b/c Romney's helping get a Mormon temple built in Russia??
Oh >> Former Republican Senator David Vitter has been lobbying for #Deripaska’s companies for months. This may explain why so many Republicans voted today for lifting #sanctions. GOP stick together, even when on team Kremlin - CNNPolitics cnn.com/2019/01/16/pol…
