#BorisJohnson’s legacy? He has ruined #Britain’s place in the world | #MichaelHeseltine | The Guardian

"The former PM’s insistence to ‘Get Brexit Done’ is the biggest historic mistake this country has made in peacetime"

For those who don't know, Heseltine was a Tory MP and was Deputy Prime Minister under John Maor.

Just 7% want Boris Johnson's resignation honours - do you want them?

The public are sick and tired of political patronage and seeing prime ministers pack the House of Lords with their friends and supporters.

Our exclusive new polling found that found just 7% of people support Boris Johnson’s plans to hand out dozens of new peerages, months after he left office.

It is time to end this squalid, undemocratic practice and replace the bloated Lords with a smaller elected second chamber where the people of this country, not ex-prime ministers, decide who shapes the laws we all live under.

Add your name to those opposed to these appointments:

No knighthood for Boris Johnson’s dad

Boris Johnson is trying to hand a knighthood to his own father Stanley Johnson. This absurd level of corruption cannot stand.

Johnson has nominated his father to become a ‘Sir’ as part of his resignation honours, the Times revealed. This is a list that outgoing prime ministers get to choose – but it is unprecedented to select their own family members.

Boris Johnson has a track record of nepotism in appointments, having previously put his brother and several close friends into the House of Lords.

Large #tax rises from #JeremyHunt ‘could put #UK at risk of deeper slowdown’ | #Economics | The Guardian

We had #Austerity under #DavidCameron and #GeorgeOsborne, followed by some political chaos under #TheresaMay and the egregious #BorisJohnson and it's about to get much much worse. I know that the #government is not immune to and, on the contrary, is rather prone to international conditions but I'm pretty sure the public have had enough. We must have a #GeneralElectionNow even if any incoming party will face the same problems. The #Tories have surely blown their cover as being fiscally competent.

That about sums it up. Good synopsis by Farage. Apparently Conservatism is dead in the UK and the global central banking system decides UK economic and monetary policy.

In short, the UK has been usurped by neoliberal-globalists and the British people have been completely disenfranchised. UK Democracy is dead. Neoliberal-globalist coup.
