Johnson has no money for women pensioners, but money was no object for his no deal Brexit preparation #BBCQuestionTime
Johnson avoided answering the question about Vote Leave's breach of election spending law #BBCQuestionTime
Also Johnson failed to answer this important question #BBCQuestionTime
Reminder about the Tory government's failure to build starter homes #BBCQuestionTime theguardian.com/society/2019/n…
If there's no evidence of Russian interference, why not release the report? #BBCQuestionTime
Weak answer from Johnson about his racist and homophobic remarks #BBCQuestionTime
Many other journalists have written millions of words without using this language
Who could @davidallengreen possibly be referring to? 😀
Johnson kept referring to his record as London mayor, but his record wasn't impressive #BBCQuestionTime

This account is purporting to tweet constituency polls. Most or all are fake. There have been only a few constituency polls. Notice that they don't mention the polling company. Be careful folks.
And another account tweeting non existent constituency polls
Looks like the first one tweeting non existent constituency polls is suspended. I suggest reporting the second one.

1/ Unlikely that the EU would ever agree that the EAW would *fully* apply to a non-EU country, since it would require some Member States to change their constitutions to allow their citizens to be extradited outside the EU.
2/ However, the EU might agree to a treaty on fast track extradition with a non-EU country, which contains most (though not all) of the features of the EAW. The precedent for that is the EU/Norway/Iceland extradition treaty, which has just entered into force.
3/ The political declaration already commits to negotiate a future treaty on fast track extradition with the UK along these lines. While the EU position is no negotiations on the future relationship before Brexit Day, the declaration might conceivably be fleshed out.

Surprise! Johnson is lying already and repeatedly about the impact of the proposal to raise the threshold for National Insurance contributions
He's at it again @OborneTweets

I mean, "£500 benefit in the first year" would mean that National Insurance contributions are payable at a rate of well over 50% 🙄
Johnson's falsehood on the effect of increasing the National Insurance contribution threshold in the first year rightly skewered here by @afneil

1) The F Word
so I've been banging on about this clip (and the thread on the next tweet) all day

Now there's been a lot of talk about #Brexit Fascism,and a lot of counter talk saying it's ridiculous

But let's examine the evidence, because it's pretty grim
2) in a few short weeks we've seen suspension of parliament, and a number of supposedly moderate Tories pretending it's not a shut down

We've seen a populist PM who is now utterly shameful about lying in Parliament and to the public

3) but already we are seeing serious talk about how the PM could actually break the law. And this is so normalised now that it's a reasonable question for MPs or interviewers to ask "well, will you or won't you obey the rule of law?"

This is incredible

1/ So Cabinet Sec Sedwill (in line to be Britains US Ambassador) attends frequent #Brexit war cabinet meeting with Cummings. An urgent Q for Sir Mark. What level of DV security vetting does Cummings, found in Contempt of Parliament have? Do levels for ALL SpAds need disclosing?
2/ Same question re Vote Leave's Matthew Elliott + Lynton Crosby. Undeclared funding + clients, how can they be vetted? Crosby advised Elliott on exit strategy in 2011 !! @SirBobKerslake @MarkDrakeford @thatginamiller @marcuschown @MayaGoodfellow @carolecadwalla @RCorbettMEP
3/ Elliott now in the Treasury, Crosby had a Svengali like hold over immature Boris + I imagine still pulling his strings.

Unfettered access. Absolute secrecy for too long. Like a toxic dripping tap. @marksedwill How is LC security cleared? Did he ever get his No 10 pass?

Support for ‘no deal’ Brexit is the pinnacle of Leave's descent into zealotry. The end result of refusing to plan

Like Trump, 'no deal' advocates have flooded the debate with “alternative facts”
It won't end well

THREAD! PLEASE RETWEET!

#Brexit #WTOBrexit #NoDealBrexit #SOS
The increased support for a ‘no deal’ Brexit is the ultimate failure of the Leave movement. It’s the inevitable consequence of the refusal to grasp details, come to terms with complexity & coalesce around a plan. Compromise can be frustrating. So instead they will have a tantrum.
Some Brexiteers advocated sensible solutions. The EFTA/EEA solution gained a lot of traction in the years before the ref. Even Farage had promoted it & countless others. See Farage below from 2011 essentially making the ‘Liberal Leave’ case!

If #Brexit has a constitutional doctrine then it is the sovereignty of the whim a Brexiters want what they want with no understanding of the consequences or feasiblity just like toddlers
In the immediate aftermath of the referendum a petition to demand a rerun received 4 million signatures it turned out it was a leaver who put the petition up as he thought leave would lose. He protested it wasn't supposed to be used by remainers
All Leavers are fond of saying you can't have a rerun just cos you don't like the result. Yet nigel Farage Dominic Raab and John Redwood all made clear they'd demand a 2nd ref in the event of a remain win sauce for the goose isn't sauce for the gander evidently

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...

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

theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
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/
