A few tech notes on the Boris WhatsApp story (TLDR It's VERY hard to get the messages without the pin)

There's a lot of jokes around "my teenager/corner shop could do it in 10mins", but it's not true. Here's why 🧵 Both Android and iPhones are very hard, near impossible, to get into. Boris had an iPhone, so let's focus on those.

You CAN unlock an iPhone by connecting it to your own iTunes account on a computer, but that wipes the phone. We need the messages off this phone.

It wasn't us that changed the name, it was the poor owners of the house says Anglesey Homes Limited, even though the original tweet said us.

So who is this owner of the house? Who changed the name, who are Anglesey Homes Limited passing the buck to?

When the Welsh Secretary Simon Hart makes all these decisions affecting Wales, whose interest do you think he considers?

His constituents? The people of Wales?

Or the Ukranian Oil and Gas man who has given him more than £40k in recent years? Maybe the London based American hedge fund manager who donated £25k?

Or the London property developer who donated £7k?

Maybe it's the "Landsker Business Club" who gave £23k but who don't seem to have any online presence except in Simon's financial declarations?

Thread: This fuss with the two Neils (Hamilton and McEvoy) has gotten me all confused this weekend as it just made no sense. So, with @neiljmcevoy helpfully releasing a few emails tonight, lets see what we can work out by looking at what's in them and in the public record.
