Never forget that between 2010-2018 £340,000 per year of tax payers money funded the ERG. Each Tory MP that paid £2000 subscription fee claimed that back on expenses. Information on ERG research was never made public, Rees-Mogg's staff denied he was even a member. #BrexitLies
ERG also has a 2nd bank account for private donations, the extent of their funding runs into the millions. Tax payer money was crucial to ERG's success. Westminster 'regulator' looked the other way. Brexit was forced by a cartel of far right libertarians and disaster capitalists
Private foundations have very few legal restrictions, by law they have to donate 5% of their earnings to 'no-profit' charities. Well guess what? They get tax deductions so they can impact society under the aura of generosity to salve public resentment. The ultra wealthy run Govt
Govt refuse to comply for over half of FOI requests, your taxes are supposedly a guarantor of that info. IPSA (Parliamentary Standards Authority) aggressively fought any attempts to release ERG's research effectively legitimizing the 'party within a party' status of the ERG.
Here's WHY the ERG aggressively shaped Govt policy, it's for post Brexit libertarian hell, their 'hard Brexit' ideology is stealthily underway; deregulation/repealing of EU laws, charter cities/freeports, Neo-Feudalism coming to UK🧵
The tax payer picked up the tab for a cartel of far right ideologues intent on razing a stable country's economy, rule of law, to the ground. A revolving door of corporatist cash buying political influence copied and pasted from the US, Austria and Australia=Disaster capitalism
Large % of ERG 'research' was done via whatsapp, you know what happens when mobile phones are requested as evidence of dodgy Govt dealings? They get burned, lost, replaced, 'high school excuses for missing homework' Rampant libertarianism rife in UK. I just got blocked by Hannan.
How much public awareness is there about Charter cities? Mordaunt, Mogg, Baker, Truss etc are readying the UK for them, all those small farms given Govt bungs to close, provides land for property magnates to invest in private homes, schools, hospitals...
verfassungsblog.de/the-danger-zon…
Your families lives are being shoehorned into a post Brexit dystopia. Curricula in 'academies' as Mogg wants to call them means indoctrination, private healthcare, 'Home-rule' will push poor out of rich cities into slums forcing workers to commute from them to earn slave wages.
Add it all up, cost of living crisis, fuel and food poverty, ambulances queued up outside overwhelmed hospitals, wealth tax on oil magnates 100% voted against by Tories, water companies slap on wrist fines encourage them to ignore improvements and reap profits, same for partygate
Charter cities under corporatism can make their own laws beyond reach of Govt because they aggressively lobby policy changes that furthers all out deregulation. Thiels(Paypal) charter experiments in Honduras have had disastrous impacts on locals, it fails,he takes money and runs.
This is anarcho-capitalism, Brexit under the guise of patriotism, the populist mantra smuggled in a Trojan horse choc full of +450 r/w think tanks funded by a global cartel of oil and property magnates. They lept out onto UK soil and now they are wreaking disorder and chaos.
Fred Koch sold crude oil separation techniques to Stalin and Hitler in 1930's, Koch empire born from world war. Their contempt for welfare state seen as 'theft' of their taxes has shaped r/w policy and poisoned democracy for decades, it has steadily grown into a corporatist giant
In defence of tearing up the NIp imperiling GFA, Frost just had a meeting with guess who? Heritage Foundation the worlds most influential r/w think tank. Rev $86,808,369 Exps $75,065,736. Truss's Global Network of Liberty will cause UK free market mayhem, you are chattel to them
Operation Yellow Hammer a Govt doc that actually predicts what is happening now in the UK save for the cherry on top the pandemic that accelerated a situation that disaster capitalists thrive on. Great British PPE Heist and Covid Fraud Goldmine for criminals and Govt alike.

Public money is one big giant ATM for this Govt. Enough!
Deregulation is well underway for the UK's post Brexit future, take a look at this thread on UK Govt awarded #Palantir £5.9m for ‘Provision of Data Integration Services’ 18 months ago
£1.7m extension last week
Peter Thiel is extremely dangerous
Understand that Govt regulatory bodies and watchdogs such as they are will be dismantled under the next wave of Tory libertarian despotism. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) already turned a blind to partisan Brexit policies of ERG
Typo - blind 'eye' of course

@Guardian keep presenting only one side of the 'economic growth' narrative, it goes like this companies don't like paying their fair share of taxes, they don't like the rise in National Insurance Contributions (NICs), they don't like wage rises for their workers, it will mean less profits for those at the top'.
But the other side of the story is about 10 year corporate tax breaks in special economic zones (SEZs) for example Employer National Insurance Contributions relief.
Know that companies in SEZs are already pushing to extend the tax breaks beyond the set deadlines.
From the UK Govt's website (Note: this page is out of date there are 48 SEZs in England not 13)

@Guardian business section, same story as above by Michael Jacobs. Once again compare the puff piece with the UK Govt's SEZs program.
It ignores the Tories baton of SEZs that Labor has quietly adopted, corporate tax breaks, State aid funding of 74 SEZ is £160 million each multiplied by 74 = £11 billion 840 million.
Guardian are not being honest with the public.

Did you know that Labour MPS, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses signed off on Sunak and Truss's SEZs/Freeports as board members of their nationwide free zones consortia between 2021 and 2022? So when Labour say they inherited the Tories free zones they are flat-out lying to the public.
Labours Metro Mayor Andy Burnham signed off on the Manchester SEZ. Labours Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram signed off on the Liverpool SEZ and Freeport. Former FM Mark Drakeford signed off on 8 SEZs and 2 Freeports with Sunak, present at the signing was Shanker Singham, known as the brains behind Brexit.Image
10 articles on Freeports from @BylinesCymru including mine - 'Mr. Drakefore, with all due respect, Sunak's Freeports are a Threat to Democracy'

Once again the Guardian ignores zone fever, its long history which is part and parcel of for its current influence over UK Govt policy regarding free zones.
Not one mention of deregulated privately run special economic zones which are the criminally corporate bedrock of Dubai's economy in the article.
It is also clear that Wiki has been censored to not reveal the harsh human rights, smuggling, and environmental abuses that are key facets of zoning in Dubai/UAE.
theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…
Starmer's changed Labour Party are working with major stakeholders from dozens of companies and are being advised by governance consultancy's who specialise in deregulatory frameworks for Special Economic Zones, Locus Economica is one such consultancy. locuseconomica.com
Locus Economica worked very closely with the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, our former Queen officiated at the opening ceremony of the Free zone in 1979. Jebel Ali Freezone is the flagship zone of DP World.
Welcome to Brexit dystopia where deregulation that follows the culling of EU/UK retained laws on employment rights, food safety, and environmental protections were shredded on 31st Dece 2023, with 1000's more for the chop by 2026.

It’s official. Labour ALREADY has a worse track record on corporate lobbying than the Tories did.
Of 12 recommendations for government transparency and the lobbying register on Spotlight on Corruption’s ‘scorecard‘, the Tories fully met three, while Labour has fully met just one proposal.
thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
Look at the tables for from Spotlight on Corruption, Labour appalling lack of transparency.
The ethics committee also said that the government should incorporate all transparency releases into a single searchable database. Labour may have backtracked here and has made no public commitment to such a database.
spotlightcorruption.org/wp-content/upl…Image

@openDemocracy reported that corporate lobbyists relentlessly pursued Labour in the year up until the party entered government: Case in point Quadrature Capital Ltd donated over £4 million to the Labour Party just before the general election. Quadrature had holdings in fossil fuel companies worth more than $170m. Quadrature also had significant holdings in the arms manufacturers Northrop Grumman ($31m) and Lockheed Martin ($6m); US private healthcare companies such as UnitedHealth ($31m) and HCA Healthcare ($16m).
x.com/EuropeanPowell…
Some of the largest asset management companies like Blackstone ($22m) and KKR ($7m), who potentially stand to benefit significantly from Labour’s plans to utilise private investment for infrastructure; and tech firms, including Palantir ($71m) and Oracle ($8m).

UK farmers mean absolute zero in the US/UK free trade deal, Starmer will like the spineless servile lackey he is, throw the UK under the US bus, destination Vassal State.

theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Trump already pressuring UK to agree Free Trade deal, Starmer will dance to his tune because Blackrock will order him to do so as well.
Watch Trump and Musk's 'free cities' turbocharge in 2025, UK 74 SEZs will follow suit and become charter city/company towns and privatise citizenship, 1 vote will equal 1 share. UK totally fucked under Zone Fever.
It is not enough for oligarchs to influence elections with massive donations to politicians, what they want is a network state with no politics, everything is to be governed by corporations with 'laws as services that customers demand' - Shanker Singham, (the brains behind Brexit).
What I have been saying for some years now?
Most people have no idea how this ties into the deregulatory push for carve-outs from the host country known as SEZs and Freeports.

Want to know how and why the left has been extinguished from Starmer’s ‘changed’ Labour Party? Find out which politicians from Cons and Labour are members of the British American Project (BAP) set up in the 1980’s, the group does not formally disclose its funders or members.
A key component of the establishments smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn was a secretive US embassy group formed in the early 1980s called the British American Project whose focus was to curtail anti-American drift' in The Labour Party.
In June 2019, then US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited the UK and was recorded saying privately: “It could be that Mr Corbyn manages to run the gauntlet and get elected. You should know, we won’t wait for him (Corbyn) to do those things to begin to push back. We will do our level best. It’s too risky and too important and too hard once it’s already happened.”
declassifieduk.org/the-secretive-…
‘BAP’s aim was to push British progressives into a pro-American political position at a time when the CIA was worried about the strength of the Labour left and its ‘anti-American’ views’.
declassifieduk.org/the-secretive-…
Three senior Labour politicians have recently joined a secretive lobby group which was set up in coordination with the US embassy in London to cultivate the British left Four senior members of Boris Johnson’s administration were also made fellows this year while working inside the UK government.
The BAP’s aim was to push British progressives into a pro-American political position at a time when the CIA was worried about the strength of the Labour left and its ‘anti-American’ views.
Many Labour figures who became outspoken critics of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership from 2015-20 have also been involved in the BAP. Corbyn was the first non-Atlanticist Labour leader since Foot resigned in 1983.
