Steve Hilton, WikimediaTelling fact from fiction can sometimes be a challenge – particularly in this age of fake news, clickbait and spin. To take just one recent example, last Friday the Telegraph ran a story that Arron Banks and Steve Hilton were “teaming up” under the headline, “Ukip's biggest donor and David Cameron's former strategist in plot to oust 100 Remain MPs”. Sounds like a big deal, right?
I am Steve’s co-founder at Crowdpac, the open platform for new politics. As the person who runs all of Crowdpac outside of the US – where Steve focuses his own attention – I am quite sure that I would know of any such plot. But that headline took me completely by surprise, because it was nonsense on stilts.
