🧵Been warning for ages that the far right are breaking through into the mainstream, that we have been seeing an international movement developing and that the Republican Party and Conservative Party are advancing the agenda of the same lobbyists
8/ Other characters at the Hungarian CPAC, just the fact what has become a central part of the US radical right is hosting international events is a warning sign
9/ German article on Hungarian CPAC, lots of translated screenshots to follow
10/ It was a serious international meet up with lots of RWers from around Europe and US
"God, Nation and Family" was the motto

17/ They wouldn't try that here you say, not for a long time yet, they are in the process of building support to start chipping away at abortion rights
There is an anti abortion APPG with Turning Point support
18/ There is also the APPG on Downs Sydrome, HART member as expert, Liam Fox, and opaquely funded secretariat who have a Bill which campaigners are worried about how it creates a hierarchy of disability and potentially could be used to start chipping away
19/ With Collateral Global/HART with their own APPG, Rosindel sitting on dozens, Molly Kingley also chosen as expert witness on early years the whole APPG system needs a massive overhaul, for a start bad involvement of opaquely funded groups
Some perspectivd
Partygate might be annoying but unlawfully sending patients untested into care homes,
PPE contract corruption
Health/genomic data to Palantir without tendering is why the PM should resign
Johnson claimed he has protected the economy by coming out of lockdown faster than the rest of Europe

🧵DfE creates NTP using funding that could have gone directly to schools, schools give it a go and find it's not very good
Zahawi now telling schools he expects schools to spend PP on the NTP
3/ Want to address inequality between private and state schools? How about providing more funding?
Zahawi says he didnt bother to ask treasury for more money because we already have all the money we need as we see fire and rehire occuring in schools
