Now the twelfth has rocked the shaky Westminster foundations and set off alarm bells throughout unionist ranks.

While this story has quite rightly dominated news bulletins in Scotland and been greeted with […]

Campaigns and consultants have spent the last four years worrying about the Trump campaign’s digital operation. Even before COVID-19 upended the election and forced candidates online, the Trump campaign was geofencing campaign rallies, micro-targeting digital ads, and amplifying deepfake videos.

President Trump’s campaign manager has called what […]
