⚠️⚠️⚠️And there it is⚠️⚠️⚠️

In black & fucking white.

A legal contract with Donald Trump

'AggregateIQ - IN PARTNERSHIP WITH - Cambridge Analytica'

2 companies

Operating together as ***1 legal entity***

'Aggregate IQ in partnership with Cambridge Analytica' Image
From Brittany's new data dump. I really didn't mean to look tonight...but my god.

For the Brits: incontrovertible evidence AIQ - firm at heart of Brexit contracted by Cummings - was operating as single legal entity with Cambridge Analytica

(Previously: denied, denied, denied) Image
For the Americans: Cambridge Analytica started working for Trump in Sept, 2015

This contract dates from 11 months before it was announced that Cambridge Analytica was working for the Trump campaign.

And overlaps with period when Cambridge Analytica was working for Ted Cruz Image
And look who's the man at the centre of it all: Cambridge Analytica's final CEO, Julian Wheatland. It's his private company Hatton International that's the lynchpin here - the prime contractor. Image

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what??

Today @nerve_news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson.
1/
Christopher Harborne's £5m gift to Farage is now the subject of a parliamentary inquiry.

But our latest story in #HarborneReceipts raises incredibly serious qs including...did Boris Johnson give Harborne classified defence info he then profited from?
2/

thenerve.news/p/boris-johnso…
In early 2022, Harborne switched his donations to the Tories giving first £500k then on May 6, another £500k.

It wasn't his only transaction that day. UK defence firm, QinetiQ 3% issued a notice that he now owned 3%.

The next day, he spent hours with Johnson at Chequers.

Bravo to the @Gabriel_Pogrund & team. This is the story in plain sight that needed to be nailed. Congrats are in order for getting it over a difficult line.

George Cottrell has operated with impunity at highest levels of UK politics for more than a decade
1/
Sun Times story is the gamechanger we need. But this is a decade-long story that was ignored by papers like Sun Times - as was Farage - for years. Because…Brexit.

Cottrell was central in both Brexit & building Brexit Party in years after
2/
And remember this. It was Cottrell’s indictment that Wigmore emailed across to his contact at the Russian Embassy. No good explanation for that.

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal.

New #HarborneReceipts investigation from @thenerve_news
1/
Johnson is now in the frame for breaching for the same parliamentary rules as Farage by accepting a gift from the same donor.

Report for @TheNewsAgents from me & @CharlieNotOld
2/
thenerve.news/p/harborne-rec…
Harborne provided his private jet & pilot to Johnson in Jan 2023, after he’d resigned as PM but when still an MP.

There is no record of the gift in Johnson’s Register of Members Interests.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! WtafImage
It’s an amazing report which nails how Russia’s hybrid warfare programme actually works & how Russia is explicitly & directly inciting racialised violence in UK - & working with Tommy Robinson to do so - as well as directing acts of violence
against PM.
2/
The stakes couldn’t be any higher. And I was already gripped by the incredible detail of what BBC uncovered - & which apparently Met police had missed - when Sergei Nalobin suddenly enters the chat..as a tutor to the guy who directed entire UK sabotage operation. Image

NEW: The Crypto Connection. @thenerve_news brings you…Part 1 of The Harbourne Receipts.

A forensic examination of the cryptobillionaire’s donations & Nigel Farage’s crypto announcements.

And guess what? There’s a pattern. Starting with the now infamous £5m gift.

By @charlienotold & @LuciaOC_
1/Image
Nigel Farage’s crypto enthusiasm took off 2 months after Harbourne’s £5m gift…& escalated from there.

And in lockstep with an increasing number of donations from crypto billionaire Harbourne.

But that’s not all…
2/

thenerve.news/p/investigatio…
The Nerve’s @CharlieNotOld then went back & examined Harbourne’s donations to Boris Johnson…& guess what?!

It’s the exact same pattern as Farage.

Harbourne’s crypto donations immediately preceded Johnson’s crypto policy announcements.

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door.

A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption.
1/

Link ⬇️
Palantir recruited the two most senior AI strategists from the Ministry of Defence & NHS…& won multimillion £ contracts with both, a pattern repeated across the UK govt.
2/

thenerve.news/p/palantir-rev…
The Palantir pipeline also includes 4 members of the House of Lords, the ex head of MI6, 2 generals & a former chief adviser to the PM.
