Tories are torturing and killing their own citizens.
What are you going to do about it?
Austerity is a fascist policy choice.
The Govt's hands are soaked in blood. #EnoughlsEnough
The Guardian view on Tory austerity: an unpopular policy returns theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Unions are now criminalized for daring to demand pay rises in line with inflation, yet private sector workers disputes are settled sensibly. Anything to do with the public sector is a target for ruthless libertarian attacks...during times of exceptional crisis.
Hunt the 'tech bro' promises to turn the “UK into the world’s next Silicon Valley, made possible by Brexit”
this will only favour the saver-investor class, deregulation will tailor laws to allow the private sector to literally get away with murder, subjugation chaos and disorder.
Hunt's measures will ensure capital accumulation's counter offensive profits from hobbling the working and middle classes of decent pay/rights/working conditions. Impersonal laws of the market weaponized. Mogg's REUL Bill will unleash absolute corporate control beyond Govt reach.
Austerity=depoliticization of the economic to create a division between politics and the economy. It hinges on the Tories libertarian ideology of private property, extreme profiteering from subjugating the labour force and shutting down all those who oppose. This is inequality.
For inequality to function, libertarian experiments in austerity are made during times of crisis, when people are in shock. Tories know peoples defenses are down and will submit to brutal policies without protest as they are desperate to get by so they take crumbs from the table.
You need a compliant msm to perpetuate and distract, demonize and blame 'the other' for societies ills, the judiciary, lawyers, foreigners, academics, artists, experts and intellectuals, cue Brexit. A common stealth tactic is avoiding democratic scrutiny of economic decisions.
Libertarian right have established consensus around a theory of economics as 'objective' and 'neutral' that transcends class relations by absolving Parliament of all debate, reducing PMQs to a pointless ritual, a regime of anti-governance tailored for free market fundamentalists.
Unchecked governance has paved the way for austerity measures, this segues into fascism.
2 buckets - 1 is Govt deficit, 2 is non Govt surplus. 90% Tax goes into Govt bucket, this goes on public spending.
10% surplus in 2. Govt deficit is -10%
Tories hate this, so they steal.

Here's why Mogg has championed India as a saviour of UK's deregulated post #Brexit trade over the entire EU.
The WTO is undemocratic, it puts the rights of corporations over human rights, child labour is fine, trading with despotic regimes is encouraged.
legalservicesindia.com/article/1320/S…
WTO is seeking to privatize essential public services such as education, health care, energy and water. The WTO’s General Agreement on Trade in Services, or GATS has a list of +160 threatened services. Ring any bells people? Isn't Brexit wonderful?
Here's a sample of what WTO rules are threatening, elderly and child care, sewage, garbage, park maintenance, telecommunications, construction, banking, insurance, transportation, shipping, postal services, tourism.

Senior Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs have scolded the Government for using £45 million in ‘levelling up’ funding in an attempt to fix Brexit-related queues in Dover.
bylinetimes.com/2023/01/19/far…
This is the price the country pays for Johnson's reckless legacy, the Tories much trumpeted 'levelling up' agenda is desperately trying to put sticking plasters on it's own cock ups. It was always going to be this way, Brexit cannot work.
@LaylaMoran "The Tories decision to erect barriers to trade with our neighbours has done real damage to the UK economy – and now vast sums of taxpayer cash is being spent on trying to mitigate the damage. It’s farcical"

@CarolineLucas “The future of democracy is on trial, British Govt continually turned a blind eye to jaw dropping findings of Russia Report. With a GE on horizon & Russia’s war on Ukraine showing no sign of abating, the stakes have never been higher"

Johnson eventually 2022, telling the House of Commons: “I have seen absolutely no evidence of successful Russian interference in any electoral event”
British Intelligence Services begged to differ, they were explicitly not asked to investigate.
In response to this glaring and potentially compromising lack of electoral and national security, a group of parliamentarians took the UK Government to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last March, with the support of campaigning journalism organisation The Citizens.

The Labour Party told Byline Times there is ‘no reason why a serving constituency MP needs to make thousands and thousands of pounds as a consultant or by lobbying on behalf of businesses’

Transparency campaigners told @BylineTimes that the absence of regulations policing the relationship between donors and MPs is “deeply damaging to the health of our democracy”.
REUL Bill will usher in a deregulation frenzy that will effectively allow corporations to run the UK

Unregulated All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are a new breed of think tank who bypass lobbying registration rules to gain access to legislators.
Corporations will have their own laws post Brexit to unleash hell. This is the privatisation of the UK
bylinetimes.com/2023/01/17/spe…
National Residential Landlords Association funding APPG on the private rental market; gambling companies donating to MPs in APPG; fossil fuel companies backing MPs looking into renewable energy – all taking place lawfully at the heart of British democracy.
APPGs do not have official status within Parliament. They exploit being unregulated – yet have considerable influence over policy-makers. Eg: APPG funded by private health interests and Govt figures discuss the redevelopment of hospitals, as the NHS crisis continues to unfold.

The REUL Bill will sunset 4000 EU Laws on 31.12.2023
3 main areas are Employment, Environment and Food Safety.
Official UK bodies representing these key areas explain how serious deregulation is.
I believe it will pave the way to fascism in the UK.🧵
The Employment Lawyers Association states Equality Act under threat, womens equal pay to men abolished, safety in work place, rights to sick leave, holiday + thousands more hanging in balance.
An attack on working women, misogyny weaponised for political subjugation by an entrenched patriarchy.
