In 2018, Steve Bannon was in contact with Boris Johnson, Michael Gove & Jacob Rees Mogg, & announced he intended to 'unite the European far right & undermine & ultimately paralyse the #EU'. He now faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted of embezzlement.

Bannon gets around. 'Emails from a Cambridge Analytica employee revealed that Arron Banks had sought Bannon’s help in soliciting campaign donations from US funders. We have no idea if Banks went ahead, but it would have been illegal for him if he had.'

Here's Boris Johnson going FULL TRUMP by accusing a #PulitzerPrize nominated journalist of writing 'complete codswallop', ironically after being asked about his PROVEN links with Trump's ex-campaign manager & ex-Cambridge Analytica co-founder Steve Bannon.

And why were the Tory supporting @BBCNews & @BBCPolitics editors so reluctant to ever mention that dangerous co-founder of Cambridge Analytica, Trump campaign manager & ex-Chair of Breitbart, Bannon, who's stated aim is to build a global far right network, advised Boris Johnson?
We knew in 2018 that Cambridge Analytica got $15million from Bannon's billionaire mate Robert Mercer & Bannon met Jacob Rees Mogg, promising to influence (Brexit) voter behavior by harvesting Facebook data on 50million users without their permission.

Many powerful Governments & countries, including the UK & US, are not only failing to address the oncoming ecological cataclysm caused by global warming, but they're actively allowing a terrifying resurgence of the Far Right, coordinated by Steve Bannon.

We all know the @Conservatives used disinformation tactics with a “new level of impunity” during #GE2019.

And so we now have the most shamelessly corrupt Govt in UK history, & sadly, most pundits, journalists, voters & politicians don't seem to mind.

Spaffer's 'right-hand man' Michael Gove defended Bannon in The Times, implying he'd been demonised by the liberal left & in reality is ‘disconcertingly charming’ & ‘intellectually wide-ranging in his thinking’ - which might help explain Gove's bookshelf.

The EU ignored Murdoch, so he backed Farage, resuscitated the Far-Right (which had been all but defeated) & threw Britain under the side of a red bus, turning our once respected & influential country into an isolated, weak & divided Little England, at the mercy of foreign powers.
He's done the same in the USA: Fox News has helped resuscitate white supremacism & put THE most unsuitable man imaginable at the helm of a global superpower, turning America into a racist, paranoid, delusional & completely divided global laughing stock, on the verge of civil war.
Murdoch's propaganda justifies grotesque levels of wealth inequality.

Since 1989, the USA's top 1% INCREASED their wealth by $21 TRILLION, while the bottom 50% LOST $900 billion.

In the UK, since 2009, Britain's richest 1,000increased their wealth by nearly £500 BILLION.

So despite having a very long history of involvement with explicitly right-wing publications, most recently of course the @spectator, Andrew Neil constantly chastises people who dare to assume his politics might just possibly be right-leaning.
On 15th July Mr Neil aggressively admonished @Femi_Sorry, saying "We've never met or talked. You have no idea what my views are on any major issue today, tho you think you do. To call me "scarily right-wing" is inaccurate, a smear and a hard left trope. You should withdraw it."
A few hours ago, following news that his politics show will not now be running again - mainly because he didn't fancy that late afternoon slot offered him from the @BBC - he even tweeted admonishing someone explicitly expressing their support for him. Why?

Did you know that following the 2010 General Election, the @SNP signalled its willingness to join @UKLabour & the @LibDems in government as part of a rainbow coalition?

Support among Brown's Cabinet colleagues was strong - but backbench prat John Mann urged Brown to step down!
John Mann argued that Brown's continued leadership 'ruled out the credibility of a Lib/Lab pact'.

But formal talks began between @UKLabour & the @LibDems, with Labour's negotiating team consisting of Peter Mandelson, Harriet Harman, Andrew Adonis, Ed Miliband & Ed Balls. 😱😱😱
With @UKLabour now attempting to form its own coalition Govt, the @Conservatives promised the @LibDems a referendum on changing to the alternative vote (AV) system, so Labour said that it would introduce AV then hold a referendum on it.

Here's GE2017 with voting reform:
