Boris Johnson's £100m no-deal Brexit advertising drive run by US-owned firms - Scram News

They may have London based subsidiaries but the Engine Room seem to run at a loss, great to avoid tax.

As for the Directors.

Well one is British. The other American.

Surely there will have been a procurement process for such a large public spend.

I haven’t checked the other (American owned) company yet.

It is my bedtime.

“If there have been worse performances from a prime minister at the dispatch box in the last five years, no one could remember them. Much more of this and letters will be piling up in the 1922 Committee demanding the return of Theresa May.”

theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
2/. “Long before the end of his 90-minute appearance, most of his Tory MPs had left. Even those who clung to their careers enough to vote with him later in the day would now do so only under sufferance as it dawned on them just how badly they had been mis-sold.”
3/. “The PPI claims hotline for duff prime ministers would soon be in meltdown.”

@JohnJCrace on absolutely cracking excoriating form here.

“Conservative rebels said they felt “liberated” walking through the lobbies facing imminent deselection as they backed moves to stop no-deal Brexit, with several emphasising that the government’s threats had been the catalyst for their decisions.” theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
“Ed Vaizey, the former culture minister who had kept his intentions secret until the vote, said he felt liberated by his decision to rebel. “When you hear those speeches in the House of Commons by Antoinette Sandbach and Ken Clarke, you just know you are on the right side,”
“Rory Stewart, the former international development secretary, also joked as he won GQ’s politician of the year that it came on the night he had ceased to be a politician.”

We have spoiled children in Government.

No wisdom.

No foresight

No kindness.

Historic rebel victory:

“Johnson was the first prime minister to lose his first Commons vote since 1894. His attempt, in alliance with his advisor Dominic Cummings, to bully parliamentarians into submission, had fallen apart” politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/09/…
2/ (Johnson) “had barely started talking before Conservative MP Phillip Lee walked across the floor of the House, turned to the right, rose up the steps and sat beside Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson.

It was a moment of high political drama.
3/ “Swinson is mercenary in how she utilises these moments for the strongest possible impact. Johnson saw him, lost his trail of thought, and suddenly there was a flicker of despair in his eyes. He had a majority of one and it was now gone, right in front of him.”

💣Treason💣

The Trump Adm has virtually obliterated the lines normally separating gov’t policy making from corporate & foreign interests & sought to profit personally

Flynn, Barrack & others pushed a scheme to build dozens of nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia.

#Grifters
💣Treason💣

And did so while seeking to avoid 123 restrictions on the transfer of U.S. nuclear technology and reap profits from the effort

Barrack submitted drafts of 2016 'America First' energy speech to UAE & Saudi for edits & TeamTrump largely accommodated requested changes.
💣Treason3💣

Barrack arranged for language requested by the UAE & Saudi officials to be added to Trump’s speech with the help of Manafort.

“This is the most likely final version of the speech. It has the language you want,” wrote Manafort in an email to Barrack

HOW CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA IS A L 🔑 NEXUS POINT

INTO THE BREXIT/2016ELEX RUSSIA CONSPIRACY PROBES
Cambridge Analytica’s exploitation of private data from 87 million Facebook users is a significant piece of the conspiracy to defraud the US, UK French (?) electorates.
I haven’t seen any definitive reporting linking Brannon’s Far R The Movement & the use of CA, to help elect Le Pen, but it isn’t a stretch to imagine it was likely used to assist the right-wing effort to disaggregate the EU.

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

EXCLU: Boris Johnson supporters want no-deal #Brexit, less talk of climate change – new survey of party members reveals.

theconversation.com/0-118633

Thread based on analysis by @ProfTimBale and Prof Paul Webb ⬇️ Views of Tory Party members by first choice of leader
While only around a quarter of the wider British public support leaving the EU without a #Brexit deal, 85% of Johnson’s supporters within the party are keen on a no-deal departure.

66% of Conservative members said the UK should leave without a deal.

On #climatechange? There are striking attitudinal differences between those who support Johnson and those who support the others.

1 in 5 Tory rank-and-file members would like to see less emphasis.

Rises to 1 in 4 among Johnson supporters.

1. Nobody ought to be surprised by the ineptitude unfolding in British politics in respect of #Brexit. Brexit really just brings it centre stage - but it has been there all along for those who care to look...
2. Take the Iraq invasion. Our generals assured us that it was just a matter of keeping the peace and ti was our recent experience in Northern Ireland than made us the operational experts. That assessment proved to be... less than accurate. Some might say breathtakingly arrogant
3. We assumed that we could keep the peace by running a hearts and minds operation going out in soft skinned landrovers. It didn't take long for that idea to disintegrate and soon we were taking avoidable casualties and losing control of the situation.

Thread: How are UK online news outlets covering #Brexit in 2018? An analysis, with data and charts!

Part 2: **Cabinet vs Shadow Cabinet**

#Labour #Conservatives

Again, usual spiel on being conducted in personal capacity
I’ll start off with saying that this really isn’t looking great for the Shadow Cabinet… So for the faint of heart or easily enraged, look away now. 1/
Across ~2000 news headlines on #Brexit since Jan 18, there were 463 references to Conservative Cabinet ministers, and just 48 for their Shadow counterparts.

In other words, 91% of news headline references to Cabinet-level MPs were to Government politicians. 2/
