  1. I have been largely avoiding the news for a little while to retain what little sanity remains, so I did not notice the extraordinary(?) claims by Habib (ex Reform) that Farage was paid to withdraw candidates to make way for Johnson’s Tories. Coincidentally, Harborne, the source of Farage’s £5M also found £1 down the back of the sofa to bung at Johnson. Will anyone be held to account? No don’t answer that.

    This is almost certainly #illegal unless his lawyer is amazingly better than the DoJ has. Will #Garland act fast enough to mitigate the damage? knowing him probably not, he's the Comey of this election. #Elon #voterigging

    Episode 4 of The Gatekeepers describes how 26 Facebook bot accounts were able to influence 3 MILLION voters in the Phillipines, and how this was only a dry run for the 2016 US Presidential election.

    Steps taken by Facebook to prevent a recurrence of such malign influence in 2024 cannot so far guarantee similar tactics won't work again.

  4. Elon Fires Half Of ExTwitter’s Election Integrity Team, Because A Manager Liked A Tweet Calling Him A Fucking Dipshit

    and here was me thinking that he was a) a grown man, not a spoilt toddler and B) pro-free speech, demanding the truth from his employees!

  5. Musk ditches X’s election integrity team ahead of key votes around world...and yet X's repeated infractions of the EU's hard lines has resulted in precisely NO action, what will it take for #X to be banned from the #EU? Perhaps less trying to get a Tesla factory, and more giving a dam about this integrity they keep saying they have!

  7. East Anglia Bylines
    We've received information about an 11th hour briefing to polling station clerks, to turn away ID-less voters before they enter the polling station, so they can’t be counted as having been officially turned away.

  8. Paul Waugh: "The Tory voter ID experiment is like Trussonomics – but based on even less evidence. Only three per cent of those without acceptable photo ID applied for a free certificate – leading to fears thousands could be turned away"

    The voter ID scheme is borrowed from the Republicans and is designed to gerrymander the election.

  9. Electoral Commission warn Oliver Mundell MSP over postal vote 'fishing'
    A VOTER in Dumfries has gone to the Electoral Commission (EC) after he received a letter from Tory MSP Oliver Mundell inviting him to complete a postal vote application form and return it to his office – and not to the “preferred address” of the local Electoral Registration Officer.
