April 17: 'Brexit Bad Boy' Andy Wigmore and why praising the Nazis is never a good idea
A key architect of Vote Leave, the former trade emissary to Belize and competitive clay pigeon shooter is in hot water over his reference to the Third Reich’s propaganda machine
His name isn't ringing any bells. That’s because Wiggy likes to operate in the shadows. “He loves being one of the gang but he is happy to let Nigel and Arron take most of the limelight,” one acquaintance is reported to have said. “He sees himself as the guy behind the scenes pulling the strings.”
Wasn’t there a photograph of the Bad Boys alongside Donald Trump outside his golden elevator in Trump Tower? There was indeed, with Wigmore putting a friendly arm round [Nigel] Farage’s shoulder.
“The propaganda machine of the Nazis – if you take away all the hideous horror and that kind of stuff – it was very clever, the way they managed to do what they did,” he reportedly told Essex University researcher Dr Emma Briant. “In its pure marketing sense, you can see the logic of what they were saying.”

June 10:
June 12: Arron Banks has told MPs probing "fake news" his Brexit campaign had sometimes "led people up the garden path".
But he said politicians were also guilty of spin and claimed Parliament was the "biggest source of fake news".
The tycoon, who spent more than £6m on Leave.EU, said he had faced "absurd" claims of Russian conspiracies.
Media committee chairman Damian Collins said it was "difficult to know" whether to take his evidence - and that of colleague Andy Wigmore - seriously.
According to details of emails reported by the Sunday Times and the Observer, Mr Banks and Mr Wigmore also discussed potential business opportunities in Russia including a proposal involving six gold mines.
Mr Banks attempted to laugh off suggestions of a conspiracy over his meetings with Mr Yakovenko, telling MPs: "I was hoping for a good lunch and that is what I did gain from it."
"The only thing we gave in the second meeting was the telephone number of the (Trump) transition team because the Russians wanted to get hold of the transition team."

June 16: Leading Brexit Campaigner Apparently Passed Documents on U.S. Probe into George Cottrell to the Russians
A top Brexit campaigner, who met repeatedly with Russian officials, appeared to share details of the indictment of George Cottrell, a dark web operator working for the campaign.
One of the Brexit campaign chiefs appeared to pass documents detailing an American law enforcement investigation to a Russian official, according to a cache of leaked emails.
The papers, which detailed a probe into dark web money laundering, were apparently shared with the Russian embassy in London by Leave.EU executive Andy Wigmore. They concerned the arrest of Brexit financier George Cottrell, who was seized at an airport on the way home from the Republican convention in 2016 where Donald Trump had just been nominated as the presidential candidate.
Cottrell had been at the convention in Cleveland with his boss Nigel Farage, who dined with Roger Stone and met a string of other Republican operatives and elected officials.
