What do the Tories mean by their championing of ‘Singapore-On-Thames’ post-Brexit freedoms bonanza? Thatcher kickstarted the turn away from Europe with her wish for ‘a kind of free-trade and non-interventionist Singapore’.
Singapore and Hong Kong are indicators of economic governance where the short-circuiting of democracy was the key to their successes. Singapore’s troubling working classes were bypassed in favour of bringing in foreign workers who could be hired, fired, and then deported.
The state shaped Singapore’s success, not the free market, it set up massive land reclamation projects around its coasts using sovereign wealth funds and ‘plugged in’ to multinational corporations. Singapore avoided years of development by bringing in tech and a foreign workforce
Let me take you on a journey from 2016 to 2023. This wine remains one of my favourite wines in our entire range. It’s from North Western Spain and it Albariño. But how much has its price changed over the past 7 years. Well quite a bit… 
The label and bottle have remained the same over the last seven vintages, the price from the producers has also remained the same from 2016-2022, its just this year the price increased due to a shorter than normal crop. The increase was 0.50€ on the bottle from the winery.
This increases was very reasonable compared to many in the region and was required. Now let’s have a look at how the price changed in the UK for wholesale and ultimately the consumer.
#Labour is fighting dirty, provoking the woke @Young_Tories @loveukhatetory What to think? About time? It’s political theatre, grandstanding on the issue of crime. But justified, because the legacy on 13 years of #ConservativeParty misrule has led to #BrexitBrokeBritain #Strikes
The Tories #brexitshambles followed by @trussliz were accompanied by underfunded public services, especially policing, the courts, jails, & probation services. Lawlessness stalks the land and this is at least partly to blame.
We have a government skimping on law&order, without compassion, barely clinging to the idea of public service, and without new ideas. #GeneralElectionNow @labourandtrade is anticipating the dirty political fights ahead, and laying the ground to win them.
I'm tired of reading lies about a wonderful warm kind human being.

Nick Robinson leads by blaming the NHS for the problems with the NHS.
NO
The root cause of #NHS problems is 13 years of managed decline by @Conservatives
A significant contributory factor is #Brexit

Order repeat prescription, doctor fills out prescription sends to pharmacy, pharmacy emails me to say it is delayed due to no stock, medication is made in Belgium. This is happening every month now. Tell me again how there are no delays on meds due to the elephant in the room
For clarity, no I can't take a substitute as you can't fluff around with anti-seizure meds, yes I do have an emergency stash but it is depleting rapidly, no this wasn't happening pre-Brexshit, yes I am concerned should I run out of meds, this is no joke . #BrexShitHasFailed
To drive home the seriousness of this if I didn't have the emergency stash I would be in serious trouble. I officially run out of meds in TWO days time. I ordered my prescription two weeks ago as per the pharmacy rules they don't let me order it earlier.

Tories will not fess up, Labour will not mitigate the damage with common sense approaches like realigning with the EU. The UK has been kidnapped by disaster capitalists, xenophobes, racists and radical right libertarians under the guise of patriotism. What a fucking mess.
The worst is yet to come, 31st Dec REUL Bill sunsets 4000 EU laws in 1 fell swoop, no country has ever done this in world history. Employment rights, food safety, environmental laws, all protections abolished, transition phase mean corporate fascism for UK
I wonder whether any Conservative politicians realise that the period of prosperity we experienced during the 20th century resulted not from exploitation and greed but from a workforce with access to excellent health care, free medicines, free school milk & orange juice for kids
And on free education through to 18 and free university with full maintenance grants to enable every intelligent student to get to the most prestigious institutions and collaboration with other scientists across Europe with generous funding for research
And workers' rights including the five day week that allowed families to enjoy leisure time and spend the fair earnings that gave them freedom and the chance to broaden horizons, instead of working 80 hours just to scrape together the cost of the next meal
in 2015 the so called, dark money funded, think tank, the Tax Payers Alliance published their far right wish list for reducing the state and minimising taxes for the wealthy, this is a thread of *just* the contents!!
Below is the far right taxpayers’ alliance proposing #CharterCities - the next big idea that will have infect the Tory Party. This is what the writer wants for Hull and then #Liverpool . Scared? You should be. Please read.
Below is the link to the whole article. You may think I’m being alarmist, that this will never be implemented. I hope you’re correct. taxpayersalliance.com/charter_cities…
But this idea sat beneath #BrexitBrokeBritain all along. Singapore on Thames. The creation of flat tax, union free, employment rights and benefits free city zones where capital can play without hindrance or oversight. The return of serfdom. Start paying attention or be a victim.
Thread: 1/4 Access to the Single Market & Customs Union would revalue the UK & the Pound. The UK's Credit Rating would improve, reversing the drop due to Brexit. People forget #BrexitBrokeBritain and was to the very great detriment of the UK
2/4 #Brexit was never actually intended. It was Cameron's game of chicken with UKIP & a strategy to stave off UKIP's challenge to Tory voters afflicting Tory polling. The referendum was only ever about preservation of Tory hopes of ongoing power. All to the detriment of the UK
3/4 Since then, the Tory party has downgraded their ambition & has replaced the objective of saving the Tory Party with the objective of saving Boris Johnson. All to the detriment of the Tory Party and also to the detriment of UK

Bloody hell. Every word of this. I hope more moderate Conservatives speak out like this, louder, and more often. This government of mini Trumps is on the ropes, and hasn’t the brains to change course or any compass to navigate itself out of its cesspit.🔥
This is where power-crazy nationalist flag shagging populism leads.
Their propaganda rag not even playing the game today. #TorySleaze
Definitively ‘world leader’
In recession.
Good news for the disaster capitalists who bought Brexit, though.
20 years of work and countless mouthpieces to get there.

If you think that’s a coincidence that the 2014 plan is enacted you haven’t been paying attention.

Bonus chaos.
And here we are:

For the think tank+media mouthpieces/friendly politicians, “chaos is a ladder“
