This blog has become more about social media and telly over time. The newspapers have lost circulation and influence depends on repeats through broadcast. The day has been with Twitter in background, enough to catch up with #politicslive and then I just went to find a Telegraph in print, enough to try to make sense of SkyNews take on Russia leak as sources of Labour info on NHS.
Kay Burley on Laura Pidcock very strange. As if the document on NHS and Trump negotiation might be fake if leaked via Russia. No claims about authenticity in recent days. The Sky release a news story with headline on "Sceptre of foreign influence". turns out to be the same story as Telegraph this morning - Corbyn's Dossier "points to Russians" .
Meanwhile #politicslive claim "you're just making this up" to Labour. seems to be a way to distract from Trump and NHS during his visit.
In the 2017 election the Telegraph claimed the apparent social media support for Corbyn was because of Russian bots. Similar sources - Ben Nimmo and then Oxford Internet Institute, now Computational Propaganda Project.
Still nothing to dispute authenticity of the document. Just seems to be a stream of claims to confuse.
I guess there will be more of this so will check out the stories more later.
