Let's make them famous!
"Conservative leadership candidates Boris Johnson and Michael Gove are facing growing calls to account for illegal behaviour by the official Vote Leave Brexit campaign.

Background... At exactly the same time things were reaching a peak on Brexit-Day-that-wasn't, this happened: "Vote Leave has dropped its appeal against a £61,000 fine for electoral offences committed during the Brexit referendum."

Re. Vote Leave: "This is the group that has met every day during the campaign to plot strategy and decide on the messages to put out to the media."
Within that group:
- Michael Gove
- Boris Johnson
- Gisela Stuart
So BJ & MG were meeting *daily* with VL!

More background...
And finally, a short potted history of Vote Leave's cheating...

Retweet this, then retweet it again. People need to know what Vote Leave did, especially now that it's beyond dispute. Then its ringleaders, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, need to be held to account.

A list of just some of the damage Brexit will inflict on the EU. Before you shout "nonsense", you should realise *why* these things will happen: we have hundreds of international agreements and treaties as part of the EU. All of them will cease to apply to the UK on Brexit Day.
Every single major consequence of Brexit can be traced directly back to one or other treaty. And there's no "easy fix" possible. Each one will have to be renegotiated from scratch. We will have to replicate, alone, the effort it took the whole EU working together over 40 years.
For a whole lot more about this, see the thread below. This is pure fact. If you leave a club, its rules don't apply any more. And, in the case of Brexit, Bad Stuff Happens!

[NOT a joke, despite date!] Home Office seems to have quietly changed its definition of what constitutes an EU citizen in the last few days. IANAL but if you are a lawyer, it would be worth taking a *very* close look at the differences. Feb 1 2019 version:

One thing is missing in this brilliant speleological analysis of #Brexit: the important Neolithic flint mining industry that had its HQ in Grime's Graves in Norfolk. These underlie an area of some 37 haha (91 acres) with at least 433 shafts dug into chalk to reach seams of flint.
Grime's Graves are near the Great Rees Bogg, a place famous for its 'top hats'. These black cylindrical headgear items extend above the cerebral cortex & are filled with rabbits to protect the skull during underground 'jumping up & down' dances of rage in the 'passages of time'.
The legendary analysis of #Brexit thought that is manifest in @rolandmcs' speleological thinking stands in sharp contrast with the merely historical insight he displayed in this earlier account of currents of thought & policy in the #Brexit campaign:

Boris Johnson claims he didn't say anything about Turkey in the EU referendum campaign. Here's his joint letter with Michael Gove to Downing Street, seven days before the referendum.
The Daily Express, 18 April 2016.

He [Boris Johnson] said: "I am very pro-Turkish but what I certainly can't imagine is a situation in which 77million of my fellow Turks and those of Turkish origin can come here without any checks at all. That is mad - that won't work."
In fact - the former Turkish PM Binali Yıldırım - was even asked about Johnson's remarks shortly after the referendum, in July 2016.

"May God help him and reform him, and I hope he won't make any more mistakes and tries to make it up with the Turks."

It takes a special kind of politician to lie to people and then suggest that people would have to be 'dim' to believe your lies.
Michael Gove is that kind of politician.

1. Remainers had every advantage in the referendum.As much as they had the establishment advantage we also has the worst Leave campaign in the history of political campaigns. #Brexit thread
2. From the outset journalists were asking "where's the plan" and both campaigns elected not to have one, while they bickered among themselves with very public disputes over Twitter. Leave EU went from bad to worse to abysmal.
3. Instead of trying to win over the swing vote, Banks, thinking he was a British Steve Bannon, completely misreading the public, doubled down on the grunty Breitbart propaganda which was only ever going to win over those who had already decided to vote leave.

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica appears to have used a Canadian company, AggregateIQ #AIQ, to cheat UK election laws to steal the #Brexit vote‼️ 1/

Vote Leave was the *official* #Brexit campaign, run by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.🤔

Right before the election, Vote Leave donated a total of £675,315 in 4 donations over 8 days to BeLeave, a political org set up by two 21-something yo’s who worked for Vote Leave.🤨 2/
Quick digression on UK campaign finance law before adding to the story.🤓

The SPENDING limit for Vote Leave (official campaign group) was £7m. Separate campaigns (such as BeLeave) could spend up to £700,000 each, but CANNOT coordinate or “work together”.🤨 3/
