Fascinating @guardian interview with Stanley Johnson from 2012.

Clip 👇 and full interview here

Could provide some answers to the utter disregard of economic prosperity with #Brexit and #COVID19 if Stanley has played #CriticalRole in his son’s ideology.
There was this strange event too

inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Like father like son? Clearly @EamonnHolmes sees more than a resemblance. 1/2 👇

“As far as immigration from third countries is concerned, here too – I would argue – we have to take back the control of our borders which we appear to have lost, de facto if not de iure.”

conservativehome.com/platform/2015/…
Here’s Stanley advocating for a mega emergency which would “take out huge chunks of the human race”.
Stanley Johnson shocked viewers when he joked that it was okay to 'hit your wife over the head if she's got the scrambled eggs wrong.'

dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…
To be fair, Stanley Johnson is passionate about population control.

express.co.uk/news/politics/…
It’s an incredible coincidence that as the eldest son of a man who spent his life advocating for depopulation became PM, a virus took hold and ensured a pandemic. Which in turn saw 🇬🇧 have one of the highest death rate in the 🌍 Image

People say the UK can’t be like Norway 🇳🇴 because of “population size.”

The truth is, Britain’s real problem isn’t size.

It’s obedience.
🧵 Image
Norway 🇳🇴 used its oil wealth to build a $1.5 TRILLION sovereign wealth fund.

The UK used its oil wealth to fund tax cuts and deregulation.

One chose long-term planning.
The other chose short-term greed.

Norway didn’t waste its oil wealth on tax cuts and scapegoats.

Because it doesn’t have:

❌ Nigel Farage
❌ GB News
❌ The Daily Mail
❌Thatcherism
❌ A culture that worships wealth and blames the poor Image

Nigel Farage says a migrant deal with @EmmanuelMacron is wrong because “this is Brexit Britain—we voted to take back control, not to accept a deal from a French president.”

But here’s the thing:

This is Brexit Britain. And it means a permanent migrant crisis we can’t fix. 🧵
Farage is right—this is what Brexit Britain looks like:
•We left the Dublin Regulation, so we can’t return asylum seekers to the first EU country they entered.
•We scrapped freedom of movement, but kept labour shortages that drive exploitation.
•We burned bridges, then begged for lifeboats.
ow small boat crossings are up, and the UK has to beg France for cooperation.

That’s not “taking back control.” That’s losing the tools we once had, then complaining about having to deal with the consequences.

🧵1. Britain is heading for a food crisis.

Grain shortages in Russia and Syria.

UK farms hit by drought & floods.
Morocco in historic drought — and we’re still importing their last tomatoes.

Meanwhile, British farmers are paid not to grow food 👇

2. Russia — the world’s biggest wheat exporter — has slashed export taxes to zero.
Why? To stop bread prices rising at home.
Their harvest is down ~14% due to hail, frost, and drought.
A global grain shock is already underway. 🌾🌍 Image

3. The UK won’t be spared.
We had:
•Winter floods (crops not planted)
•Spring drought (crops dying)
•No strategic grain reserve
And British farmers are being paid to take land out of production under post-Brexit schemes.

🧵 1. Rachel Reeves cried in PMQs. The markets wobbled. And BlackRock stepped in.

What just happened wasn’t compassion. It was a moment of rupture in a govt stitched together by executive overreach, narrative control — and global finance. A thread. 👇
bbc.com/news/articles/…
2. Reeves broke down during PMQs last week.

On the surface, it looked human - even relatable. But markets saw something else: instability. And they blinked.

newstatesman.com/politics/econo…
3. When Kwasi Kwarteng — the man whose mini-budget nearly broke Britain — is defending Reeves …

🚨 You should smell a rat.
This isn’t a new regime. It’s a continuation of the same class war, just with a red tie.

🧵 Steve Coogan has dropped a political truth bomb.

He says Starmer’s Labour has abandoned its principles and is paving the way for the “racist clowns” of Reform UK.

But there’s a deeper story here — about Maurice Glasman, Blue Labour, and a dangerous ideological drift. 👇 Image
Coogan’s points to a hollowed-out Labour Party — one that talks like the Tories, governs from the centre-right, and ignores the social decay fuelling Farage.

“It’s all gesture politics… They’ve abandoned working-class people.”

That’s not accidental.
Maurice Glasman — Blue Labour’s architect — has pushed for this exact direction:

•Tough talk on immigration
•Embrace of Brexit
•Demonising the left
•Nostalgic nationalism

All dressed up as “working-class values”.

Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s Cummings, is Glasman’s protege.

🧵 Last night on @Channel4News, Lord Maurice Glasman (who claims that McSweeney is one of theirs) said the quiet part out loud:

Brexit was just the beginning.

What comes next? A radical border regime, slashed welfare, and a purge of “progressive” politics — under Labour. 👇
Glasman called Brexit “a great move by the British people”. For him, it wasn’t about sovereignty — it was about rebuilding the nation on harder, harsher terms: national service, closed borders, and an end to liberal rights.
This is the ideological engine behind Starmer’s rightward lurch. Glasman, who founded Blue Labour, wants to reset the nation — not toward social justice, but toward tradition, obedience, and state‑enforced identity
