@jeremycorbyn Who elected the party members? If members pick the leaders that's selectocracy, not democracy

[Tom Newton Dunn @tnewtondunn]

Startling polling from @Unherd, on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of Brexit. In all 650 UK constituencies apart from three (all in Lincolnshire), more people now agree than disagree that Brexit was a mistake. Biggest movement in left leaning areas.

the ultimate banter timeline would be the tories becoming a pro-proportional representation party before labour do.

JUST IN - Germany could restart three more nuclear power plants, in addition to the three that are still in operation, within "a few months or weeks," says the chief of the Technical Inspection Association (TÜV).

[Simon Wakter @simonwakter]

There is now a clear majority in favour of using nuclear energy and for keeping the plants running, which the German government is ignoring.

[Simon Wakter @simonwakter]

The German testing, inspection and certification organisation TÜV says it's both possible to continue operating the last 3 plants AND to restart the 3 plants that closed only 6 months ago.

I showed the letter to two actual (current or former) FSB contacts, and they had no doubt it was written by a colleague. They didn't agree with all of his conclusions, but that's a different story.
Here's the text, worth reading: https://t.co/KyRDX4VuDV

[Christo Grozev @christogrozev]

This letter appeared different though: it came via a reputable source (founder of https://t.co/CRbu3jRNHI), and it was way longer than a forger would choose to make it (the longer the text, the more risk of making an error).

[Christo Grozev @christogrozev]

Last night, an alleged FSB whistle-blower letter was published that damned Russia's military performance in Ukraine and predicted a disaster for the RU in the next weeks and months. I wasn't sure if it was authentic - as Ukraine had previously leaked fake FSB letters as psy-ops.

@sainsburys why are you advertising on GB news? I'll be boycotting you until you #StopFundingHate

List updated! This week's GB News advertisers also include @BoschGlobal @Specsavers and the UK Government... https://t.co/Gg8qhXZk4Z

Hi @Deliveroo - are you sure that it makes sense for you to align your brand with GB News's agenda? https://t.co/SCF1es1Ef4

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

Andrew Neil’s opening monologue on GB News was about how the channel wouldn’t push false narratives.

Anyway an hour later there’s an uninterrupted, unchallenged to-camera monologue by host Dan Wootton on GB News about how lockdowns don’t work. This is definitely new territory.

[Stop Funding Hate @StopFundingHate]

If your company buys programmatic advertising from Sky Media, it may be worth checking with them about the risk of your brand ending up on GB News https://t.co/0EuxFbgEhA

[Stop Funding Hate @StopFundingHate]

Fun fact: Not so long ago the *Spectator* published an article endorsing pulling advertising from toxic media & noting that: "Companies are moving with alacrity to protect their reputation": https://t.co/zcuaAP8Esz
