++BREAKING: Hard Brexit MP's Putin money laundering ties++

Marcus Fysh, one of the proponents for the hardest of #Brexit, revealed to have extensive ties with Money laundering Russian oligarchs and mafia through highly secretive Cyprus companies.
2/
Yet another hard brexiter with Putin ties - this time involved with a company: West Sea Investments Ltd at present hid under the name London Wessex Ltd in the Members' interests register.
publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem…

& this is where it gets horrifying as the very same company...
3/
 the same company is behind one of the biggest laundering heists in history through West Sea Investment owners - two Cypriot firms: Vaspaco Properties Ltd & Belserve Consultants Ltd - which from 2005 to 2009 laundered the $230m from the so-called “Magnitsky fraud”.

Who was...
4/
 Yes "that" Sergei Magnitsky, who when he investigated this fraud was killed. Many EU countries have lobbied for a tougher version of the "Magnitsky act" to ensure dirty money doesnt not corrupt the system & that mafia style practices do not corrupt democracies..

Macrus...
5/
Fysh continues to sit on parliament’s "European scrutiny committee" despite his Magnitsky fraud connection & there is some evidence to show that as well as hiding the name of the company Fysh has submitting false accounts underplaying the huges assets of West Sea Investments.
6/
 To recap:

Fysh has tried to hide financial gains from russian money laudering companies associated with murder in Russia.
He continues to sit on the powerful EU committee & advocates for a hardest brexit thus wrecking chances of EU wide action to tackle Russian mafia/Putin.

++BREAKING NEWS++

Multiple sources now reporting that May asked civil servants whether presssure could be brought on the Queen to “encourage her” to block any article 50 extension or soft brexit if parliament voted for these against the wishes of cabinet or May.

More to follow.
This would of course mean forcing the monarchy into a full scale constitutional crisis by forcing the Queen to choose between her majesty’s appointed government and the sovereignty of parliament.
Decline how? The Queen would be forced into a position of having to choose.

There would be no simple way out.

 OK this might upset a few people, but here goes...a very small thread on why the New Independent Group could actually be a horrific idea and may well finish off the UK as a (relatively) liberal functioning democracy.
2/
 Problem is 2fold: FPTP combined with traditional UK party culture.
Tories and Labour have always been broad churches - with highly centralised control to ensure the extremes dont get out of hand - there have been exceptions in crisis - but compared to many countries its worked
3/
 In the present crisis both traditional centres of Labour & Tories have been weakened through entryism/radicalisation. Add to this a party which attracts centre/moderates MPs to defect we have a recipie for increasing radicalisation of governing parties - not decreasing.

"Companies bidding for work with the British government are being asked to affirm that they support #Brexit as part of the tendering process"

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
"Shortly after A50 was enacted companies that tendered for govt contracts were made to sign declarations that they were pro Brexit or no contract These threats are part of the reason its taken so long for major firms to express their growing concerns re #brexit".
See @hawkred7
Today Theresa May is in Grimsby speaking yet again to a "captive audience" of workers who can hardly show dissent before their Tory supporting employers who have invited May there.

Both Sky & BBC will be broadcasting these silent employees watching our PM address them live.

#BREAKING
Germany faces the biggest hacker attack in its history.
Private data of almost 1000 German #Bundestag, #Regional Parliament & #EU delegates was leaked.
I worked through the leaked data all night. It's shocking!
Not affected so far: #AfD.
bild.de/politik/inland…
#BTleaks
The scale of the attack is unprecedented
Mobile phone numbers, addresses, private family conversations, vacation pictures, bills, communications between politicians, work emails etc. were leaked
In most cases, Outlook was hacked, in some cases also Facebook, Twitter etc.
#BTleaks
The leaked data, which was illegally collected until October 2018 and released December 2018, but just found now, is still publicly available.
I searched through it 5 hours last night, read maybe 3%of it and already found cases of corruption and bad political scandals.

BREAKING: Dover Brexit Impact Document obtained by @SkyNewsPolitics shows plans for Lorry Park on the M20 for “many years”
Dover clearly EXTREMELY nervous about traffic mitigation measures not working “there does not appear to be a Plan B”
THREAD: The report is pretty excoriating about central government and the lack of clarity on Brexit “We are unaware how the government will be allocating funding”

👇🧠⚡Thread on new #InformationWarfare #narratives: Many are wondering about the latest development: #Helsinkisummit, #Putin’s visit, #Trump’s open support of #Russia, etc. Is he insane? No. Russian psychological war manuals are hard to find. The sum up of the latest strategy:
A new strategy: Brainwashing Trump’s base and the rest of the society into whitewashing and normalizing Putin’s Russia. The new narrative is “Yes, Trump works with Putin. It is perfectly normal. Russia is a friend. Putin is good. Thank you, Russia, for helping Trump.”
This is how it is achieved—in the broad daylight. (The silence of the press does not help.)

#BREAKING CNN: Among recently expelled Russian diplomats were a group of spies who tracked Russian defectors, seen as enemies. The Russian spies were casing at least one Russian emigre who received new identity. Raised acute concerns after ex-spy Skripal poisoning in Salisbury UK
That Russian spies under diplomatic cover were tracking a Russian emigre given a new identity in America raised concerns that "the Russians were preparing to target Russian émigrés in the US labeled by the Kremlin as traitors or enemies." cnn.com/2018/04/25/pol…
New CNN report corroborates Steele dossier, which noted Russian diplomats/spies & emigres were key part of the Trump-Russia conspiracy, used to provide regular flow of information/intelligence on Russian oligarchs, their families' activities & assets in US back to the Kremlin.
