this was Brexit Alex Phillips' gang, @campbellclaret was right to cast this up on her given she's a Faragist
even if she's right to say she wasn't in with Johnson's Vote Leave £350M for the NHS lot

pack of lies

#Newsnight
Alex Phillips was a Brexit Party MEP for half a year in 2019 but before that she worked for disgraced data mining and campaigns consultancy Cambridge Analytica during a controversial Kenyan presidential election (in 2017)

TIL that in February 2023, Alex Phillips joined Reform UK (successor to the Brexit Party) as a policy adviser to party leader Richard Tice

#Newsnight ImageImageImage
So, Brexit Alex deserves upbraiding for denying her willing part in helping Farage & co wreck Britain & trying to claim "That's not my Brexit" 🙄
but Campbell wasn't right to chastise Vic Derbyshire for the Tory-throttled BBC
good to see apology
#Newsnight
there is no possible form of Brexit at this point in history that does not harm the people & prospects of Britain

that's not what most people voted Leave for

we needed change but not for the worse

so many people conned by these Brexiter charlatans & rotten Tories

#Newsnight
Alex Phillips spoke on #Newsnight to @campbellclaret and @vicderbyshire about a Brexit elephant in the room and she's right about that - same as it ever was image of an elephant with &...image of an elephant with &...image of an elephant with &...image of an elephant with &...
Alex Phillips was MEP from 02.07.2019 - 31.01.2020, for The Brexit Party

6 months only

02.08.2019 she was announced as PPC for Southampton Itchen & involved in GE2019 campaign

no wonder she didn't see much scrutiny

her MEP record page is here: europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/99461/…
What set me off? This #Newsnight confrontation between Alastair Campbell and Brexit Alex Phillips

I see Piers Morgan is going for the "I was an incompetent editor who didn't know what was happening" defence at the Daily Mirror over the turn of the century,

rather than admitting complicity with his journalists hacking phones & harassing Prince Harry
well, I mean, I see from the news & the BBC interview that he's trying to shirk responsibility for the tabloid attack on Harry on his watch

Can't see his reaction on Twitter as like so many people I'm blocked by Piers Morgan for calling him out

Image
But there is witness evidence that Piers Morgan knew of phone hacking when at the Mirror

Today is Truth Tellers - the 1st Sir Harry Evans Global Summit in Investigative Journalism
set up by @TinaBrownLM in memory of her late husband, a manc lad who made it in NY & who many consider to be the best editor of the post-war period

#SirHarrySummit
You can hear Tina Brown talking about the inaugural Sir Harry Evans Global Summit in Investigative Journalism "Championing the work of today’s most dogged and diverse truth tellers"
on #R4Today



#SirHarrySummit #TruthTellers
If you don't know who Harold Evans was, there's a good obituary here taking you from his working-class roots through becoming a victim of the Thatcher-Murdoch pact that derailed his career as canny & respected editor of the Sunday Times

I know it's tempting, but 🙏 don't spam up the Inquiry into how Boris Johnson misled the House about #Partygate

Stick to the facts, which are clear.

He bloody did lie.
Trouble is he's so used to getting away with it.
Hopefully the greased piglet will finally get stuck fast

Feeling quite sorry for the Kenyan guy who didn't get the joke and is now catching a lot of occasionally quite nasty corrective flak which is swamping my mentions.
People do love to correct others, and nobody just likes what's already been said about it

Btw that was a real hoodie in 2014, but I never worked out if it was a good joke or just bad grammar
