Not Tonight, Josephine !
Michelle Mone has been in the news for making a lot of money from the UK Covid PPE contracts.
The incestuous collision of public & private money happens time and time again in this country – it’s almost as if it is a way of life.

Xmas Transport Strikes
The RMT has just announced some strikes over the Christmas period. I think it is important to remember that without them there would be no Tube service any day of the week.
They deserve decent pay and conditions. It is clear that not enough is being done to make the negotiations transparent. The government is blocking deals from being done even though they like to claim that privatisation has worked. If they want to allow private companies to negotiate with TFL staff and the RMT union then so be it. But they are trying to have it both ways. To claim that privatisation improves efficiency while preventing private firms from negotiating with their workers and unions. Absurd.
Ex-Pollster Zahawi fills his boots
Zahawi claims to have “saved the country” as vaccine minister and that Putin wants strikes in the UK.
Awful man.
He also decries “illegal immigrants” when he himself was an immigrant to this country as a child.
When Kurds are deported from the UK to Iraq and Baghdad, I wonder if Zahawi thinks for a second that that could have been him.
He spent a lot of time with former Tory Chairman Jeffrey Archer before Archer went to jail.
But, in brief, if Archer is your mentor you are likely going to lie.
Housing Rebellion
The people over at Extinction Rebellion don’t appear to get that motivated about homelessness. They talk about climate refugees. And possibly about people starving and freezing.
But I don’t believe I’ve heard the housing issue come up.
Environmentalists are often against building houses. Even though we need them.
And they’re often against people – often referring to overpopulation.
Anyway – the Tory rebellion against house-building could be referred to as a win for the anti growth coalition.
We mentioned the Twitter Files and Matt Taibbi and Hunter Biden’s laptop yesterday – further mention here…
Michelle Mone again…
It’s the alliances in the EU that really gave the game away.
As Britain swung further and further to the right at home they could mask it by pretending it was just the will of the people and that everything was democracy and made sense. But when they started getting into bed with known fascists abroad then suddenly things need to be covered up much more seriously.
There was to be no obvious alliance with racists and the far right if it could be helped.
That’s why Nigel Farage never did business with Marine Le Pen when he was an MEP. Because he didn’t want to be known as a fascist – even though he is.
