🧵UK MPs and RW media have had "enough of experts"

Some examples of the disinformation and ideology we are up against

Swayne describing SAGE as "Dr Strangeloves"
2/ Swayne again, claiming road accidents and flu are killing more people than covid

They aren't
3/ Bridgen claiming infection is 20× better than vaccination at providing immunity
4/ Morgan equating basic public health measures far below a lockdown as tyranny
5/ Mcvey ( Chair of Collateral Global APPG)
"Pushing back against the lockdown fanatics"
6/ Mark Harper Chair of CRG being quite blunt in his criticism of Johnson and SAGE
7/ Graham Brady Chair of the 1922
"Authoritarian nonsense"
"Labour would have us in permanent lockdown"

8/ "The Saj" Our health secretary has gone to Balloux for advice

Couple of weeks ago he claimed UK wouldn't reach 100k cases...
9/ Meanwhile Lucy Johnson in the Express weaponises child deaths from abuse with a very misleading use of the statistics to fit her agenda
10/ Pearson of Telegraph claiming the government will manipulate hospital figures

O'Sullivan reckons Omicron won't kill anyone
11/ Carl Heneghan is also across the media, written and broadcast

Still claims masks don't work, claimed there would be no second wave, Collateral Global member
12/ Good article linked here on Heneghans track record
BTW he deleted the whole of his twitter from 2020 after all those claims covid was over
Sidenote:For accuracy Balloux 100k comment was more than a few weeks ago
14/ Then Fraser Nelson gets into a discussion with a SAGE member which the typical characters jump on as if its some smoking gun
15/ We then get people in the media arguing with scientists about what modelling means

16/ Doesn't matter how clearly its explained, their confirmation bias won't allow them to understand now.

This is why UK policy is a mess
17/ As this is the message the hardcore rebel MPs are giving Johnson

Your lockdown or your political life
18/ One person who doesn't get it is MP Marcus Fysh, he calls for the removal of the scientific advisors

This lot are like Trumpian Republicans with posher accents
19/ Telegraph reports that at least a dozen ministers blocked measures

So Johnsons hands are tied until the ideological libertarians in his party decide the situation is out of control

We're screwed
20/ 21st and Ian Duncan Smith is quoting Heneghan on #r4today 🤦🏽‍♂️
21/ And now we're back to the with not from arguement, so what's happening in London @johnredwood?
A mass outbreak of clumsiness?
22/ We shouldn't be in this situation, failure of accountability and lack of scrutiny has led us here
23/ How representative are the MPs opposing our current measures?
24/ And Triggle at the BBC appears to be hooked up on a hopium IV
25/ Christopher Chope sounds like a cultist
26/ Daily Mail intent on maintaining its usual journalistic standards
27/ All in this together
CRG, Great Barrington Declaration, RW media

🧵So Musk has decided to go off on one about the UK again

Migrants, Rape Gangs, Lucy Connolly, tweeting Tommy Robinson, and backing Rupert Lowe over Nigel Farage

Just before Farage goes to the US in September and as big antimigrant protests are planned shortly afterwards Image
Image
Image
Image
2/ Some similarities to before the Southport attack and subsequent riots, creating a narrative and setting conditions to prime potential rioters for the next event that can be used as a match to start the fires
Image
Image
3/ Musk offers to fund legal actions in the UK Image

1/ Lucy Connollys appeal was funded by the Free Speech Union
Allison Pearson of the FSU led the media in supporting Connolly and promoted the crowdfunder that raised over £150k for Connolly (after Lawrence Fox took a 7% cut as it was his crowdfunding site that was used Image
Image
Image
Image
2/ The FSU was set up with support of Peter Thiel
James Orr a founding member of FSU is also on the Edmund Burke Foundation's board which organises NatCon, that Orr is also on the board of

JD Vance is Thiels minion, previously spent a record $15 million on getting Vance elected
3/ Vance has been leading the US attacks on free speech in the UK

The FSU has been busy backing anti-abortion and anti-trans legal cases, working alongside Christian Concern and US ADF, an important NatCon group

Vance is linked to NatCon

Why is @Tony_Diver giving a full page interview to Malhotra in the Telegraph?
The self-titled "leading cardiologist" has become an antivax hero, who has to publish his papers via his own journal because they are as dodgy as anything Wakefield put out

Deeply irresponsible Image
Image
Image
The platforming of disinformation grifters in mainstream papers, particularly Telegraph, Express, Daily Mail, GB News and TalkTv is contributing to the increase in vax hesitancy
People will die because of shoddy journalism from likes of @Tony_Diver
@Tony_Diver 3/ Describing Malhotra as "serious public prominence" and promoting his antivax papers without pointing out that he set up the journal it's printed in, is frankly dishonest journalism Image

1/ Telegraph and Toby Young claiming "culture nationalism" being included is the latest attack by Labour on Free Speech is a lie

The Conservatives added this to Prevent in 2023 Image
Image
Image
2/ From my October 2023 article for @BylineTimes on the updated Prevent training Image
@BylineTimes 3/ While they misrepresent Conservative policy to attack Labour complaining that cultural Nationalism was too broad a term, they didn't have a problem that socialism was also added to Prevent at the same time

1/ So Toby Young, now a member of the house of Lords is directly receiving support from Musk, a member of a foreign government Image
Image
2/ This is after the FSU jumped onto a case of a teacher appealing against a school for being dismissed for their online posts, the case was being backed by Christian Concern and FDU piggybacked as an intervener Image
Image
3/ Worth noting the case centred around a petition from CitizenGo, an organisation identified as being part of a US/Russian network designed to undermine sexuality and reproductive rights Image

🧵Trump 2.0 

While much of the UK media has focused on DEI, tariffs and confirmation hearings there's been less focus on what appears to be an attack on the US constitution, purges of people and scientific information, and efforts to supress opposition and scrutiny
2/ First a quick look at the pardoned Jan 6 rioters as an example

3/ The interim Attorney General for DC had defended some of the rioters
