The LGB Alliance "victory" in Supreme Court is another Tufton Street success in creating conflict on road to intolerance & UK fascism
We can win by smart, happy, humourous behaviour: tolerant cohesion looking after all

"Conservative leadership favourite Kemi Badenoch is running her campaign from the home of a wealthy Tufton Street donor."

@simon_brooke @DaiE Amazingly many of the right-wing pressure groups hosted at 55 Tufton Street are also registered as Charities, though of course they do nothing for young people - apart from lobbing for causes that would prevent them having a future.
-
"Over the last five years, the Street Foundation, a charity set up to support “individuals and organisations involved with children/young people with a disability/special needs”, has given rightwing pressure groups £749,000 – more than 40% of the money it handed out during this period"

Today, the Good Law Project is airing their documentary short, 'Carbon conspiracy: How shadowy think-tanks went to war on net zero'.
In it, we hear from leading figures in media and politics to explore the insidious network based around 55 Tufton Street with undisclosed donors - a network that lobbied for Brexit for years and is now focused on downplaying the climate crisis.

“We know too much about everyone on earth, making it incredible that British people don’t seem to know much about the man on the verge of running the sixth largest economy in the world.” #Labour #Starmer
“I know you’re about to die, but there’s no need to make a scene.”

A decimated #Tory party will not make the opaquely funded think tanks of #TuftonStreet go away. They are now an entrenched part of the political scenery as this latest speedy investigation by the charity commission revealed.

#ToryAnnihilation on 4th July will mean the implosion of Britain’s most historically successful party.
The party of reinvention has perhaps reached the same point in the road as Madonna.
But the dark money that funnels it’s way through shell companies to #TuftonStreet think tanks won’t just disappear…it will find its way into new pockets. Whose?

"There’s nothing to see here, says Andrew Neil, a gaping Sooty for the fist of Tufton Street’s pullcinelean Harry Corbett."

The inhabitants of the #TuftonStreet think tanks don’t want you to be aware of who they are, who funds them or why they get airtime thanks to the likes of Andrew Neil. They just want you to think they are ‘legitimate’ and do ‘research’.
Vorderman not Voldemort…catchy enough for Gen X and Millennials? Possibly.

@ChrisMayLA6 I suspect that, like so many politicians, #Starmer is likely to be more amenable to post-election influence from those with deep pockets and addresses in #TuftonStreet .

@robparsons Me too. I used to agonise over the list, trying to support a range of different voices. Not now, just a straight quick vote for NT-endorsed candidates. It's far too important to keep out the right-wing Restore Trust bunch, who can't cope with critically exploring the sources of wealth behind great country houses and a more inclusive understanding of history.

Reminder for National Trust members to vote in the AGM to stop the anti-progressive Restore Trust council candidates. The NT make it easy online to vote for their own recommended candidates. If you prefer to select yourself, these are the Restore Trust people to AVOID

All of the above backed by Farage and Rees-Mogg, enough said.

How easy is it for the junktanks on Tufton Street to be Downing Street’s outriders and put completely bogus ‘research’ into the rightwing papers of the UK about #NetZero? And do they get away with it?
You be the judge…

"How a thinktank got the cost of net zero for the UK wildly wrong"
Tufton Street telling porkies? Surely not.

Kemi Badenoch Carries on Liz Truss’ Tufton Street Traditions.
The International Trade Secretary is due to speak at a Koch-founded libertarian ‘think tank’, the Cato Institute, that is “dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace”. In other words, as the Cato Institute openly admits, it is committed to “libertarian principles”.
The Conservatives, run from Tufton Street, are libertarian, plain and simple.
