Carole Cadwalladr's work

I couldn't agree more with this journalist. 

The opposition has hardly tried to respond to this crisis. According to me, the UK should have a unity/transition government until it solves this utterly tragic attempt at self-destruction. Exit or not...

The referendum was illegally won. The result is not legitimate. It’s not possible to hold free & fair election. Opposition totally failed to hold PM & his advisor to account. Right-wing press has buried it. And kindest thing to say about BBC is it cocked up. This is not democracy

If we had a functioning opposition, it would demand: 1) urgent overhaul of electoral law as top priority 2) demand govt insist Zuck comes to UK to give evidence 3) ban microtargeted political ads until FB can demonstrate safe 4) demand answers from Johnson re Vote Leave fraud

5) demand Johnson send Cummings to DCMS 6) demand proof from govt that its deliberate conspiracy to illegally overspend in last days had no impact on result 7) if evidence not forthcoming demand govt acknowledge it has no mandate for Brexit & must go to the people again

And a few words from an exceptional elected US representing:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@AOC

Here’s what we know: - Zuckerberg ”doesn’t know” when he/FB discovered the Cambridge Analytica scandal. That is hard to believe. - After Zuck privately met w/ Trump & far-right, he’s now allowing paid disinformation ads. - He didn’t tell the whole truth abt his “fact checkers”
