JOIN THE DEBATE
. @BylineTimes editor @Hardeep_Matharu is chairing two panels at @BylineFest based on 2 of her recent articles: ‘Brexit and Empire’ w/ @afuahirsch, @shahmiruk and Lord Victor Adebowale and also: ‘Myth and Taboo- Can Integration Ever Solve Racism‘ w/ Bonnie Greer & Naz Shah
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..

At The Convention on Tuesday 2/2 @soniapurnell on Boris Johnson: someone who doesn't care, who doesn't believe in consensus, someone who distorts the truth, who's not fit to represent our country... #NeverAgain
At The Convention on Tuesday 1/2 @soniapurnell on Boris Johnson: a disrupter who likes the sound of chaos, who thinks he's above the rules, someone with a poor record as London mayor... #NeverAgain
Here’s my speech from @The_Convention_ this week in which I suggested @theSNP @scotgov pre #IndyRef2 #CitizensAssembly to start this Autumn might serve as an exemplar of #DeliberativeDemocracy in the #Brexit age & a parting gift from Scotland to the U.K.🏴🇪🇺 https://t.co/IsZWDTXMvE

“We need another vote (...) because it’s democracy. That vote has to be held to account (...). We need to understand what’s happened with dark money so it doesn’t happen again. We have to have more democracy, not less” @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. I’m not sorry for disrupting the panel after mine. If you see hypocrisy, you gotta stand up against it!

“Politics never looked so messy and so dangerous, and yet there has never been so much hope in the same time” @paulhilder #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 ☹
@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: it’s a global phenomenon: @jeremycorbyn was out protesting against Trump but he won’t stand against Brexit. When will he see the 2 are connected? @carolecadwalla @The_Convention_ #NeverAgain
LIVE STREAMING NOW 🔴 @carolecadwalla at The Convention on the Landscape of Corruption #NeverAgain
