Hahahahahaha!!! Omg. The TIMING! On the day Britain was set to leave European Union, the official campaign finally admits it broke the law. Deliberately. Massively. And overseen by Theresa May’s closest advisor & one of her ministers. Incredible
Now have the good grace & decency apologise to @shahmiruk for everything you put him through. Especially you @theresa_may. It was your own office that outed him. Have some shame
So today @shahmiruk & I recorded a podcast for the @guardian & it was all quite emotional - Shahmir re-living the awful trauma of a year ago. I am so in awe of the guts he’s shown. Please show him the 💕. He has been through the wringer. All because he told the truth.

Well, I'd love to know what evidence @afneil has for this statement. The Sun was a passionate cheerleader for Brexit. And within 24 hrs of BeLeave receiving the £675k we know now was illegal....guess what Sun's headline was? Go on...have a WILD & CRAZY guess..
Yes! Guess who else BeLeaved? Rupert Murdoch! And remember who was the co-convener of Vote Leave? Only Rupert's main man, @michaelgove
So, sure @afneil. I'm all ears. I'd love to know what you know. But here's the @nytimes' piece - that took 6 months & involved 150 interviews - and concludes Murdoch has destabilised democracy on at least 2 continents.

Fascinating. The role of Robbie Gibb & Seumas Milne & all the other spin doctors & advisors is kept from us by the omerta of the lobby system. Who does it serve? Because it's not the public..
Recommend this on Gibb by @chedwardes. I was intrigued by this titbit: "A great friend was Andrew Neil whose politics and political analysis he held in high regard. Gibb, his wife Liz and two daughters would holiday at Neil’s house in the south of France"

standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
I had no idea about relationship between Gibb & his former colleagues/friends at BBC until I was so overwhelmingly flummoxed by @bbcpolitics' treatment of @shahmiruk. Was just so weird & inexplicable.

Zuckerberg is writing op-eds & sending out Clegg & flying from Germany to Ireland today... right over the country that more than any other in last year has tried to hold him to account. And that is in the middle of a shitshow his platform helped created

Meanwhile, this is excellent news. Well done @DamianCollins & @CommonsCMS. Bad luck @Facebook. You can run but you can’t hide...

THREAD (In Progress)

Over the years a lot has been said about the UK’s relationship with Europe/EEC/EU. So much of it has been out of earshot of the electorate. Here is just some of what has been said /1

Our involvement with Europe has introduced into our politics a culture of deceit which is quite new in our history - Christopher Booker 2001 /2
A day will come when we shall see the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas - Victor Hugo 1849 /3
