Good morning.

Without wishing necessarily to perpetuate conversation...

A non-comprehensive list of evidence which, cumulatively, tends strongly to suggest BBC pro-Brexit bias ⤵.

Have a great Monday!
And, just up, on the Oakeshott point I made...

It seems she knew about the link between CA and Arron Banks all along.

The screenshots are from Conservative Home, at bit.ly/2pDq7Qa, now archived (!) at bit.ly/2pGvOgh.

And, as if by magic, here is James O'Brien, today, on "Media impartiality is a problem when ignorance is given the same weight as expertise".

1/6 A few random and personal reflections on last night in the House of Commons...
2/6 As the ERG amendments went through, passed by 3 votes, against the interests of the people of the UK, I found myself getting steadily more and more irate.
3/6 Where were @timfarron and @vincecable? Why was @UKLabour not more vocal? Why was @sarahwollaston saying she would not vote for early recess - but not precisely saying she would vote against?

I take it you will be taking an urgent opportunity to distance yourself from this wholly scurrilous attack on Dominic Grieve?
@patel4witham .@patel4witham

And here's a screengrab of it, for your records.
@patel4witham And so what has @patel4witham done, in response to my tweet?

She has blocked me.

“We have our six tests. If you hold up blah, blah, blah, to six tests, you’ll probably pass it.”

(bit.ly/2J2KMWD)

Only if you are *casual* about being the Opposition.

Is this formal @UKLabour policy now?

➡You really don't want my vote, do you?⬅
.@EmilyThornberry

You already *know* that test 2 can never be met - EXACT same benefits - so what is this nonsense all about, please?

@Keir_Starmer
.@EmilyThornberry

Either you mean exactly this, and you have gone off the reservation.

Or @UKLabour
policy has changed overnight.

Or you've been partially or mis-reported.

Can you clarify?

Good morning. Today seems like a good day to tell you about my conversation with a brexiter, that I had a few weeks ago.
That day I was told to my face that #brexit means they can finally switch out all those EU migrants with better foreigners. /1
This person knew that I am one of "all those EU migrants". And while I've been told way too many times to count that I should "go home" or "go back where you came from", being told that I can and indeed will be "switched out" for something better was a new one to me. /2
There has been a shift, a reframing going on for a while. Back in the early #brexit days, any foreigner was bad. Then followed the phase of bad EU migrants (e.g. "those Poles! Those Bulgarians!"...) and good ones ("we don't mean you!, You'll be fine"). /3

1) "Parliament follows" - a #Brexit story
Been engaged in a long thread with @0Calamity and others with the common Corbynite theme:
"But what can Corbyn do? He's not in power"
For a "popular movement" there seems to be a lack of awareness of how they work.
So, what *can* he do?
2) well firstly we need to recognize two fairly obvious things.
a) unfortunately, 80% of our current MPs are, well, sheep. They follow, especially public opinion, they don't lead
b) the prerequisite for stopping Brexit is public opinion. This *must* be shifted or it won't stick
3) this is when Corbynistas chime in & say "look at the polls,enough people haven't shifted, if Corbyn opposed Brexit it would be political suicide"

Putting to one side the "party before country" bias which is obvious to any non Labour supporter, isn't this what Labour is about?

1) thread on the "missing anti-brexit surge"
It's fair to say that there is only a small (though significant) movement towards "remain" & against #Brexit, leading some to say that a #PeoplesVote might lead to the same result
But let's look at where we are

prospectmagazine.co.uk//blogs/peter-k…
2) the press is still largely pro #Brexit. The BBC has, in the name of balance, been at best hopeless in holding brexiters to account for previous statements and more importantly, both major parties are still pretending their Brexit will be OK
There's no major voice against it
3) and yet, despite the lack of any major voice exposing the reality of #Brexit, the message is still getting through about what a screw up Brexit really is.

There's consistent polls showing a majority who think Brexit is going badly, and a lack of faith in government handling

Once again the @frontlineclub is packed with journalists, @Byline_Media folk, and TV cameras for the latest revelations in the Cambridge Analytica / Trump / Brexit saga from two whistleblowers.

Follow this thread for live-tweeting coverage, and forgive my typos...
... first thing to note is that security has been increased a level or two since last week’s gathering. Two checkpoints against the guest list, and a minder scanning the room.

We’re about to kick off...
... the focus of attention tonight is Shahmir Sanni, joined again by @chrisinsilico who was the focus last week. @carolecadwalla will be joining later when she’s filed at the @guardian
Chris is carrying a large ring binder of documents...

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
