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.

It *was* full of difficult questions. But BBC is being gamed & can’t even see it. Zero understanding of how it’s being used. This interview has already been clipped & edited. It is already out there on social media. Farage as he wants to be seen: bold, angry, attacking ‘elites’
Farage achieved every single one of his objectives & it’s naive to think otherwise. And this is no criticism of Andrew Marr. It’s that we are in a brave new world. And traditional broadcasting is a propagandist’s wet dream

This is a really hard problem for a public service broadcaster to tackle. Esp in an election period. But it’s why BBC’s refusal to take criticism has made it so much worse. It desperately needs an urgent disinformation strategy. But shows no clue of even knowing what it is

Bank holiday reflections: I’ve worked flat-out on this for 2.5 years. It’s triggered multiple investigations & billion $ fines. But I’m in @guardian bubble. Most of UK still entirely in dark. Took a US media org to do this. What next? How to get it out??
I’ve been on @bbc twice. And @skynews twice. And that’s it. This was my single biggest opportunity ever to explain the story on air in UK

This is a cover-up. There’s no other way to put it. By both govt & opposition. Biggest electoral fraud in 100+ years. Foreign interference. Subversion. And for any sort of overview, you must turn to the national broadcaster. The German national broadcaster

‘This is not democracy. Lies spread in darkness paid for with cash from God knows where.’ Two days ago I accused @Facebook of breaking democracy. @TEDchris told them they were free to respond at any time. So far? Nothing but silence...

I began the talk in Ebbw Vale, the Welsh town I visited on the day after the Brexit vote. There’s another fascinating aspect to this. You know who else went there a year later? @facebook’s head of global comms & our ex-deputy prime minister @nick_clegg

You used to serve the British people @nick_clegg. And you know how important this is. And, now, you have the evidence. Are you really going to just ignore this??

Where is France on #Brexit, EP elex, EU top jobs & future of Union? All now very interrelated. Thread based on recent trip to Paris. A lot was made of @EmmanuelMacron stance at last #EUCO. But France's concern is not that UK would act as a "spoiler". This oversimplification 1/
I know majority of officials at UKREP - this isn't how they behave/would behave in Council. France's concern is more subtle-that sheer presence of UK in EU will prevent EU being able to advance a new, substantive agenda beyond 2019. As one official says "UK is 15% of EU budget 2/
"As long as UK is MS, which country would accept a haircut on its expenditures?" So delaying deal on MFF. Or as another official says "Brexit has been good at forcing EU to protect its unity. But it makes it less easy to promote a new vision, new values & a new approach". 3/

Thought #EURef campaign would be based on facts, not lies. I was wrong.
Thought media would call out #Brexit -er lies & challenge obvious bollocks. I was wrong.

1) Again and again I’m struck by the chasm in thinking between leading MP’s on #Brexit and the viewpoint of EU leaders - and remember, if you want a deal, it takes two to tango
2) There is ZERO appetite or intention in EU circles to renegotiate this withdrawal deal
3) The EU would love the U.K. to remain a member of the club but if we’re leaving - then this is the divorce deal

I’m a @UKLabour member living in London. I’m an ex-candidate. I would love to hear @johnmcdonnellMP speak with Jenny Manson tomorrow but my ticket has just been cancelled by Jenny’s team.
I’d love to know why.
I’d guess it’s because I’m the wrong type of Jew, a Zionist.
Here’s the cancellation notice. No explanation.
This is how the event appears currently on @eventbrite so it’s going ahead, just without Jews in attendance.

Of course it’s ok for press to be accredited but oddly they’re not accrediting Jewish press or Jewish journalists.

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...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...
