That’s why Musk and Thiel are pushing this hard financially.
JD Vance is their man.
Trump gets the win, out in 12 months because of his mental health issues (which will also be used as defence for everything)
And Vance takes over.
(I predicted Trumps cognitive health and defence years ago)

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine.
There were no other consequences.

My unpopular opinion is that we don't really know any more about foreign accounts manipulating U.S. politics on Twitter than we did before this update. There's no way of knowing who specifically used a VPN and who didn't. It's obvious that this is a problem but we don't have better data on it now.

In all the BBC reporting of Gibb no mention of his GB News role. The debate re his political influence was purely centred round his advisory role to May, but surely his GBNews connection is much more indicative of his standpoint.
