  • 2018.01.17: Anti-abortion group hires agency that pushed Brexit London-based consultancy Kanto to run digital operation. An Irish anti-abortion campaign group has hired a political consultancy linked to controversial aspects of the Brexit Leave campaign to support its drive in this year’s referendum on the Eighth Amendment, to keep the constitutional ban on abortion. The taoiseach and govt are preparing to legislate to allow abortion for all women up to 12 weeks' gestation. Kanto founded by Thomas Borwick, Mr Borwick has also worked with Cambridge Analytica. He is the son of Lady Victoria Borwick, a former Tory MP. The tactics of another pro-Brexit campaign run by his Voter Consultancy firm were criticised and will raise fears about the Eighth Amendment referendum. The Times Elle Coyne, Patrick Maguire

  • 2017.11.21: Johnson and Gove in the frame as Brexit campaign comes under investigation The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced an investigation into the activities of Vote Leave, which campaigned for Brexit during the 2016 EU referendum. [...] Also, Vote Leave’s chief technologist Thomas Borwick (together with renegade Tory and UKIP (now independent) MP Douglas Carswell) has set up a new campaign called Disruptive Communications.

  • 2017.11.18: Thomas Borwick - son of ex Kensington Tory MP, worked for Cambridge Analytica then Vote Leave. His company Voter Consultancy now bullying Brexit MPs with Facebook dark posts. Why? Who’s paying? @CaroleCadwalla
    • Borwick has also just set up a new company "Disruptive Communications Ltd" with Douglas Carswell. See Companies House
    • Here's an interesting connection. Borwick's co-director in YouFundMe Ltd and now Meetrep Ltd is Andrew Whitehurst. Voter Consultancy was also a director of YouFundMe Ltd. Whitehurst set up WESS with Matthew Elliott, Jag Singh & Paul Staines. @MilesKing10
    • Yes. It’s a small world. That’s @matthew_elliott ex-head of Vote Leave, ex-friend of expelled Russian ‘diplomat’ @SNalobin, now fellow of Legatum. And @GuidoFawkes. Oh. And @jagsingh. Here on Conservative Friends of Russia trip to Moscow. Before it was exposed as a Russian influence operation. @CaroleCadwalla
      • A small world that also seems to include Dylan Sharpe, now at The Sun. >> 2012.07.02 "Pageweek appoints...' @FiDaisyG
      • Pagefield was founded by Mark Gallagher "an out & proud Brexiteer" and "a courteous Oxford PPE graduate and ardent Conservative" from same cohort as Jacob Rees Mogg. >> 2011.11.10 "Mark Gallagher..." @FiDaisyG

    • So we're meant to believe that Jag Singh was loyal in his work for the Conservatives In campaign and as a remainer? Yeah, right. Michael Spencer who founded eurosceptic 'Open Europe' also now claims he voted remain. We can't trust these Tories and tecchies. @CockneyCampaign
      • 2016.07.26: We own the political market, saysMessageSpace co-founder Jag Singh. Jag Singh gives brands cheap access to the 'Jeremy Clarkson audience' through an influential blogging network. A small company called MessageSpace, an amalgamation of an ad network and agency, was also split by the referendum result, but it was primarily professional pride at stake. Jag Singh talks of his frustration that he was not able to help the Remain vote claim victory after working on the Conservatives In campaign. "This is the first election I have lost for eight years since working on Hillary Clinton’s in 2008 so it is slightly annoying," Singh says. "Especially because my business partner Paul Staines was working for the other side." Singh set up a group blog called LabourHome in early 2006 with blogger Alex Hilton and met Staines through him. Staines separately introduced Iain Dale, the LBC presenter and founder of political publisher Biteback Publishing, to Singh. Singh + Hilton + Staines forged ahead; Hilton was bought out in 2008, leaving Singh + Staines as the only shareholders. There were initially 5 sites on the network, which included LabourHome, Guido Fawkes and ConservativeHome. Blogs on the network include those of individual politicians such as Ukip's only MP, Douglas Carswell, who asks to be paid in gold. (more...)

  • 2013.03.14: Campaigners target political parties with ambitious data plans. Data on the supporters of issues-based campaigns is being used to help amass a trove of information available ahead of the next general election. WESS founders (l-r): Andrew Whitehurst, Jag Singh, Matthew Elliott and Paul Staines (pic, missing). Details from campaigns run by groups as diverse as Amnesty, the HS2 Action Alliance and pro-smoking group Forest are being used to build up the databank, available to political parties in 2015. The database is owned by a new company set up by Taxpayers’ Alliance founder Matthew Elliott, former Labour digital strategist Jag Singh and Guido Fawkes blogger Paul Staines. Digital specialist Andrew Whitehurst is the fourth partner and the 'W' in the firm’s name, WESS Digital. They hope to take the number of people covered by the database, which they have named Metis, from half-a-million currently to ten million by the end of 2014. Other sources being fed into Metis include aggregated census records, social media profile data and online political advertising response data. WESS = Whitehurst + Elliott + Singh + Staines.
