#Newsnight digs up a clip of @David_Cameron (then PM) saying that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen".

Oops.

#Greensill
@David_Cameron .@campbellclaret on #Newsnight, saying that Johnson and his ministers regularly break all 7 of the #NolanPrinciples - and he finds it "scary" that no one seems, with this government, to care very much about those breaches of public standards, or to view them as scandals.
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret Prof Elizabeth David-Barrett says on #Newsnight that the matters around Cameron/Arcuri are not so much about rule-breaking as "declining [public] standards".

And she gives examples, including those around (lack of) transparency.

@JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject .@CharlesWalkerMP on #Newsnight - possibly a little milk-deprived - may be the only person in the UK coming out batting for Cameron, on the basis that 'a former PM's gotta have a life, and gotta be able to earn a crust'.

Astonishing tin-eared nonsense.
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject @CharlesWalkerMP .@vincecable says on #Newsnight that there is an accountability and transparency deficit at the heart of UK politics, and sets out why.

#Greensill #Arcuri #Cameron
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret @JolyonMaugham @GoodLawProject @CharlesWalkerMP @vincecable Here is @maitlis's monologue from #Newnight on public standards.

Clear, concise, compelling.

Always worth keeping an eye on the European press…

~ 'Conspiracy of silence': Why Brexit has been largely absent from UK election campaign ~

france24.com/en/europe/2024…
↑↑ "The word "Brexit" features only 12 times in the Conservative Party's 76-page manifesto and just once in Labour's 131-page programme."

~ 'Conspiracy of silence': Why Brexit has been largely absent from UK election campaign ~

france24.com/en/europe/2024…
↑↑ It's been spotted in the 🇫🇷, if not in the 🇬🇧, press:

"Rather ironically, the main parties' near-silence on Brexit during the campaign appears out of step with public opinion."

.@chhcalling Chris Heaton-Harris, @BBCr4today:

Husain: Do you think Brexit is working perfectly atm?

CHH: I think Brexit is working well for our country atm.

MH: Is it working as well as it could?

CHH: Everything could work better.

No wonder he's rarely let out of his cage.
.@chhcalling needs to be reminded - it's boring, but it does seem necessary for the hard of understanding -

… that loss of the Single Market and hence Freedom of Movement may have been his own Brexitomane preference, but,…

… » it was not inherent in the 2016Ref result «.

@sturdyAlex 1/2

Slow: not really noticeable, for me anyway.

Pic 1: ProtonVPN, Wireguard, local server, tested with nPerf. Pic 2: same, no VPN. (Upload and latency are better with VPN on this test!)

It may depend a bit on how fast your connection is. But you do say fibre-optic…!

@sturdyAlex 2/2

Price: there are offers. See . I use both ProtonVPN and NordVPN ($4.99 pcm and $3.39 pcm respectively).

I don't use the net without an always-on VPN.

One is much much safer with than without. See restoreprivacy.com/vpn/coupons-di…
restoreprivacy.com/vpn/
@sturdyAlex PS:

I'll just add this.

Without a VPN, your ISP sees all your surfing activity.

With a VPN, none: it's encrypted.

Any of: Proton, Nord, Surfshark, Express, Mullvad. See reviews on the site above.

Choose Wireguard as the protocol: it's blazingly fast.

.@mikegalsworthy @pimlicat @sturdyAlex

An idea.

Could these be produced in bulk, and offered out? (If you're not onto it already!)

And vice versa, also, for Con/Lab contests? Image
Not formally, though the parties. On the ground. Bottom-up, like.

.@darrenpjones

It is not "the will of the people" not to join the Single Market.

The polls show that you're wrong.

Even Justin Webb had to pick you up on this [07h47]. And you didn't answer his point.

Stop the gaslighting.

You're better than that, Mr Jones.

@RachelReevesMP
2/3

And Mr Jones, it comes to something indeed when a @UKLabour shadow minister starts using the old authoritarian populist "will of the people" claim to cover the fact that he and his party have no intention of engaging with what is blindingly obvious to all…
@UKLabour 3/3

… that joining the EU Single Market would…

- be welcomed by a plurality of the British people; and

- would be a big, fairly quick shot in the arm to the UK economy.

We have had enough of gaslighting and falsehood from the Tories, and •we do not expect it from you•.

.@RishiSunak @michaelgove

I take it that this, by biggest @Conservatives donor Frank Hester, would be caught by your new ’extremist’ definitions and policy?

And that you will be cutting links and returning all his donations?

@CassHorowitz @JMSellers93 @Richolden @oliverdowden Image
@RishiSunak @michaelgove @Conservatives @CassHorowitz @JMSellers93 @RicHolden @OliverDowden It gets worse.

Disown him, NOW.

@RishiSunak @michaelgove @Conservatives @CassHorowitz @JMSellers93 @RicHolden @OliverDowden @metpoliceuk

I am reporting Mr Hester to you [see thread above] for investigation into this as a Racist Hate Crime.
