1/ A short thread on Liam Fox and his transatlantic connections:
Atlantic Bridge: desmog.co.uk/atlantic-bridge.
This links with climate denying billionaire & Tory donor Michael Hintze. Koch bros funded ALEC and Heritage Foundation in the USA, & Gove & Johnson
#TrumpProtest #Brexit
2/ Fox has held repeated meetings with the Heritage Foundation, funded by the Koch Brothers & known for supporting climate science denial and being highly influential in shaping the new Trump administration. It also has many other ties with Tory Brexiters.
desmog.co.uk/liam-fox
3/ Hedge Fund billionaire & Tory donor Michael Hintze funded Atlantic Bridge & is a key funder of UK climate science denial think-tank the Global Warming Policy Foundation founded by Nigel Lawson & based at #55TuftonSt.
desmog.co.uk/global-warming…
4/ #55TuftonSt houses a number of right-wing #Brexit supporting, and climate science denial think tanks including the TaxPayers' Alliance founded by Vote Leave Chief Matthew Elliott. 57 Tufton street houses the IEA - which has funded Matt Hancock
desmog.co.uk/55-tufton-stre…
5/ New health secretary Matt Hancock received £32,000 in donations from the chair of the IEA that wants NHS 'abolished'
independent.co.uk/news/health/nh…
And billionaire Hintze who we saw earlier had funded Atlantic Bridge also has funded the IEA.
6/ An excellent article by George Monbiot on the Atlantic Bridge's transatlantic connections including the Heritage Foundation and ALEC, both funded by the immensely wealthy & powerful Koch Brothers theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
7/ This thread is only a glimpse into the web of billionaires, politicians and think-tanks which is behind Trump, climate science denial and #Brexit, and is using nationalist fear and hysteria as a tool to turn democracy into the rule of the kleptocrats.

I think referendums should be banned in England just as they are in Germany. A large part of English society, and even of the political and media elite can't understand the distinction between democracy and dictatorship of the majority.
The Brexit elite used the referendum as the Nazis used referendums, as a battering ram to weaken democratic and legal checks on government power, demonising opponents and judges as enemies of the "Will of the People". ImageImageImageImage
During the 2 years or so after the referendum England was dominated by a fascist culture of the dictatorship of the majority (really minority) and systematic political intimidation. England was not a democracy during that time.

1/ Brexit Myth - The 2019 election showed Brexit's popularity.

Reality - In the 2019 election 2nd referendum parties gained a clear majority of the popular vote, despite Corbyn, a poor Labour campaign and a wretchedly bad LibDem campaign.
2/ Brexit Myth - Labour was hammered for opposing Brexit.

Reality - Since the referendum Labour has never opposed Brexit. It's electoral failures since then were not brought about by its opposing Brexit.
3/ Brexit Myth - Brexit is inherently popular.

Reality - Since 2017 polls have shown a gradually growing public majority against Brexit. This is in spite of Brexit being supported by almost all of the political & much of the media establishment.

Brexit is not inherently popular

I utterly loathe Corbyn, Milne and Murray for serving as Kremlin stooges, constantly striving to deflect attention away from the aggression and war crimes of Russia and its allies. They are fake antiwar campaigners - frauds collaborating with Putin's kleptofascist imperialism.
Inspite of my loathing for Corbyn I've voted Labour in the last two elections. Such was the appalling lack of realistic choice offered to British voters under FPTP.
In 2014 Corbyn and Milne parroted the Kremlin line that the West caused Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Milne was rewarded by a handshake from Putin just 6 months after the latter attacked Ukraine.

They are fake antiwar campaigners.

1/ Rees-Mogg is now Minister for Brexit opportunities. I guess they include his dream of slashing environmental and safety standards, Patel’s hope to slash social and employment protection, and Hannan's dream of privatising the NHS. ImageImageImage
2/ Raab, Patel, Truss and Kwarteng will be hoping their 'Britannia Unchained' dream of Asian low taxes and an Asian work ethic will come true. What they want, of course, is a tax haven for the rich and a deregulated sweatshop for the rest. Image
3/ Rees-Mogg might also be hoping to help realise his daddy's prediction of a world in which super-rich Sovereign Individuals first escape national control and then take control of nation states. Image

1/ Johnson shows all the signs of being a narcissistic psychopath. The Tory elite put him into office knowing his character. My belief is that given the chance he will gladly destroy democracy and the rule of law in order to cling onto the narcissistic gratification of power.
2/ Johnson, it is said seeks popularity. But now he is unpopular he still wants power.

Johnson's quest for popularity was never to please people. It was to prove his power to manipulate and control others. Now he is PM he doesn't need to please people to control them.
3/ Johnson wants freedom for himself and that means controlling others and smashing democratic, legal and normative curbs on his power. All of that suits his kleptocratic enablers who want the curbs on their power destroyed.

Please retweet if you want a Progressive Alliance to get the Tories out.

We are sick and tired of infantile and outdated Tory-enabling political tribalism. We want grown-up electoral cooperation.

#FBPA Follow Back Progressive Alliance
Daisy Cooper MP @libdemdaisy has argued that Progressive Alliances don't work. I would argue that she is wrong. The clear tactical voting messages in byelections will be muddied in a General Election, unless there is something like the 1997 Blair-Ashdown pact.
The 1997 Blair-Ashdown pact was kept quiet, but the agreed list of seats for tactical voting was published in the Mirror. It was very effective. I cannot see how that could be reproduced in the present day without the Tory media getting wind of the fact that there was a pact.
