🔍 Here's a photograph of the Chairman of the board of SCL Group, which The Times and The Guardian have reported as being the 'parent company' of Cambridge Analytica, campaigning alongside former Tory leader David Cameron. #PMQs A photograph of the Chairman of the board of SCL Group, which The Times and The Guardian have reported as being the 'parent company' of Cambridge Analytica, campaigning alongside David Cameron.
Robert Gabb, a director of SCL Group, has donated £717,950.00 to the Tory party. #PMQs Robert Gabb's donations to the Tory party.
The MOD appears to have used the services of SCL Group according to this FOI request. This is why Theresa May used the word 'currently' in her reply to @IanBlackfordMP's question.
SCL Group appears to have deleted this page from their website. May 2017: SCL Group list UK Ministry of Defence as a client.March 2018: Page not found.

📈 Not only have @theSNP been consistent in their position on Brexit, its been a steady hand navigating the Scottish economy through rolling seas of Brexit. This can often be lost in the heat of the Brexit debate.

📰 Here's some of today's good news.
🏠 8,767 homes delivered for the year to September 2018

🏘 A total of 80,104 affordable homes have been provided since 2007

👩‍💼 Per head of population, 50% more affordable homes and more than five times as many social rented properties in Scotland than in England since 2014
👩‍🏫 Teacher numbers are now the highest since 2010 while achievement in primary schools is increasing. The number of working full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers rose by 447 to 51,959 in 2018.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 With the front page of today's @ScotNational in mind, by sheer coincidence, I bought a book last week called 'Addresses Against Incorporating Union 1706-1707'. The book cover.
Apparently, Glasgow was divided on the Union and it 'stimulated unusual levels of protest'. It also states that 'strong anti-union sentiment' was found amongst Glasgow artisans.
The artisans demonstrated literacy and political engagement by attaching papers reading 'No incorporating union' to their hats.

Trump brushed off the horrifying murder of Khashoggi, blithely claiming that the MbS “vehemently denied” any role in the killing.

Trump again contradicts the CIA, which has determined that CP MbS did order the assassination, carried out by Saudi agents.

This is utterly embarrassing from Ruth Davidson. She is clutching at straws, attempting to distract from the numerous links between her party & Cambridge Analytica #FMQs
SNP has never worked with Cambridge Analytica. An external consultant had one meeting in London & judged them to be 'a bunch of cowboys', which turned out to be true. Normal practice for parties to hear pitches for work (see former CA CEO stating this in February)
So what about the Tories? Well, Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) - the reported parent company of Cambridge Analytica - has been run by a former chairman of Oxford Conservative Association ft.com/content/29a2d5…

1/ Summer 2015: George Papadopoulos co-authored a paper that "advocates for offshore gas drilling and calls for an industry-friendly financial scheme in the concessions process."

This offshore drilling benefits energy companies such as Noble Energy.

2/ Recently, this happened.

"Houston-based Noble Energy Inc. announced this week that it signed two 10-year deals to sell natural gas from offshore Israel to Egypt-based Dolphinus Holdings Ltd."

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach
Whistleblower describes how firm linked to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon compiled user data to target American voters  theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.

1/ Starting thread over. This thread will analyze Mueller grand jury matters known to the public. It will be gradually completed as facts are made available.
2/ Here is the DOJ manual guidance for issuance of subpoenas to grand jury targets. Because targets have due process and other substantive rights, care is taken to ensure a target’s rights are not abused.
3/ Criminal charges are not required to initiate impeachment, but can be used to support impeachment:
