I see the Russian Embassy is trending. Wait till you find out what else it did.

theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
If that sounds facetious, it's not.
There's nothing that has come out about any of the oligarchs in the last week that hasn't been in plain sight for years.

Govt’s failure to understand exponential growth in March 2020 & its failure to act now are both catastrophic but with key difference.

‘Russia we know what you’re doing. And you will not succeed.’

This was Nov 17. The UK govt *did* know. And did nothing
This is how Russia responded. With a clear, overt threat. She specifically called out Russia’s illegal invasion of Crimea. And Russia invoked Crimea in response.

4 months later, Russia used a banned unconventional chemical weapon in heart of UK military establishment: Salisbury.
It may feel like March 2020. But it’s not. Nov 2017 was this crisis’s March 2020. That’s when exponential nature of threat from Russia was known.

Russia made itself clear. It signalled these threats publicly. Yet UK govt denied denied denied Russian had already attacked us

Wow. This is really interesting. Pressure being put on solicitors taking SLAPP suits esp if "aggressive & intimidating threats". Wider context of my lawsuit inc threats of violence & misogynist abuse. Solicitors' regulator suggests solicitors could be reported for "misconduct"
This is very significant! Here's the newly updated guidance from the Solicitors Regulatory Authority on SLAPPs.

I know that @skcoughtrie has been campaigning for this. And @liambyrnemp & @DavidDavisMP have been trying to get parliament to act. It's an important step forward
💥💥💥 ‘For example, cases in which the underlying intention is to stifle the reporting or the investigation of serious concerns of corruption or money laundering by using improper & abusive litigation tactics’ 💥💥💥

This twitter thread crystallised for me why Lebedev coverage today so frustrating.

Russian soldiers are killing women & children trying to flee.

And our prime minister's relationship with the son of an ex-KGB agent is deeply problematic.

AS WE HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS
1/
To be clear, @Gabriel_Pogrund's story in ST following up @pcaruanagalizia revelations is important.

A breakthrough moment.

But we have been trying to tell story not just of Lebedev but of Johnson's Russian links FOR YEARS

 thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-…
In July 2019, @nickhopkinsnews did pair of jaw dropping stories. Johnson had attended a NATO summit on sanctions post-Skripal.

He threw off security detail, flew to Italy & partied with Lebedev.

And then the photos turned up: Johnson, a hungover mess

NEW: Banning Facebook & criminalising journalism are not just the actions of a desperate man, they’re the equivalent of putting on a pair of bell-bottoms & dad-dancing across the internet.

Why I think Putin just lost the information war 👇

theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
I don’t know what’s going to happen next, no-one does. But the Kremlin’s reputation as invincible masters of information war has taken a beating. Putin’s blunt force command-&-control response v Zelensky’s social media mastery is like watching Stalin versus the TiKTok kids
And the Ukrainian war isn’t just playing out across social media. That same social media is impacting the progress of Ukrainian ground operations in real time. The open source #OSINT community is acting as a global battalion of armchair intelligence officers
