(2/2) That letter was performed at a @letterslive event by @Elif_Safak at the @UnionChapelUK in March 2019 #Europeishome

(1/2) Exactly a year ago a group of high ranking German leaders from industry and public life wrote a letter to the Times, with a reassuring message that whatever happens, Europe is always home.
Whether you are regretful, relieved or resigned, today is marks an historic moment in our relationship with Europe. 2,000 years of interaction on a cultural, social and historical level generates roots that are nonetheless mercifully beyond the reach of ephemeral politics.
Hadn't seen @joannaccherry so thanks for including me in your tweet. As Orwell said speaking truth in times of dishonesty is revolutionary, couldn't be prouder to be in this group of revolutionaries @AOC @GretaThunberg Lady Hale. Thanks @RedMagDaily

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

Last night I spoke at @The_Convention_ about how we can safeguard the future of our democracy from the dodgy money & dirty data that polluted the EU ref.
For far too long we've been complacent. Our new @CampaigningAPPG seeks to put that right. #NeverAgain
Starts @ 3:39:00... https://t.co/siUYKK5KIP
A very big thank you to everyone who came to @HenryCPorter ‘s @The_Convention_ tonight to listen to and discuss the big threats facing British democracy. It is incumbent upon us all to defend the U.K. from the dark forces of nativism, populism, corruption and nationalism.
Excellent evening @The_Convention_ , great insights from @carolecadwalla @maryftz @cliodiaspora @Femi_Sorry @IanDunt @NickCohen4, Shamir Sanni, Dominic Grieve, Lord Neuberger amongst others and brilliantly MC’d by @pimlicat, thank you all for fighting for #democracy #RuleOfLaw

“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_
