1/ 40 Tory MPs have joined forces with the chief of law-breaking Vote Leave Matthew Elliott and the IEA in the Free Market Forum. The Tories include Priti Patel, Liz Truss and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng. This is an extremist free market group.
mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
2/ Truss, Patel and Kwarteng slandered British workers as "among the worst idlers in the world" and called for Asian low taxes and an Asian work ethic. In short, a tax haven for the rich and a sweatshop for the rest of us. They are dangerous libertarian extremists.
3/ Matthew Elliott was chief of Vote Leave when it broke electoral law & robbed us of a fair referendum. He should be in jail. Elliott was targeted by Russian spy Sergey Nalobin who was very quick to congratulate him on his engagement. Nalobin described Johnson as a "good friend"
4/ Matthew Elliott isn't just an agent of kleptocratic billionaires. He's linked to the fascist right. He attended the wedding of extreme Islamophobe Candace Owens who has said Nazism would have been fine if Hitler hadn't tried to globalise it.

Keir Starmer’s most senior adviser, Claire Ainsley, is a white, middle class genocide denier and ex member of the SWP, who thinks Labour should engage with working class voters through abstracts like “faith, flag and family”.

Former RCP Trotskyite Munira Mirza is in Number 10 and set up the race report commission, while Corbyn had Stalinist Milne as his right hand man. Maybe our politics could be improved by expelling these creepy spawn of the authoritarian left from their positions of influence.
The authoritarian left may hate fascists, but what they really hate is exactly the same liberal metropolitan elite that the hard right detest, and that's because they see bourgeois democracy as standing between them and power.

‘Bizarre’ UK comments about Australia’s trade minister a ‘serious setback’ to talks

Allies of UK trade secretary Liz Truss accused of launching an ‘unprovoked attack’ on Dan Tehan on the eve of their meeting

Bizarre comments from a deluded government.

Sometimes I think the Tory Brexiters have a calculated plan to turn the UK into a tax haven, but at other times they look like a bunch of petulant and deluded idiots who think the UK is a superpower and the rules don't apply to them.
I can't resist some cod psychology. Some Brexiters strike me as people who are venting displaced and long-suppressed adolescent rage against authoritarian parents - the EU standing in the place of the parents, who as children they dared not challenge.

At least Corbyn kept the support of the Corbynists. Starmer has lost them, and he's loosing the Remainers and anyone wanting electoral cooperation, and he's not winning red wall votes. Starmer is a great deputy but a hopeless leader. For the nation's sake he must resign.
1987, 1992, 1997 - It took 14 years of painfully slow reform & two election defeats for Labour to regain power. With the Tories dragging the UK down the road trodden by Putin and Orban we don't have the luxury of such a leisurely process. We cannot afford a failing Labour leader.
On a smaller scale we can't afford a failing LibDem leader, and that's my view of Ed Davey, who like Starmer is a decent, humane and intelligent man out of his depth as a leader.

Brexiters often say we hate Britain. No! It is they who hate Britain. They hate our open, tolerant, diverse and European Britain. They want to destroy all that and return us the 1950s. And they support a politics of hate, lies, corruption and law-breaking to get their way.
Nationalism when it rears its malign head in established nations doesn't reflect love of the nation, but hatred of it. In order to maintain their pretence of loving the nation the nationalist places everything they hate in the box labelled 'foreign', 'alien' and 'traitor'.
Nationalism of this kind therefore relies not on a disagreement of ideas, but on the division of people into the 'real people' - the 'quiet people of middle England' and the others - the foreigners, the chattering classes, the liberal metropolitan elite...

1/ The Tories were once a democratic party serving millions of middle class people and hundreds of thousands of British businesses. Now the Tory elite serves only itself and its super-rich backers - neither of these groups cares for democracy.
#FBPA #ProgressiveAlliance
2/ Like the Republican elite, the Tory elite and their kleptocratic media allies and paymasters have learnt that they can manipulate poorly educated voters through crude appeals to their fears and prejudices. The 2019 election results clearly reveal this.
3/ This politics of manipulation means the Tory elite and their kleptocratic paymasters no longer have to worry about actually benefiting the people who vote for them. All that is required is an endless supply of crude, emotive theatrics and slogans.

Please retweet if you want the opposition parties to cooperate in the next General Election in order to get the Tories out.

#FBPA = Follow Back Progressive Alliance
The political system and media are already hugely biased towards the Tories. If they win another election they will so distort our political system that the UK will in effect become a one party state. That's why a #ProgressiveAlliance is so necessary.
A #ProgressiveAlliance will not fall into our laps. Labour requires a rule change to make it possible, and Labour's byzantine decision-making process and powerful vested interests, I'm sure including Len McCluskey, will make getting agreement to a PA a massive struggle.
