The campaign to get Tom Watson to resign because he defended Jews against anti-semites within the Labour Party is shameful. But there is more to it than meets the eye, and it tells us how these social media campaigns are often manipulated by outside forces /THREAD
The Alliance for Securing Democracy tracks Russian linked social media accounts, and they've found that #resignwatson is the TOP TRENDING hashtag among RUSSIAN-RELATED agitation accounts - a 6700% increase in activity in 48 hours!

On Friday, the same Russian accounts were promoting the #WeAreCorbyn hashtag. What is going on here? Why is Corbyn being promoted by the Russians, who have supported Trump and have supported Brexit also.
Just joined @UKLabour because you're sick and tired of a good man being maligned? Welcome! Here's a thread with a few tips from someone 3 years in. I'm fresh enough to remember being a newbie, but enough experience to pass on: #socialistsunday #wearecorbyn
6. Get to know who your MP is, and elected representatives, so: councillors, AM's in Wales, MSP's in Scotland. You'll be meeting these people, more than likely, at CLP. Be measured if you disagree with them online, especially before meeting them!
7. Go to a CLP meeting. The CLP organises the party in your area, including selecting candidates and sending delegates to conference. The meeting will be run by a Chair, assisted by a Secretary, Treasurer and other elected volunteers. Use your first few meetings to learn.
Quick thread about a small set of bots I ran into this morning. Every once in a while I randomly check the @SecureDemocracy dashboard it's usually the same things. Today #WeAreCorbyn popped up. Figured I would check it out. #Botspot #Russia #KremlinTrolls
Tweeting this kinda as I go.
1st thing pull data on the hashtag.
visual studio code, python, and tweepy.
I only pulled about 40k tweets, not that many.

next step is to crack open that .csv file and remove all the duplicate accounts leaving only one row per account.
Then start sorting. IF there is a pattern you will notice it almost immediately.
Here 16 accounts show up with the same stats, sorted by tweet source. Bots.

Let’s just step back and examine what the @UKLabour #Antisemitism row is all about.
@jeremycorbyn ‘s groupies last night organised mass love-in for their idol. This was a feel-good diversion from the 💩storm of examples of his intolerance n antisemitism over the last weeks. 1/10

But @jeremycorbyn won’t get out of responsibility for his nastiness. He is a very unpleasant man.
On Holocaust Memorial Day 2010 he organised an event including a Holocaust survivor, designed to attack Israel using the Holocaust. Disgusting. amp.theguardian.com/politics/2018/… 2/10

The Press say that he apologised.
It was a non-apology. In fact, @JeremyCorbyn has apologised for "concerns and anxiety" caused by him chairing a House of Commons event at which Israel was compared to the Nazis.
No, just sorry we’re upset. He’d do it again. *Not* sorry.
