‘This is the great paradox of our time. The #authoritarian right rails against an establishment that is, in many ways, already doing its work for it.
#Farage and his allies perform the role of anti-elite insurgents even as they champion the most corporate-friendly, deregulated politics imaginable.
Strip away the theatre and #Reform UK is a billionaire-backed project to dismantle the public realm, shred regulatory protections and hand what remains of state power to capital.’
Clive Lewis MP
‘And the current #Labour government, rather than resisting these trends, risks entrenching them.
Invite #BlackRock into your industrial strategy. Hand over #NHS data architecture to #Oracle.
Populate your boards with corporate lobbyists. Expand surveillance powers and #digitalID infrastructure.
At that point, when the far right eventually take office, they will not need to construct the tools of repression. We will have built them for them.’
Clive Lewis MP
