NOW: The Banks Files #MediaTacticsExposed by @fatimamanji

Revelations come in a cache of secret emails & documents seen by Channel 4 News which reveal how Banks bombarded the BBC when they tried to run the story, threatening legal action, and accusing them of a smear campaign.
In his book 'Bad Boys of Brexit' Arron Banks wrote:
Tonight Robbie Gibb told Channel 4 News:
The BBC didn't run the story but it was published in the Brexit-backing Sunday Times
Today the BBC told Channel 4 News:
Earlier today, Arron Banks' spin doctor Andy Wigmore, told Channel 4 News that he questioned our journalistic integrity. He also threatened to put one of our journalist's personal phone number on social media.

TONIGHT: Channel 4 News investigation reveals how Arron Banks' pro-Brexit group Leave. EU faked a migrant-crossing video and appeared to have staged photos of migrants attacking women in London.
channel4.com/news/revealed-…
Phil Campion, who fronted 'migrant' Channel crossing video, firmly denied he was personally involved in faking anything: "I'm not telling you anything more. The interview finishes here as far as I'm concerned. I've done nothing wrong whatsoever. So the interview finishes here."

Dear @ZacGoldsmith
As a "contemptuous Remainer", may I assure you that I have considered the implications of "winning", as you put it, very carefully.
First, Remainers long ago gave up the idea of #Brexit being a winner/loser situation. They are all too fully aware that leaving/2
2/ will be nothing but lose/lose all round. Oh, except maybe for those who are trying to avoid the new tax legislation.
Second, the 48% who voted #Remain, and the @the3million and @BritishInEurope who were disenfranchised in the 2016 referendum /3
3/know only too well what it's like to have their vote ignored and their postal votes "lost" or maybe never counted. The BBC & other *impartial* media outlets name them persistently as #Remoaners, if mentioned at all. The PM referred to them as "losers" in the Withdrawal Bill. /4

#brexit seems to be all about feeling over fact and this is especially true of the ReesMogg ERG faction of the Tory right.
I never bought the line that #brexit is about Democracy because most of the Tory right had zero enthusiasm for improving democracy in the UK few of them care about unelected house of lords the unfair FPTP electoral system or transparency on the contrary
Most of the Tory right are interested only in constitutional changes that suit them and if anything strive to be as little democratically accountable as possible.

As a remoaner I have long not accepted the result of #brexit however I have been persuaded by a new brexlutionary kind of democratic legitimacy
The leavers never accepted the 67/33 result of the 1975 referendum and campaigned for 40yrs to overturn it. It follows therefore I should shut up and accept #Brexit
Nigel farage said 52 48 would be unfinished business by a long way and had it been a narrow remain vote he'd have been demanding a 2nd ref so obviously It is outrageous that #Brexit are doing exactly what farage would have done

THREAD (1) When the likes of Hannan feel the need to 'brush off' something so critical to the right-wing/neo-con #Brexit wet dream, we find digging a little deeper to be useful. After all, ground breaking 'shadow trade deals' with right-wing US think tanks is no small fish.
(2) In fact, given the growing negativity surrounding the #Brexit negotiations, compounded by the Govts' own damning economic analysis, one would have thought Hannan and Fox et al, would be shouting from the roof tops about their bespoke 'shadow US-UK trade deal.' Wouldn't you?
(3) The problem for our intrepid trade deal making duo, as almost always, is to be found in the detail; just what are, and who is, behind these neo-con US think tanks? Perhaps Daniel would enlighten us?

1. So @AndyWigmore of Leave.EU tweets investigative journalist @CaroleCadwalla to let her know she’s been "tagged” in a tweet from Russia’s embassy in the UK. Let’s have a quick look at the background & semiotics of this… <THREAD>
2. Carole has done great investigative work into links between Leave.EU’s Brexit campaign & Russia. Many of the same actors were working for both #Brexit & Trump – the far-right hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, Cambridge Analytica… theguardian.com/technology/201…
3. Andy Wigmore accompanied Arron Banks to a 6-hr meeting at the Russian Embassy in 2015, invited by a man Banks assumed to be a Russian FSB officer. They gave Ambassador Yakovenko the “inside track” on Brexit. It is not known what was offered in return.
