Owen Paterson faces suspension for breaking lobbying rules.

Here's an earlier article on Paterson

Randox which employs Paterson as a paid consultant has been awarded a £133m contract without any other firms being given the opportunity to bid for the work theguardian.com/world/2020/may…
2019 - Former cabinet minister and climate-change denier Owen Paterson is closing down his private thinktank, from which he received nearly £39,000 from unknown donors to fund overseas trips.

And some more on dodgy Owen Paterson

Tory MP Brexiter and climate change sceptic Owen Paterson makes £100,000 a year from a company that is selling private coronavirus tests for £120 each. buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…
Owen Paterson faces suspension for breaking lobbying rules. Why isn't he also being penalised for bait and switch marketing, having attempted to deceive voters into believing Brexit would not mean leaving the Single Market?
Here's an excellent article by @DeSmogUK showing the links between Brexit supporting & #ClimateChange denying groups & politicians including Tories like Daniel Hannan, Owen Paterson, Nigel Lawson & Lord Ridley and the think-tanks in #55TuftonSt & nearby desmog.co.uk/55-tufton-stre…

Here's a modest little project - a global campaign to eradicate tax havens.

#PATH - People Against Tax Havens.

If you like the idea please retweet and spread the news any way you can, and put #PATH in your name or profile Let's get this moving!
Rees-Mogg's father co-authored "The Sovereign Individual" which forecast that the super-rich would free themselves from national taxation, and ultimately seize control of nation states. Tax havens are key weapons in this kleptocratic war of destruction against democracy.
The cost of failure to eradicate tax havens is crime, corruption, lower living standards, higher taxes, crumbling government services, environmental destruction and growing dissatisfaction with democracy.

Dear Dominic Cummings what is 'elite Remain'? After the referendum almost all the leading Remainers instantly turned into frothing Brexiters - meaning they never were Remainers. No Remainer would collude in inflicting Brexit on the British people. At best they are opportunists.
The top echelons of the Remain campaign were staffed by politicians who either were closet Brexiters (not so closet in Corbyn's case) or cynical opportunists blowing with the political wind who really didn't give a damn whether we stayed in the EU. And we still won 48%!
The Remain campaign was basically nobbled from the beginning by being staffed by politicians who either actively wanted it to fail, or didn't really care what happened so long as they could advance their careers.

Brexit has been a catastrophic failure of UK democracy.

1/ For a social class to be a political force requires much more than people being in similar economic circumstances. It requires well developed communities and a web of organisations linking them to a political party. In the British politics these have crumbled.
2/ Deindustrialisation has shattered the working class communities and organisations that formed the backbone of the Labour party. Disorientated voters are now clinging to the fake community of tribal nationalism, and the Tories are taking full advantage. sussexbylines.co.uk/un-divide-to-c…
3/ If we don't understand the political impact of deindustrialisation, then we will be stumbling around in the dark, unable to formulate strategies to deal with a radically and irrevocably transformed political landscape.

1/ The absurdity is that we are even having this debate. A normal Western European country would have completed HS2 at least a decade ago. But there are issues with the eastern branch around capacity on the London leg.
2/ The current plan seems be to run 11 trains an hour from London to the NW and 6 to the NE with some of those dividing en route (slowing them down and introducing delay risks). That puts 17 trains an hour on the London section, which looks over-optimistic.
3/ 17 trains on hour on a 200mph railway may work on a closed system, but HS2 will take trains from the existing network which may well be running late. That means leaving space in the timetable to fit in delayed trains. So 14-15 trains an hour is more realistic.

1/ The Tories continue to lead in the polls. We have to understand that deindustrialisation has shattered the working class as a political force. The opposition has to cooperate in a Progressive Alliance or face a further defeat.

Rachel Reeves says Labour has 'moved on' with regard to Brexit and that Labour will not restore Freedom of Movement.

A political party that 'moves on' from the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history is a party no-one should support.
cityam.com/brexit-labour-…
And for Labour to say it will not restore Freedom of Movement, is for it to say that the fascist torrent of hate and lies against migrants in the Brexit billionaire press was OK and should be swept under the carpet. I think that is beyond disgusting.
I cannot support a party that dares not condemn the xenophobic propaganda pumped out by the right-wing press during the Brexit campaign. For me, collusion in xenophobia is xenophobia. Labour is a xenophobic party.
