I'll translate this for America: Robert Mercer's daughters have shacked up with British hard right politico to do unknown stuff with unknown data. There was an Erik Prince dude involved but he got out. I think that's where we are.
Bekah & Jenji Mercer both very much still on board....
Still. Can't wait for the next Guido article calling me a conspiracy theorist nut. Because - OF COURSE - Guido & Donal Blaney are good friends. Griffin Law doesn't just represent Cambridge Analytica's new zombie lovechild but Paul Staines too.

So @BBCNews have the video. And they’re currently debating whether to use it on teatime bulletin. Most Conservative party members don’t read @ObserverUK & aren’t on Twitter. They will literally never see it unless it’s on BBC.
...I imagine part of the debate is that a lot of people in UK don’t know who Steve Bannon is. But isn’t it time they found out? Banning Muslims from America. That was his idea. Perhaps we could start with that? And then move on to the white supremacism?
So let’s not have a pile-on, but the news value of this is a no brainer, isn’t it? He’s putting himself forward as the future PM. He’s been top of the news cycle for 3 days. And there’s video! That’s usually the killer for any broadcaster. There’s video..

Here it is. Judge for yourself. Here’s the man who helped get Donald Trump elected talking about his new protégée: Boris Johnson
...& here’s the news story. Bannon is talking to @aliklay. This scene didn’t make it into her upcoming doco The Brink but you should see it anyway to understand who Bannon is

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
...& this is my background piece on Bannon, Breitbart & Brexit. Includes fascinating detail from @MatthewdAncona on how furious Johnson was with him when he published story on his relationship with Bannon last Sept.

NEW: Boris Johnson denied & denied & denied any relationship with Steve Bannon & called it ‘a lefty delusion’. So how to explain new video of Bannon describing ‘back & forth’ over key Brexit speech?? My piece with @aliklay footage in @ObserverUK
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
Here’s what Johnson said last summer when it was first reported he was in touch with Bannon. It was all just a ‘lefty delusion’. And right up to this week, his team insisted there had beeen just one text. There’s a video, I said. Cue: 24 hours silence..
Because Johnson had got trapped in a lie. He claimed last year, that Bannon had texted him an invite to meet & he turned it down & that was the end of of it. But the video tells a completely different story...

‼️The Brexit Referendum & the 2016 Trump Campaign are intertwined— the same co-conspirators are involved in both.

Brexit (Leave.eu) was a test run for the Trump 2016 presidential campaign.

This thread will illustrate the big picture. Trump = medium sized fish.
Both campaigns focused on common RW themes: Nationalism, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-Soros, income disparity, etc.—all issues exacerbated by the actions of TOC.

📌Cambridge Analytica is the focal point through which we can see the relationships in play & reveals the elephant in the room: Britain tying its future to an America that is being remade - in a radical and alarming way - by TeamTrump.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
