So fed up with this disinformation. The IEA is not a "think tank". It's a dark money lobbyist. @bbcpolitics knows this yet Edwards on TWICE yesterday. Complaints every day but zero response/accountability from BBC. Question: is there any way of getting it to uphold own charter???
Ok. Let’s list them here. This was Mark Litllewood of IEA on @BBCRadio4 yesterday. Talking about climate change! And as this guy points out...funded by BP. This is insane
Here’s she is again 2 days ago on @bbcnewsnight. The BBC is providing airtime for a big pharma PR telling us to break up the NHS! And presenting it as expert opinion on a news programme! This. Is. Nuts. It’s also totally against spirit of BBC charter

And here’s @bbcnewsnight 4 days ago...Shanker Singham on food standards. Which major US food supplier is not paying him?? Why would our national broadcaster give this PR guff airtime?? Why do we allow them to?

Thread went wrong so putting this here..

‘How much influence is Steve Bannon having?’ ‘This is the biggest load of codswallop..complete codswallop.’ Arron Banks’ supporters know exactly what - who - he’s referring to here. It’s the misogynists’ dog whistle. Congrats. The Faragification of Boris Johnson is now complete
And there. Right on cue..
And again. Journalist attacks journalist for doing journalism...providing further fuel to millionaire using it to pursue ongoing attack campaign to silence journalism. What a journalist. What a mensch

Oh, Arron. This is too tragic. Nigel Farage's secret funder Arron Banks has sent me a pre-action letter this morning: he's suing me over this TED talk. If you haven't watched it, please do. I say he lied about his contact with Russian govt. Because he did
ted.com/talks/carole_c…
So strange that you're going after me, @arron_banks not @TEDTalks or @guardian. Almost as if you think bullying an individual journalist is more effective, intimidation-wise. You can add that one to the bill for free, if you like: you're a bully
Not even 1pm & Boris Johnson campaigner & Arron Banks conduit, Guido has his SECOND piece up about me today. Impressive, lads. One would almost think there's some sort of concerted campaign to bring me down

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..

Great to see Sanders pointing out a critical fact: the largest & most influential Dem think tank in DC is funded by large corporations & foreign regimes, and that shapes its ideology. Led by @neeratanden & other Clinton acolytes, it's now using those resources to attack Sanders:
Below is the key excerpt from the Sanders letter. CAP has been Ground Zero for the corporatist and militarist rot of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party for many years. documentcloud.org/documents/5839…
Beyond the corporate funders and foreign regimes that fund CAP, @neeratanden hides many of its largest funders behind a wall of anonymity, refusing to disclose who funds them. So the the largest DC Dem think tank is sustained with dark money americanprogress.org/c3-our-support…

This is the insanity & silly talk promoted by central bankers globally.

Nobody asks the question.

Think tank behind Brexiteers’ trade blueprint chased funds from US donors👉 The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) and its trade policy chief, Shanker Singham, launched the “Plan A+” report in london unearthed.greenpeace.org/2018/09/25/thi…
with the backing of Boris Johnson and David Davis, as well as the European Research Group, an influential faction of Eurosceptic MPs led by Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The trip, which he later described as “lucrative”, included stops at conservative think tanks with links to “dark money” donors the Koch brothers, the reclusive oil and gas billionaires who have pumped millions of dollars into climate scepticism and other libertarian causes.

We recently learned that among the first American candidates for national office to make use of Cambridge Analytica's services was Art Robinson, running for US Representative in Oregon's 4th district. But who is Art Robinson? Let's dig into this. 1/
oregonlive.com/today/index.ss…
Art Robinson has a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California. In 1980 he moved to Oregon and founded the nonprofit Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine in Cave Junction. Don't be fooled, though. This is not a prestigious organization. 2/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_B.…
Cave Junction is a small, rural town in southern Oregon with fewer than 2000 residents. It is not a center of biochemical and health research. However, Robinson's OISM claims to research a wide variety of topics, including aging, elementary science education & the environment. 3/

Ex-Russian spy & daughter 'poisoned' in UK sparks fears of another Kremlin-backed hit. Investigators scrambling to identify the chemical used. Skripal feared for his life after his wife died in a car crash & his son was killed in a road incident.. thesun.co.uk/news/5733372/s…
UK warns Kremlin over poisoning of ex-spy Skripal & his daughter. Recalling Litvinenko murder, FM Johnson said UK was "in the lead across the world" in trying to counteract a "host of malign activity" by Russia.

Skripal's brother, son & wife have been killed in the last 2 year.
