Finally, we discover who has been running the massive #DarkMoney-funded campaign for a no-deal Brexit. Why the hell should such campaigns be allowed to keep their backers secret? theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I wrote about these ads and the non-disclosure of their backers in February. We now know who ran them. We *still don't know* who paid for them. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
.@Tim_R_Dawson, the only public face of this #DarkMoney campaign, has plenty of questions to answer. Like: who's paying? Over to you, Tim.

Last night’s #ClimateChangeTheFacts was, on the whole, excellent. Finally, after a mere 30 years of asking, a strong, unflinching BBC film on our existential crisis. The science was laid out clearly and remorselessly. The footage was harrowing and astonishing.
Mirabile dictu, there was even a sequence about a political aspect: the denial industry, funded by fossil fuel companies to prevent action from being taken. I had given up hope of ever seeing that on a BBC documentary.
And it was brilliant to see @GretaThunberg laying out the case for protest so beautifully and inspiringly.

I'll watch the BBC's climate film tonight with interest. I just hope it's better than the last one. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
In either case, isn't it extraordinary that the BBC making a film about #climatebreakdown is billed as a Big Event? In the midst of a climate emergency, films about the subject should be common and regular. But years go by in silence.
We have been starved of information about our existential crisis. And it's not for want of people desperate to make such films. Many of us have tried over and again, only to be rejected out of hand. It makes you wonder what the hell has been going on.

Between these 2 clips, 1m people have watched this argument that ending #climatebreakdown means overthrowing capitalism. Will current affairs programmes now allow us to hear such things? Or will they remain confined to comedy shows?

The BBC and other broadcasters have systematically excluded such perspectives from both current affairs programmes and documentaries. In any other country we would know what to call it. Censorship.
The broadcasters tell us they seek balance. But they seek balance only within a remarkably narrow spectrum of thought. Any views that challenge the system as a whole are excluded. And not passively. In my experience, they are rejected with a string of angry expletives.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

Brexit deal dead.
After this crushing defeat of May's Brexit deal, a loss by 230 votes, she will face a confidence vote brought by Corbyn & Labour. She's pretty sure she will survive that vote but there is no clear path forward. 2nd referendum? Election? #Brexit
"Theresa May has sustained the heaviest parliamentary defeat of any British prime minister in the democratic era after MPs rejected her Brexit deal by a resounding majority of 230." theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

Again.

Dear journalists - can you please drop the totally unhelpful and divisive reference to the 'War Cabinet' from your articles?

Thanks.

1. Yes @UKLabour it is nearly beyond time..back your members...back your voters...back the Maj of the Ppl & actively Oppose not Appease.
Your 1st priority is to the Country. #Brexit in any form harms it.
@Labour4EU know it...Unions know it..Momentum too. theguardian.com/business/2018/…
2. Don't let the Govt stall or the @EU_Commission give them more time. Any #Brexit will become a Tory one..it hands the UK to the Far Right & ERG.
The Ref validity is long gone...past its Use By date.
Lies, Illegalities & Rights to be Removed w/o CONSENT.

#PeoplesVote #FinalSay
3. PS Extensions, Renegotiations, Re-entry, Transitions & a Blind #Brexit are Tory #Brexiter & Labour #Lexiter #RedKipper CONS...
All lead to a Tory #BrexitShambles which Removes Rights & Impoverishes the UK...

Now we are down to name-calling, and still no safe or sensible plan. Is it a #disgrace NHS doctors like me are terrified of the impact of a No Deal #Brexit on our patients? 🤔 /thread
Is it a disgrace a No Deal Brexit means we will, even temporarily, be unable to import vital medicine? Like insulin? google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
Perhaps it’s a disgrace that we only make enough insulin in the U.K. for 1-2000 patients, when 400,000 patients need it every year. Is it a disgrace we are having to stockpile medicine like this? channel4.com/news/factcheck…
