servants had deliberately produced negative economic models to influence policy. Baker is a right wing climate crisis denying Libertarian pushing for free market dominance that will usher in mass deregulation, he would make Charles Koch very proud. 2/2
Baker is part of the ERG/CRG and the Net Zero Scrutiny Group. Baker founded The Cobbden Centre with the motto 'Peace will come to earth when the people have more to do with each other and governments less'. He identifies as a born again Christian and is an outspoken critic 3/3
of LGBTQ+ and same sex marriage. Baker also wants to return to the Gold Standard which is susceptible to market volatility and especially ruinous during economic recession. So much for caring and concern eh? @SteveBakerHW Don't get why @guardian is platforming this monster.

Tories have compromised national security, rewritten laws to accommodate inhumane policies that Putin would be proud of, punished the most vulnerable in society, destroyed British trade, replaced EU funding with crumbs and allowed energy firms to reap profits while overcharging
your families with astronomical bills. Post Brexit, they've allowed all England and Wales rivers to be pumped full of shit, done limp dodgy trade deals with countries on the other side of the world, deals that will see cheap food banned in the EU flood the UK market because of
Brexit deregulation. They have opened up free market chaos that will ensure multinationals will eviscerate British farming and replace the NHS with US style Healthcare that will see your family selling their homes for any major operations.

Big picture. Right wing libertarians have fomented tectonic shifts in the world's economy that have been planned for decades. The destabilizing and dismantling of western democracy takes time. In the UK's case after leaving the EU, it is naturally speeding up.
Impacts on world trade, laws, human rights and the environment are being accelerated by the rights ability to shamelessly profit and thrive from crisis to crisis, this is the fundamental basis, the founding principles of how disaster capitalism functions.
The right inflicted multiple attacks on society to utilise distribution of disinformation through social media, economic violence as torture while stoking division designed to disorientate and fatigue a nations population. Brexit ref was hatched by US, Austria and Australia,

Russia has fomented the rise of the far right across central and eastern Europe. Like a virus attacking its host, malign Russian influence seeks out and attacks democracies.
Eroding the foundations of democracies takes years to fully achieve the desired destabilizing and disabling effects, as the western model of democracy becomes more discredited and undermined so the Kremlin’s model rises up.
Russia’s networks of influence are complex, rendering a countries ability to conduct oversight through transparency, accountability and the rule of law extremely vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation.

Russian cyber threats grave and present danger to National security
An attempt to hack Org for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, The Hague
Disinformation, Influence - the it 'couldn't happen here crowd' enable Russian fomenting of the far right
EU Ref - HMG did not seek or see
evidence of tampering in results. No provision of post ref Russian interference in EU ref in stark contrast to US 2016 election where within 2 months a report was made. UK Intelligence Community should produce an assessment.
Welcoming Russian oligarchs - 1994 the UK Govt introduced the light and limited touch to regulation on the immense wealth that poured into the UK. Few questions asked about its provenance. The UK's judicial and rule of law was seen as a magnet to the Russians.

UK is run by the Vote Leave regime wallowing in an oligarchs paradise, Patel stopping the Russian Golden visa scheme is too little too late. This is a Govt of the super rich, obscene wealth riddled with abuses of power and innate corruption. UK trust on the world stage
drastically diminished, a monetised coup in place, political influence openly commodified by corporations replete with privately sub contracted donations to ensure that disaster capitalists dictate policy.
The 2000's clearly show the massive influx of Russian money into British politics came with Russian values, a Faustian deal whereby the cultural colonization by oligarchy has totally compromised and handcuffed the UK to Putin.

PM accused his opponents of ‘Russophobia’ for asking about donations to the Conservative Party from individuals linked to Russia, he might as well caress Putin with a natural yoghourt.

Johnson was repeatedly hosted by E.Lebedev at his Italian villa. As Byline Times has previously exposed, Italian newspaper reports suggested that Johnson shook off his accompanying police protection officers in order to attend what were described as “X-rated” parties at the villa
Johnson’s new-found commitment to revealing the influence of Russian money in the UK was also missing when he decided to block the publication of a report on Russian interference in the UK.
