Requests to me for media interviews by BBC 1 or 2 or Radio 4 after:
@GoodLawProject won Wightman - 0
@GoodLawProject beat Vote Leave and the Electoral Commission - 0
@GoodLawProject beat Johnson - 0
Meanwhile @RobBurl has smeared me publicly and privately and the BBC has guests on who smear me on air or misrepresent the work I do through @GoodLawProject.

This is what the BBC has become.
I don't think the BBC is 'bad', many outstanding journalists work for it. But for some time senior figures have traded independence for access. And (I think) they now curry favour with Govt in return for access in a variety of ways, which diminish the BBC's value as journalism.
If you think this is about me I would direct you to the times I have vigorously criticised the BBC's coverage of Jeremy Corbyn (for whom I hold no brief to put it politely).

Here is the Government's Submissions on Remedy, just mentioned. 1 of 2
And 2 of 2.
I now understand that the Government is refusing to disclose these to the media. My understanding of the law is that once the submissions are mentioned in open court they can be disclosed. Neither my legal team, or another with whom I have checked, are aware that they were...

Ronan Lavery QC: "I need to tell you about my client. He is a victims campaigner, a defender of Ireland's very delicate constitutional settlement. But he didn't choose that career; his son was murdered."
Offered with some circumspection, but I hope the United Kingdom's Supreme Court listens carefully to what the constituent nations say is, for them, the relevant factual context within which the question before them arises.
This is *exceptionally* difficult territory. I'd gently offer that it's important to understand how much more acute is the problem the court is here considering - a lack of representation - in the nations whose interests are not being properly heard and respected in this process.

On All Out Politics in five minutes.

Meanwhile had fun with lovely make-up artist:

"When you started out, all those years ago, did you imagine you'd spend your life working on tired grey men?"

*uncontrollable giggles*
Have had to leave. Need to be in the Supreme Court, as I explained to them yesterday.
They were very apologetic - it will be rescheduled.

UNHOLY MINORITY LEXITER COALITION OF THE FAR LEFT AND FAR RIGHT
This post originally shared 12 months and Labour continue to flip-flops a year later. Labour is now an uninhabitable potting shed in the weed-infested corner of some ,soon-to-be-sold-off Parliamentary allotment. /1
Corbyn has thus lined up alongside an otherwise insecure Farage to prop up Brexit and Alex B. de Pfeffel Johnson and his band of electoral pirates and fraudsters. Tory High Command anoint their latest PM by pumping Facebook full of Johnson ads /2
an astonishing 554 versions of these things. Almost as if they're gathering data to rig an election using social media

“In 12/18, So African intel officials confirmed to me that Banks, who owns diamond mines, had been the subject of two investigations by the Hawks....” (Hawks being, So African version of FBI).
Further, An American lawyer with knowledge of the Mueller investigation, says BOTH, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks are persons of interest in that inquiry. (First I’m reading of Banks being a POI - anyone have info/link on that? 🤔)

I have been rebutting the case for a so-called “People’s Vote” on Twitter for some time and thought it might be useful to draw the points together in a single thread.
#PeoplesVote
First, the name. It’s dumb. What they really mean is, a second vote because we lost the first one. We had a people’s vote already. Who do they think voted last time, fridge magnets?
Anyway… the so-called People’s Vote campaign doesn’t really want another vote - it wants another answer. It is entirely about seeking to stop Brexit.

The BBC has released an official statement: "Panorama asked for access to all the evidence, but that was not forthcoming." This is not true. Panorama had access to exactly the same underlying evidence as the Observer, the @nytimes & subsequently @Channel4News.
They were walked through 2 folders of evidence by a leading QC. It's the same evidence was given to the Electoral Commission. Who has - we know now - found Vote Leave guilty in its preliminary report.
It's astonishing that BBC is seeking to defend this. If it was left up to the BBC, we still would not know the truth about Cambridge Analytica & Facebook! How can it defend that??

.@stephen501 is another #leave voter who wishes he had the chance to vote again now the facts of what #brexit means are becoming clear. Good on you for coming forward Stephen, you are one of millions, just need others to show the same humility! #remainernow #finalsay #fbpe
Here is more from Stephen following his visit to Germany. Highlights the ideologues lies that EU will give us a good deal as they need us more than we need them.
Here is another tweet from #remainernow @stephen501 after he regretted his leave vote he wrote to his MP. Hopefully he can also help persuade other leave voters he knows to do the same now #brexitreality is hitting!
