The usual caveat about polling, but this is the best poll for the Tories for a long while. Yet Labour is also up (but not by as much as the Tories).
A similar set of numbers in this poll, but a bigger Tory lead. Usual health warnings...
Third poll with similar numbers for Tories and the Brexit party, worse numbers for Labour, although this is a consistent feature of Yougov polls

1/ Here's an overview of the poor quality "research" carried out by the European "Research" Group in recent years, with some comments from me. I looked at nine different "research" papers. Fuller comments in this thread...
2/ The first two ERG papers I looked at included a superficial and inaccurate piece on trading on WTO terms.
3/ Another two ERG papers: including a problematic paper on Cameron's renegotiation (which I gave a mark to 😀👨‍🏫) and a rather simplistic piece for Grayling 🤡

1/ As promised, here's an overview of the appointment process and policy platform of the 13th Commission President.

(Not counting the non-canon ones like the pre-merger treaty ECSC and Euratom presidents, or the War President, who filled in between the 9th and 10th presidents)
2/ How are Commission presidents appointed?

Traditionally in the same way as the heads of other international bodies: by agreement of governments, sometimes after lots of grumpy backroom negotiations.

This even applies to the no-dealers' blessed WTO (gasp)
3/ Over time, the *elected* (cough) European Parliament was given a role in appointment of the Commission President, alongside *elected* (cough) governments. First consulted, then given a vote of approval, ie veto. Here's the current legal rule.

Deep Dive: #FTC Negotiating Multi-Billion Dollar Fine For Facebook’s Privacy Scandals; Violating 2011 Accord
#FacebookPrivacyScandal

activistpost.com/2019/02/ftc-ne…
The FTC’s probe of Facebook began in March of last year in response to big social’s entanglement with #CambridgeAnalytica, a political consultancy firm connected to a U.S. subsidiary (SHELL COMPANY) of a UK defense contractor #SCLGroup, (Strategic Communication Laboratories)
#SCL improperly accessed data on 87 million of the social site’s users. According to reports, #Facebook knew for an entire three years that #CambridgeAnalytica was abusing and misusing user data but did absolutely nothing.

@UCC_Official
UCC had opportunity to comment on the #Data.Protection & Privacy Bill. The enactment of this law is long overdue. A comprehensive law on the collection & processing personal information gives effect to the right to Privacy envisaged under Article 27(2) of the Constitution
UCC welcome the protections offered by the Bill in terms of export of data, breach notification requirements, data subjects access rights, automated decision making, compensation and the right to be forgotten and provision for financial and penal sanctions for breach of the law.
Distinction between Data collectors & data controllers.
The Bill should however clarify & distinguish Data Collectors, from Data Processors & Data Controllers. Clause 2 is inconsistent with international good practice which provides for two broad categories of Data Controllers

Goodbye to the rest of my day. Here are all of the Russian ads.
democrats-intelligence.house.gov/facebook-ads/s…
One of the first more successful/costly ads, from 2015. Posts promising "updates" (including one about the Charleston shooting) seem to perform better so far. Also notice targeting- Baltimore, Ferguson, and surrounding.
Nothing like some good old patriotism to generate some clicks 🇺🇸

Just like with RT's cat and tsunami videos, this page was looking to draw people in before delivering more divisive content...

Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
