The next time Nick Clegg in invited onto BBC to pontificate as an independent tech expert…please note that here he is, named in the $27bn New Mexico judgment as one of execs engaged in a systematic cover-up of Facebook’s deceptive consumer practices.

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC?
We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax.
There should be a criminal investigation.

NEW: ‘It’s an implicit threat’. Lord Tom Watson of Palantir writes to one of its biggest critics - Labour MP @labourlewis.bsky.social - to tell him the surveillance firm is watching him.

So Ratcliffe is now appearing in Reform political ads?
Totally unacceptable behaviour from an owner of Manchester United. But it’s honestly rather predictable. He’s a vile man.

Reform, Avengers, Crypto and Russia? Yes, it's serious. Even I'm still struggling to grapple with it.
A Russian military defense oligarch created a fantasy "space country", Asgardia, which is moving REAL money through crypto; the project includes Reform wannabe candidate Lembit Opik and features proposals from Heartland Institute's Lois Perry.

Nick Candy and Holly Valance. Britain’s most expensive house. A £265m sale.
Usual consequence: £32m of stamp duty.
But five small flats were included in the sale. By an extraordinary happy accident, that cut the tax by £18.5m.
The curious sale of Nick Candy’s mansion

I’m still reeling from the @tom_watson / Palantir news. But I also think it will blow up in both their faces. It’s so transparently desperate.
@andyburnham is going to have to respond to people’s disgust & anger at Palantir’s role in the UK state.
Read the thread 🧵
Good morning
@tom_watson
Your journey from MP who most understood the Cambridge Analytica scandal to paid-up Palantir apologist is really quite the journey.
Hope the 💰💰💰💰is worth it.
Here’s some background reading ahead of your first day 🧵👇

We caught the moment Restore activist @lewisrholmes was "scalded by boiling liquid" yesterday while being confronted about his relationship with neo-Nazi Patrick McGinnis. As you can see, he spilt the coffee on his hand while putting it in a bin. He refused to answer our question

Tell me again that Reform UK aren't rapidly escalating into a fascist party.
Threatening to jail charity workers is pretty Nazi.
