The Govt, US billionaire-funded lobbyists & the billionaire-owned UK press & media LIE to voters every day, falsely claiming British workers are lazy & greedy, & our Universities, legal system, media & public services are all overrun with 'Britain-hating woke Leftists'.

They tell us the Big Lies that the #CostOfLivingCrises is nothing to do with deregulation or the greed of Big Corporations & their shareholders, & that delaying action on tackling the #ClimateCrisis is necessary to save the British people & the economy, when the opposite is true.

They give their friends, funders & other ideological extremists all the juiciest Govt jobs & contracts, & appoint them to head our so-called "independent" regulators, cultural institutions & Commissions, & collude with overseas & non-dom billionaires to demonise any resistance.

This is simply what autocrats do: they lie constantly; break rules; remove the independence of institutions designed to protect democracy; divide voters & distract from multiple crisis with anti-Left culture war rhetoric which scapegoats & demonises minorities & any resistance.

As Britain prepares for an EVEN WORSE PM, & as the #CostOfLivingCrisis pushes millions into bankruptcy & the #ClimateCrisis intensifies, the @Conservatives have NOTHING to offer but MORE OF THE SAME failed policies which brought us to this very dark place.
