The joint rubbishing of @carolecadwalla by #Marr & the #Brexit cheerleader Isabel Oakeshott is one of the most shocking things I've seen on TV.
Read Cadwalladr's superb investigative work & decide for yourself whether Vote Leave .EU & cheated. theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
.@CarolineLucas: "What these revelations show is that there is something rotten at the heart of our democracy...what I want to see is a proper investigation... it calls into the question the legitimacy of the EU referendum."m #Marr
.@CarolineLucas: calls for a #FinalSay: "It is not a second referendum - it's a first vote on the final deal...So many things were promised that have not come to pass" #Marr
What Isabel Oakeshott & #Marr are hoping is that revelations about criminal conspiracy during the #Brexit campaign are too complex for the public to understand.
Like saying "So there's this stuff about Watergate & Nixon using dirty tricks, but it's all a bit hard to follow."
1. So @AndyWigmore of Leave.EU tweets investigative journalist @CaroleCadwalla to let her know she’s been "tagged” in a tweet from Russia’s embassy in the UK. Let’s have a quick look at the background & semiotics of this… <THREAD>
2. Carole has done great investigative work into links between Leave.EU’s Brexit campaign & Russia. Many of the same actors were working for both #Brexit & Trump – the far-right hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, Cambridge Analytica… theguardian.com/technology/201…
3. Andy Wigmore accompanied Arron Banks to a 6-hr meeting at the Russian Embassy in 2015, invited by a man Banks assumed to be a Russian FSB officer. They gave Ambassador Yakovenko the “inside track” on Brexit. It is not known what was offered in return. buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/ma…
No-one should be receiving death threats, and hope the police track down the so-called "Real 48 per cent" who sent one to Andrea Leadsom. If so, I suspect they will not turn out to be who they claim to be.
Interesting so see that the extreme right wing is seizing on the letters from the so-called "Real 48 per cent" as a great opportunity to start a civil war. Almost as if they had been expecting it.
Interesting also that the author of thiis threatening tweet has himself been convicted of sending "grossly offensive and menacing" material to a woman eastwoodadvertiser.co.uk/news/eastwood-…
