The electoral event of 23 June 2016 will be etched onto public consciousness for decades. In a quiz show, you certainly wouldn’t need to phone a friend. Whereas 5 May 2011 would be the final question to win £1m.
Not able to guess it?
It's 9 years since the AV referendum (1/19)
As @NO2AV's campaign director, I was delighted when @nick_clegg’s proposal to change the voting system for future General Elections was rejected by 68% to 32% - especially since the public had been 2:1 in favour of AV at the start of the campaign (2/19) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@SkyNewsBreak Today's decision by the ICO is very disappointing. Ever since the conspiracy theories about Vote Leave's use of data first emerged, we have been in correspondence with the ICO. Over the course of nearly 50 letters we have successfully rebutted all the various myths being peddled.
@SkyNewsBreak Last autumn, the ICO wrote to us about the 196,154 text messages VL sent during the campaign. 19 people made complaints and the ICO had sat on them for over two years. They have given us no explanation about why they took so long to approach us about these complaints.

Very sensible article today by former Remain supporter @GregHands, who says he is “concerned at the continued attempts to refight the referendum and put the Leave campaigns in the dock” & says “we should all unite around getting the best deal for Britain” telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
This is a welcome contrast to the DCMS ctte’s report which says “the precise nature of the co-ordination between the different organisations and campaigns should be investigated further". This selectively ignores FB’s and ICO’s evidence (unless they wish to investigate Remain)

Story re Vote Leave/BeLeave ads is wrong. The ads were never requested by VL/BL & never ran. That's why they're in the 0-999 impressions box. Actual number was zero. Both Facebook (link, p3) and AIQ (attached) said this to the DCMS select committee in May parliament.uk/documents/comm…
Incidentally, I've been told that the DCMS select committee refused to publish AIQ's letter, so it's yet another example of a group of people conducting an "impartial investigation" but only listening to one side of the story... #DueProcess
