Feral gang around Dominic Cummings pumping out smears and deceit - @OborneTweets in coruscating form on #C4News speaking about his cogently argued piece for opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…

Hasn’t it always been thus? @krishgm asks Oborne. No completely different scale and nature since Cummings and Vote Leave took up residence in No 10 . Now @bbclaurak and @Peston - Krish gets jumpy at names- and pumping out Cummings’s fake news unmediated. Not doing job as editors

Oborne really hits stride . Tells the story of how @ShippersUnbound became complicit in facilitating Cummings’s smear of Amber Rudd . Accused by an anonymous No 10 source of lying about access to legal advice

@Oborntweets goes on to the sample of @bbclaurak and @Peston egregious complicity in the prominence they gave to Cummings’s alternative reality which he constructed to superimpose over the legal one after Supreme Court decision

Which had its denouement in the great legal loophole wheeze : the unsigned letter , requesting the extension

That was it ⁉️ Dom’s big legal idea

Oborne has given us stellar example of journalism as public service . Holding power to account.

Drawn on shrewd commentary provided by @davidallengreen

As Oborne shows some have misguidely fallen into trap of acting as ‘sewers’ not journos

Time to shine light on #DomSpin

Laying out truth about Cummings’s role as No 10 Source in pumping out deceit and fake news is not the only monumentally important journalistic service Oborne has done recently

His visit to the Border was moving and full of insight . Well worth watching
