1/ Rees-Mogg is now Minister for Brexit opportunities. I guess they include his dream of slashing environmental and safety standards, Patel’s hope to slash social and employment protection, and Hannan's dream of privatising the NHS. ImageImageImage
2/ Raab, Patel, Truss and Kwarteng will be hoping their 'Britannia Unchained' dream of Asian low taxes and an Asian work ethic will come true. What they want, of course, is a tax haven for the rich and a deregulated sweatshop for the rest. Image
3/ Rees-Mogg might also be hoping to help realise his daddy's prediction of a world in which super-rich Sovereign Individuals first escape national control and then take control of nation states. Image
4/ Another Brexit opportunity

Feb 2018 - Right-wing groups plot to ditch EU food safety standards. The groups include the US Heritage Foundation, and the Cato Institute founded by the Koch brothers, and Tory Brexiter Daniel Hannan's 55 Tufton St. IFT. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

1/ Johnson shows all the signs of being a narcissistic psychopath. The Tory elite put him into office knowing his character. My belief is that given the chance he will gladly destroy democracy and the rule of law in order to cling onto the narcissistic gratification of power.
2/ Johnson, it is said seeks popularity. But now he is unpopular he still wants power.

Johnson's quest for popularity was never to please people. It was to prove his power to manipulate and control others. Now he is PM he doesn't need to please people to control them.
3/ Johnson wants freedom for himself and that means controlling others and smashing democratic, legal and normative curbs on his power. All of that suits his kleptocratic enablers who want the curbs on their power destroyed.

Please retweet if you want a Progressive Alliance to get the Tories out.

We are sick and tired of infantile and outdated Tory-enabling political tribalism. We want grown-up electoral cooperation.

#FBPA Follow Back Progressive Alliance
Daisy Cooper MP @libdemdaisy has argued that Progressive Alliances don't work. I would argue that she is wrong. The clear tactical voting messages in byelections will be muddied in a General Election, unless there is something like the 1997 Blair-Ashdown pact.
The 1997 Blair-Ashdown pact was kept quiet, but the agreed list of seats for tactical voting was published in the Mirror. It was very effective. I cannot see how that could be reproduced in the present day without the Tory media getting wind of the fact that there was a pact.

1/ How far will Johnson go? If he wins his battle to survive it will be through intimidation blackmail and rule-breaking. With every politically corrupt and abusive step he and his clique takes, the adverse consequences of losing power will become ever greater for them.
2/ Once a ruling clique has gone past a certain stage in the abuse of power, the adverse consequences of losing power become so great that they are driven to cling onto power by ever more abusive means. Has the Johnson regime reached that point?
3/ If the Johnson regime believes that it has reached that point of no return then, if it survives the present crisis, it will redouble its attack on democracy to ensure that it cannot be removed from power and made to face retribution for its misdeeds.

1/ We still don't have a name for the force attacking democracy. It is international. It has taken over the Tories and US Republicans. It is backed by billionaires like Koch, Mercer, Murdoch and Thiel. It links sociopathic greed with nationalism, fascism, racism & bigotry.
2/ The force attacking democracy isn't a top-down organisation. It's a web of money, power and influence linking individuals and groups sharing the desire to destroy liberal democracy. It's backed by Putin, but he only has an effect because others in the West share his goals.
3/ It is frustrating that we still lack a widely agreed name for this web of money and power, greed and hate which is attacking democracy. We only have names for the parts, not for the whole. How can you fight an enemy for whom you have no name?

1/ Carole Cadwalladr is in court today to defend herself against a defamation suit by Arron Banks. It is therefore timely to remind people that Banks has been an enthusiastic peddler of pro-Kremlin propaganda, as can be seen in these tweets.
2/ Here are more tweets in which Arron Banks spouts Kremlin propaganda.
3/ And here's more of Arron Banks making himself look like an eager little Putin tool.

1/ Interesting to see how the libertarians and fascists are united in hatred of masks and lockdowns. The libertarians have a sociopathic lack of care for other people. The fascists hate these measures because they can only understand them in terms of authoritarian domination.
2/ And that's part of why the libertarians and fascists both supported Brexit, because neither group can understand or appreciate working together for the common good. Both groups experience unselfish cooperation as humiliating oppression.
3/ Democracy only works when individuals and groups cooperate to maintain it. That's an ethos which libertarians and fascists loathe and despise, and it's why they are now united in an international kleptofascist movement that is attacking democracy.
