.@DominicRaab was on the Campaign Committee at Vote Leave. I assume he will be asked questions by the police due to the role he played. Why is he still in office? #Marr perpetuating doubt in democratic institutions by asking “Do you trust the EC?”. That shouldn’t be up for debate
But the fact that it has to be asked is so revolting. And his answers are ever more reflective of how far these people are willing to go to undermine our institutions. This ISNT a debate. This is the law vs. Politicians and people who broke the law or were complicit
Dominic Raab is basically arguing that it doesn’t matter if people break the law during an election. If you win, you win. Even if you cheated to get there. THESE are the people you want your children to look up to? To have as their leaders?

I tried saving you from this mess Darren, but you chose the side of criminals. The High Court decision confirmed that Vote Leave broke the law, too. No matter how much you spin it, the conclusion was the same. You were found guilty.
Come forward with the truth and you can save yourself from too much damage. Matthew will always have money, they’re going to leave you to rot when the police come after you. Don’t forget that.
This is a reminder to Britain that Steve Baker MP is the same MP who suggested Vote Leave ‘spend as much as money as is necessary’ during the referendum by creating ‘separate legal entities’. This is exactly what Vote Leave did. Vote Leave was found guilty for it. #criminals
.@patmcfaddenmp was the MP responsible for asking the police to investigate Steve Baker. He is now sitting in the office responsible for undertaking the Brexit process. Interesting. politicshome.com/news/uk/social…
1/ The LGBTQI community is rife with suicide. We're killing ourselves across the globe because our daily lives are riddled with despair, loneliness and hate. So here's some of my thoughts... #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
2/ I spent my childhood battling thoughts that almost drove me to the edge. Being gay in Pakistan was a daily struggle. Despite having people that loved me unconditionally I was fighting day and night with a debilitating heteronormative pressure.
3/ Moving to Britain helped a little, but it didn't absolve me of that struggle. In Pakistan I feared murder, my own self-hate and the wrath of colonial laws. Here, I was faced with an LGBTQ community that was riddled with racism.
1/ Someone asked me why I'm celebrating #Section377 as a Pakistani. It's because in a world that hates us, queer south asians have never had a voice. We face debilitating oppression from the outside world and from within our own communities. [THREAD]
2/ Our solidarity crosses borders
In India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, even among liberal families we are pressured into keeping our sexuality subdued and our opinions silent.
3/ We are pressured into accepting a way of life that isn't truly representative of who we are and what we believe in.
Today is a historic day for the LGBTQ community. The world’s largest democracy has decriminalised homosexuality. India, we love you. 💚 theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…
This is significant not just because of the size of India but because of how colonial laws have been the bedrock of Hindustan for a century. Out of all the countries that Britain invaded, its archaic laws and practises have affected India the most. Both economically & culturally.
Stripping itself of one of the most prominent of those laws and remnants of that awful time is a huge step not just for LGBTQ Indians, but all South Asians. Pakistan, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh included. Their time is coming and just thinking about it fills me up with joy.
This is Jeff Silvester of AIQ visiting Number 10 after he and Zack Massingham (CEO) were invited by Downing Street (and by the Conservative Party) last autumn. AIQ was created by Cambridge Analytica and worked with Vote Leave to break the law. This is why they outed me.
When this was brought to light @10DowningStreet responded that they did not know who had invited them and would investigated. They never followed up. I know, though. It was Theresa May’s most senior advisors who were looking at growing their digital output.
So if for a second you think that @theresa_may was absolved or not part of this entire scandal - I’m sorry to say but you are wrong. It was her closest allies who she has consistently defended that orchestrated Britain’s biggest electoral scandal in modern history.
