Centrist. London. Pro EU. Rejoiner. Democracy is under threat, not only from the dictators & authoritarians that occupy the planet, but also from within existing democracies. Private power + wealth is being used to overturn & threaten our democracy.

There’s lots of stuff on Russian influence on the Leave campaign and their use of proxies, Banks, Wigmore, et al. Now there’s Gill. These are all mates of Farage but somehow Nigel was in the dark and knows nothing, pull the other one Farageski

Putin’s Brexit? The influence of Kremlin media & bots during the 2016 UK EU referendum.
The document investigates the significant influence of Russian state media and bots during the 2016 UK EU referendum, revealing that Russian media had nearly the same social media impact as the primary leave campaigns, primarily through outlets like RT and Sputnik. It estimates the value of Russian media interference at £1.4 to £4.1 million and indicates that Russian bots generated over 10 million potential Twitter impressions, highlighting their considerable role in shaping public opinion. The report raises concerns about the impact of autocratic regimes on democratic processes and calls for more transparency from social media platforms regarding content dissemination and advertising by foreign state-controlled media. - Download as a PDF, PPTX or view online for free

The United States is no longer providing any financial support for Ukraine according to Kiel's tracker - and has not been for a few months now (although I do wonder how one counts the intelligence support).

"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵
