Look what cropped up tonight following a lead from @ActMeasuresDoc . This is how Cummings found AiQ and,no doubt Leave EU SCL.

Cummings worked with an ex Director of SCL Elections Ltd for 3 years over the Business for Sterling Campaign.
Interesting to see who was behind Business for Sterling.

Our old mate Rocco Forte.

Lord Hanson (who has proved to be of a lot of interest tonight )

Lord Edwardes

independent.co.uk/news/business/…
This suggests he started working on the Business for a Sterling Campaign in 2001 (when did his Russian sortée end?

I had no idea he went in to become head of strategy for the Conservative Party in 2002

Then went on to work for something rather curious yet familiar.

April 1st 2005

New Frontiers Foundation US Hertigae Foundation - EU - Trade- WTO.

Well well

neilherron.blogspot.com/2005/04/new-fr…
Then his brother in law, James Humphrey Wakefield, was a Director of the Firtash Foundation at the same time as Anthony Fisher (brother to Rachel Whetstone, I think) 2008-2013. (@libdemfightbac might have some more in that).
The same Fisher who worked (through his Curzon Strategy) with Bell Pottinger.

And with Shetler-Jones on the Scythian Ltd and Scythian Ventures LLP (Firtash?)

Small world, no?

Quite a lot of other stuff tonight as well.

See this explanatory thread from @GeorgePeretzQC on the steps MPs should take when the Gov asks them to approve a Johnson Agreement.

HOWEVER remember the Benn Act requires them to approve “a Concluded Agreement under A50(2)”
It’s very improbable that such a doc will be completed
My estimation is that it is impossible for such a new WA is completed by 19th given the processes that have to be undertaken by the EU (inc translations into 26 languages).

Unless he reintroduces May’s WA in full

Happy for @GeorgePeretzQC @JolyonMaugham et al to correct me
3/. A reminder within @GeorgePeretzQC thread of the importance of also seeing the accompanying legislation necessary for ratification and implementation. This has, thus far, been kept hidden even for consultation.

I think that is abusive & grossly negligent

@ChrisGiles_

Could I ask a question that I know is being asked by others, on reading this by @anandMenon1 (remembering we are not economists). Did you reach your Johnson modelling of - £2250 PA per person by adding together 3/ and 4/ below :-
Income plus productivity losses?
2/. @ChrisGiles_

I am not clear whether 5/ in @anandMenon1 calculations were also taken into account (migration impact).
3/. @ChrisGiles_

ALSO is this the cumulative loss over 10-15 years. I.E. it starts off smaller (how small?) and gradually expands so that in 10-15 years this is what the gap between what our income would have been with EU membership and Johnson’s model.

A “Remain Alliance” should be guided by 3 principles
“An alliance built on these principles could have a seismic effect on British politics. It could stop Johnson dead in his tracks. With luck, it will make him run scared of an election in the first place” prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/any-r…
“Provided the Cummings plot to crash out before an election is stopped, the prime minister may decide his least bad option is to ask the people what they want in a referendum.”

PRINCIPAL 1. “DO NO HARM”
PRINCIPLE 2. THINK BIG.

Every seat where Labour or Tories do not support Remain should be fought wholeheartedly.

We can help one another when there is a single candidate thus maximising resources.

EU leaders pretty convinced they will soon by faced with Boris Johnson as new UK PM and opinion is split /1
Talk to different EU diplomats and politicians from different EU countries and you’ll get a number of different opinions as to how #Brexit will play out in the autumn /2
Some see BJ as one of the key architects of the Leave vote and therefore one of the few UK politicians able to sell a compromise deal with the EU to Parliament /3

EU leaders PM speaking to today have little expectation of a breakthrough in the cross-party talks with Jeremy Corbyn ahead of emergency #Brexit summit on Wednesday /1
EU leaders think it good idea to be in contact already now. PM doesn't have a good track record of performing 'on the night' at summits. She just spoke to Dutch PM Rutte. They'll talk again Weds morning before summit starts. Translation: No room for any more misunderstandings /2
EU leaders must come to unanimous conclusion on PM's extension request. But countries are divided. So Belgian PM has asked inner core of Most Affected Nations (affected by #Brexit ) eg Germany France, Netherlands to meet just before summit. An attempt to iron out differences /3

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica appears to have used a Canadian company, AggregateIQ #AIQ, to cheat UK election laws to steal the #Brexit vote‼️ 1/

Vote Leave was the *official* #Brexit campaign, run by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.🤔

Right before the election, Vote Leave donated a total of £675,315 in 4 donations over 8 days to BeLeave, a political org set up by two 21-something yo’s who worked for Vote Leave.🤨 2/
Quick digression on UK campaign finance law before adding to the story.🤓

The SPENDING limit for Vote Leave (official campaign group) was £7m. Separate campaigns (such as BeLeave) could spend up to £700,000 each, but CANNOT coordinate or “work together”.🤨 3/
