Lobbyists linked to political strategist Lynton Crosby (pictured) have been working for pro-Brexit Facebook groups, it has emergedAt least a dozen 'grassroots' groups that spent up to £1million on targeted Facebook campaigns for a No Deal Brexit are linked to Sir Lynton Crosby's lobbying company, it has been claimed. Groups such as Britain's Future and We Are The 52 Per Cent have paid for online adverts encouraging voters to write to their MPs and urge them to back a hard Brexit. The groups appear independent of each other but reportedly share page administrators who work for the Australian political strategist's firm, CTF Partners. They have spent up to £1million lobbying for No Deal, according to documents seen by the Guardian. But some of Mr Crosby's campaigning techniques and the work of his lobbying firm, including with the tobacco industry, have been controversial.
