The new Tory Party Deputy Chair pushed the antisemitic conspiracy theory of "cultural Marxism", & attended #antisemitism awareness training after being an active member of a FB group in which other members supported Tommy Robinson & promoted Soros conspiracy theories.
The confused infantile culture war "patriotic" nationalist & Tory Party Deputy Chair, #30pLee, refused to watch England in the #EURO2020 final because he was boycotting their matches over the players’ decision to stand up to #racism by taking the knee.

Some Tory MPs know that their divisive & childish culture war strategy is toxic.

One senior Tory MP described Deputy Party Chair #30pLee refusing to watch England in the Euros because they took the knee: “It was absolutely tragic... a laughing stock".

theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
Here's the new Tory Party Deputy Chairman provocatively mocking those who care about the #ClimateCrisis.

The few remaining vaguely rational Tory MPs have got the measure of #30pLee: he's a loudmouth, appointed to distract voters from the Govt's criminal destruction of Britain.
A wealth of strong evidence - largely ignored by the billionaire-owned Tory-supporting press who were so keen to discuss #antisemitism when Corbyn was LOTO - STRONGLY suggests that many high-ranking @Conservatives do NOT honour #Holocaust survivors.

Predictably, in light of the stitch-up Review, the Telegraph claims #PREVENT is 'politically correct'.

For years, the GROWING threat of far-right extremism is consistently played down by the UK Govt, the billionaire-owned press, & right-wing think tanks.
Image
Political rhetoric & news framing has dragged public discourse so Far Right, that the @Conservartives' rhetoric is virtually indistinguishable from the BNP & National Front of the 1970s - their "invasion" rhetoric is reminiscent of Nazi anti-Jew rhetoric.
And speaking of anti-Jew rhetoric & the use of antisemitic tropes & antisemitic conspiracy theories, it was NEVER @UKLabour MPs or Corbyn who used this grotesque language, it was - & still is - @Conservatives & Boris Johnson:

Suella Braverman will shortly respond to the #PREVENT Review into extremism.

Anyone paying attention has known for years it was always going to be an anti-Islamic ideological stitch up, because it was led - somewhat ironically - by ideological extremist William Shawcross.
Of course, there is ZERO chance that senior @Conservatives' relentless use of explicitly antisemitic tropes & conspiracy theories, & other divisive & dangerously irresponsible far-right "invasion" rhetoric will get a mention in Shawcross's #PREVENT Review.

More propaganda from the free-market extremist Telegraph, who claim 'Head of #NHS review General Gordon Messenger says more money won't solve #NHS crisis!' Messenger's review recommendations were dismissed as "either peripheral or so vague as to be virtually worthless".
In June 2022, General Messenger completed a review of leadership in the English #NHS considering the "pay & incentives" of its most senior figures, as well as the "effective systems for intervention & recovery in both providers & integrated care systems".

The Review called for improved leadership & made it perfectly clear the #NHS actually has “far too few managers” with low spending on administration & planning compared to other healthcare systems.

🚨@BBC CLARIFICATION🚨

During a @BBCNews interview about the prescription of statins, consultant cardiologist (& imho grifting fearmongering conspiracist outlier) Dr Aseem Malhotra made unprompted claims about excess deaths & Covid vaccines which were not challenged at the time. Image
Dr Malhotra referred to British Heart Foundation (BHF) figures showing there’ve been just over 30,000 excess deaths involving heart disease since the pandemic began.
Dr Malhotra said: “what my own research has found, and this is something that is probably a likely contributory factor, is that the covid mRNA vaccines do carry a cardiovascular risk.”

He acknowledged ‘uncertainty’ at what is causing excess deaths...

Who is Alan Mabbutt?

A new Tory website paints union donations to @UKLabour, collected from workers in every sector, as some kind of problem.

In 2017, @Conservatives received 10 TIMES MORE in donations than Labour, much of it from dodgy Russians & non-dom tax-avoiders! Image
The website is "Promoted by Alan Mabbutt on behalf of the Conservative Party".

In 2021 he was (still is) the Conservative Party DG & Registered Treasurer, & was named by the Electoral Commission in this damning report into Johnson's #wallpapergate lies.

In 2015, the Tories were embroiled in a scandal under Cameron when it was revealed they were spending £100,000/month on Facebook ads, the bulk spent on collecting email addresses - back then a new method of bombarding voters with political messaging...

Specific terms with very different meanings, such as ‘asylum seeker’, ‘refugee’ & ‘migrant’, are increasingly & misleadingly used interchangeably, & frequently collapsed into the single category of ‘foreigner’ or ‘other’, or more recently in the UK, "illegals".
This is despite the very clear definitions of these legal terms.

Fear of foreigners is constructed; they are framed as dangerous "illegals" "flooding" into Britain, & blamed for many problems - certain 'foreigners' are the scapegoats of the present era.

"Border Force officials predict 80,000 of these ILLEGALS will FLOOD in via the Channel this year alone." "Not to mention a national emergency on the Channel with unprecedented ILLEGALS arriving." - GB "News" presenter, Dan Wootton.
