In November 2017, @borisjohnson told parliament that there was "not a sausage" of evidence of Russian interference in UK politics. I don't think that's true. Economical with the truth? A deliberate lie? My talk from @The_Convention_ earlier this week..

āWe need another vote (...) because itās democracy. That vote has to be held to account (...). We need to understand whatās happened with dark money so it doesnāt happen again. We have to have more democracy, not lessā @maryftz of @openDemocracy at The Convention #NeverAgain
Integrity. Truth. Empathy. These are cornerstones of democracy.
We must restore faith in institutions. Social media firms must invest more of their huge profits on fact-checking. We must prevent polarisation & start listening! @The_Convention_ #NeverAgain https://t.co/bnKtmYpvYg
Thank you to everyone that came. I hope you left a little more aware of how deep and nuanced this fight is. Big thank you to @The_Convention_ & @BylineTimes for having me. Iām not sorry for disrupting the panel after mine. If you see hypocrisy, you gotta stand up against it!

āPolitics never looked so messy and so dangerous, and yet there has never been so much hope in the same timeā ā¦@paulhilderā© #NeverAgain
There are issue campaigns now, not national political campaigns @jonathansebire
Now on Group discussion. Subversion by social media.
Seriously freaky short film beforehand showing the fake info ads ā¹
@The_Convention_
#NeverAgain
Social media campaigns are honing in on an emotive issue, with the aim that you become so angry that you don't want to engage in the process at all...leaving a smaller group of people making the decisions and therefore easier to influence @jonathansebire
social media has no borders, there are no national borders anymore...threats have also become campaign tactic. They have an impact and they are deniable @jonathansebire
Such an impressive/ terrifying talk with @carolecadwalla @shahmiruk on the perils and subversion of social media in politics @The_Convention_
We think Brexit is about the UK but the same forces are happening all over the world: itās a global phenomenon: @jeremycorbyn was out protesting against Trump but he wonāt stand against Brexit. When will he see the 2 are connected? @carolecadwalla @The_Convention_ #NeverAgain
