BREAKING: Third Brexit whistleblower breaks cover. Ex-Vote Leave staffer says overspending was 'on industrial scale'
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
"I am clear that I did not direct the activities of any separate campaign groups," said Theresa May's political secretary, Stephen Parkinson, 3 weeks ago. May says she has "full confidence" in him. Which is lucky. Because it's not what the emails suggest.
This is fun bit. In March, @matthew_elliott submitted evidence to the High Court in response to a judicial review of the Electoral commission by @JolyonMaugham. Here's his witness statement...
This is @matthewelliot telling the high court that Vote Leave ran a completely distinct campaign to the totally separate and independent BeLeave campaign...
And here's the Facebook ad that Vote Leave's CEO @matthewelliott submitted to the high court to show exactly how 'distinct' BeLeave was. With an image that Vote Leave directors, Cleo Watson, commissioned. And Stephen Parkinson, oversaw. Who both now work for Theresa May.
Also, remember the Cabinet Office - part of the machinery of government - put out official statement. It outed @shahmiruk without his consent. And endorsed Stephen Parkinson's claim: "I am clear I did not direct the activities of any separate campaign groups"
And here's an extract from ex-Vote Leave staffer's submission to the Electoral Commission. Dom Cummings, Vote Leave's chief strategist, has called @chrisinsilico & @shahmiruk "charlatans & liars". This third whistleblower too? An inside eyewitness with long campaign experience?
