Two-thirds of £17.1m earned from 2nd jobs went to just 20 MPs, 17 of whom are Conservative.
Boris Johnson Urged to Come to Parliament to Defend Millions in Outside Earnings Amid Bill to Ban MPs' Second Jobs – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2023/02/21/bor…
Ousted premier receiving 50 times size of his MP salary, £200,893 from Aditya Birla in Mumbai, £3,000 from The Spectator for a piece saying he was on a career “hiatus” despite still being the MP for Uxbridge, £246,407 from Bloomberg Singapore, for 7 hours of prep and a speech.
Johnson is now the highest-earning MP having made nearly £5 million since leaving Downing Street last September. This liar is a threat to the foundations of Parliamentary democracy, he should be sacked for gross conflict of interest and imprisoned for selling the UK to Russia.
When oligarchs are in high office they help other oligarchs earn more money by bending the rule of law to the point where kleptocracy elbows out democracy.

It doesn't have to be this way, UK is run by unelected gangsters who exploit the tax system to offshore their wealth and ruthlessly attack those whose taxes support public services. Tories despise this setup and shift public money to private hands, this is disaster capitalist UK.
Private equity is a cancer on democracy, it comprises a transatlantic 'network of liberty' whose untrammeled power and influence on Govt policy making is obscenely tailored to subjugate ordinary peoples lives. This is economic terrorism. #Libertarian

"No tomato shortage here, but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.”
Cropped Out: The Curious Tale of the BBC, Brexit and our Missing Vegetables – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2023/02/24/cro…
I live in the Netherlands, no food shortages here.
The BBC’s got a huge problem.
It doesn’t believe it is its job to tell its audience when it is being lied to by the Government.
So not an impartial public broadcaster then just a mouthpiece for the Tories propaganda.
Kuenssberg's job as the BBC's Political Editor is about as balanced as the proverbial elephant sitting on a seesaw while Richard Sharp's subbing Johnson £800,000 to get him the BBC's top job is hypocrisy on steroids. Lying and libertarianism are not sustainable in a democracy.

As austerity measures increase their impact on UK citizens lives and livelihoods so does the surplus needs of the ultra wealthy who run Govt.

No Cost of Living Crisis for High-Earning MPs bylinetimes.com/2023/02/23/no-…
Does this sound like UK politicians are in touch with a country in the grips of a cost-of-living-crisis?
Disaster capitalists thrive on disorder and chaos, their 'expertise' lies in shorting the economy while looting the public purse. Distraction and division are key factors here
Conservative MP for Tewkesbury Laurence Robertson earned £27,295 on top of his over £80,000 MP salary largely as a parliamentary advisor to gambling lobby group the Betting and Gaming Council.

Brexit bringing you.......rationing.
Rationing in 2023, are you at war UK?
Asda and Morrisons ration fresh produce including tomatoes and peppers theguardian.com/business/2023/…
Depriving a country of food for a few days is dangerous and irresponsible, civil unrest was predicted in Operation Yellowhammer. Be aware that the House of Lords just thwarted Govt's restrictive bill on protesting rights.

Johnson's social Darwinism in action. 'Underclasses' to be subjugated and deprived. This underpins an economic agenda of elevating and perpetuating the ‘fittest’ groups – while finding ways to manage, control and diminish the ‘underclass’. #BrexitReality

Remember Johnson resignation speech where he championed social Darwinism?
It underpins an economic agenda of elevating and perpetuating the ‘fittest’ groups – while finding ways to manage, control and diminish the ‘underclass’.

Charles Murray is a white nationalist extremist who uses “racist pseudoscience, misleading statistics to argue that social inequality is caused by the genetic inferiority of the black and Latino communities, women and the poor”
It doesn't get more sinister and obscene than this.
The Tories are carrying out a live experiment in disaster capitalism on a 3rd country that is currently deregulating 1000's of EU/UK laws that protect people from exploitation by the investor classes. The IEA stated that 'Trussonomics' was incubated by their partisan agenda.

DUP was born of objection, they opposed the GFA. They are political outliers who divided their cities with walls and called for creationism to be taught in schools.
They represent just a 1/4 of the region’s population
The DUP are saboteurs of democracy.

The Bill of Rights legislation would protect fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens, including the right to life, the right to freedom of religion, the right to freedom of expression, the right to education, and the right to good healthcare.
bylinetimes.com/2023/02/02/mos…
It forms a core component of the GFA advocated by an overwhelming majority in NI, a 2021 survey showed 86% of respondents in support of an enforceable Bill of Rights. DUP are hellbent on sowing division and forcing a regime of inequality under the guise of defending 'Britishness'

Russia report states British Est. compromised beyond mitigation by Russia, the ERG are quiet on Russia and extremely anti Europe, remember the Conservative Friends of Russia included Carrie Symonds.
Johnson threatens Sunak’s bid to end deadlock over Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Conservative MPs who are not involved in the ERG told openDemocracy that the group operates as a party within a party and that taxpayers’ money should be returned.
opendemocracy.net/en/freedom-of-…
IPSA forced to hand over the sample of ERG material it had examined, far from being neutral the ‘research’ is highly party-political and that the group operates with a disruptive political agenda. UK is absolutely governed by the ERG, they are psychopaths.
