Has anyone ever heard of that "Freedom association"?
With Chloe Westley's sponsor Halfon, Brexit the Movie "stars" IEA "We-need-the-USA-to-make-Brexit-a succes" Mark Littlewood and "Let's-Break-The-Spending-Limits"/"Let's-Wreck-The-EU" Steve Baker +Cato Institute Ryan Bourne?
Working to "reactivate the Commonwealth"?
Hmm... Does this setting rings a bell?
(Bruges or Bow group event maybe?)
A few familiar faces and orgs here...
I get why the Daily Express is sponsoring this, but why would the (apolitical, right?) TPA have a "session on Europe" with Hannan, Patel and Montgomerie?
Oh, but wait, the Freedom Association is "non-partisan" either!
(As in "it makes no difference between facts and #fakenews", I guess?)
(How is "BetterOffOut" "not-partisan"?)
It's a pressure group.
That I found while looking for pictures for the #jointhedots graph.
Well it's going to spare me quite a lot of research: Many, many of the people&orgs appearing on the graph are there (Mercer's lawyer incl.)
"Non-partisanly" pressuring for Brexit since 2011
Hello @AdamRamsay @PeterKGeoghegan @peterjukes @carolecadwalla
Re: CRC-linked Freedom association (also linked to Hannan, Fox, Mercer's Lawyer Richardson, Farage, Batten, Rees-Mogg, Raab, and the TPA, the IEA, Cato's Bourne etc...), you had this, right?

I don't have time to check all that, but a few interesting addenda.
"Populism is a great thing" Fox guest Carswell, Patel, a cardboard Trump and... Is that ASI-IEA/Trump/NRA's Kate Andrews *again*?
(Is there any event involving Conservatives/think tanks that she's not a part of?)

Note to people thinking that this 👇 just sounds crazy.
-Which I understand. It does seem very unlikely, I'm not contesting that.
The thing is, that "silly theory" has just been endorsed and promoted by Steve Baker.
Last time that guy had a plan, it was called "let's break the spending limits" -and it did happen.
Please note this "fascinating suggestion" has been his dream for quite a few years now.

Quick French girl question, what does it take for a British MP to be considered unfit for the job?
So, to sum up, the answers to this are:
-Wish I knew
-Nothing
-Death
-Murder or weird sex
-A few: "We need safeguards FGS"
Interestingly, no one replied "be targeted by a campaign funded by a (foreign?) #magicmoneytree specialised in lies and hateful propaganda" -when, well... 👇
So apparently MPs can only be deemed unfit for their job (whether they deserve it or not) if they do not abide by Vova's Will.
Who runs this country?
Is that getting back sovereignty?

It's worth knowing about a low-key, pro-BREXIT think tank called POLITEIA. It has links with John REDWOOD, Jacob REES MOGG + Frank FIELD.
Director, Sir Brian WILLIAMSON CBE was chairman of LIFFE (futures), RESOLUTION Plc (insurance) and HSBC Holdings. politeia.co.uk/people/
This @HuffPost article outlines some of new Conservative think tanks that have recently been launched incl. ONWARD (Chairman, Lord FINKELSTEIN) & FREER (incl. Liz TRUSS), often with input from more established think thanks such as the POLICY EXCHANGE & IEA huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/think-ta…
Professor Tim CONGDON, CBE, a member of POLITEIA's Academic Advisory Council was honorary secretary of the Political Economy club from 1999 to 2010. He is an economist and businessman who currently serves as Chairman of the FREEDOM ASSOCIATION. #Brexit

Wow! Reports that #USA, #Britain, #Australia, #Canada, #Japan #Germany etc set to call out #China Ministry of StateSecurity hackers including indictments. Allegation is that it’s been to steal intellectual property. It’ll be a firey session at Chinese Foreign Ministry tomorrow.
Plus looks like sanctions on #China could follow. So much for those happy trade war negotiations. #USA
2 Chinese citizens named ZhuHua & ZhangShilong have been named as hackers linked to #China’s Ministry of StateSecurity+now facing #USA indictments re alleged theft of sensitive commercial secrets. US officials say there’s massive systemic hacking backed by the Chinese Government

1. Some background on this major story which broke yesterday: The Taxpayers' Alliance admitted that 9 "linked" organisations coordinated to vilify @shahmiruk These groups are operating from an office at 55 Tufton Street, around the corner from Westminster.
2. Here is what you need to know about these opaquely-funded libertarian groups, which are pushing for a hard (no-deal) Brexit, advocating deregulation to strike a US-UK free trade deal and include climate science denying Global Warming Policy Foundation👇 desmog.co.uk/2018/07/23/map…
3. @shahmiruk accused the 9 groups of mounting a coordinating campaign to push for a hard-#Brexit and deregulation across the media. The Taxpayers' Alliance has just admitted that, indeed, this is the case and climate science deniers and hard-Brexiters are working together.

Those shocked by the IEA access scandal are fundamentally misunderstanding what Thinktanks do. You might think they are cerebral ivory tower like organisations nothing could be further from the truth.
In practice think tanks are lobbying organisations their job is to populate the information environment on which politicians make decisions
Put another way a think tanks job is to justify a starting conclusion with as much slanted research and half truths as possible on behalf of vested interests who are secretly funding them this is exactly what @MarkJLittlewood was doing

1. I cannot contain my loathing of Jacob Rees-Mogg, Boris Johnson and John Redwood et al. They are wreckers and liars manipulating the stupid and the easily led.

#Brexit thread.
2. When you've been in a political and economic union for forty years things get a bit complicated. There is layer upon layer of complexity and no one person understands it all and never will. It's massive and anyone claiming to understand it fully is lying or overconfident.
3. For instance, the aviation sector covers everything from landing slots to safety certification where often it is difficult to tell what is an EU competence and ans where the line of delineation is between the EU and the nation state.

In which Chloe Westley lies about Vote Leave having a plan and deliberately pretends that no deal does not mean no deal. London #Brexit luvvies are every bit as contemptible as the worst of the anti-democrat remainers.
2. Vote Leave never had a plan. They could never even agree on whether to use Article 50. Later on in the campaign the VL website published their favoured mode of exit, not using A50 and simply repealing the European Communities Act.
3. That's the equivalent of just tearing up the treaties and seeing what happens - making no provisions for trade, or any of the other three hundred areas of economic cooperation including space, maritime surveillance and fishing. ie total collapse of every regulatory system.
