“He wanted Brexit – he gets to carry the can. If he’s not unseated by a massive majority at the next election then this town gets what it deserves,” he said. amp.theguardian.com/business/2019/…
For some reason that linkmis not working now.

Here is an extra article. Hope the original link works soon.

And this link might work better than the first one.

If you do not have time to read the FULL ⁦@CommonsCMS⁩ report at least read this excellent ⁦@Byline_Media⁩ summary that points out the interim report was read more in Russia than the U.K. bylinetimes.com/2019/02/18/exp…
2/ The committee estimates that the state-controlled channels RT and Sputnik’s pro-Leave websites garnered 134 million potential impressions, nearly five times the reach of the two domestic campaigns combined. (Vote Leave with 33 million impressions and Leave EU with 11 million).
3/ The IRA russian troll farm was ..intervening in British politics..stirring up Islamophobia & racial hatred. It “tried to fuel social divisions, including religious tensions, in the aftermath of the Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge and Finsbury Park terror attacks”

According to the report, Facebook deliberately broke privacy and competition law, refuses to tackle abusive or misleading accounts, and is staffed by executives who deliberately obstructed or misled the committee.

DUP Dark money. Secrecy around it deplored.

Leave EU - basically saying Banks and Wigmore lies.

Electoral Commission powers and fines should be strengthened and laws rewritten.

There should be a Public Inquiry into Russian Interference into the ref and elections.
3/ This is a thread from David Carroll @profcarroll going into rather more detail about the DCMS Committee Report.

It has revived all those concerns I have about where our data are now?

This article from ⁦@CNN⁩ puts Cambridge Analytica’s contact with Assange re Clinton around June 2016, and demonstrates Rebekah Mercer’s knowledge and involvement

2/. I would also point out that Pascarle’s repetition that they only used GOP data, not CA is pretty disingenuous given that CA/Nix & AiQ had been working on obtaining and manipulating data for use on the GOP database from 2014 onwards.

So at what point did that become GOP data
3/. That information is clear from the evidence submitted by @chrisinsilico to the House of Commons DCMS Committee where the emails between CA/SCL/ AiQ about these data being provided to Ambassador Bolton certainly in 2015

Graham Brady says here: “How to bypass the backstop and come up with a solution? Crucially we don’t need to hammer out those details before tomorrow.” With 29 March fast approaching, when should these details, elusive during 18 months of EU-UK #Brexit negotiations, be hammered? 1
EU and UK negotiatiors spent months thinking round bilaterally acceptable solutions to the backstop. They arrived at current document. Reminder: the UK-wide customs arrangement with the EU featured in the backstop was requested by HMG not Brussels 2
Withdrawal Agreement already says EU open to alternatives to backstop eg using technology if and when viable BUT EU no deal planning documents clearly say in case if no deal #Brexit some physical checks will have to take place. Technology alone doesnt cut the mustard for the EU 3

THREAD: right here's what I think is really going on with #Brexit:

May's game is move to a 2nd ref but blame Corbyn by havin all neolib forces pressure him to support it. then rig the vote while scaring us out of 'no deal' which is actually just 'brexit' - what we voted for 1/18
if the Tories adopt:
Lab Customs union deal = they split
No deal = they split
May's deal = they split
A people's vote = the country splits
this has been their plan all along: to forfeit country for party. to steal brexit. they do not want to leave. 'no deal' was a rebranding 2/19
Corbyn knows this & is bluffing May all the way to that cliff edge because actually he's got wings, & the freedom of a clean break will aid his program, free from EU spending caps or investment rules. he's far more willing to push this to the wire than May 3/19

1) At Labour conference #PeoplesVote supporters could either vote for the #Brexit policy that had a 2nd ref tacked on the end in "other options" - or no 2nd ref policy at all
They basically had no choice

Similar to May's "my deal or no deal" stitch up
2) so if you find yourself saying "we voted overwhelmingly at conference for Labour #Brexit policy" it's a bit like saying "the single candidate standing got a massive majority"

Either youve been taken in by the propaganda, or you're actively spreading it
3) the #Brexit policy voted on at Labour conference is a well crafted & therefore meaningless stitch up which puts no constraints on Corbyn whatsoever.

He can ignore the members & he is doing so on a #PeoplesVote

The Tories and their media mates are dodging the question of what happens when May's botched #Brexit deal gets voted out by The Commons.
This Thread is on why the Brexit deal vote is essentially a vote of confidence and why a defeat should mean a General Election.
(1 of 6)
The key concept here is 'confidence'. A government stays in power by having the confidence of the House of Commons. Meaning that it has a majority to pass its business. Losing a vote of confidence means they've 'lost' the House and by convention a General Election is due
(2 of 6)
The #Brexit deal vote is for all intents and purposes a vote of confidence. It is what the Tories have said themselves their government is all about achieving. It's been their excuse for neglect of other areas of policy, like social care. It is a "big set piece" vote.

1/ Why is @UKLabour not opposing #Brexit when Tory Brexit is in tatters & 72% of the Labour supporters do oppose Brexit ? This is a very intriguing question & it feels counterintuitive, especially since most Labour MPs oppose Brexit too. But is it?
2/ Despite Labour party & and supporters opposing #Brexit, supporting it is the surest way to to winning the next general election. And this has nothing to do with wanting to attract Leave voters at all - nothing at all.
3/ There is only one Brexit scenario that will keep the @Conservatives in power: A hard #Brexit that at the same time is a success. And we know how likely that is. All other scenarios will almost automatically lead to a @UKLabour Govt.

1/ Very small thread on why many people (including me) have been getting #Brexit wrong. We've been blinded by the theatre & complex issues of the "EU negotiations" - but in fact its much simpler than that....indeed.....
2/ #Brexit "EU negotiations" are not in any significant way actually taking place, & to the extent that that they are at a minor level even these are largely irrelevant. Once I grasped this everything else of the last 12 months made sense.....
3/ The political establishment whether Corbyn's Labour or May's Conservatives (& indeed much of the political media) are, contrary to the breathless reporting of BBC etc, largely unconcerned with the concrete nature of the EU process (not negotiations) of #Brexit. For 2 reasons..
