Giovannetti begins with a lone accurate statement addressing Lord Hughes. "You may consider you can't place... weight on [Charlie Rowley's] account [because his memory is very poor]," she says. 
It should be clear that this picture was not taken on the day the Skripals were poisoned because here they are wearing different clothes to those we see them wearing on CCTV from that day; Yulia's hair is also completely different in this photograph. 2/5
Urban was seemingly interviewing #Skripal for a book (ostensibly about the "Illegals Program" spies) *before* the poisoning. He was initially unwilling to admit this connection to Skripal, referring to "people who've met him" in his early reports. 2/7 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegals_…
Morris has already lied about atropine, the drug he reports was given to #Skripal "by accident". Morris once reported that Rowley was given a "nerve agent antidote" that had "never been used before", but later changed this to atropine, a common drug. 2/6
The chapter opens with the death of Dawn Sturgess, showing how deeply amoral and unprincipled Johnson is beneath his affable facade. He surely knows the public inquiry the Sturgess family have spent years fighting for will hide the truth from them. 2/18
When Dawn was taken to hospital on 30 July 2018 -- almost four months after the alleged poisoning of the #Skripals -- the family were initially told she had suffered a heart attack. This was reported in a Daily Mail article that was later deleted. 2/10 web.archive.org/web/2018070715…
Higgins opens with the #Skripals in hospital, "pumped full of atropine". Atropine is toxic and generally given in large doses only if organophosphate poisoning is diagnosed. Higgins omits that there was *no such early diagnosis* at the hospital. 
The plan was to use a third party to launder their lies into the press via client journalists. That way, if the lies were later exposed, the organised criminals calling themselves British intelligence would not be directly implicated. They soon found a candidate: Bellingcat. 2/8 
#CaroleCadwalladr has long been known to be associated with UK intelligence. Documents reveal her connection to the discredited 'Integrity Initiative', a project intended to build a network of client journalists to promote the establishment's agenda. 2/11
