You may not be aware of Tory MP Danny Kruger - perhaps better known as Prue Leith's hard-right son - but the malign extremist ideology & influence of this "evangelical Christian" should not be underestimated.
While the sponsors list for London 2023 has yet to be released, the main sponsors of previous events have included Republican billionaire 'libertarian' mega donor Peter Thiel, owner of big data and surveillance company Palantir.
A #THREAD about John Smith's recognition of the need for unity in @UKLabour.

When John Smith became @UKLabour leader in July 1992. he introduced the ‘one member one vote’ system for electing the Party leader but otherwise wanted to minimise conflict within the Labour Party, which was still smarting from the general election defeat under Kinnock.
John Smith wanted to heal divisions and focus instead on the unpopularity of the Tory Government.
John McTernan stated John Smith and @UKLabour were heading for “certain victory” in the 1997 general election.

In a very crowded field of Brextremist Tory MPs, 82-year-old Bill Cash is described by Ken Clarke as THE most "Eurosceptic", who was the leader of the Eurosceptics during the Maastricht Rebellion of the early 1990s, reaching its height in 1993.
Hardline Eurosceptic Tory MPs refused to support the government of John Major in votes on the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty (Treaty on European Union) in British law. Major's party had a small majority, giving the relatively small number of extremists great influence.

Last year, the @GoodLawProject launched a legal campaign to uncover the insidious network of 'think-tanks' & lobby groups based around #55TuftonStreet.
These shadowy organisations have a disproportionate & harmful influence over UK politics.

The @GoodLawProject set out to expose who’s behind them & who’s funding them.
They've recently been looking into @RestoreTrustNT, who unsuccessfully tried to infiltrate the @nationaltrust & want to shut down debate on issues like slavery & LGBTQ+ rights.

In 2021, 'Restore Trust' had 6,100 current & former @nationaltrust members - just 0.1% of its membership - & endorsed Stephen Green, leader of anti-homosexuality Christian fundamentalist lobby group, Christian Voice, which has claimed abortion is comparable to the #Holocaust.

#THREAD on the (surely?) ironically named 'The New Culture Forum' - yet ANOTHER shit-stirring-hard-right-free-market-obsessed-anti-woke-#55TuftonStreet-based-think-tank, featuring all the usual suspects, & founded by idiosyncratic Brextremist ex-ukipper, Peter Whittle.
Whittle is founder & director of the 'New Culture Forum' think tank, & host of the right wing @YouTube show 'So What You're Saying Is...' -imagine a kind of self-help group/show for the "silenced" (🤪) 'stars' of the unhinged Libertarian wing of the anti-woke mob.
The New Culture Forum is part of the gang at 55 Tufton St, which since the 2010s has hosted free-market hard-right lobby groups, a group of which, dubbed "THE NINE ENTITIES"😳, use the building for biweekly meetings to coordinate policy & public messages.
