When Labour had a Jewish leader, the Tory press were so virulently antisemitic that even now when you Google “the man who hated Britain”, his refugee father’s Wikipedia page comes up

A recent Open Democracy article by, Adam Bychawski, raised some interesting questions about Rishi Sunak - the richest MP in Parliament – who will be a boon for the financial lobby, tax justice campaigners have warned. They're summarised below.

The slide to #authoritarianism continues: UK police chiefs' new guidance uses a definition of “aggravated activism” which includes acts which 'causes an adverse economic impact to businesses”, potentially criminalising #strikes , #boycotts , & taking action against #climatechange .

People seem blissfully unaware of just how fragile UK democracy is, & unaware too of the measures that are being put in place - right now - to protect extremely powerful & grotesquely wealthy interests.

Without struggle, there is no progress.

'American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI) is an influential right-wing think tank that advocates for lower taxes, fewer protections for consumers and the environment, and cuts to the social safety net.'

Great thread—know your Sunak:

Safer Streets. Better schools. Control of our borders. Levelling Up.

Conservatives will NEVER deliver on the manifesto of bullshit slogans they were elected on by the gullible 29% of the UK electorate who voted Tory in 2019.

A Jewish PM, a woman PM and an Asian PM walk into a pub & denounce 'identity politics wokery'.

It's 'postmodern CRT cultural Marxist politically correct identity politics wokery' gone mad!

Little-Englander politicians & the entire UK press & broadcast news media only very rarely provide sufficient context for British people to make informed assessments of important economic, social & political issues.

Sunak's Govt should be honest for once & say what it REALLY wants: no welfare; no public sector; no taxes; no consumer, worker or environmental protections; no food or other standards; no limits on Party funding; no lobbying restrictions; no unions; & no human rights. 🇬🇧
