And so it begins. The Conservatives welcome the new PM by pumping Facebook full of Boris Johnson ads. They're running an astonishing 554 versions of these things. Almost as if they're gathering data for an election...pic.twitter.com/HNq9SAophN
The ads link here: a survey page on the Conservative website asking "What’s the most important issue for you and your family right now?" You'll be amazed to hear you have give your name, postcode and email address "to make sure your views get heard" https://views.conservatives.com/priorities pic.twitter.com/dCHAxlIOLi
"Click submit to make sure your views get heard." Oh look! Submit is a nice pink colour, and if I click I get to see more "By clicking submit you pledge to your everlasting soul for the uses of the Conservative Party. Also, you'll get emails. Lots of emails"pic.twitter.com/oB2r6tt7KL
Facebook video ad take of that Downing Street speech. Tone: combative and anti-Corbyn. "Join now and build a movement!" Somehow the message is slightly diminished when you know there are hundreds of alternative versions, because AB testing, but perhaps that's just mepic.twitter.com/04E9KdztsM
This is a serious effort. Hundreds and hundreds of ads, with fractional differences between them. Hardly any money spent: at this stage, I'm guessing, they're figuring out what works best, then they'll refine from there.pic.twitter.com/WVIcIFPk7u
Dude's literally wearing an AI t-shirt. Top trollinghttps://twitter.com/rowlsmanthorpe/status/1154094257092923393 …
Look at the faces in the foreground v background. If I was a cynical man, I'd say this was a calculated attempt to dampen down the Islamophobia issue in order to hammer Corbyn on anti-Semitism Luckily I'm not, so I'm sure it was just a reflection of our beautiful diverse countrypic.twitter.com/O8b5OzoLyA
There's more, but it's too late for this. I'm going to bed. Goodnight!pic.twitter.com/woNKiKVrhd
That Cummings hire wasn’t just today, was it?
Craig Oliver said on Newsnight that he assumes that DC has been working for Johnson's team for some time already and has already crunched data - hence the pledges he's been making to try & attract those in Labour Leave seats.
Of course he has. Plenty of £££s behind a new PR campaign for SM - and TV Radio etc, no doubt. He’s done it once, he’s ready to do it again.
I'd have to go back & check my RTs on that - I don't recall ever RTing a single journalist saying that DC had been running any of the Johnson or cchq SM campaigns. Indeed Oliver ( iirc) said he'd done well to keep that under wraps. ( I recall Staines ran the SM for BJ leadership)
2/ however as I've said many times this summer, I'm also depressed to have to keep asking which investigative journalists have been working on Tory-BXP collaboration? U'd like to think someone been undercover on that for months but ....I give up!
So Tories are ramming FB full of ads. Our democracy has been stolen & @DamianCollins who called for inquiry then supported the figure head of the #RightWingCoup #DeleteFacebookpic.twitter.com/dbt81vNInF
Where are the investigations? Answer no where because there is fraud and manipulation across the board
This is how a bloodless coup works. We are now owned by Trump, Bannon and Putin. We must #resist at every turn. #NoPasaran #RevokeA50
It will accept false info, eg Tory HQ post code and made up emailspic.twitter.com/lthjBtIPK9
Theresa May's local Conservative Assn address works too ... this could be fun
So? Everyone knows an election may he coming, labour, lib dems, free to do them same.
Very true, and they very much are - although the timing of the election is up to the Tories
Indeed.
