#KGBNews ( are they offically a news programe?) #Legatum owns #KGBNews, and here's @Bren4Bassetlaw OUTSIDE westminster ( therefore out of Parlimamentary Privilege) adding to his own contempt charges, verbally, with #Legatum #KGBNews giving him the rope to do so.
Here's that story on #Legatum from 2018, so I think its worth watching what @IoWBobSeely will do now.
*HOW MANY ROLLS OF DOWNING ST WALLPAPER?*

The wallpaper cost £840 a roll.
#NHS nurses will receive a pay increase worth less than half a roll of Downing St wallpaper this year – despite their heroics in guiding the country through a deadly pandemic resulting in 150,000 largely avoidable deaths.

#GBeebies investors may be more interested in #INFLUENCE than financial return: £60 MILLION was raised with help from Libertarian billionaires #Cato's John Malone & #Legatum's Christopher Chandler, & hedge funder Paul Marshall who bet big on #Brexit chaos.
#THREAD about Boris Johnson, dead bodies, Brexit, & Andrew Neil's TV Channel & power.
The news is full of claims that last year, Boris Johnson said “No more fucking lockdowns: let the bodies pile high in their thousands”, which our sociopathic Govt dismissed as "comedy gossip".

Boris Johnson, 2017: "I look at Libya... There's a group of UK business people... want to invest in Sirte on the coast... They have got a brilliant vision to turn Sirte into the next Dubai. The only thing they have got to do is clear the dead bodies away!"
The speech was given to the #Legatum Institute (originally registered in Cayman Islands) a well-funded free-market think-tank specializing in disaster #capitalism, which in 2016, jointly sponsored a report called 'The Road to Brexit'. The foreword was penned by Iain Duncan Smith.
Everyone concerned about #GBNews should read up about one of its main funders - Dubai-based investment group #Legatum - which funds The Legatum Institute, a hard-right "thinktank" similar to the billionaire-funded partisan US think tanks.

The Legatum Institute, with a background in 'disaster capitalism', is arguably the most influential think tank in Britain, pushes a free market pro-Brexit vision, & enjoys privileged access to media & ministers.

In 2018, the Legatum think tank breached charity regulations with Brexit work, & did not provide “balanced, neutral evidence & analysis” & was “not consistent” with the charity’s objectives.

MONDAY: #AgricultureBill is back in the Commons.
Most MPs are well-intentioned & #BackBritishFarming, but the truth is, unless standards are enshrined in law, there is a high probability risk farming will be undermined. .@Keir_Starmer understands this.

.@trussliz thinks it's worth undermining our food, farming, animal welfare, countryside & Enviro standards to get trade deals, but has she weighed up the trade-offs? Trade deals gains are tiny compared to losses from trashing our standards —not just £ losses.

Losses from trashing our food, farming & environmental standards are not limited to the 25-50% of British farms DEFRA expects to go bust.
There'll also be massive costs to public health (those who suffer + the #NHS) from food produced by methods banned here.
